Yesterday's changes were not only caused by Mermaid Song, the entire Pelican Town has still not recovered from this shock.

Ai Luo walked towards Swan Castle with Suta and Coco. Along the way, the townspeople who were originally smiling were now whispering to each other and talking about each other. It was as if the smile had completely disappeared and was no longer there.

appeared on people's faces. Perhaps it was because of yesterday's incident, even the flower fairies no longer appeared in the town.

Everyone looked to the north with worry and prayed to the God of Light not to abandon them.

Leaving Pelican Town, headed to Swan Castle. After knocking on the door of the castle, the servant led the three people from Mermaid Song to the top of the castle.

It was still the familiar living room, but this time, it was Viscount Rich who seemed to have been prepared for it, sitting in it with a worried look on his face.

"Ah, President Arrow! That's great. I was thinking that you would come over in the next two days, but I didn't expect that you would come the next day!"

Viscount Rich's face didn't look good. It was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night.

Ai Luo sat down opposite the Viscount, looked at the obese man's haggard face, and said, "Your Excellency, Viscount Rich, you look in very bad spirits."

"It's terrible? It's more than terrible! I have a headache right now! President Arrow, tell me honestly, was the big commotion last night related to that guy Capone?! What about the others? Now is he again?

Where have you gone?!"

"he died."

Arrow gave this reply calmly.

Before Viscount Rich came back to his senses, he continued -

"In other words, it's no different from death. He dedicated his body and soul to some kind of... possibly very terrible existence. I don't know how much willpower he has left now, and I don't know his

Has the body been digested? But there is no doubt that he will no longer appear in front of us in the familiar way."

Viscount Rich smacked his lips. After a moment of silence, he shook his head gently and said with some annoyance: "I knew... I knew that guy would go to destruction sooner or later... He has been a prince since he was a child.

A very focused person! Once he decides on something, he becomes very persistent... Damn it, he's dead... So what about that child of tiramisu?"

Ai Luo did not answer directly. Suta and Coco behind him also turned their gazes with slightly sad expressions.

Seeing Mermaid Song showing such emotions, Viscount Rich naturally knew the answer. There was obviously a sigh of relief on his face, but for a moment he didn't know how to vent it. After a long time, this

The famous Viscount slumped on the sofa like a ball of rotten meat, looking up at the ceiling, not knowing what to say.

However, Ai Luo did not have that much time to be sentimental. After waiting for almost a minute, he spoke again: "Viscount Rich, did the master and apprentice give you any explanation before they left you?"

Viscount Rich still had his mouth half open, like a goldfish blowing bubbles. After a while, he came back to his senses, nodded slightly and said: "Explain? Hmm... Do you have an explanation? Wait... ah...

, I remembered it, it seems there is!"

Ai Luo exhaled and said, "What was that explanation? Did he say what should be done next?"

Viscount Rich sat up from the sofa and said, "Yes, yes! Although it was not a specific instruction, he did tell me that if he suddenly disappeared one day, then the tiramisu kid would come and find me.

If he says so, let me open his room and let the child go in and find something by himself."

Without further ado, Arrow immediately asked to observe the magic swordsman's room. Reach, who had already lost his master, nodded and asked his servant to bring Mas Capone's room key, and the group hurried to their destination.

.

Pushing open the door, this is a very simple-looking guest room.

Unlike other rooms with beautifully decorated wooden panels, this room has walls entirely made of stone, giving it a very depressing ascetic feel. Asked about Rich, the viscount said it was Capone.

Actively requested.

The decoration in the room is very simple, just a bed, a table, and a pile of books stacked like a mountain next to the table.

Compared with the clean and tidy bed, this table seems very messy. It is covered with various manuscript papers, but after a quick look at it, I don't know what is written on it.

Viscount Rich looked around, but didn't see anything for a while, and asked: "President Arrow, what do you think...will Capone dig a hole for me? He just injured the royal family not long ago.

People from the Magicians Association, those two magicians will go back and mobilize the manpower, it’s almost there, right? If he just runs away at this time, does he really leave such a mess for me to clean up? "

Ailuoke was not in the mood to pay attention to the viscount's worries. He, Suta, and Coco continued to search in every corner of the room. After searching like this for almost ten minutes, Coco bent down and lay under the bed.

The moment she lifted the sheets, she immediately screamed——

"Brother, President! Here! Here, here!"

Ai Luo quickly put down the "A Brief Study of Ancient Gods" in his hand and rushed to the bed. He saw Coco getting under the bed, and after dawdling for a long time, she crawled out with a slightly heavy package in her arms, and took a picture

He patted the dust on it and lifted it up with a smile.

"That should be it."

Coco put the package on the table next to him and opened it. The first thing that caught his eye was a lacquered letter. He picked up the letter and found a stack of lists of various properties and funds at the bottom. At the bottom was a book of records.

After flipping through the carefully decorated manuscript, Airl felt that he didn't understand much, so he simply closed it and stopped reading.

"This is the paint seal of the Capone family!" Viscount Rich pointed to the paint mark on the envelope and shouted, "But why was this letter opened?"

Ai Luo picked up the envelope and inspected it again and again. Indeed, the lacquer seal had been torn off. But the letter paper inside was still intact. After thinking about it, he took out the letter.

"To my dearest student, Tiramisu. It looks like this is Capone's letter to Tiramisu."

Ai Luo muttered, then continued to read——

"When you read this letter, I guess I have already returned to the embrace of the God of Light. But please don't feel any sadness because of my death. I don't want to see your uncomfortable expression. In that case,

I will also fall into sadness."

After reading the first sentence, Ai Luo frowned slightly, put down the letter again and looked at the opened and varnished letter in his hand, then turned his head with doubts and looked at Viscount Rich next to him.

Viscount Rich quickly waved his hand and said nervously: "No, no, no, don't look at me! I didn't open it! Bastard, some servant must be cheap to open this letter. I'll clean it up later."

them!"

Coco stood on tiptoe and looked at the letter, and then said to Viscount Rich, "You should check it carefully. The ink is spent on some parts of this letter, and it got wet when you were cleaning it."

Alright?"

Ai Luo sighed and could only put this matter aside first and read out the letter completely...

————

To my dearest student, tiramisu:

When you read this letter, I guess I have already returned to the embrace of the God of Light. But please don’t feel any sadness because of my death. I don’t want to see your uncomfortable expression. In that case, I

You will also fall into sadness.

Don't feel sad because of my death, and don't blame anyone for my death. Because this is my willing choice. Don't blame yourself. Although you usually seem very indifferent, I, the master, know that,

You are a child with more delicate emotions than anyone else.

After my death, all my properties will belong to you. I have made a list of all my properties, which are placed throughout the Blue Bay Empire, and there are still people in some places helping me run them. From now on,

You will be the owner of these properties. I cannot give you a stable and peaceful life in the first half of your life, but I hope that after my death, you can live a happy life.

Ah, what else do I want to say to you? I always feel like there are so many things I want to say, but I actually can’t figure them out.

Let me think about it, let me recall ten years ago.

Ten years ago, I rescued you from a mass grave.

At that time, you seemed very scared, aggrieved, and crying. All your family and friends were dead...

Yes, he was killed by bandits. This secret has been hidden in my heart for a long time, but now, I can finally tell you the truth——

Those robbers who ruined your family...actually, they were me.

I don’t want to explain my reasons for killing your family now. I didn’t even have that much compassion at the time. I was following the orders of the church and the will of the God of Light, but none of this can change me.

A crime committed against you and your family.

So, when I pulled you out of that mass grave and saw the blood on your face and body, actually... I was so scared at that time.

When I saw you crying in front of me, and when I saw you, a child who was supposed to have a beautiful life, seemed so powerless because of my fault, at that time, I felt that something in my heart had finally been touched.

Tiramisu, I'm not asking for your forgiveness.

In the past ten years, I, a sanctimonious hypocrite, have allowed you to call me "master" after having been my enemy for ten years. In fact, I have long lost the qualification to ask for your forgiveness.

It was also from that time on that I made up my mind to take good care of you. Even if it consumes my own life, I will let you live a relaxed and happy life without sorrow or worry.

I really think so... I once thought that I could fight for you my whole life for this idea.

Until... you are diagnosed with this terrible disease.

Tiramisu, I don’t want to explain to you how much effort I have made for your illness, and how much work I have gone through. Those things are insignificant to what I owe you. I just think that I

After hearing the news from those magicians that you might not live to adulthood, I felt like my heart was going to be broken.

I hope you can be rescued, and for this I can pay any price and do anything. This is my belief. Isn’t it just a little bit of belief that people live for?

How many years have passed... As your condition becomes more serious and I see you getting weaker day by day, I really feel guilty for my own powerlessness.

If I hadn't done such a terrible thing to your family back then, would there be other ways for your family to save you?

If I wasn't a rigid Templar back then, could there be more ways for me to help you?

Haha, now that I think about it, this kind of thing actually has no meaning anymore.

Because you survived.

Your disease is cured.
