Galadia looked at Griffith with wide eyes. Her face turned to look of shock, shyness, happiness, helplessness and worry: "Griffith, you, do you know what you did?"
"Isn't that right..." Griffith fell into a brief thought, but quickly made up his mind, "Last time you told me that the school was planning a fall grade competition to have students who cast spells fight against each other. Reminded me."
"Don't change the subject, you bad guy."
"I'm not changing the subject," Griffith said, "There will be a biennial intramural competition this fall. It will be several days of dances and grand festivals, and the spellbreakers and paladins of Homemonworth will be Participate. I am a Lancer and a quasi-knight, so I can participate in the final knight duel."
Galadia quickly imagined the terrifying scene of a heavily armored knight charging towards Griffith at full speed with a four-meter lance in hand, and her face turned pale, "Hold that lance at high speed, you are crazy." Already? This is too barbaric! I don’t agree!”
Griffith finished eating the yellow peach, feeling extremely satisfied and calm. He said seriously: "I will win and give you the laurel crown. I couldn't explain it clearly before, but Raven's charge made me understand."
"Ah——!" The elf girl jumped up from her seat, "Griffith, what are you thinking about!"
Griffith's attitude was very firm, "According to tradition, the laurel crown can be presented by the winner to the most beautiful woman in Homemon Watts. Since everyone has to take action to determine the winner, as a knight, I cannot compromise on issues of principle and truth. Be humble. The laurel crown is only worthy of you if you wear it. So..."
This astonishing speech and development were completely unexpected by Galadia. She only came to send canned yellow peaches to express her condolences. She never thought that Griffith would choose this time to say this. She was so frightened that she covered her ears, folded her long pointed ears in half, shook her head and shouted, "I won't listen, I won't listen!"
Before Griffith could answer, an illusory figure appeared in the ward. He took shape beside the bed, startling the two people who were making a fuss.
"Professor Sidious!"
"elder brother?"
Powerful psychic energy and scorching eyes orbs were spinning around the extraordinary elf wizard. He glanced at his sister: "Why are you skipping class?"
"Ah, this." Galadia looked at her brother blankly, not knowing how to answer.
Sidious didn't wait for her answer. He turned his eyes and glanced at Griffith majestically: "Hey, useless loser, you lost tens of thousands of lives in Raven, and you haven't found out the enemy's identity yet." Intention, how can you have the nerve to come back alive?"
this……
This really hit Griffith's weakness. He lowered his head in shame, not knowing how to answer.
Galadia quickly looked at Griffith and her brother with evil eyes, stood between them, and said seriously to her brother: "Sidious, you can't say that, if he hadn't organized a team to attack the cult group, At the base, Raven’s casualties must be even more severe.”
"You really defend him," a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Sidious's face, "Garadia, do you need me to remind you that he is a human and has a low status even among his own people?"
"What happened to humans? What happened to their status?" the elf girl retorted dissatisfied, "He fights for the common people he has never met before, sticks to his beliefs and bottom line in the face of danger, has independent thoughts and rich emotions. Why would you put him Associated with humbleness?”
Sidious looked at her, his dissatisfied eyes gradually turning into calm. He moved the corners of his mouth slightly: "So, is this your answer?"
Without waiting for his sister to answer, he pressed Galadia's shoulders. The breeze enveloped them both, and their figures gradually became illusory.
Sidious waved his wand: "You have freedom of thought and choice. However, this is not a reason for you to skip class."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them disappeared without a trace in front of Griffith.
…
After recovering from his injuries, Griffith finally gathered the materials. He took off the bone ring, looked at it and threw it into the potion mixed with various mysterious materials.
The red stone that had lost its energy was embedded in the bone ring. Raven charged it a small amount and it became slightly more functional, giving Griffith new combat capabilities, which made him look forward to his next harvest.
Minos was soaked in the liquid, slowly absorbed the material, and began to bloom with dazzling brilliance and waves.
"Minos has detected that you are showing signs of promotion to a higher sequence. Minos holds information about this extraordinary path to promotion. Do you need it?"
"Of course, let's talk about it," Griffith said. Raven's battle made him feel that he had broken through some kind of shackles and could be promoted to a higher position at any time.
"As the highest sequence of the known Spellbreaker paths, Sequence 7 'Spellbreaker' will give you strong resistance against direct magic. Very few magics can break through the resistance defense to attack, restrain or affect you. ’s mind. You will gain the ability to interfere with spellcasting activities at close range, and even traumatize the caster’s mind to silence it for a certain period of time.
"Note that spellbreakers cannot resist the effects of indirect spellcasting that have already been formed, such as frozen ice spears, mud shaped into walls, etc. If they are not maintained by magic, you cannot directly disintegrate them through extraordinary abilities.
"During the promotion process, a person may master one or two powerful extraordinary abilities, which poses a real threat to all units that rely on psychic powers to fight."
Griffith interrupted: "I know these, tell me what kind of rituals and materials are needed to advance to Sequence 7 Spellbreaker."
Minos replied:
"The ritual required to advance to Sequence 7 'Spell Breaker' is not complicated. When you feel that you are about to break through the current sequence to achieve promotion, or take the initiative to take potions, you must fight with powerful spellcasters within 24 hours. The opponent The level must not be lower than Sequence 7. The more intense and cruel the battle, the more stable your abilities will be and the stronger your strength will be.
"If there are other ways of fighting against you during the battle, it will be more helpful for your growth."
OK, got it. Griffith immediately thought of a countermeasure.
All in all, I want to fight with Galadia when I want to be promoted! She keeps saying that she is a dual-attribute Extraordinary with super combat power. I want to beat her to tears!
Minos then began to list the materials needed for promotion:
"Minos has detected that your extraordinary characteristics are maturing rapidly. Even without external assistance, you will be eligible for promotion within a year. Even if the battle required for the promotion ceremony fails, you can challenge again after a period of time.
"If you want to try to prepare a promotion potion, the main material is one milligram of dragon blood, the auxiliary material is 10 grams of bear bile, 10 grams of shadow panther's pure blood, and 10 grams of violent owl beast's spinal fluid. The above-mentioned extraordinary The materials are mixed with one unit of extremely effective magic essence, shake it well and take it.”
"Dragon blood..." Griffith exclaimed, "Dragon is very rare. Where can I find dragon blood?"
"Beyelan officials and major magic academies have a large amount of dragon blood preserved," Minos seemed not to care about this issue at all. "The alternative path to potions is the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 7 spellbreakers, using the psychic flame. After melting, it is purified by the caster, supplemented by a 1:15 mixture of Ningshen Flower and Wind Breath Grass."
Minos was silent for a while and continued:
"According to the incomplete information possessed by Minos, in the era when the inheritance of spellbreakers has not been cut off, high-sequence spellbreakers possess the ability known as the 'inherent domain', which is how extraordinary people project their power to the outside world. The primary way. Unfortunately, the occult knowledge of the higher sequences of this pathway has been largely lost, and even its name is rarely known."
"Little known?" Griffith's eyes moved slightly, "Then do you know?"
"Minos knows the name of Sequence 6 of the Spellbreaker Path. Since you have provided Minos with the occult materials that he urgently needs, I can disclose it to you and provide a reference for your future growth."
"Reference? What reference can a name have?" Griffith asked.
"There is a mystical connection between the name of the Extraordinary Sequence and the Extraordinary Characteristics, which is a clue for the promotion of Extraordinary and Extraordinary Persons and the maintenance of stable characteristics," Minos said. "The six sequences of the Spell Breaker Path are named ——
"War Knight."
…
After returning to Homemonworth, Griffith immediately returned to his busy schoolwork. He and Galadia stopped talking after their previous conversation was interrupted. Although they could see each other every day, it was obvious that the elf lady had been avoiding this topic.
The first-year course is about to end in more than two months, and the dreaded final exam is about to come.
In addition, Griffith has another big headache to worry about, that is Sonia's 17th birthday is coming...
When he just came back from the Eastern Front, Sonia had already celebrated her 16th birthday, so there was no such problem. Moreover, the two of them were not familiar with each other at that time, so it was okay not to know. But this time it was impossible to fool him.
First of all, Griffith and Sonia have a soul contract. They are lords and knights with an extraordinary relationship, as well as classmates and good friends. Sonia is still a 16-year-old girl, and Griffith is only 18. If you forget the gift or If you mess up, you will be remembered for the rest of your life.
Secondly, Griffith is already a recipient of the Knight's Order of the Eagle with Silver Oak Leaves and is a lower knight who has reached the threshold. If he is indifferent to such an important day as his birthday and word spreads, he will not be far from social death.
Finally, he is no longer a poor soldier who has just been withdrawn from the front line. He has an income of 300 silver francs per month. It would be bad if he leaves a reputation of being stingy.
Griffith has a very valid reason to prepare Sonya's gift, and he needs to think about it quickly!
but! There is another serious concern...
Galadia's birthday is August 22nd, not long ago. The last birthday gift was scented tea, which was quite reasonable considering the relationship between the two at the time. However, this year cannot be fooled, and cannot be worse than the gift given to Sonia, otherwise Miss Elf will definitely be unhappy.
This incident also gave rise to a new problem, that is, there is a two-month gap between the two girls' birthdays. If Sonia's gift is too good and Galadia's expectations ferment for two months, no one can say what it will be like.
Griffith is like a general directing a battle, trudging forward in a difficult battle.
He had to launch an attack on a position in front of him, but failed to win. On the far horizon, the vague shadow of another more powerful enemy army had appeared. He must connect the two battles well. Failure in either one will result in catastrophe.
The worst thing that could happen is that he fails to win the first battle, retreats in a hurry, and is then caught in the middle and beaten violently by the second group of enemies.
However, when he thought about it, Griffith became more energetic. He considers himself a good commander and will never back down from such a challenge!
"I want to concentrate my forces and take down Sonia first. Bah, what am I talking about? Take down Sonia's birthday first. Well, then I'll take down Galadia!"
Having said that, what should be done specifically... Griffith has no experience in this kind of thing, the enemy situation is unknown, and the environment is unfamiliar. According to the staff course, you should stay away from such a battle.
