Chapter 67: The Fallen God
Only when the inexplicable emotion in his heart faded a little did Ares slowly move his hand away from Lu Yi's eyes.
Although Lu Yi felt puzzled, he didn't say much when he saw that Ares seemed to have a strange expression.
"Put everything away." Ares turned and whispered.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi obediently put the thing in his hand into the space ring.
"Thank you, teacher."
Ares rubbed Lu Yi's head and said softly, "No need to thank me between you and me."
There was an inexplicably warm atmosphere between the two of them, separating them from the other people in the room for no apparent reason.
This feeling of being out of place caused the corners of Callisto's mouth to droop slightly, and a hint of fatigue seemed to emerge between his eyebrows.
"It's almost time for today, I'll go ahead."
Before Callisto finished speaking, Paso stood up beside him.
"I have something to do. I'm leaving now."
As Paso spoke, he threw a black stone towards Lu Yi.
Lu Yi took the stone steadily, and when he looked closely he found that the unremarkable stone in his hand turned out to be the Stone of Katesas.
It is the magic stone that can help one pass the threshold from an apprentice magician to a full-fledged magician without any side effects.
Lu Yi remembered that he also had a piece of Katesas Stone on him, which was a gift from Robbins.
Although Paso seemed unkind, the small gift he gave was unexpectedly thoughtful and practical, and was exactly what Lu Yi needed at this stage.
Lu Yi held the pitch-black magic stone in his hand, thinking that he probably benefited from Vest Rand's help.
He looked up at Paso's back as he turned and left without hesitation after throwing the magic stone, and said hurriedly: "Thank you, His Majesty Aparri, for the Stone of Katesas..."
Hearing Lu Yi's voice, Paso paused slightly.
But he did not look back, and continued to walk forward on his own, even walking straight past Callisto and leaving this small space first.
Callisto stopped when he passed by Lu Yi and asked softly, "Lu Yi, when do you want to come to Kadifan to see the osmanthus? I will send the Knights Templar to pick you up."
When Ares heard what Callisto said, his brows, which had just relaxed a short while ago, narrowed again.
"If you want to see osmanthus flowers, you might as well go to Corona, which is recognized as the city of osmanthus flowers."
Callisto chuckled, "Ares, you still haven't improved your ability to grasp the key points. Sometimes what matters is not what you do."
"Besides, Lu Yi has already accepted my invitation. We are just discussing the right time."
After saying this, Callisto no longer paid attention to Ares' rather ugly expression.
He said to Lu Yi with a faint smile: "Lu Yi, don't worry, the osmanthus flowers will still bloom for a long time. You can come to Kadifan anytime you want."
After Lu Yi nodded slightly, he walked out of the room very calmly.
Seeing Ares being humiliated one after another, Reed couldn't stop smiling.
He even patted Ares' shoulder with a gloating look, and then ruffled Lu Yi's hair hard.
"I'm leaving too. I won't disturb you and your teacher and student from getting to know each other for the first time."
Before leaving, Reed continued to provoke: "However, Xiao Luyi, in the process of getting to know Ares, if you feel that there is something inappropriate and you don't want to continue, you can come to the Magic Tower to find me at any time."
"I personally think that I am better at teaching students."
Chenggong saw that Ares's face became even gloomier, and Reed walked out with a smile on his face.
At that moment, only Lu Yi, Ares and the principal were left in the room.
Ares's eyes moved towards the headmaster, as if silently urging him to leave.
The principal understood his urging, but he waved his hand and muttered, "Lu Yi has chosen you to be the godfather teacher, do you still care about this moment?"
Ares raised an eyebrow, "Why don't you care?"
Isn't it a very reasonable thing to be alone in a room with your student and teach him carefully?
The principal was dazzled by the way he looked at a third party. He stroked his silver hair and said, "Come on, Lu Yi is still a student of Braceside! You are too overbearing as a teacher..."
"Besides, Lu Yi and I still have something important to discuss!"
After hearing this, Ares did not leave, but sat down slowly again.
"Business? This is about my only student, Lu Yi. I can't leave."
Ares raised his eyes and looked at Lu Yi, "And I believe Lu Yi shouldn't mind if I sit in on the class, right?"
Lu Yi tilted his head and thought, I do mind.
But considering the Dragon Reverse Scale and the three red scrolls, he reluctantly changed his words and said, "Of course I don't mind the teacher being here."
"Lu Yi, sit down."
Ares pointed to the empty seat next to him.
Lu Yi didn't think much about it and sat down next to him.
The principal's mouth twitched slightly. He sat alone in the main seat and said with great sorrow: "Well, now I am an outsider..."
"But since Lu Yi has said it's okay, I can't chase you away. Just listen if you want to."
The principal looked at Lu Yi and his expression became somewhat serious.
He asked seriously: "Lu Yi, I want to ask you something."
Ask him something?
"What's up?"
The principal glanced at Ares, and then said to Lu Yi: "Do you still remember the seventh type of word spirit mage you met during the freshman competition?"
Lu Yi nodded, "I remember."
The woman named Loris was wearing a cloak to cover her face.
"Loris is also an outstanding freshman who was specially recruited by our professor. Her special talent of Word Spirit is extremely rare and has great potential. The comprehensive evaluation given by the teachers in the admissions office is as high as 89."
For each year's freshmen at Braeside, the admissions office will give a rough and vague comprehensive score. Most freshmen's comprehensive scores fluctuate around 75.
Some people with outstanding talents will get a higher comprehensive score at the beginning of their awakening after baptism.
Once this comprehensive score exceeds 80, it reaches the threshold for Braceside's special recruitment.
It was the first time that Lu Yi heard about Braceside's comprehensive score. He asked curiously, "Comprehensive score? Do I have a comprehensive score, too?"
"Every freshman has a comprehensive score." The principal smiled.
The promotion criteria for Braeside's grades are strictly based on the comprehensive scores of freshmen. Being admitted means that the professors in the admissions office believe that the freshman is capable of meeting the standards.
It’s just that due to various factors, different people will reach this standard at different times.
"Can I know my overall score? If it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask..."
"It's not inconvenient." The principal looked at Lu Yi and smiled, "This score is actually updated every year."
"The professors in the admissions office gave you an initial overall score of ninety-nine."
Lu Yi blinked, "Is the full score 100?"
Since the comprehensive score of the specially recruited Loris is 89, it doesn't make sense that the upper limit of this score would be one thousand.
The principal nodded and said humorously, "The professors in the admissions office were arguing over this score! I heard that more than half of the professors wanted to give you a full score, but the rest refused to do so."
"Do you know why?"
"...Are you afraid that I'll be proud?" Lu Yi said tentatively.
"That's right! They insisted that you are still young and having too high expectations on you is not conducive to your growth."
Lu Yi nodded in understanding and smiled, "Correct... But if that's the case, shouldn't you tell me the score, Principal?"
"No, no, no." The principal shook his head, "I think I'm pretty good at judging people."
"Perhaps you will feel proud after hearing this score, but I am more confident that you will quickly adjust back to normal."
"Principal, you overestimate me..." Lu Yi was quite amused.
"Hey, young people, I can understand your youthful vigor, after all, everyone has been through this!"
"Where was I just saying..."
"Oh, yes, Loris, isn't she the Word Spirit Mage that we also have high hopes for? Ever since her talent awakened, her Word Spirit power has been very stable. Even for mages who are one or two major stages higher than her, her Word Spirit will produce certain promises."
"However, when it comes to you at the same stage, her power of words is completely ineffective." The principal said in confusion.
"I went to talk to her about the situation afterwards. She said that her power of words sank immediately after it touched you."
The principal paused, as if he was organizing his words.
"Even if it is swallowed up, the owner of the magic power will feel it. But Loris said that her magic power is completely disconnected! It is not disappearing, nor is it swallowed up. Instead, it seems to have silently and unknowingly sunk into the deepest ocean..."
The principal looked at Lu Yi, as if he was exploring some possibility through him.
Lu Yi's expression was very confused, but his heart was silently lifted up.
Lu Yi had some guesses as to why the words had no effect on him.
The divine blood he swallowed made him the absolute nemesis of word magic.
But he couldn't explain this reason to the principal.
If he didn't tell me, I'm afraid the principal would never be able to figure it out even if he racked his brains.
"Do you have any idea about this matter, Lu Yi?"
The principal really couldn't understand why the power of words, which was always effective, suddenly became ineffective on Lu Yi.
If he could sense the circulation of magic power in Lu Yi's body, perhaps he would have some clues.
But the operation of magic is a very private matter, and exploring other people's magic is presumptuous and rude. After all, to use the simple and rough words of some mages, the intersection of magic is spiritual do//love.
Since the only method didn't work, the principal could only hope that Lu Yi himself might know something.
However, he was obviously going to be disappointed.
Looking at Lu Yi's confused expression, the principal knew that his question was probably in vain.
He could only ask unwillingly, "Is it really not some special magic equipment or rare magic stone of the Klein family?"
Lu Yi said helplessly: "Principal, I think you should know more about special equipment and rare magic stones than me."
The Klein family is simply rich, but when it comes to special equipment and rare magic stones, you still have to look to the Magic Association.
The Magic Association is the one that is truly at the forefront of this world's technology tree.
"Yes, yes, you are right..." the principal murmured.
He smiled bitterly, "This new topic is probably worth discussing, but fortunately, you are the only one who can ignore the power of words. The power of words is still very useful against other people."
Lu Yi nodded.
The power of words is indeed invincible. After all, how many people on this continent can swallow the blood of gods?
Since there was no result, the principal no longer discussed this topic. He handed Lu Yi a jade square plate.
Lu Yi took the square card and asked in confusion: "What is this...?"
"The orange skill scroll that Blessed promised you before." The principal glanced at Ares again, "Although it is not as valuable as the red skill scroll, the orange skills are very useful."
Besides, which mage would complain that he has too many skills?
"Take this square card to the professor guarding the Zero Building, and he will take you to the scroll room to choose."
"I see. Thank you, Principal."
The principal stood up, touched Lu Yi's head and said, "There's nothing to thank you for. This is what Braceside promised you."
"These are the only two things I want to tell you. I'll be leaving after that."
The principal glanced at Ares, who had an expressionless face, and said slowly, "If I don't leave now, someone will kill me with their eyes..."
"Kill us all, just kill us..."
He spoke slowly, but his steps were not slow at all, and he walked out of the room in a flash.
So only Lu Yi and Astor were left in this space.
The two of them sat on a sofa. No one spoke for a while, but the atmosphere was not awkward.
Lu Yi unexpectedly found this atmosphere particularly relaxed.
Astor looked at him and he looked at the sky outside the window.
For a moment he seemed to be back in the little church at Klein Hall.
It seemed that the person sitting next to him was no longer Astor, but the statue of the god of light in the chapel.
Lu Yi felt a sense of ease and freedom, as if he was alone.
This relaxing atmosphere made him relax unconsciously, and some words that he was originally hesitant to say came out naturally.
"Teacher, we have met before, right?"
"Which time are you referring to?" Ares smiled slightly.
"Was it the one who woke me up in the chapel, swallowed my blood in the baptismal font, or cut off my limbs in the abyss cave?"
"Well……"
After hearing his summary, Lu Yi began to feel embarrassed.
“…This was an accident.”
Ares looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, it's not an accident." Lu Yi deflated and said guiltily, "But I think these actions are all logical..."
He couldn't believe that no one had ever been curious about the eyes of the statue of light!
And it was clearly the tentacle that took the initiative to entangle him first. Is there anything wrong with him fighting back?
Thinking of this, Lu Yi began to feel justified again.
The azure blue eyes met the bottomless darkness.
Ares was the first to be defeated. He leaned back, slightly avoiding Lu Yi's eyes.
"I'm not blaming you."
Ares thought he was counting the warm moments between the two of them.
It seems that Lu Yi doesn't think so.
Only then did Lu Yi nod contentedly.
But he soon realized something was wrong and suddenly raised his head to look at Ares.
"Teacher, what did you just say?"
Wake him up in the chapel?
Lu Yi clearly remembered that he only looked into the eyes of the God of Light at that time, and did not look at any other gods.
What's more, there is no god representing war and murder enshrined in the chapel of Klein Manor.
How did he awaken Him?
Lu Yi looked straight at Ares, the desire for knowledge in his eyes clearly visible.
"How perceptive."
Regardless of anything, Ares praised Lu Yi first.
"You can ask me anything you want to know."
"Can you ask anything?" Lu Yi looked at him eagerly.
Ares nodded and said without hesitation: "Everything."
"Teacher, why are you in the statue?"
"This is a bet." Ares said briefly, "It's just some boring things. If you are interested, I will tell you later."
Lu Yi's Adam's apple rolled silently, and many shocking guesses emerged in his mind at this moment.
Each possibility is extremely horrifying.
How could a god enter the statue of another god?
If it were a god as similar as harvest and hope, then perhaps there would be some possibility.
But Ares is the god who represents war and murder!
How could he get into the statue of the God of Light?
unless--
Lu Yi asked softly.
"…Did the gods fall?"
——The God of Light is dead.
The statue became an empty shell.
This is the only possible explanation.
Ares looked at Lu Yi with approval.
He stretched out his hands and clapped gently, and the sound of his answer was extremely clear.
"yes."
The God of Light has fallen.
All of this has become a grand and funny joke.
The author has something to say:
The update may be late but it will come!! (Very loud)
