Until now, Griffith's true intelligence has been carefully concealed.
Sonia pushed a file over: "In the file of the Reserve Army Headquarters, you are the Sequence 8 "Agent" rather than the "Obstacle Breaker"; in addition, the file records that you obtained the Water Goddess's Blessed, you can use advanced ice armor to form a shield for combat."
Griffith was stunned for a moment: "Huh? And the Water Goddess? I have never been to her temple once."
Only a few acquaintances knew Griffith's true abilities, and he himself did not believe in the Water Goddess at all, and had never been to her temple once. When he thought that there were actually gods with relevant authority, he felt guilty.
"Of course, what you said is so rude!" Sonia criticized him with a smile, "Let's go another day."
…
The August sun is like fire.
Sonia stopped writing notes in her hand, rubbed her forehead and looked out the window.
In the past few days, she was rarely in a good mood and felt depressed for no reason.
The fighting in Verona became more intense. The rebels all over the place were as endless as growing out of the ground, overturning the castles of local nobles one after another.
The newspaper at hand read in large letters the headline: "Verona nobles are fleeing to the east coast."
Sonia also knew a lot of information that was not in the newspapers. As soon as the summer meeting of the two houses of Congress ended, Count Larmore said goodbye to his family, boarded a warship in the port, and went straight to the old town to join the fully-manned 6th Army. There he will bring the newly formed auxiliary corps to assist Count Chalon and the 10th Army in guarding the east coast, annihilating the rebels and maintaining order.
According to the decision of the summer meeting, the third Bayerland Army, the 4th Army, has also set off, also commanded by a well-known veteran. The implementation of important national policies and proposals depends on these three powerful legions.
War is so close.
The count didn't say anything to his acquaintances, but made a few casual comments, thinking that the local rebels were not worth mentioning. Count William de La Mole is one of the most famous generals in the world. Naturally, everyone was relieved when he said this, and familiar dignitaries offered their warm blessings.
Countess Elena de La Mole was not worried at all. While her husband is away from Bijaland, she will take charge of the affairs here.
However, in the past two days, the count’s letter asked Sonia a confused question:
"When will Griffith return? After he returns, he will join Professor Heinz as soon as possible to familiarize himself with the Storm Troopers Squadron and the 603 Technical Experiment Squadron."
The letter didn't say anything in detail. Sonia felt confused.
It was Galadia's birthday party. Griffith also went to deliver gifts on behalf of Lamore House. How could he come back early? Did Dad forget something again?
Professor Heinz has been helping Dad with advice over the years, and there is even news that he will serve as Chief of Staff on the Western Front. School started when Griffith came back. Could it be that the war situation in Verona is actually very serious and they need their help?
"Fiona, is there any news from Count Sharon?" Sonia, who came back from her thoughts, worriedly touched the hand of her best friend across the desk. After returning from the Bellomont ruins, the two spent most of this summer vacation together.
"No way~ He only wrote a letter, and my mother has already suspected whether he hooked up with another woman there. She will go to Old Town to question him in person in the next two days!" Fiona sighed, "Humph, it's all... It’s an excuse. I must be thinking about my man and it’s too late. I don’t know about them yet.”
"How's the war going there?"
"It doesn't look like much. They haven't wiped out the battle for several months, and they have sent two more legions. The rebels are not powerful. I understand that the local nobles can't handle them. Why can't my dad suppress them? Sure enough, I am the only one who can't suppress them." He is the most powerful in the family!"
You were so reckless that you penetrated the rebels. Griffith and Lasalle were scared to death around you. Sonia criticized her in her mind.
Speaking of Griffith, what is he doing now? Did you have fun with Galadia? Canaan must be beautiful. I really want to go too...
Sonia thought about things aimlessly and scribbled on her notebook.
If Dad recruits Griffith to go to the front line of Verona, should I stop him... If it is Griffith, he may become famous in the war. Dad said privately that he will be a good commander, but he needs to be tempered. .
Dad and his friends received some Verona noble inheritance, one of which was the ancient de Ravenel family that had cut off its heirs, and Griffith was one of the candidate heirs. This name is really nice, but Griffith must pay a lot of money to get it. Dad won't be so generous.
De Ravenel... Madame de Ravenel, what a lovely name.
ah! What am I thinking!
Sonia's face turned red and she looked down at her scribblings in her notes.
The charcoal pencil vividly drew Griffith's profile. The unintentional brush strokes left sharp sightlines and resolute outlines on the paper, truly depicting his decisiveness, determination, extreme rationality and strong self-confidence.
Sonia closed the notebook with a snap and glanced nervously at Fiona opposite.
"Oh, Sonia, have you started drawing comics too? I think your drawing is very good!" Fiona just glanced at it without seeing clearly, "What are you drawing? Let me see!"
Sonia's cheeks were red from her cheeks to her ears, and she was so nervous that she couldn't say a word. If anyone wants to take away her notebook, even if it is a god, she will fight to the end.
If Fiona comes to snatch it, she will fight Fiona!
"Don't be embarrassed! This is a very good thing!" Fiona said without thinking it was a big deal.
It's a very good thing... How will I behave if this word spreads!
"Here, let me show you what I drew!" Fiona opened her notebook and showed it to her best friend openly.
Sonia took a look at it. It had green outlines, simple composition, and poor painting skills, but it looked pleasing to the eye. She couldn't help but ask:
"This is?"
"A continuous four-frame painting. This is Rana, I'm pretty good at painting, right?"
"really not bad."
Sonia looked at Fiona with admiration. She is so brave, I don't dare to draw my own Shutoral, others will see it.
Sonia turned back a page and found that the boy in the album looked familiar. She exclaimed: "Isn't this Griffith?"
"That's right!" Fiona nodded approvingly, "It seems that I have drawn his temperament."
You, how could you! Sonia was stunned and angry. Is Fiona trying to trick Griffith? You did win the victory together, but you can't do this! Aren't you my best friend! Griffith is my knight!
Anger and unwillingness were brewing like never before. Sonia felt as if she was watching the canary being snatched away by a sneaky little wild cat. She almost took off her shoes and threw it away.
She looked at her good friend seriously, knowing that she had to talk to her about this matter.
Let Fiona know that Mrs. de Ravenel is not so easy to do!
"Come on, look at the third page!" Fiona didn't pay attention to her expression at all, as if she was eager to share a secret that she had hidden in her heart for a long time.
Sonia looked at it and jumped up from her seat in shock: "Why are they hugging each other?!"
"Hehehe," Fiona smiled like a flower, "This is the latest genre technique and narrative, the personal notebook painting method.
"Now, hey, let's get to the climax!
"Cover your mouth!"
…
Griffith once again sailed across the Sea of Tranquility, this time heading north along the River Tirne, taking the water route directly to Canaan. Without friends to accompany me, the long journey is peaceful and boring...
It was supposed to be calm and boring.
“Determination is nothing but a slave to memory, it will change at will according to your memory.”
oh--! This book is so interesting, "Ann Hathaway", no wonder my father-in-law, ah, no wonder the consul likes it! Griffith stroked the cover. The author whose pen name is "Hui Ge" really has a profound mind and can understand all characters and passions.
Archon Villanoy loved these works.
At the beginning, Griffith, who felt deeply pressed for time and heavy tasks after reading these two thick books, was like an examinee who was still trying to answer questions after the bell rang after the exam. He read "Ann Hathaway" from morning to night. and "The Tempest." It didn't take long for him to become completely addicted.
"When we shed this dying skin,
"What dreams will come in the sleep of death?
"It makes us hesitate,
"Making us willing to endure long-term disasters,
"Otherwise, who would tolerate all kinds of torture in the world?
“Such as the government of a tyrant, the arrogance of the proud, the pain of a broken love, the arrogance of laws, the humiliation of corrupt officials, or the humiliation of mediocre people,
"What if he could simply kill him with one blow?
"Who else would be willing to work as a cow or a horse?"
He recited excitedly and loudly, and the passengers around him took a detour.
He didn't know when it started, but he suddenly found that it was very touching for a person to recite high-spirited and strange lines to the vast sea.
He repeated the dialogue in the book and was deeply immersed in it. The other passengers watched in horror as the heavily armed officer faced the sea and said some strange words in a formal manner, thinking he was crazy. Everyone reported to the captain one after another that the officers on the ship must be followers of the evil god.
The captain looked carefully and found that the whole ship together might not be able to defeat him, so he could only tell everyone to go around.
In this way, after killing his passion on the deck during the day, Griffith began to worry about gains and losses again at night.
He checked his cavalry uniform to see if there was any loose threads or damage, and looked through the gift for Miss Elf. He felt good for a while, and felt bad for a while.
This is a ring customized with great effort and cost by the skilled craftsmen of Beyeland. The mithril ring setting uses the extraordinary characteristics of the puppet master as a gemstone, which allows the ring bearer to control and summon mysterious creatures and The abilities of plants are very suitable for Extraordinaries like Galadia who have weak defenses.
It's just that this is a ring. Naturally, Miss Elf can't wear it on her ring finger. That's something only engaged couples can do. It can only be worn on the middle finger, which means that you have a passionate lover.
What to do!
Whenever he looked at rings and gems, Griffith began to worry about gains and losses.
Why did I prepare such a gift! Once such a gift is given, I, I will have a showdown with her in Canaan!
