Gone
It was another ordinary day of being tortured by Leopold's rote learning. Elena left the class with a blank look in her eyes, ate, and returned to her bedroom.
So tiring, it’s really hard for her.
Elena was so frustrated that she wanted to cry.
No, this can't go on any longer.
Elena, who didn't want to study, let out an angry cry.
Something must be done!
Elena decided to teach Leopold a lesson and let him know that he was not to be bullied. He could no longer attend 10 hours of classes a day. He had to reduce it by half. Well, if reducing it by half was not possible, then reducing it by 2 hours would be fine.
In short, we must resist and let Leopold know our attitude.
Elena walked to the desk and sat down, opened the drawer and took out a piece of white paper, then pulled out the feather pen she used most frequently from the pen holder.
Suddenly, the fingertips were electrocuted, but the shock disappeared in an instant.
Elena didn't take it seriously. It was winter, the weather was dry and there was electricity everywhere. Not to mention holding a feather pen, even touching a wet towel could cause an electric shock. It was normal to be hit by static electricity occasionally.
Elena took out her quill, opened the ink box, dipped it in ink, and began to draw the cursed doll on the white paper.
She wanted to bring bad luck to Leopold, but she couldn't let him be too unlucky. Leopold's level was too high, he was a great wizard. It was not easy for her to curse him with her current level as a low-level wizard. If the power of the spell was a little stronger, it would trigger his spiritual sense and give a warning. Then she would be the one who would be in big trouble.
So she only dared to draw the cursed doll, the power range of which was easier to control. She could carefully arrange the arrangement and combination of magic symbols to give Leopold a little trick of fate and make him suffer a little bad luck.
Wait until he is unlucky for the whole day, then she will reveal a little bit to him... hehehe, looking forward to his reaction.
Elena happily immersed herself in drawing.
When she was completely unaware, the quill in her hand flashed a faint light.
Rhode Island.
Night falls.
Leonard is facing off against Cardinal Aubrey of the Church of the Night's Tranquility.
After the first fight.
"You were promoted." Cardinal Aubrey looked at Leonard in surprise.
However, in just one day, Leonard, who had suffered a heavy blow from him last night, was promoted from Golden Knight to Epic Knight and joined the ranks of Demigod.
What exactly happened during this day and night?
And why didn’t it trigger any vision?
Being promoted to a demigod would definitely trigger strange phenomena, so why didn't he have any?
Leonard smiled: "I just got promoted. I'm lucky."
Aubrey retracted his attacking stance.
Demigod is a very special realm threshold. After crossing this threshold, the promoted person will undergo a qualitative change. After touching the laws of the world, the promoted person will gain significant improvement in many aspects, and even gain special abilities.
When facing the unknown, we need to be cautious and vigilant.
Taking on new opponents requires taking big risks.
What's more, Leonard is a knight demigod. Among the existing demigods, there is only one knight demigod, and the others are all mage demigods. There is only one target for reference, and the information that can be learned is too little.
There is a serious lack of information.
Out of practical considerations, Aubrey decided not to fight Leonard to the death.
Aubrey's expression quickly softened, and his tone became gentle. "Leonard, since you have successfully ascended to demigod status, as your senior, I am happy for you and congratulate you."
Leonard also lowered the sword in his hand: "Thank you, Archbishop."
"I think we shouldn't waste our fighting power in this pointless confrontation. We can put aside the confrontation and work together to find the sensitive object first, and then we can discuss other things." Aubrey smiled, skipping over the previous battle and directly entering the peace talks. "What do you think, Leonard?"
Leonard nodded: "Your Excellency the Archbishop is right. I am willing to follow your advice."
Aubrey's smile widened.
After forming a temporary alliance, Aubrey took out an item from the space ring. The item was a small branch, dark brown almost black in color, and its shape was particularly like a baby's palm. It gave a weird feeling when viewed from a distance.
Aubrey held the small branch in one hand and silently chanted a spell. The small branch floated up out of thin air and began to spin swayingly.
The twig kept spinning and spinning for a long time without stopping.
Aubrey's expression became increasingly serious; this result was completely beyond his expectations.
Aubrey looked at Leonard.
Leonard also took out the search artifact, a metal beetle, given to him by his employer for this mission, Archbishop Colin of the Church of the Lord of Light.
The beetle crawled to the left, then to the right, on Leonard's palm, and finally began to spin in circles.
Leonard looked at Aubrey.
Both of them had their brows furrowed tightly.
"That's not right. Wasn't that thing nearby before?" Leonard spoke first.
Aubrey nodded. "Yes, I've measured its location twice. It's right around here."
"Then why isn't he here now?" Leonard wondered. "Could he have been scared away by our fight last night?"
"It ran out of our search range in such a short time. Is it really that active?" Aubrey asked.
The target to be captured this time is not a living thing, but a sensitive thing with activity.
Sensitive objects mean that they are active but not alive. Although this sounds a bit strange and awkward, it actually has such a peculiar property. If I have to describe it, it is similar to the laboratory cultures in Elena's original world, such as the heart beating in the instrument, or the ears cultivated in the instrument. They have a certain degree of activity, but cannot be considered living things.
So, by analogy, how can such a sensitive thing that is active but not alive run so fast? ? ?
This is too weird.
Aubrey and Leonard, puzzled, simply stayed here and waited for people from another church, the Church of the Radiant Life, to arrive.
After waiting for a while, Ulysses, the cardinal of the Church of the Radiance of Life, finally arrived. He was also a demigod.
"You are still here." Ulysses is a cheerful middle-aged man. Every wrinkle on his face is kind and open-minded, making people feel close to him when they see him.
Ulysses's gaze fell on Leonard. He looked him over several times and said with a smile, "It seems we have gained a new partner. Such a young demigod, is he the youngest demigod in history? Congratulations, Leonard."
Leonard bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Archbishop."
Aubrey waited until Ulysses and Leonard had exchanged pleasantries before speaking: "Why are you here so late? Did you discover something?"
The Church of the Radiance of Life, as the name suggests, believes in the God of Life, and the God of Life naturally governs the realm of life. Although the sensitive objects they want to capture are not living organisms, things that have activity can barely be considered within the realm of life. The Church of the Radiance of Life is unique in searching for sensitive objects.
However, this time, the Life Light Church, which should have arrived the earliest, arrived the latest. Isn't this very strange?
Ulysses chuckled and nodded. "Yes, I did another search before setting off. I found that the sensitive object had disappeared, so I immediately performed divination."
Divination!
Aubrey spoke first: "What did you divine?"
Ulysses said: "The floating light collides with the unknown woman, the two lines are entangled, and the fate is unpredictable."
After this divination word was spoken, Aubrey and Leonard fell silent.
Lennart was a knight, skilled in attack and defense, but he knew nothing about divination. The divination words were too strange, so he could only choose to remain silent.
Aubrey was truly lost in thought.
Aubrey is the Cardinal of the Church of the Night's Tranquility. Divination of fate is one of the mage's specialties. As a Cardinal and the next Pope, Aubrey naturally has in-depth research and rich application experience in divination.
The floating light hits the unknown girl. The floating light should refer to a sensitive object. Who is the unknown girl?
Aubrey began to mentally sort through all the women who might be able to take his sensitive object.
However, after looking and searching for a long time, he still couldn't find a possible woman.
Anyone who can subdue sensitive creatures must be strong enough at least. Even with spiritual weapons, they must reach a certain level before they can subdue sensitive creatures. However, in the entire continent, those who can be called strong are all men.
Unknown woman, female?
How is this possible?
The sensitive object they were looking for disappeared out of thin air, and there was a divination saying that fate was unpredictable. The three of them knew that the matter could only come to an end temporarily, so they exchanged a few words and left.
When the two archbishops left, they were still pondering the two divination words, trying to sort out the logic and find one or two directions for reasoning. Only Leonard didn't think about anything after he left. He first checked his personal belongings.
This has always been his habit. He would check his belongings before and after battles to see what items needed to be replenished. He would also review the battle process while cleaning to accumulate experience for himself.
Leonard was halfway through counting when he saw one of the scrolls and his heart skipped a beat.
This is a teleportation scroll, exactly the same as the one he used to teleport back before. The positioning points are both on Elena. He only made two such teleportation scrolls, and this one is the last one.
However, there was a crack in the middle of this teleportation scroll.
This shouldn't happen.
It is impossible for anyone to destroy his scroll silently. Moreover, this scroll is specially made and will be activated once touched. It is impossible for there to be a crack without destroying the scroll.
Leonard's hand brushed across the crack.
Could it be that a sensitive creature took the opportunity to escape?
He exerted force with his hands and suddenly tore the scroll open.
The space black hole reappeared, and the next moment Leonard appeared in Elena's bedroom again.
Leonard: It still works! Is the teleportation scroll really intact?
Elena, who had just finished making the cursed doll and was lying on the bed: ...
"Do you still remember the chivalric code? Respected epic knight." Elena gave a fake smile, but her hands were tightly holding the quilt on her body.
Leonard: !!!
"This was an emergency. I won't do it again next time." Leonard dared not admit that he had fought so hard that he forgot the time and then made the principled mistake of breaking into a lady's bedroom late at night.
Elena sneered, "There's going to be a next time? How many scrolls have you made to teleport to me?"
Leonard opened his mouth, but finally decided to change the subject: "I came back to ask if you were doing anything special just now?"
What special thing? Of course, she just made a cursed doll to use against her friend Leopold.
But how could I tell him such words?
Elena denied coldly: "No."
Leonard touched his nose and asked again, "So, did anything different happen? Or, in other words, did you have any spiritual touch?"
???
This is a strange question.
Elena was confused. What exactly did Leonard want to ask?
After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Does being hit by static electricity count?" In this world, there is also the concept of being hit by static electricity. After all, it is a common occurrence in life.
Of course not, it's nothing special in winter.
"Isn't your spiritual sense touched?" Leonard asked again without giving up.
Elena shook her head: "No."
After getting a negative answer again, Leonard still refused to believe it and simply searched the bedroom by himself. He walked slowly and looked slowly. If he encountered a suspicious object, he would extend his spiritual perception line to touch it.
Elena stared in amazement at Leonard's search-like movements in her bedroom.
"What are you doing?" Elena believed that Leonard had no bad intentions, but she really didn't understand.
Leonard raised his index finger to his lips and shushed softly.
Elena: ...
After searching the bedroom for a while and not finding what he was looking for, Leonard had to give up in disappointment.
"What are you looking for?" Elena asked again.
Leonard sat down on the floor: "My mission may fail."
"Why? What happened?" Elena asked immediately.
"I was hired to find something, but it vanished and I can't find it. The divination said fate is unpredictable." Leonard shrugged. "So I can't complete my mission. This means I've failed."
So that's how it is. Elena sat up, crossed her legs, and held her chin with one hand: "The mission failed, do I have to pay compensation?"
Leonard shook his head. "No need to pay, but I'll go look again tomorrow to see if I can find anything good there to compensate you. After all, the deposit I received was very high. Although I said beforehand that it wouldn't be refunded even if the mission wasn't successful, I still have to do something with the money I received."
Elena nodded in agreement: "Your business reputation is really good."
"Of course." Speaking of his business reputation, Leonard was somewhat complacent. "Although my price is high, my character and ability are worth it. I will never let my employer suffer any loss."
Elena gave a thumbs up: "Great."
Such good character is worthy of recognition. Who doesn't want his partner to be a person with good reputation?
Leonard smiled. Since he didn't find what he was looking for here, it was not suitable for him to stay any longer.
"Okay, it's late, go to sleep, I'm leaving."
Elena waved her hand: "Good night."
"Good night." As soon as the words fell, Leonard disappeared.
Elena was alone in the bedroom.
Elena looked around her bedroom and cast a few detection spells out of concern, but the results were all normal and there was no problem.
She frowned, thinking that she might be being overly nervous. After all, even Leonard couldn't find any problems during the examination.
So she pulled up the quilt and lay down with peace of mind.
Go to sleep, I have to go to school tomorrow.
