Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

Chapter 180 It’s not like I haven’t seen you for a long time

Catherine was checking the effects of the healing powder and was a little surprised to hear this.

“I don’t know much about theology, but the Church of Light calls them the Old Gods. Judging from the Bible of Light, there doesn’t seem to be any connection.” In the Gaia Empire, knowledge about other gods is rare, and the Church of Light has strict control over this.

"The old gods...?" Lilith pondered. She thought they were one bright and one dark, work partners.

"There are many old gods, such as the sea god believed in by the sea people. So when the Church of Light expanded in the Gaia Empire, it was the most turbulent era in the empire, probably during the reigns of Bishop II and III." Catherine whispered to Lilith, sharing the history she learned from the Royal Academy. "Most of the small countries around the Gaia Empire split off during that era."

Did they split because of different beliefs? History books don't mention this. Lilith held her chin and thought, the ecology before the holy war sounds much more complicated and interesting than it is now...

"At that time, the Gaia Empire had not yet recovered from the huge damage of the holy war, and the leaders of those small countries took away a lot of military forces when they left. So it was not until the time of Bishop IV that the empire was able to reorganize the surrounding small countries." Catherine thought about the knowledge she had read and spoke slowly.

"...It seems that their gods did not protect them." Atheist Lilith curled her lips. In front of the huge Gaia Empire, those small countries were destroyed silently, and the war would not even be recorded in history books.

But then she thought again, the country of Mulet is still there, does that mean... the god they believe in is still there too?

"Eh?!" Lilith suddenly sat up straight. "Aren't Nerle and Neva pure pagans? Why are they treated so highly in the Gaia Empire?"

These two brothers acted recklessly. I heard from classmates who came back from Highgarden that they chopped off the heads of two nobles at this year's knight's tournament. As foreign princes living in a foreign country, and pagans at that, they were too arrogant!

"His Majesty the King likes them very much." When Catherine mentioned this, dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. "According to Canyon, they brought extremely precious gifts when they came, which made His Majesty the King very happy. He even specially ordered Canyon to entertain the two brothers..."

"Tsk, maybe your brother can be your diplomat in the future." Lilith admired Kanien's social skills.

"Maybe he will have the chance after I go crazy." Catherine sneered. She didn't want to work with that idiot!

"Why do you despise him so much?" Every time Catherine talked about Canion, her usually cold expression became much more lively. Lilith found her like this very amusing and always teased her with Canion on purpose.

"It seems that you are not in pain anymore. Go back and rest." Catherine stood up and looked down with a stern face at Lilith who was sitting on the ground and teasing her. She looked miserable, but she could still smile and tease others.

"Hey, you're using me to test the medicine and you're kicking me out. Will you deny it if something goes wrong?" Lily got up without any image at all, patted her butt, and complained.

Catherine suddenly smiled sweetly, "Or you can stay here. I still have some work to do with the Student Union—"

"I'm so starving! Luckily I still have some food I stockpiled before. I'm going to have a big meal and then take a good bath..." Lilith talked to herself as she swiftly opened the door and left with her long legs.

Before the door closed, she reached in and waved, "Good night, Your Majesty."

"...Good night." Catherine originally wanted to persuade her to have less contact with the Nerel brothers, but Lilith's jokes made her forget it.

Never mind...it's just a new toy for her training session. Catherine shook her head and decided to ignore her.

She turned her head to close the window, but was startled.

The gargoyle was still leaning its head out of the window, its expressionless face staring at the door through which Lilith left.

It seems that she is indeed not very smart... Catherine held her forehead with her hand, feeling a little headache.

"She's rested, you can go." She didn't know whether this guy would listen to her or not, but with such a big guy clinging to her window, even Catherine, who was always calm, couldn't stand the oppressive feeling.

The gargoyle must have understood. After being silent for a second, it let go of the window frame and fell straight down with its head tilted back.

Seeing this, Catherine subconsciously took a step towards the window, but saw a huge figure suddenly rise up, and the gargoyle flapped its wings and took off again, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Catherine finally breathed a sigh of relief, went forward to close the window, and returned to her studies.

The gargoyle did not fly far. After circling over the dormitory building for a few times, it landed above the room where Lilith was, folded its wings, and returned to the posture it had maintained for a thousand years.

"Meow--"

A calico cat climbed onto the roof at some point, circled around the silent giant twice, and rubbed its face against it, as if saying hello to the new neighbor.

Then it jumped onto the statue's knees skillfully, found a comfortable position, curled up, and fell asleep peacefully.

The night was like thick ink, staining the sky more and more deeply. When the lights in the building went out one by one, the gargoyle on the roof was finally completely hidden in the darkness.

……

"Hahahahahaha! So that guy is just a decoration!" Lucas laughed triumphantly.

"I was wondering how it was possible that all good things happened to you! Well, I told you I'm not envious at all." Lucas put his hands on his hips and looked up happily.

Lucas had been regretting giving away junk so easily in the past few days. Now that he knew that Lilith had also suffered a setback from the gargoyle, he finally felt better after losing his fortune.

"Maybe I just haven't discovered its use yet. Besides, it can still take me on a trip... although only once at night." Lilith pouted and complained but couldn't help but make up for her pet.

"Are you here to chat?" an impatient voice came, and Lilith and Lucas turned their heads at the same time.

"Oh my - isn't this a coincidence?" Lilith curled her lips in pleasure. It was Angel and Daniel.

The teaching mode of Magic Defense has changed greatly compared with the first grade. The focus of everyone's learning has changed from individual to cooperation. Teacher Rebecca and Teacher Wolf are encouraging magicians and guardians to work together more and adapt to collaborative operations as soon as possible.

Therefore, daily training is mostly carried out in team mode. The partner Lilith picked up today is Lucas, and the opponent is actually the two brothers and sisters of the Russell family.

"Long time no see, Angel." Lilith greeted her casually. Apart from big classes like Defense Against Magic, they only had the chance to meet each other in the Student Union. But Lilith was used to being lazy and would not go if she could avoid it. Therefore, the last time they met was at a ball in High Garden.

Angel frowned and didn't respond, fearing that Lilith would take advantage of her verbally again.

Seeing this, Daniel took over the conversation, "Haha, Lilith you——"

"It's not like I haven't seen you for a long time." Lilith impatiently interrupted Daniel, whom she saw every day, and drew her sword neatly.

"Just start fighting."
