Yesterday''s changes have not only changed the mermaid song, but also the whole Pelican town has not recovered from this shock.
Arrow took the crisp tower and cocoa to Swan Castle. Along the way, the smiling townspeople are now whispering and talking. Smiles are like things that have completely disappeared and no longer appear on people''s faces. Maybe it''s because of the accident yesterday. Even the flower goblins no longer appear in the town.
Everyone looked at the north with worry and prayed that the God of light would not abandon himself.
Leave Pelican town for swan castle. After knocking on the gate of the castle, the servant led the three people of mermaid song to the top of the castle.
It was still the familiar reception hall, but this time, the Viscount Ruichi sat in it with a worried face as if he had been ready long ago.
"Ah, President arrow! Great, I was thinking you would come in these two days. I didn''t expect you to come the next day! "
Viscount Ritchie did not look well, and it was obvious that he did not sleep well last night.
Arrow sat down opposite the Viscount, looked at the haggard face of the fat man and said, "Viscount Ritchie, you look in bad spirits."
"Bad? More than bad! I have a terrible headache now! President arrow, to be honest with me, did the big commotion last night have something to do with the guy Capone?! What about him? Where has he gone now? "
"He''s dead."
Arrow gave this answer faintly.
When Viscount Ritchie had not recovered for a moment, he continued——
"In other words, it is no different from death. He dedicated his body and soul to some... Possibly very terrible existence. I don''t know how much willpower he has left, nor whether his body has been digested. But there is no doubt that he will no longer appear in front of us in the way we are familiar with. "
Viscount Ruichi smacked his mouth. After a moment of silence, he gently shook his head and said with a little anger: "I knew... I knew that guy would go to destruction sooner or later... He was too focused since childhood! Once you identify something, you become very persistent... Damn it, he''s dead... What about the child tiramisu? "
Arrow didn''t answer directly. The crisp tower and coco behind turned their eyes and showed a little sad expression.
Seeing the mermaid song showing such emotion, viscount Ruichi naturally knew the answer. He was obviously breathing on his face, but he didn''t know how to vent for a while. After a long time, the Viscount collapsed on the sofa like a mass of rotten meat, looked up at the ceiling and didn''t know what to say.
However, arrow doesn''t have so much time to allow sadness. After waiting for almost a minute, he said again, "Viscount Ruichi, did the two teachers and disciples give you any explanation before leaving you?"
Viscount Ritchie was still half open, like a goldfish spitting bubbles. After a while, he came back, nodded slightly and said, "explain? Um... Did you explain? Wait... Ah, I remember, it seems! "
Ello exhaled and said, "what''s that? Did he say what to do next? "
Viscount Ritchie sat up from the sofa and said, "yes! Although it''s not a specific instruction, he did tell me that if one day he suddenly disappeared and the child tiramisu came to him, let me open his room and let the child go in and find something by himself. "
Without delay, ello immediately asked to observe the swordsman''s room. Ruichi was already in a state of unconsciousness. He nodded and asked the servant to bring MAS Capone''s room key. The party hurried to their destination.
Open the door. It''s a very simple looking guest room.
Unlike other rooms with beautifully decorated wooden panels, this room is all made of stone walls, giving a very depressing ascetic feeling. Asked Ruichi, the Viscount said it was Capone''s initiative.
The decoration of the room is very simple, that is, a bed, a table, and stacks of books like hills stacked next to the table.
Compared with the clean and tidy bed, the table looks very messy. It is full of all kinds of manuscript paper, but I don''t know what I''m writing.
Viscount Ritchie looked around for a moment and asked, "President ello, do you think Capone will dig a hole for me? He just injured the people of the Royal magician association not long ago. The two magicians went back and mobilized people to come here. Is it almost coming? Does he really leave such a mess for me to clean up? "
Ailuo was not in the mood to pay attention to the Viscount''s concerns. He searched every corner of the room with suuta and cocoa. After searching for almost ten minutes, cocoa bent down under the bed and lifted the sheets, she immediately shouted——
"Brother president! here! Here, here! "
Ello quickly put down his book "rough theory on the study of ancient gods" and rushed to the bedside. I saw cocoa get under the bed. After a long delay, she climbed out of it with a slightly heavy package in her arms, patted the ash on it, and raised it with a smile.
"That should be it."
Coco put the package on the next table and opened it. The first thing that comes into sight is a letter painted with fire paint. Take up the letter. Below is a list of all kinds of real estate and funds. At the bottom is a carefully decorated manuscript. After a rough look, ello feels that he doesn''t understand much, so he just closes it and doesn''t read it.
"This is the lacquer seal of the Capone family!" Viscount Ritchie pointed to the lacquer on the envelope and exclaimed, "but how has this letter been opened?"
Arrow picked up the envelope and looked at it again and again. Indeed, the paint mark has been torn open now. But the letter paper inside was still intact. After thinking about it, he took out the letter.
"To my dearest student, tiramisu. It seems that this is Capone''s letter to tiramisu. "
Arrow muttered and then continued to look——
"When you see this letter, I guess I have already returned to the arms of the God of light. However, please don''t have any sadness because of my death. I don''t want to see your uncomfortable expression. In that case, I will fall into sadness. "
After reading the first sentence, arrow frowned slightly, put down the letter paper again, looked at the letter that had been opened, then turned his head with doubt and looked at the Viscount Ruichi next to him.
Viscount Ruichi waved his hand and said nervously, "no, no, don''t look at me! I didn''t dismantle it! Asshole, some servant must have opened this letter with cheap hands. I''ll clean them up later! "
Cocoa on one side also tiptoed to look at the letter paper, and then said to Viscount Ruichi on the other side, "you should check it carefully. Some places on this letter have spent ink. Did you get water when you cleaned it?"
Ailuo sighed and could only put it aside first and read the letter completely
————
To my dearest student, tiramisu:
When you see this letter, I must have returned to the arms of the God of light. However, please don''t have any sadness because of my death. I don''t want to see your uncomfortable expression. In that case, I will fall into sadness.
Don''t feel sad because of my death, and don''t blame anyone for my death. Because this is my willing choice. Don''t blame yourself. Although you usually seem very indifferent, my master knows that you are a child with more delicate emotions than anyone.
After my death, all my property will belong to you. I made a list of all my possessions, which were placed everywhere in the blue bay Empire, and some people were helping me manage them. From now on, you will be the owner of these properties. I can''t give you a stable and peaceful life in the first half of your life, but I hope you can live a happy life after my death.
Ah, what else do I want to say to you? I always feel that there are too many things to say, but in fact I can''t figure out a clue.
Let me see. Let me recall ten years ago.
Ten years ago, I rescued you from the mass grave.
At that time, you seemed very afraid, wronged and crying. All your family and friends are dead
Yes, it was killed by robbers. This secret has been hidden in my heart for a long time, but now, I can finally tell you the truth——
The robbers who ruined your family... In fact, it''s me.
Now I don''t want to tell the reason why I killed your family. I didn''t even have so much compassion at that time. I am following the orders of the church and the will of the God of light, but none of this will change my crimes against you and your family.
So, when I pulled you out of the mass grave and looked at the blood on your face, in fact... How scared I was at that time.
When I saw you crying in front of me and saw that you, a child who should have a better life, were so weak because of my fault, I felt that a place in my heart was finally touched.
Tiramisu, I''m not asking for your forgiveness.
In the past ten years, a hypocrite like me has asked you to call me the "master" who has killed the enemy for ten years. In fact, I have no qualification to ask you for forgiveness.
Since then, I have made up my mind to take good care of you. Even if I exhaust my own life, I want you to live easily and happily, without sorrow and worry all your life.
I really think so... I once thought I could fight for you for this idea all my life.
Until... You are diagnosed with this terrible disease.
Tiramisu, I don''t want to explain to you how much effort I have made and how much I have run for your disease. Those things are not enough for what I owe you. But when I heard the news from those magicians that you might not live to adulthood, I felt my heart was breaking.
I hope you can be saved, for which I can pay any price and do anything. This is my belief. Don''t people live for a little faith?
How many years... As your condition becomes more and more serious, watching you weaken day by day, I really feel remorse for my weakness.
If I hadn''t done such terrible things to your family, would your family have other ways to save you?
If I wasn''t a rigid Templar, could I have more ways to help you?
Ha ha, now think about it, this kind of thing actually has no meaning in itself.
Because you survived.
Your illness is cured.
The voice calling me gave me a promise. Although I can''t say why, I really think its promise is true. In fact, you''re looking at this letter now, aren''t you? It did not deceive me, because I had this feeling that even if it would deceive anyone, it would never deceive me in this matter.
So, when I, the culprit who killed your family, finally pleaded guilty, I believe that your future life can finally clear all the haze and become incomparably bright.
You don''t have to worry about how much life you have. If you want to play with the children of mermaid song, you can play, and if you want to travel around the world, you can travel around the world.
You can have unlimited possibilities. I believe there may even be countless adventures waiting for you in your future. I have written down all the powers and skills that can be thought of by my magic swordsman master. You can learn if you want to learn. If you don''t want to, it doesn''t matter if you want to give up the identity of magic swordsman.
In the not too distant future, perhaps, which girl will see you? Then you will have a beautiful and romantic relationship with that girl, and then either leave a sad memory, or walk into the palace of marriage hand in hand?
After that, you will have a lovely child... Or how many? These lovely children will surround you and listen to your brave stories.
After another few decades, you may feel tired because of old age. But you were still very happy at that time.
One day in the future, you will lie in a warm bed, then slowly close your eyes, go to the end of your life, and draw a complete and happy end for your life
Ah... I really want to see all this with my own eyes... But it doesn''t matter, because I know all this will become a reality. In the next few decades, you will get rid of the pain and enjoy everything you should enjoy at your age.
Yes, look, you will have such a beautiful life, so you don''t have to be sad for me at all.
Because I will greet my ending with a smile.
In the end, even a little arrogance of my master
Tiramisu, please live well.
Only this is my biggest belief in my life.

The writing on the second half of the letter was completely blurred by the spray.
ELO recognized it carefully before he could see the meaning.
After reciting the letter, ello looked up and looked at Ruichi, cocoa and pasta nearby.
These people also looked at each other and said nothing.
"Hoo..."
Ello exhaled, folded the letter carefully and stuffed it back into the envelope. Then he opened the thick book below again
Yes, in addition to a lot of asset information records above, the notes below do record the way to become a demon swordsman. There are many combat skills and methods. Even if arrow doesn''t know how to fight at all, he will immediately feel the painstaking efforts contained in the demon swordsman manual after reading only a few lines.
"Horse this guy..." for a long time, viscount Ruichi finally couldn''t help but say, "did he... Take the initiative to die? I don''t even know... He killed the whole family when he was a Templar? Before, I only knew that the Templar was a very noble profession... There could be no such thing... "
Ailuo shook his head slightly, put the book back in the package, thought about it, and said, "Viscount Ritchie, can we have a look at tiramisu''s room? We want to know if there is any clue in his room. "
Viscount Ruichi nodded, took the people out, turned a corner and arrived at another small room.
Pushing the door open, the interior decoration is almost no different from Capone''s room. After searching for a moment, no more information was collected in this small room.
There was no choice but to return to Capone''s room, weigh the letter in his hand, think about it, and say——
"Viscount Ritchie, all MAS Capone''s property was given to tiramisu by will. But the child tiramisu is dead now... So what will happen to his property? "
Of course, arrow knows how to deal with these assets, but it''s a kind of respect to ask now.
Viscount Ruichi rubbed his chin and said in embarrassment: "well... If there are no other heirs, it will naturally belong to the state, that is, to the royal family. President arrow, you won''t think about it, will you? "
If you can, ello is really excited.
After all, at a glance just now, the legacy of the demon swordsman is at least tens of thousands of gold coins! As long as you can take out a small part of it, it is enough to make your life much better.
But as soon as the idea arose, ello couldn''t help shaking his head.
After that, I can only laugh bitterly... After all, robbing the property of the dead is not a glorious thing anyway. And after reading such a letter, who can have the mood to do such a thing?
But
Arrow picked up the small package and said, "according to the imperial law, the inheritance of no heir shall be returned to the state. But the search for heirs will have to be done again after all. Viscount Ritchie, would you like to help find tiramisu''s relatives? "
Hearing what ello said, Ruichi quickly waved his hand and looked afraid: "spare me! I don''t want to have anything to do with the swordsman! And the money doesn''t belong to me at all now. If it is embezzled by fraud, the tax official will be in trouble once he finds out! I don''t want to do such a thankless thing. "
Ailuo thought about it, nodded, and then said, "in that case, let''s leave the search for tiramisu''s relatives to our mermaid song. I''ll ask the mayor to make an announcement in the name of Pelican town. In addition... Here is the manual of the demon swordsman. May I ask our guild to accept it? "
Ruichi was slightly stunned, stretched out his head, glanced at the pamphlet dragged by arrow, quickly waved his hand and said, "you take it, you take it all! I said I don''t like the swordsman very much, and I don''t want to have anything to do with them. Alas... This guy, Max, has been very smart all his life. Why did he fall into this obsession in the last few years? What a pity, what a pity... "
Then, seeing that there was nothing to deal with here, viscount Ruichi turned away with his hands on his back and a helpless expression.
Instead, arrow looked through the manual again, turned his head again, and glanced at all kinds of books scattered around the table.
"Alas... In this world, there is also such a situation that you are wholeheartedly for each other, but cause the worst consequences..."
————
After leaving Swan Castle, ELO, coco and suuta each carried a package filled with various documents and notes scattered by MAS Capone in the corner and on the table.
On the way back, as if to confirm, ello began to repeatedly check the list of MAS Capone''s heritage and slightly estimate the value in his heart.
Seeing that ello read it quickly, cocoa couldn''t help taking the first two steps and said with a sad face: "brother president, do we really want to help find the successor of brother tiramisu? But he is dead. How can we find out his successor Is there a lot of money in here? "
Arrow closed the list, smiled and said, "you girl, why are you so concerned about how much money people have? Anyway, none of this money will fall into the pocket of our mermaid song. "
Cocoa muttered and made a face at ello. The crisp tower on the other side also came forward and said, "President arrow, this is looking for an heir... How do we find it? Are we going to look all over the blue bay Empire? "
