The former soul of the Northern Army, General Joshur, died, and the entire Triumph Fortress fell into deep mourning. After attending the funeral of General Joshur, the Royal Consolation Group took a train on its way back to the imperial capital.

In a separate compartment on the train, Agatha and Luke sat face to face. At this time, the train had left the Tedga Hills area, but the two never spoke.

After some time, Agatha said: "General Qiao Xiuer's suicide can be said to be the best outcome. If he is taken back to the imperial capital, given his status, no matter how he is tried, it will cause a lot of trouble."

.

I just don’t know what Xin Ke will think.”

Luke looked at the scenery outside the window with an extremely serious expression. After a long time, he laughed at himself and said: "I did this very dirty thing, which makes my heart difficult to calm down. I used to be an upright person.

Now there is increasingly no lower limit. Xin Kelai has been avoiding me these days, and he will definitely be able to figure out what role I played in it afterwards."

Agatha looked at Luke who was in pain, reached out and grabbed his hand in hers.

"I understand how you feel now, because sometimes I also fall into this kind of self-blame, and even hate myself. Do you want to hear me tell a story?"

"You said it, I'm listening."

Then Agatha told Luke a past incident she had done.

"Before taking over the Secret Intelligence Service, I had actually been secretly working for the Secret Service. Once I went on a mission, and the mission started very smoothly. I successfully stole the information. However, when I was evacuating, I was discovered and was being hunted.

, I was injured and captured soon after, but fortunately the information was passed on.

】

The young man who captured me recognized me and took it upon himself to release me. In exchange, I would protect his family as a princess.

I agreed, and even really asked my father for mercy for him and his family, but..."

Agatha stopped here.

Luke asked: "Your father did not agree."

Agatha nodded: "Not only did he not agree, he also asked me to personally send their family to the gallows. I still can't forget the way he looked at me at that time. He didn't speak, but it was like stabbing me with a sword again and again.

on the heart.

I was only fourteen years old at the time and didn't understand why my father did what he did.

Now I know that my father is right. Politics is a game with extremely low error tolerance, and excessive compassion will only make us die faster."

Luke smiled bitterly and said, "After hearing your experience, I feel a lot more comfortable."

Agatha smiled and said: "If you want to feel better, I have many more stories here. Most of the things the Secret Service does are disgraceful things. You will definitely not be bored along the way."

Agatha's palms were very warm, and Luke could feel her concern for him. The story she just told was definitely an indelible shadow in her heart, but in order to comfort herself, she recalled it again.

Luke pretended to be relaxed and said: "I'm not as fragile as you think, I just have some feelings for a moment.

Once Qiao Xiuer and those stubborn officers are dead, the problem of the Northern Army has been completely solved."

Agatha let go of Luke's hand and returned to the eldest princess's demeanor: "The solution was more perfect than we expected when we came. As soon as they died, Fania's remaining factions fell apart, and they waited for the announcement that Xin Ke would give up the right to inherit the throne.

When he goes out, no one will lean on him casually.

For a period of time in the future, the First Royal Sorcerer Corps will be a pure army.

But Qiao Xiuer’s death may arouse Xinke’s hatred towards us, so we still need to be careful about this.”

Luke's thoughts also turned to the current topic. He thought about it and said: "Qiao Shuer's suicide was not only to save Xinke, but also to inspire him and rekindle his desire to fight for the throne.

It's not a bad thing if he wants to compete, as long as it's within the rules we set, healthy competition is beneficial."

Agatha nodded: "If I have the chance, I will talk to Sink alone."

The train blew its whistle and raced forward on the tracks.

At this time, on the other side of the sea, the Emerald Forest Emerald Dream Academy.

Emerald Dream Academy is one of the oldest magic academies, and elves are also one of the first races to learn magic from the dragon clan.

This college is a castle-like building located on the top of a high mountain. The college is surrounded by almost vertical cliffs, with only a suspension bridge connecting another mountain with a slightly gentler slope.

Most of the tops of the academy buildings are in the onion shape, which is not only a feature of elven architecture. There are nests of flying creatures in the onion-shaped towers. Therefore, flying dragon eagles, griffons and pegasus can often be seen around the Emerald Dream Academy.

, they are all flying mounts tamed by elves.

An elf postman wearing green clothes and a green pointed hat rode a flying horse and landed in a garden. In the garden, an elf mentor was leading a group of students to learn about the influence of natural magic on plants.

"Miss Dai'er Molixiang, there is your letter. It was sent across the ocean from the Golden Shield Empire. It carries my hometown's longing for you."

The elf postman took out a few letters from his satchel and shouted to the busy students.

"I'm here." Dai'er stood up from a group of elves. She was wearing an elf leaf and feather hat, with a lot of dirt on her face, and her eyes were full of joy at receiving a reply.

Dai'er ran to the side of Pegasus, took the letter from the postman, and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Postman, for flying around in the air to bring everyone news from far away. I wish you good health and the wind will always be yours."

Where to go.”

Del thanked the postman like an elf.

The elf postman took out a harmonica and played a tune for Dai'er, and then said: "Miss Jasmine, you are the most elf-like human being I have ever seen. I wish you good health.

Goodbye, I am a postman flying around on a flying horse, and there are many people waiting for me to deliver my thoughts from far away to them."

The elf postman pulled the reins of the Pegasus, and the Pegasus neighed and spread its wings. Dai'er took out her magic wand and cast an updraft to help the Pegasus soar into the sky.

"Goodbye, harmonica-playing postman!"

Del waved to the sky. After the Pegasus flew away, she turned to the elf mentor and said: "Professor Macatina, can I take a leave for a while? My sister and someone very important to me wrote to me. I am now

Can't wait to see it.

I promise to make up for the missed classes and complete my homework carefully."

Professor Macatina is an elf with black-rimmed glasses. She looked at Del and couldn't help but smile: "Of course, my favorite jasmine, family and friendship always come first. You come alone.

Studying abroad in the Emerald Forest so far away, your family and friends must miss you very much.

Today's time is all yours, you can read the news from your hometown."

The elf classmates shouted: "Jasmine, who misses her hometown, hurry up and read the letter. We will help you take good care of the radishes you planted and won't let the rabbits hiding underground eat them."

"Thank you, Professor Macatina. Thank you, my good friends."

Dai'er took the letter and quickly ran back to the dormitory building of the Department of Natural Science of the college and got into her room.

There are seven letters.

Agatha, Luke, Sunny Sky, Jennifer Ni, Bruce Ban, Heidi Xiko, Lydia.

An Ye emerged from the brim of Dai'er's hat, staring back and forth at the letter with two small eyes.

"Princess Del, whose heart is beating fast, whose letter do you want to read first? Damn it, the Sheriff, he didn't even write a reply to me. Since he became the mount of the Queen of the Clear Sky, his tail has been raised higher and higher."

Dai'er picked up Jennifer's letter and raised it above her head: "The police chief's reply to you must be with Jennifer's letter. He is your good partner. You have teamed up to steal all over the imperial capital. He will not forget it."

your."

An Ye grabbed the envelope with both claws, bitten a row of tooth marks on the edge of the envelope with his teeth, and then tore the envelope open.

There are really two letters inside, one of which is written by the police chief to Dark Night.

An Ye happily grabbed the letter and jumped onto his little bed on the bedside table, lying down comfortably and reading the letter.

Del looked back at the letters on the table. Her hand touched Agatha's letter, but she turned around and picked up Luke's reply letter.

Opening the letter, Dai'er was quickly attracted by the content inside.

It turns out that the natural energy in the Emerald Forest comes from the Magic Spring, and Miss Qingkong once visited the Emerald Forest and found the Magic Spring.

Princess Dai'er, who majored in natural science at the Emerald Magic Academy, immediately became interested in the Magic Spring.

After reading Luke's reply, Del picked up Qingkong's reply again.

In the letter, Qingkong told about her experience of finding the magic spring in the Emerald Forest, and recommended some natural science books that contained clues to finding the magic spring.

After reading Qingkong's letter, Dai'er immediately got up and ran to the college library, borrowing all the books recommended by Qingkong.

Now she has a goal.

It is to find the magic spring and get the blessing of the elves like the clear sky.

Although I don’t know whether the Elf God will bless a human being, finding the magic spring itself is a very meaningful thing.

Of course, the Magic Spring cannot be found in a short time. After putting away the letters from Luke and Qingkong and the borrowed books, Dale picked up the letter written by Sister Agatha to herself.

At first, Dai'er still had a warm smile on her face, but as she watched, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"...Sister Dai'er, I know you also like him, so I have always suppressed my affection for him in my heart to prevent it from growing any more. But how can I suppress something like emotion? Especially when I think this

When it comes to serving the country, my heart sinks even more quickly.

Dai'er, I don't know how to face you.

sorry……"

After reading Agatha's letter to herself, Del suddenly felt empty in her heart, as if she had lost the most important thing. She regretted coming to Emerald Magic Academy.

But before coming to Emerald Magic Academy, I didn't know what my feelings for Luke were, and it wasn't until this moment of heartache that I realized it clearly.

Go back to the empire, go back to the empire, go back now.
To be continued...
