"..."

Staring at the girl who was leaning against the railing with her eyes in trance, wearing a dark purple teacher's uniform, with a delicate appearance and short dark green hair, Luke Tefilo, who should be on the other side of the continent at this time, slightly raised the corner of his mouth. After a while, he raised his hand with a smile and said hello: "Hey, long time no see."

"ah!"

The intern lecturer of the Necromancer Department of Naxxramas Comprehensive College, the high-level Necromancer Elephis Sulk, who had just turned nineteen this year, let out a soft cry, and then turned his head sharply to look at the person who had appeared at an unknown time. The boy next to him was stunned for several seconds before he grinned with a red face and said, "Long time no see, Luke. Although I write letters every month, the words are still different from the real person."

"Have it?"

Having been kicked out of the Battle Sisters for more than two years, and not long after his sixteenth birthday, Luke Tefero, who is currently serving as a chaplain in the Knights Templar of the Dawn Sect, shrugged and joked: "I I think it’s almost the same, after all, I look good and my handwriting is also good, so there shouldn’t be much difference between reading a letter and reading a person.”

Ellipis was as white as Tiphilo, and said angrily: "We all know that it is a fact that you are good-looking, but can you let others say such things in the future?"

"You've said it's the truth, so it doesn't make any difference who says it."

Luke blinked, then walked slowly to Elphis and gave the latter a firm hug: "I'm so glad to see you again, Effie."

"!"

The genius graduate of Naxxramas Comprehensive Academy was slightly shaken, then narrowed his eyes and patted the boy's back gently: "...You have worked hard these past few years, Luke."

"Stop making trouble, even you have been called a genius, so what can you do to make me suffer?"

Tifilo said cheerfully, and then let go of Ellipis, smiling: "Okay, so this is the end of the long-awaited hug. If I remember correctly, Ms. Sulk He is very popular among students and many young teachers. If someone accidentally sees him... Tsk tsk, it shouldn't matter to you, but my reputation will be ruined in one day."

Ellipis glared at Tyfilo fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "Why are you still not cute at all, little brat?"

"Because cuteness is no longer popular at this age."

Tifilo said casually, and then leaned lazily on the railing and yawned: "Huh~ By the way, how does it feel to be a teacher? Is your work going well? Is there any blind kid looking for you? It’s troublesome.”

"All in all, it's not bad."

Slowly walking to Tifilo, Elephis also leaned sideways on the railing: "As for work, I was a little busy at first, but with the help of several mentors, I didn't cause any trouble, and now I'm on the right track. Well, as for the blind little devil who causes trouble for others... isn't there one right in front of me?"

As a result, Tyfilo just pretended that he didn't hear him and actually looked away and whistled.

"Okay, okay, usually when I write to you, I should always talk about the college's affairs, but you, except for answering my questions, basically don't even mention your own affairs. Now that you’re here this time, let’s explain it properly.”

Ellipis lowered her eyes and asked softly: "First question, how is Shamal?"

"disappeared."

Tifilo smiled with joy and said in a brisk tone: "If you are asking about Shamal Pratt, then she disappeared two years ago."

Ellipis tilted her head and glanced at Tifilo. After a moment of silence, she asked, "What about the saint of your Dawn Sect, Her Highness Xialian Zhuye? How is she doing recently?"

"I'm not sure. After all, I am now a military chaplain in the Knights Templar. In the past two years, I have not been back to the City of Light to accompany my godfather and godmother much, and I have not had much interaction with His Highness."

Tifilo did not show any surprise, but after saying the above words, he asked with a half-smile: "What? She came to see you recently? And she also revealed her identity by the way?"

Ellipis did not answer him, but continued to ask herself: "How is the Knights Templar? Is it fun? Is it very hard? Did you sneak out here without telling everyone?"

Tiphilo casually lit up a beautiful butterfly that was more like a starlight than a twinkling star. While controlling it to fly in front of him, he smiled and said: "I am also a favored one by the gods. Even if you are in an ordinary position like a military chaplain, you will definitely receive special care when you are surrounded by friends from the same sect, so it feels pretty good. If you are working hard, compared to teaching Shamal the magic, I think the work of the Knights is much simpler. As for whether they escaped secretly... Haha, it goes without saying that the 'Morning Regiment' I belong to is currently performing a mission in the Dark Forest. I want to come here. Otherwise, I will definitely have to sneak away."

Raising her right hand to let the butterfly rest on the back of her hand, Ellipis asked with a chuckle: "Can they really let go of you, the precious God's Favorite, so easily?"

"It's not a big problem. Our group leader was called back for a meeting by the City of Light last week, and Hans Anderson, the kid who temporarily led the group during this period, has a good relationship with me."

While making the butterfly on the back of Elephis's hand keep changing colors, Tyfilo said with a smile, "So if that guy helps me hide it, at least it will be foolproof until the leader comes back."

"Oh, when will your captain return?"

"yesterday."

"Eh?"

"So if nothing else, poor Hans should have already begun to be punished."

Tifilo crossed himself on his chest with a pious face, and pretended to sigh: "I will always remember him, my friend who died young, the talented paladin Hans Anderson——"

Ellipis burst out laughing and lightly poked Tifilo's shoulder: "You brat, how do you know how to harm others? Oh, forget it, anyway, I see that you are doing well now, so I feel relieved. "

Tiphilo grinned, nodded cheerfully and said, "That's right."

Then, the two of them fell into silence involuntarily, because Elephith, who was leading the conversation, knew very well how heavy the next question was, and Tifilo also knew what Elephis planned to ask.

However, even so, this beautiful young man who was leaning lazily on the railing with a slight smile on his lips had no intention of taking over the topic and making his old friend less embarrassed.

So, in the end, it was Elephith who broke the silence first——

"I've heard a little bit about Margaret."

This girl's face was no longer childish, and the freckles and acne on her face had long since disappeared. She had grown into a grown-up girl at some point. She pursed her lips and asked softly: "Is it really... her? That person from the Dark Night Sect? A new saint."

Tifilo shrugged and said casually: "Who knows, after all, names like Margaret and Elephith are quite vulgar. Even if they are just the same name, it wouldn't be new, right?"

Ellipis sighed and smiled bitterly: "You came all the way to Academy City just to tell me this kind of nonsense? Let's get straight to the point, Luke. Although I still have a lot of time to waste, but for me For you, every minute is precious, isn't it?"

"I don't think it's a waste of time to chat with an old friend, but since you want me to get straight to the point, fine."

Tifilo nodded calmly, then smiled and asked Elephis: "I remember the period before Margaret disappeared. You should have met her several times, right?"

Ellipis nodded slightly and said softly: "Yes, I also wrote to you at that time, because at that time I had just made up my mind to go back to the college to be a teacher, so in order to prepare for the exam with peace of mind, I changed the rent from the original house where it was cheaper. I moved from the Outer Ring District to the Central Ring District, which is close to the library and relatively quiet. Margaret helped me find a house. When we lived in a very close place, I would look for it when I was tired of studying and didn’t want to cook. She eats for free."

"It sounds really enviable."

Tifilo shrugged and sighed: "If the biscuits baked by Margaret can make people want to swallow their tongues and eat them, then the snacks baked by Shamar can be shattered on a physical level. Any tooth that overestimates its own capabilities.”

"Haha, you're talking about that time two years ago, right?"

Ellipis laughed and said with great nostalgia: "I remember it was me filling your teeth at that time."

Tifilo made a face, and then continued to ask after the atmosphere was relatively calmer than before: "So, did you notice anything different about Margaret during that time? Compared with usual. "

"Well, if there were any obvious abnormalities, I would have written to you as soon as possible."

Ellipis's mood dropped visibly, and she lowered her eyes and said, "I was focused on preparing for the exam. Luke, you also know that the nature of our college is quite special, and the necromancy major I applied for is The most special and sensitive among them, so even if the requirements for students are not high, if you want to be admitted to teach, you have to pass a very strict theoretical and practical examination. As for me... although I was a student, it was still okay. Being recognized by the teacher means that there will probably be no problems in the interview process, but there is no room for sloppiness in the theoretical and practical exams before joining the job, so..."

Tifilo smiled slightly, and smiled at Elephith, whose expression was full of annoyance: "So you were actually taken care of by Margaret during that time, well, I guess that's the case, after all, you were at a critical moment at that time. period, and Margaret is in seventh grade, which is the easiest grade at Tianhui Theological Seminary. With her character, she will definitely try her best to take care of you."

"Yeah... I spent most of my time in the library every day. I could forget to eat nine lunches in ten days. Margaret helped prepare breakfast, dinner and supper at that time."

Ellipis gently fiddled with the butterfly that exuded soft moonlight on the back of her hand, and said softly: "You also know what happened next. I successfully passed the exam and returned to my alma mater [Naxramas], and Margaery Te also successfully graduated a week later as the best student in two hundred years. The two of us held a small celebration party, and then...and then..."

Ellipis's eyes turned red and she couldn't speak any more.

"Then Margaret disappeared on the way to the City of Light."

Tifilo narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "It wasn't until three days ago that the Dark Night Sect officially announced the existence of their new saint..."

Ellipis took a deep breath and turned her head to look at Tifilo steadily: "Sure enough, you also think that the saint they are talking about is the Margaret Mute Branch we know."

"I'm not 100 percent sure."

Tifilo shook his head and said with a solemn gaze: "But you also know the relationship between our Dawn Sect and the Dark Night Sect. Just like our Lord Pakosi and the Dark Goddess Delia, our two sects have been together since the establishment of the sect. There was an irreconcilable hostile relationship from the beginning, and countless large-scale wars broke out thousands of years ago. Although the Dawn Sect became one of the axes of the Holy Religion Union, the Dark Night Sect gradually became dormant in the dark world. There are few head-on conflicts, but secret fights never stop, and in this case... In addition to the Dark Night Sect itself, the first person to know that the Dark Goddess has a favored person will be me, Shuguang. sect."

Alice followed the train of thought and suddenly said: "But the Dawn Sect has never known that the Dark Night Sect has a saint named 'Margaret' for all these years!"

"That's it."

Tifilo nodded and said seriously: "So although I am not 100% sure, the possibility that the 'Saint Margaret' of the Dark Night Sect has just been discovered in the past two years is actually quite high. In other words By the way..."

Ellipis let out a feeble moan and said with a pale face: "That saint is probably the Margaret we know."

"Don't do it, Effie."

Tyfilo gently patted Elifes's trembling shoulder, and said with a smile: "The Dark Night Sect is not an evil and weird cult. Compared with being an outstanding priest with a bright future in our Dawn Sect, , I personally think that the identity of 'Dark Saint' is more noble, after all, for most clergy, the word "god's favor" has too much value."

Ellipis's eyes suddenly widened: "Huh?"

"What's wrong? What I said is the truth. There is nothing wrong with being a saint in the Dark Night Sect."

"But you are..."

"It's true that I am a member of the Dawn Sect, but even if I beat the brains out of those followers of the Dark Goddess, it does not mean that I think the Dark Night Sect is evil."

"this……"

"So the main purpose of my visit this time is to tell you that if that person is really the Margaret we know, you can be happy that not only is she okay, but she has become a favored person of God. Anyway, you are not from the Dawn Sect. people."

"but you……"

"I will give priority to faith and friends."

"Tiphilo!?"

"After all, my master has never baked delicious cookies for me~"
