Chapter 182 Late Night Visit

In the evening, she rejected Becky's offer to see her off by carriage. Lance and Garlin walked in the night of the imperial capital. Lively streets, hilarious children, beautiful street scenes and beauties around...

Lance stretched out pleasantly and enjoyed the current feeling. Just as he was 'happy', the beautiful girl beside him suddenly turned her face and looked at him and said with a smile, "You seem to be very happy."

Lance quickly withdrew his extremely exaggerated hand and laughed, "Haha, of course."

Hearing that he must answer, Ai Jialin came closer and blinked, "Oh? So what are you happy about? Tell me about it. Did you have a good dinner or did the count praise you enough?

Lance smiled and said no.

"You're not happy that this night scene is beautiful, is it?" Garlin pouted, "What's the same thing to look like every day?"

The cute appearance of the girl's pout made De Lance's heart tremble slightly. Naturally, the reason why Lance was in a good mood was not because he taught a high-level swordsman at the count's mansion. Nor will it be because of Count Minas's compliments.

And Lance also knows very well why the girl beside him is happy and why she is satisfied and enjoys, but she still needs to ask knowingly.

Looking at Ai Jialin's close face, Lance didn't know where the courage came from. He stared at the girl's eyes and said, "It has nothing to do with the night scene. It's only because of you that I'm so happy."

Stared by Lance's eager eyes, coupled with his undisguised words, Ai Jialin couldn't help blushing and quickly avoided his eyes and turned around and said coquettishly, "Damn it, what are you talking about? Who wants to accompany you?" After saying that, he ran forward quickly without looking back.

Lance laughed and quickly chased forward... After running a distance, the girl slowed down and walked on the bustling streets of the imperial capital, but still didn't look at Lance, who came to catch up and walked next to her.

And Lance was not in a hurry to say anything. He just looked at the girl beside him with a smile, looking at it all the time...

After a while, Ai Jialin finally couldn't stand it. Her face had already been stared red by Lance. She looked sideways at Lance and said angrily, "Okay! Don't look at it, you won!"

Lance smiled and was just about to come forward to say something or do something, but was stopped by Ai Jialin's words.

The girl looked at Lance and suddenly said, "Do you like the current feeling?"

I don't know why Ai Jialin asked so much. Lance thought about it and then looked at the other party and nodded seriously.

"But I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to meet every day and chat and tour the campus together." Ai Jialin said in a low voice.

Ah? Why?" Lance was shocked and eagerly grabbed Ai Jialin's little hand and asked.

was amused by his appearance, and then he found that his hands had been caught by Lance. Although he also landed with Lance when he visited the West Lake two months ago. However, after all, it was on the street at this time, and the feeling of Lance holding her hands tightly at this time was completely different from the helpful handle at that time.

With a red face, he quickly broke away from Lance's hands and asked with a smile, "Why are you so nervous?"

Looking at Ai Jialin's relaxed smile, Langston realized that things were not as serious as he thought, and he was relieved. But he still asked nervously, "What the hell is going on? Tell me quickly."

"Hee, okay, okay, I won't tease you." Ai Jialin said, "That's right. Six months after the opening of the college, there will be a large-scale competitive test. The winner will be given higher tasks in the college. In a real sense, they will walk around the world on behalf of the college. At the same time, after successfully completing the task, in addition to a large number of rewards, they can also enter the library to select books once."

"Well, I already know these situations, but what does it have to do with what you just said?" Lance asked.

"Don't worry." Ai Jialin continued: "Because in the half-year assessment, the students of our magic department will also participate together. Unlike martial arts, who have been training and practicing in battle as soon as they entered the school, we magicians have no combat experience at all. It took a long time to lay the foundation at the beginning. Now the tutor in the department will organize us to participate in the trial near the Warcraft Forest for two months to enhance our actual combat ability.

"So that's it." Lance nodded: "It seems that there is really no way to continue such a day. However, next, if you practice well, the faster you improve your strength, the more you can help your father. And it didn't take long to go there.

He thought for a moment and said, "So when will we leave?"

"The date announced by the Ministry of Magic is set for this week, and the specific date will be notified by the tutors, but I think it will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I wanted to tell you about this before, but I haven't found a chance, and you haven't come all day yesterday..."

"Well... it's not my fault." Lance whispered.

"Hee, it doesn't matter. The trial will be over soon. You also said that two months is not long. Take me home now." Ai Jialin said with a smile.

"Uh-huh, okay, I'll take you home."

......

......

Although the sky city of the human imperial capital is called the city that never sleeps, which is used by outsiders to describe its prosperity and bustleness, in fact, even if it is the busiest commercial center, it cannot be open all night. Unless it is some large festivals, the downtown will gradually regain calm at two or three o'clock at night. .

A mansion not far from the commercial center is the residence of Holt-Sig, a scholar of Imperial University. This scholar occupies a key position in the empire and is deeply trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, so he also plays a pivotal role among many officials.

And he is not like other officials or university scholars. He has many wives and concubines, only two wives and three children. There are not many servants on the mansion, and the guards are only a minority among many high-level mansions. According to the words of Sig University: Living in the imperial capital is extremely safe, what's the use of keeping so many guards?

University scholar Xige doesn't like to go far away. Naturally, he feels that he doesn't need any guards and many servants in the imperial capital, and other officials naturally dare not refute his words to face. At most, they mocked themselves after returning home. After all, the higher the people are, the more afraid of death. Many people think that there are not many guards they have. It's too much.

The university's mansion has stood in the imperial capital for many years without any problems. But tonight, Lord Sieg is destined to pay for what he said.

In the dark night, a slightly fat figure was struggling to climb over the courtyard wall of the mansion and then staggered to the ground. The body that did not stand firmly twisted back several steps and knocked down a decoration next to the courtyard wall to the ground.

The man stared at the huge vase that was about to end and widened. At this time, he had no time to reach out his hand to help it. He could only watch the vase fall back... Of course, this man did not do nothing. A trace of fierceness flashed in his small eyes, took a sigh of breath and biting his tongue. Pointy, put your hands out...

With a bang, the big vase fell to pieces and shattered all over the ground without surprise. However, strangely, the fat man's face did not show any panic, and the people sleeping in the whole mansion were not awakened by the sound of broken porcelain and still maintained their previous sleeping posture...

If ordinary people see such a strange thing, they will be scared out of their courage. However, practitioners can naturally understand why. If you look closely, you can see that there is a faint black fog in this person's hands, which blocks the spread of the sound here.

Although this action seems easy, it can be understood from the painful color of the fat man's big face and the gasp that tried to control. Especially when he dragged some staggering steps and continued to turn forward, he could see one or two.

The second floor of Sige Mansion is the residence of the only daughter of his three children. The university scholar loved this daughter very much. He did not discipline his children like ordinary officials and nobles, but let her go freely and let her play whatever she wanted to learn. Fortunately, Ruth Wan, a daughter of a bachelor's mansion, did not develop too many bad habits because of this. She just secretly made a boyfriend without telling her father...

Ruth Wan, who was sleeping, turned over and was about to continue to have unfinished dreams. Suddenly, she became alert and suddenly sat up. With a good family background, Sige University scholars will naturally not forget to hire a good martial arts tutor to teach their children, so Ruth Wan is delicate, but in fact, her martial arts cultivation is not weak.

Sensing that a dark shadow blocked the starlight shining in front of the window, she got up without hesitation and boldly stepped forward. However, it was a pity that her wrist was caught by the thick palm as soon as it was hit out, and then her lips were blocked at the first time, making it impossible for her to scream. It's just that the way of gagging is a little special, not with the palm of your hand, but with a wide lip.

"Well..." Ruth's delicate body trembled in the man's arms, made a little sound, and then stopped struggling. It was not that the man used any evil means, but because the woman already knew who the visitor was.

When the person in his arms became honest, the figure breathed a sigh of relief and gently let go of his hand...
