Chapter 15

Ed sat in the library tube, carefully examining the books in his hands.There are already a dozen thick books on his desk.

No, I have searched almost all the books about the Protoss, including some unfounded legends, but there is no information about the God of Harmony.Not a single word.

Playing with the ring in his hand, he remembered the conversation he had with the principal last night.

As the former student council president and current teaching assistant, Ed is no stranger to the principal's office.All he wanted to know now was what the principal wanted from him.

"It seems that you are very curious about Idakel." Victor made a pot of black tea, poured two cups, placed them on both sides of the coffee table, sat down on one side, and motioned Ed to sit on the other side .

Ed was obedient, but he didn't touch the tea in front of him.

"Don't worry, I didn't poison you." Victor laughed loudly, "I'm not going to poison a little guy."

Although he was not convinced, considering Victor's age, it is not an exaggeration to call him a little guy. I heard that the old man is over 300 years old, and Ed, who is only 40 years old, has to be convinced.I can only call him a bad old man in my heart.

Victor shook his head helplessly, took a sip of tea, and said, "I didn't expect him to give you all of that."

"...You mean this ring?" Ed took out the ring that Idakel gave him, but he really couldn't see anything special about it.

Victor saw Ed's entanglement and said, "Don't underestimate it, this is an artifact called 'tolerance'."

"Artifact!"

"This ring is an artifact given to Itaker by the God of Harmony. It can absorb almost all magical damage and curses, if you can use its true power."

"Almost?" Ed was keenly aware of the flaws in the principal's words.

"It can't defend against magic." The headmaster looked at Ed meaningfully, "Use it well and complete the tasks that Idakel entrusted to you, so that the little wish in your heart will have a chance to be fulfilled. "

damn old fox...

Ed cursed secretly.He never expected the purpose of being seen by others. Obviously, it is impossible for others to know.

"Ah, I finally found you."

Hearing the voice, Ed looked up, and it was Lacey and Rex, the two inseparable people.

"Well, I want to check something." Ed pointed to a pile of books on the table, "But I didn't find anything useful, not even a word."

"Really." Lacey pulled Rex to sit down, and then, seeing the ring, "Huh? When did you wear the ring too?"

"Uh..." To be honest, Ed doesn't like wearing rings, he always feels like he's being bound.In this era, everyone likes to go out with a storage ring, which is convenient, light, and beautiful. Only he has a space pocket on his waist. "I have to accept the gifts from others. I have to find a necklace to wear. By the way, why are you here?"

"Let's see if you're better. When you left yesterday, your complexion looked bad." Lacey smiled, "But you can come out to read now, and there are so many after reading, you should be fine. .”

"Well, I just felt unwell yesterday, it's not a big problem." Ed explained.

Lacey shrugged and looked at the books on the table, "What are you looking for? It's world history and geography."

After thinking about it, Ed decided to speak out. He had checked so many books, and he didn't expect them to know, and it wasn't a secret. "Do you know the God of Harmony?" As soon as the words fell, I saw Rex's eyebrows raised, and my heart was happy.Does he know?But he didn't expect that Lacey's words surprised him so much that he almost opened his mouth indecently.

"I know, the village I live in is the God of Harmony." Lacey smiled and pointed at herself, "My name is the name of the God of Harmony~"

Ed was a little overwhelmed by the sudden information.

It's so surprising. After searching all morning and finding nothing, I just found out about it from Lacey. Moreover, Rex didn't show any abnormality at all, which means he must know it too.It's just that this makes their origins even more mysterious.

At that time, I felt strange, but it didn't affect me much, so I didn't think much about it, but now...

"Actually, the pattern of the ring on your hand is the mark of the God of Harmony." Lacey pointed to the quaint ring.

"Do you know anything else?" Ed was eager.

"I don't know about the others. I only know that the teaching of the God of Harmony is to maintain the balance of the world." Lacey shook his head, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Ed was at a loss for words for a while, he didn't know what to say, so he had to look for reasons everywhere. "Uh, it's nothing, it's just, uh...I didn't feel well last night, so I went to the teacher for help, and the teacher suddenly brought it up during the chat, and I thought it was quite interesting..." The reason was that Ed didn't believe it himself. Smiling competently, he tried to change the subject, "It's not important, how about Lucia, who just took over, it should be very troublesome, right?"

Lacey looked at Ed suspiciously, and didn't pay much attention to his changing the subject, and then he said, "Yeah, but it's okay, the nobles of Enbit are still very loyal, and there is Lean, he Now it is very powerful, in various aspects. However, it is too easy to be soft-hearted, and it still needs to be changed." Lacey's face is full of resentment.

"Hehe~" Ed smiled. Most people in the light camp are soft-hearted, which is normal.He raised his eyes and glanced at Rex, and decided that it was better not to take the initiative to talk to him. This person was equally indifferent to everyone other than Lacey. "Having said that, it will be April soon, where are you going to do the trial this year?"

Trials are a rule that every Mowu academy has, but there are slight differences between the schools.

According to the rules of Casamedin Academy, after a student reaches the fourth grade and becomes a third-level junior magician or third-level junior knight, he must go out for a trial. He can complete it alone or in a team. Anyway, he must go, otherwise, You will not be able to take the upgrade exam.

The trial usually starts in April of each year. Students can apply to the teacher in charge of the trial by themselves. They can make their own trial tasks or choose from the tasks provided by the school.The trial tasks that you make yourself need to be evaluated by the teacher. If the task is too simple, you will not agree to it, and if it is too difficult, you will be blocked. After all, the purpose of the trial is to exercise your ability, not to go die.The school's tasks are all provided by the mercenary guild, that is to say, they are paid.

"Hmm... haven't decided yet." Lacey thought for a while, then shook her head, "I don't have any plans yet."

"Then would you like to go with me to find the ruins of the ancient temple?" Ed invited, "The ruins may be dangerous, but be careful, there shouldn't be too many problems, and we are mainly looking for them."

"It seems like a good idea." Lacey looked at Rex who was flipping through the books, "Rayle, what do you think?"

"I have no objection." Rex nodded. "However, you can ask Rhea and Lumer to see if they are interested. In terms of the ruins of the ancient temple, they may be able to get some information that we don't have."

"Then it's settled~"

Ai De wanted to apply for the teacher in charge of the trial, a total of 5 people formed a team, and left the school after getting ready.

Their first stop was the Adventurer's Guild in Spear City, because they needed a hunter to help them.If you can't find it, you can only go to the mercenary union to hire one.

There are always many people in the Adventurer's Guild, but today there are abnormally many people.

Once inside, they knew what was going on.

an elf.

A pure-blooded high elf.

"Wang... uh, Your Excellency Rex." Roser took the initiative to walk in front of the five-member team, "Please let me join you, my investigative ability is definitely much stronger than that of hunters."

The start and stop are much stronger, elves, or pure blood...

Ed couldn't help but slander in his heart.It's just that he actually used honorific words to Rex, this is really... It seems that my guess is correct, Rex may really be His Royal Highness the second prince of the elves who has been missing for 20 years.

Rex silently looked at the others, seeing that they had no objections, he agreed.

"Great, when are we going to leave? I've already prepared everything that needs to be prepared, and it won't waste your time~" Roser was so happy that he even spoke with glee.

"Let's get out of here first." Looking at the probing eyes of the people around him, Ed couldn't hold on anymore.

The captain had spoken, and the team of six people left the mercenary guild directly.

"Lacey, who is that elf?" Lumer couldn't help it.That elf is really annoying, it has been pestering Rex, circling and circling around Rex, it's so annoying.

"It looks pretty cool." Rhea raised her eyebrows sarcastically.

"Anyway, it saved a lot of money. But elves have always avoided the world and hate humans extremely. It's rare to pester a 'human' like this." Ed looked at Lacey with deep meaning.

"Hey?" Lacey said in surprise, "I thought you all knew that Leier is the second prince of the elves, and it's normal to be entangled by the elves. This elf came to Leier two days ago, it seems to be related It's okay?" In fact, Lacey wasn't sure if they had a good relationship.

"..." Well, I struggled for so long in vain.Ed's mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Ahem..." Lumer and Rhea looked aside in embarrassment.In fact, they all knew that one was the second son of the Grand Duke Campbell who was in charge of intelligence, and the other was the apprentice of the High Priest of the Flame Temple. It would be strange not to know.

"Let's go, with the elves joining us, maybe our trial will be smoother. After all, their lives are so long, and they must know a lot of things that we don't." After finishing speaking, Lacey caught up with Rex and stood side by side with him walk together.Although Roser was very dissatisfied, there was no way to disobey the decision of His Highness the Prince.However, there must be a way to separate them in the future, and then bring the prince back to Falan.I remember that there is an ancient temple near Falan, and it is better to take them there, or bring the prince back nearby.

"I heard that you seem to be planning to find ancient temples and conduct trials. I just happened to know that there is one, not too far away, in the easternmost city of Belem in the Eastern Continent."

Lacey's body trembled, and Rex held his hand, silently comforting.

"...Are you sure you are right?" Ed frowned and said with an unnatural smile.

"That's right, it's the city of Belem that was suddenly destroyed 15 years ago." Rossell noticed that their expressions were a little strange, but he still said affirmatively.

"... Lacey..." Several people looked over carefully, and saw that Lacey was the same as usual, still smiling like that, and even nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's go there, and we can add one more task, Investigate the truth 15 years ago, what do you think~"

Is it really okay?Lacey's village is near the city of Belem. As far as they know, after the destruction of the city of Belem and his village, he still lived there. In the past 15 years, many people have been there to investigate, and there is no trace of inhabitation at all, but there are people from nearby cities. I said that occasionally I would see the once-rich city like a vision.They really want to know the inside story, but won't this embarrass Lacey?Even though he said so himself...

"Then go there." Seeing that Lacey didn't mean to change his mind, Rex also agreed with this opinion, and then said, "You guys should prepare more protective items of the light system."

"……Understood."
