Chapter 425 Let’s talk about it after everything is over
"What do you think?"
It was late at night and most people had returned to their tents, snoring could be heard one after another. Lilith was standing at the edge of the camp, watching the quiet volcano in the distance, when she heard footsteps behind her. It was Catherine.
"Well, I have always felt vaguely that our Goletia magic system is incomplete and some of the basic knowledge is not detailed enough. Now I have confirmed it through Lariel."
Lilith tilted her head and thought for a while before answering, "It can be seen how much the academy relied on the help of the elves in the past, so that their departure caused a knowledge gap, but we should not be complacent, and the textbooks should be improved in real time to keep up with the times. The student union should speak for the students and put forward opinions to the school, but this is up to you..."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Catherine walked to Lilith and exhaled a puff of white mist.
"I mean you, Lilith." Catherine turned her head and saw Lilith looking up at the sky. The crescent moon was reflected in her blue eyes, beautiful and magnificent, becoming the most eye-catching ornament on the girl's body. "Lariel just said that you..."
"So that's what you're asking." Lilith breathed a sigh of relief. "I was so scared. I thought you wanted to drag me back to the student union to work after the competition!"
According to Lariel, Lilith had more than one elemental affinity, but the green light of the wood element was stronger, suppressing the other lights.
"You don't seem surprised at all." Catherine observed her friend's expression.
"Well, Mr. Simon once revealed a little." Lilith also exhaled a puff of white mist. She recalled how Mr. Simon had chosen her at first sight and invited her to enroll in the quiet midsummer night garden of Friar Manor. He actually said that she was a little different...
"And I didn't take the elemental affinity test when I entered school. I only found out about it later." Lilith rubbed her arms and laughed. "To be honest, I thought I was a relative at the time, and I wanted to behave myself."
Catherine also laughed, "Maybe because you are a genius, Lilith."
"We are so familiar with each other, so let's not say such empty words. You know I trust others easily. What if I take them seriously?" Lilith waved her hands quickly and made a self-deprecating comment.
"Have I ever told you? Actually... I almost became a person favored by God before." Lilith hesitated for a while, but decided to tell Catherine her "dark history".
Catherine was indeed surprised. "That's very difficult. It requires a very high affinity for light elements..."
"When I was very young, I was able to use some light elements without any guidance. Our local priest reported my name to the church very early on, and everyone knew that I would become a person favored by God. Woody, oh, that's my childhood playmate, and he would call me Saint Lady in private."
As Lilith spoke, she couldn't help but turn around and look at the figure guarding the campfire. Ian was sitting there quietly looking at the fire. As if he felt her gaze, the black-haired boy looked over.
"That looks like a very high affinity for the element of light, which matches what Lyrael said," Katherine said gently.
"Yeah, until—" Lilith turned back, but lost her voice.
Catherine did not urge her, but just looked at her frowning brows quietly. The night breeze blew gently, ruffling Lilith's satin-like golden hair. It was so quiet and beautiful that Catherine couldn't help but think that she really looked like the saints on those floats.
Until when? Silent Lilith knew better than anyone else.
Until she woke up to the memory of her past life, the light element suddenly disappeared. At that time, she thought that she had lost the favor of God because of her awakening. She was in a panic and wanted to escape from the church to avoid the risk of being burned at the stake. However, she walked into Gloria by mistake and became a magician with a sword.
Now she understood that the light element did not disappear, but was merely obscured by the more abundant wood element.
"When I was in the first grade, I asked Teacher Luna whether the elemental affinity of humans would change, and she gave me a negative answer." Lilith said slowly. "In fact, I have a hunch that all this is related to my life experience. I..."
She had never told anyone that she was different. Catherine only knew that she had some dragon blood in her body, but she didn't know that she was just a soul from another world. Perhaps all the special things came from this... Should I tell Catherine?
She looked at the silver-haired princess beside her with a slightly bewildered look.
That look reminded Catherine of how Lilith hid on her and called her mother when she was drunk. Her heart ached, and she took a step forward and held her hand.
"Do you want to know?" Catherine said softly, already thinking of a hundred ways to pry open the viscount's mouth...
The two of them had been together for many years and had already developed a tacit understanding. When Lilith saw Catherine lowering her eyes and glancing to the side, she knew that this guy had started brainstorming again, and she couldn't help but smile and reached out to cover her eyes.
"Take a break, my lady princess. You have enough things to consider." Lilith pulled the corner of her mouth, feeling Catherine's eyelashes brushing against her palm.
"But..." Catherine's face was very small. When covered by Lilith's hand, only her beautiful nose and mouth were exposed. She pursed her face as Lilith spoke.
"I know you didn't come here on a whim, nor because the king was assassinated." Lilith said softly, "You came here to form an alliance with the dwarves, and you have been planning for this for a long time, right? Don't let these little things disturb your thoughts."
"As for me..." Lilith let go of her hand, "Anyway, this physique brings me all benefits now, I just have to use it, and I'll talk about it after everything is over."
After everything is over?... Catherine looked at the girl who was smiling freely, "It seems that you have high hopes for me."
"It's for us." Lilith held her and turned her around, showing her the lighted tents in the camp. In the endless darkness, they were so warm and bright.
"As long as we work together, is there anything we can't do?" Lilith's arrogant voice sounded in Catherine's ears.
