Chapter 172 Conversation between Nancy and Ulysses

Ulysses' anxious mood was soothed by Nancy. He let go of Nancy, took a step back, covered his forehead and murmured: "I'm sorry, I'm a little... not right."

Nancy looked at his appearance and knew that he was afraid of something. Although she didn't know why he left so many people he knew and chose her to seek comfort, but after all, we all grew up together.

It's not like she couldn't listen to what Yuri was worried about.

"If you don't mind, I want to change my clothes." Nancy pulled on her sweat-stained clothes and said rather embarrassedly. She had just been training and was naturally covered in sweat. Ulysses was actually

Although some mysophobia is not insurmountable at critical moments, under normal circumstances, Ulysses is quite particular. I don't know what exactly he did just now, but he just leaned over so directly.

Ulysses glanced at Nancy's clothes and thought that there was really no rush. He nodded, pointed to a room and said to her: "I'll wait for you there."

Nancy moved very quickly. She quickly washed herself and changed into dry clothes to come to him.

She was wearing old clothes that were specially kept at the training ground. Although they were not considered shabby, it could be seen that they had been washed many times and worn repeatedly. Such clothes could not be worn in aristocratic etiquette. Nancy herself

She thought Ulysses had seen her and wanted to say something to her, but Ulysses turned a blind eye to her dress and only raised his finger at her to signal her to sit over.

So Nancy sat down opposite Ulysses. After sitting down, Ulysses pushed a cup of cold tea towards her.

Of course Ulysses was considerate when dealing with women, otherwise he would not be able to seduce so many girls just by relying on his good looks. However, Nancy has never been included in his considerate objects in the past.

Nancy didn't think much about it. She drank the tea in one gulp and felt comfortable all over. She raised her eyes and looked at Ulysses: "Tell me, what happened."

Now that Ulysses calmed down, he certainly would not choose to solve the problem by conflicting with Nancy. He first handed the report to Nancy: "You take a look at this first."

Nancy looked at the thick pile of documents with a confused expression on her face: "What is this?"

For Nancy, she really didn't have the patience to read through so many words. She raised her hands and surrendered: "Spare me, just tell me what it is."

"It's a research report. The report says that if you are treated too much by healing magic, your lifespan will be shortened. The more serious the treatment, the more serious the damage will be." Ulysses stared directly at Nancy, observing her face.

Every reaction was just waiting for her to show timidity and fear.

But Nancy didn't. She just hesitated for a while and asked blankly: "Really?"

"Yes," Ulysses thought she just didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and said with a slightly stronger tone, "seriously, it may shorten the life to ten years."

"Ten years..." Nancy sighed in a low voice, "That's so few years."

Ulysses' eyes lit up when he heard this, and he leaned forward slightly and asked eagerly: "What do you think?"

What she was thinking, of course Nancy didn't think about anything. Using her brain was never something she was good at, so she just said "Oh" lightly.

She didn't respond, and Ulysses was a little disappointed, but he also knew that this was Nancy's normal reaction. She had always been a straight-thinking person who didn't say anything. It was obvious that she didn't expect it.

Therefore, he did not feel disappointed and just smiled slightly: "I want you to check your body and see how much your body has been overdrawn by the healing magic in these years."

"Is it just me?" Nancy asked, "or the whole Order?"

Ulysses replied: "For my own selfish reasons, of course I just want you to check it alone first. The knights have to go through the procedures, which is not that fast."

Nancy nodded, not caring: "Then you can arrange it."

"Nancy..." Ulysses looked at her and hesitated, "If your body is really damaged, then..."

"No," Nancy interrupted him, "I know my health well. The seniors of the Knights also came here and lived safely until retirement."

But even so, the average lifespan of nobles is still lower than that of pharmacists, and the lifespan of knights in the Knights is even lower, with most of them less than seventy years old.

"But the war will start at any time." Ulysses said solemnly.

Nancy raised her eyes sharply: 'What do you mean?'

"We were ambushed in the woods, and it was the people from the south who did it," Ulysses explained. "The demons must have a plan to rescue those people, and they will definitely use those people's role within two years.

"

Within two years... Nan Xiang looked at the sky outside the window and was lost in thought. The war has not started for many years, but now it is right in front of her?

"If people from the south take action, the demons will definitely attack together," Nancy had heard and heard it in the aristocratic circle, not to mention she was very keen on things like "war". She wanted to understand it as soon as Ulysses started.

, "My brother has been transferred to the border to guard against the demons. Once the south takes action, my father will definitely suppress it himself."

Her analysis was accurate. Ulysses knew that this was what the royal family planned. Although the Knights were known as the sword and shield of the royal family, the sword had never been unsheathed and the shield had never resisted damage. The sword needed to be sharpened.

, the shield needs to be polished, war is the best whetstone, and Sainz will hone an elite force in the war.

However, Nancy should not be included in this elite division.

Even if Nancy's eyes sparkled when she talked about these things, he would not let her go to the battlefield.

Even though another soul was screaming to rush out, he was no longer the weak soul that could only be suppressed more than ten years ago. He endured the pain and pushed "Ulysses" back.

"Nancy, I just want to see you live unscathed for the rest of your life," Ulysses said in a voice hoarse from the suppression of his soul, "without getting hurt, without suffering, without getting tired."

But...why don't you understand?

"Look at what you said," Nancy smiled heartily, "How can a person survive unscathed? He may fall while walking, his throat may be cut by a fish bone while eating, and his fingers may be cut by the pages of a book even when he is reading."

People living in this world are faced with various accidents every moment. Some people will choke to death even if they drink water, let alone other accidents that are difficult to prevent.

When an accident comes, accept it, deal with it, and change it.

It's not that Ulysses doesn't understand these principles, but he has become obsessed with it. He just wants to lock Nancy up and lock her up, isolate all dangers, and exclude everyone from Nancy's world.
