Outside the lord's mansion, Lester was enjoying a relaxing and happy night with his family.
Meredith stood aside with an upright expression, using magic to disperse the snowflakes falling from the sky with an expressionless face. Rose, wearing a black silk dress, sat on a chair at the door, reading a book by the light of the pumpkin lantern. Smiling softly at the man from time to time.
Two barbarian sisters, Tali and Jisi, were wearing bold little leather skirts and low-collared leather jackets. They were whizzing around the mud stove and throwing snowballs. They were having a great time fighting each other. Soon the leather skirts and The snowflakes on the fur coats were melted by the fire and became a little wet. The two young girls turned over the collars from time to time and shook the white snow in the collars.
This made Lester involuntarily distracted, which made Misha and Xina who were building the snowman a little dissatisfied.
"Brother Lester!"
After Lester's dazed face straightened up, Sheena, who was wearing a cute little purple cotton skirt, put her little hands on her hips, stared at Lester, a fan who was in a daze, with her cute big eyes and puffed up her cheeks.
"Don't watch Sister Keith and Sister Tali play ball!"
"Huh? I didn't watch football...Hey, what kind of football? Wait, Hina, who told you that I like to watch football?"
Lester was dumbfounded, how old is he? Why did a nice little girl start talking dirty words?
"Hmph~ Brother Lester, Hina and I have known how horny you are for a long time. You like big balls the most, right?"
Misha, who was wearing a cute beige cotton skirt, sneered from the side with a look of disdain.
"When Hina and I have a big ball in the future, I will suffocate you in the big ball!"
Rose burst out laughing after hearing this, and Meredith couldn't help laughing.
If you really do this, I'm afraid you won't let that bad man die proudly.
"Well……"
The man was speechless, not knowing how to answer this, and then began to reflect on his behavior.
Is it because I usually don’t know how to restrain myself?
It seems that I have to try my best to avoid Angel Sisters from doing that in the future.
Not far away, the barbarian sisters looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
"Concentrate on making snow~people~"
Xina expressed her dissatisfaction concisely and concisely.
"Okay~ watch me build a big snowman for Hina and Misha~"
Lester, who became serious, rolled up his sleeves and began to push the snowball, which was already the size of a child's head. Misha and Xina followed behind and kept screaming, watching helplessly as the little snowball became half a human tall, with the only flaw It's just that the snow clumps are stuck together in some places, and the overall look is a bit uneven.
Then Lester formed a slightly smaller snow ball and placed it on top of the big snow ball.
"Dangdangdangdang~"
Using magic to shape a beautiful ice-blue carving knife in his hand, Lester began to cut and draw on the snowballs. This move made the Barbarian sisters who were addicted to snowball fights couldn't help but run over and act like curious babies.
While four curious babies were surrounding Lester to admire what a snow sculpture was, Rose, who was sitting on a chair, spoke.
"His magic talent is very high, especially the use and perception of ice elements. He is outstanding. His understanding of magic symbols has also reached a certain level. You taught him very well."
Meredith nodded slightly, looking respectful.
"I just did the simple part that I can do. It's Master Lester's own talent that is high."
Rose smiled, as if she was recalling the scene when she first taught the man the language, and for a moment she actually felt a little cultivated joy.
"Yes, he is very talented in learning and very diligent. Even when I am away, he has been studying with the scrolls I left.
Now, except for the overly complicated Vastaya language and the ancient Icathian language, he can communicate simply in other languages. Noxian, Demacian and Freljord can all be used. He is very proficient. Now he is focusing on Shuriman. Unfortunately, I don’t have much teaching materials about Shuriman here. If you want to gain enough proficiency, it is better to study locally...or go to an academy. "
After a moment of silence, Meredith whispered.
"Lord Leicester, will he go to Black Rose Academy for further studies?"
"I tested his attitude towards black magic. His original words were, 'Whether it is black magic or white magic, as long as it can produce the necessary positive effects, it has the value of learning. We should not have any knowledge about unknown knowledge. prejudice and arrogance, otherwise the only thing that can be reflected is self-ignorance.'"
After a pause, Rose squinted her eyes and looked at the starry sky with flying snowflakes.
"In his view, magic is just a means to achieve an end, and there is no evil or good in itself. This is one of the reasons why I like him. He is never arrogant enough to easily define something. It is up to him to decide the nature of his actions. It is a decision, not a judgment. This is very important. It is up to him to decide what to do, but he will not easily judge what others should do, let alone whether what others do is right or wrong. .
He may be disgusted by the black magician who refines innocent human sacrifices into [cursed ashes] (a spell-casting material), but he will not be disgusted with the black magic itself. Instead, he will be disgusted with the principle and meaning of the magic. Interest until you come to your own conclusions and thinking is an indispensable and important trait in the path of seeking knowledge in magic. It is countless times stronger than some sanctimonious white magicians. "
Finally, Rose closed her eyes.
"If he is willing to enter the Black Rose Academy after he is busy for a while, you can take him and Tali there. As long as you pass the exam, I will give you a teaching assistant position. Since you are not willing to be my eyes, So how far you can go depends on your own abilities."
"I understand, Ms. Rose, do you want to explain to you what I observed now?"
"There is no need to talk about this now...let us put aside these messy worries and enjoy the hard-won peace. There will be more things next year. There will always be a day when we can figure out the world's runes."
Looking away from the snow sculpture that was about to take shape, Rose nodded with satisfaction, picked up the book again, and quickly entered the reading state.
Seeing that Rose had no intention of continuing the conversation, Meredith stopped talking and focused her attention on the five people in the distance again.
On the other side, under Lester's careful carving, a snow girl wearing a skirt appeared in front of the four girls.
Putting down the ice carving knife in his hand, Lester once again used his shaping magic to turn the somewhat rough Snow Maiden from a mosaic into an icy blue high-definition image. He picked up the carving knife again and patiently modified the last part.
Soon, a sky-blue ice girl holding hands and wearing a beautiful long dress appeared on the snow. Lester also thoughtfully added an ice base.
"Hey! This iceman looks like me!"
Xina was the first to exclaim, tugging at the hem of Lester's clothes.
"Brother Lester! Is this me when I grow up? So beautiful!"
"Nonsense! It's obviously me! Look at her eyes and eyebrows! It's obviously me!"
Not to be outdone, Misha pointed at the Yuki Onna's face.
"It really seems like a real person, a bit like Ms. Rose. Brother Lester is so awesome!"
The barbarian sisters looked at each other with admiration in their eyes, guessing that the man might be designed by combining the characteristics of many girls.
"Brother Lester, who exactly are you carving? I don't think I've ever seen this face before?"
After hearing Xena's question, everyone, including Rose and Meredith who put down their books, focused on the man.
"Her."
The man smiled very gently.
"My best memory."
There were snowflakes all over the sky, and in the howling cold wind, there was a faint sound of flapping wings.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Unfortunately, no one could hear it except the cold wind.
