Chapter 187: Lucia's Death
Ethan rushed to Merlin Academy.
He also saw Lucia's body.
The petite body lay quietly on the ground.
Her face had turned pale, and so did her originally red lips.
Her eyes were closed peacefully, but there was still a trace of tears at the corner of her eyes.
A shocking black bruise on her neck.
It told the way she ended her life.
When the teachers and students found her, she was hanging alone on the spire of a bell tower.
A disabled girl was shown to everyone in the most deterrent way.
But according to the academy, she committed suicide.
Yes,
A girl with disabled legs climbed up the tower and committed suicide.
When Ethan saw the body, his head was buzzing.
He clenched his fists tightly, and then immediately loosened them.
Finally, he quietly withdrew from the crowd, returned home quietly, and locked himself in the room.
"Master, Emile is provoking you!" Volibear suddenly appeared and said in Ethan's ear.
"Master, give the order! Let me end her life!"
...
Ethan didn't say anything, just sat quietly in front of the window, watching the drizzle outside.
For some reason, even though he was in the warm house, he could feel the cold rain outside.
I am really too sentimental!
Why should I worry about something that has nothing to do with me?
Ah!
...
Sitting here, night has fallen before I know it.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
It was Sophia.
"Ethan, there is a teacher named Ange at Merlin Academy, and he wants to see you."
Teacher Ange?
Come to think of it, it's the teacher who still cares about Lucia.
But, what is he looking for me for?
Ethan got up and opened the door.
Besides Sophia, there was also the clean-shaven magician Ange outside the door.
He held a colorful eagle and a letter in his hand.
When Ange saw Ethan, he handed the eagle and letter in his hand to Ethan expressionlessly.
"Lucia asked me to send it to you. The things have been delivered. I'll take my leave first!"
After saying that, Ange turned and left.
Ethan was left standing there in a daze.
After reacting, Ethan immediately opened the envelope.
To Mr. Ethan
It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Ethan.
You are the first person who is willing to lend a hand to me without fear of power. I am very grateful!
I know you like Catherine very much. In order to express my gratitude, I will give it to you.
I hope you can treat it well!
Finally, I wish you a happy life!
Lucia, who admires you, left a note.
After reading it, Ethan swallowed hard.
She handed the eagle to Sofia: "Please take care of it for me, I'm going out for a while!"
"Ethan, what are you doing?"
Ethan smiled bitterly: "Don't worry! I'm not going to do anything stupid, I'm just going to see someone."
Before he finished speaking, he turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared.
Not long after, the lightning appeared at the gate of Merlin College.
An old man guarding the gate frowned when he saw the lightning coming, and slowly walked out of the door.
"Young swordsman, are you still here so late?"
"I clearly heard you say that she is safe in the college." Ethan did not answer the old man, but talked about Lucia by himself.
The old man smiled: "I did say that, but suicide is not one of them!
Look at your angry look.
Are you here to blame me?
Or do you want to find a place to vent your anger?
But, did you find the wrong person?"
"Suicide?" Ethan pursed his lips: "Her legs were cut off by someone, which was also self-injury?"
The old man smiled bitterly: "This is exactly why I came here.
Someone went too far, causing an old man like me to guard the gate!
But, whether you believe it or not, the girl committed suicide.
Her death is not to blame anyone, but this era!
Do you want to change this era?
You are the beneficiary of this era!
Alas...I don't want to talk anymore!
If you don't have any other questions, I think you can leave."
Seeing the other party driving people away, Ethan took a deep breath.
"I didn't come here because of that girl, I came here for you!"
"For me?" The old man pointed at his nose, looking weird.
Ethan nodded solemnly: "When I first saw you, I wanted to draw my sword, but I didn't. I want to make up for this regret!
One move, just one move, okay?"
The old man smiled indifferently and spread his hands: "Come on!"
Seeing the old man agreed, Ethan slowly drew out the sword of oath and bent down to accumulate strength.
After a short period of accumulation, it turned into a stream of light and chopped the old man's face with a charge.
This sword was so powerful that before the sword came out, the road had already cracked because it could not withstand the pressure of the sword.
When the sword was chopped down, it was like a crescent moon falling from the sky, as if it wanted to smash the earth to pieces.
But the old man smiled slightly in the face of this sword, his body stood still, and he only stretched out two fingers and flicked the long sword that was chopped.
"Ding"
After a crisp sound.
Ethan flew backwards as lightly as a feather.
Flying nearly a hundred meters away, it slowly fell to the ground.
Ethan was shocked. He had thought of countless possibilities, but he never expected that he would lose in this way.
Just for a moment, he felt as if his body had really become a feather, light and out of control.
"What is this?"
"Master, this is the law of gravity!" Volibear's voice sounded.
Gravity law?
Ethan immediately knew who the other party was.
[Opposing Judge] Ulysses.
This great swordsman has always been known for opposing the attacks of others. It turns out that he has mastered the law of gravity.
But isn't he a chief judge?
Why did he come here to watch the gate?
Could it be that he retired and had nothing to do?
Forget it, the goal has been achieved, so I won't meddle in other people's business.
Thinking of this, Ethan walked up to Ulysses and said, "Thank you!"
"Thank you for what?" Ulysses asked.
"Thank you for letting me know, don't underestimate anyone?"
"Haha!" Ulysses laughed: "Do you usually lie to the old man like this?
Young man, although I don't know why you came to me, but you are very good.
As an appreciation, I will give you a piece of advice.
Don't make any decisions when you are angry!"
"Thank you!"
Ethan nodded gently, said goodbye to the old man, and slowly disappeared into the night.
After returning home, Ethan still locked himself in the room.
He sat on the chair, staring at the rainbow sculpture on the table with a bitter face.
"Lucia, you are really committing suicide!"
"Want to force me to help you in this way?"
"I have to say, you succeeded!"
"I accept your gift."
Thinking, Ethan immersed his mind in the talent tree.
Just now, I went to find the old man just to see if I would unlock the skills when I met a strong man.
Everything was as expected. In the rule extension panel, a brand new skill ball began to flash continuously.
Ethan glanced at the skill introduction, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"So this is the philosophy of blocking!"
