Professor Salorian is waiting for Griffith.
The war knight sent his sister back to his residence and went to see his mentor alone.
After the hermit's return, the mysterious gatherings continued. But Griffith had many questions that he did not dare to raise at the meeting and urgently needed guidance.
The new ability "Stasis Cage" he mastered not long ago can create a powerful psychic barrier surrounding the target. The target placed inside will be deprived of five senses, lose judgment and ability to act. This must be the powerful control technique he mastered on the way to shaking the barrier of Sequence 5, an ability honed in countless battles.
Griffith originally thought so...
but! Saya also has the same power!
Saya's trip was not just about taking exams. She gained a new extraordinary power at the beginning of the year, very similar to Griffith's powers. However, she had never participated in a real battle and had no relevant training. This ability was given to her as if it were born out of thin air.
Therefore, this is not the power of the Spellbreaker.
"Mystery is hidden deep in our blood. The talent possessed by one person will produce similar specialties among brothers and sisters. From a mystical perspective, when each other's abilities are awakened, they may even have unexplainable premonitions."
Saya said. At first, it was just the moment when I tried to catch the flying ball during the game, that moment when everything seemed to stop.
At first, Saya thought it was her hallucination. Just like a specially trained boxer or a person falling off a cliff, the brief moment was stretched into several seconds. Saya thought so.
However, in that still space, she not only dodged the ball, she was able to move her whole body freely, and then she reached out and caught it!
This is not an illusion!
This mysterious ability happens to be adjacent to the time when Griffith obtained the "Stasis Cage" ability in the ruins of Anok. But its effect is close to controlling time and even all things. She can even use this ability to tease Desai of the Spellbreaker Path.
"If this power comes from a miracle, then Griffith, the still time you can control will be longer and longer!" Saya revealed her secret, "This power is with us, as natural as breathing. It’s as easy as opening a can and eating yellow peaches! It’s only natural that you can do this!
"The important thing is your 'knowledge' of this matter, the power of the blood of the residents of Neopolis flowing in our bodies. How much you firmly believe that it is a matter of course, how truly you can feel the relationship between time and you Tightly integrated.”
There is a saying on Neopolis Island where Griffith once lived——
If you leave your hometown when you are young, the memories of life on Neopolis will bring you back here. It may be that it is so different because of living here, or it may be that it is different because of living here.
Controlling time and even the ability to control the world, is this a gift?
No, from the beginning, Griffith's bloodline had divine foreshadowing buried in it. As a resident of Neopolis, his body contained the power that Alandel feared. In normal times, this power lurks, as if it doesn't exist.
However, when Griffith came close to a miracle and had a little value, this power awakened in him and his family!
This is strength and shackles.
…
Griffith came to the mage tower of the Supreme Magic, and Salorian was in the deep study. After returning from the Sacrifice of the Chosen One, Griffith reported immediately and often came to ask for advice and study.
"Good evening, mentor."
"Good evening, my student," the kind and wise demigod raised his head, "I feel that there are some interesting changes in you."
Griffith bowed in greeting: "I have three emblems of the chosen ones, and I feel that I will break through Sequence 5 at any time."
"Very good," Salorian nodded, "but I'm afraid you will soon have to pay the price for this unexpected power. The final battle of the Hand of God is about to begin. Where will you go?"
Griffith replied: "Verona, Naila is there. He has just come to Homemonworth to meet his sister, how bold. He will appear in Verona, possibly hiding among the rebels , to increase his strength, but he has the support of the Deathrattle Order, so I think his plot should be crushed as soon as possible."
The demigod was silent for a while, then stood up and walked towards the astrology room.
According to the previous agreement, Salorian will provide ways to pry into the secrets of extraordinary characteristics in order to unearth key clues. He placed the crystal of the properties of Prunus, whom Griffith had killed in the Battle of Odessa, on the observation instrument. The delicate and slender mithril frame is like an upper and lower pole, with the vertical axis aligned with the center of the earth, holding up the extraordinary wizard's crystal and connecting it with the observer's line of sight and a certain star in the sky.
"I'm ready. You can come and take a look at what promises the virtual world's life thread has made to its believers. There must be hidden clues to defeat the elf that is always in denial. But, before you look at it, Tell me about you.”
My thing... Griffith didn't know where to start for a while. He had just realized that the ancient god might have laid a clue about him, but he had not yet decided where to start.
"Tell me about that girl," the demigod said with a warm smile, "the person you lost in Odessa and never left."
Krista... Salorian is asking me about Krista. Why did he say this?
Yes, Krista is the core link in a series of conspiracies in the Void Realm's Life Weave. It was through her that the ritual of Odessa was initiated, giving birth to the first God's Hand.
Griffith pondered for a while, and slowly talked about Krista in his memory, about their wars and sacrifices in the east, and about Raven's conspiracy and return, until the end of that day.
"You are very candid, my student. She is a good girl."
Salorian nodded happily. He seemed to be completely immersed in the sad story, and his wise and profound eyes seemed hesitant to recall his own things. Gu Pang
For a moment, Griffith actually forgot that he was facing the most powerful human being in the world, and was just talking to an ordinary teacher and friend.
Soon, Salorian retracted his sentiments:
"I think you've learned enough from her tragedy -
“The gods give us gifts, otherworldly things, but they also place us in eternal chains; if they wish, the price must be paid.
"I see determination in you and will in your actions.
"The warriors of the gods are calling for miracles for this turbulent world. This is their honor and privilege. We, the unchosen ones, can wait for the miracle to come and everything will be fine as usual.
"Those who are willing to wait will be rewarded. I can wait, and so can you, but can the lovely elf lady wait?"
These words made Griffith tremble slightly. After the incident with Krista, this was his biggest worry.
He lowered his head, lost in thought.
Salorian noticed his worries and said gently:
"The God War has begun, and the actors for the first act have already appeared on stage. The audience is looking forward to a special, very special heroine at the climax of the script.
"Are you ready? The answer is not in your scabbard, my student."
"Please teach me the way to victory, mentor." Griffith said sincerely, and then talked about Naira's actions in the garden.
The demigod listened quietly and then answered:
"You have all the weapons you need, don't you?
"The first principle is simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius—"
“Ask everything: What is it? What is its essence.
"This person you are facing, what does he do?"
"He's in contention, Miracle," Griffith replied.
Salorian shook his head:
“No, that’s secondary.
"What is his original intention for doing this, and what wish does he want to fulfill?"
Griffith reviewed Naira's clues and replied: "Anger, revenge..."
"No, that's not how it should be. He longs," shouted Salorian. "That's who he is. How do we begin to long? Do we seek what we long for?"
"No, we are not looking, we are just..."
"Yes, we start with what we see every day," Salorian said, "and along the way, you will find a way to defeat him."
…
In order to eliminate the Dark Lord and his servants, the Senate of Bijalan mobilized extraordinary and extraordinary people from all over the world, assembled a reliable army, and surrounded and suppressed the rebels who haunted the barren mountains, rocks, and woods. These cunning locals were elusive, seizing every opportunity to attack the regular troops of Beyelan until they were in disarray and collapsed, and then, as if growing out of the ground, the rebels gathered to destroy them.
This terrible situation has not improved at all since last summer. During the autumn campaign, after the legions of Count Chalon and Larmour were transferred, Bijerland and the local allies only controlled some important strongholds, towns and nearby villages. It is difficult to tell who is in control of the more distant mountainous areas, forests, and villages.
By April 1445, spring camping at Homemonworth began. The first and second graders participated in clean-up activities with the local army to gain experience for the public security war that they would have to participate in sooner or later.
Ophelia, Nona, and Kurala are here for this. For their exploits in the Autumn Campaign, all three were awarded medals and commissioned military ranks, and became official reserve assault squadron commanders of the Assault Cavalry unit. The most famous among the second-year students of Homemon Watts, Griffith, Lana, Murat, and Russell, all received orders to prepare for the upcoming battle with the Kingslayer. Be prepared and have no time to look away.
Earlier, the local nobleman Count Dupont received a request for help from the lords and raised two thousand troops to wipe out the rebels. The rebels, who had been wandering like ghosts in the wilderness and hills, suddenly gathered, defeated Count Dupont and his army, and then besieged the Count's castle.
It is rare for rebels to defeat powerful local rebels. According to the agreement with Verona, Bayerland, as the protector, has the bounden duty to rescue the local nobles. General McDonald, the commander of the 4th Army, who had been waiting for a fighter opportunity since the New Year, was determined not to miss this opportunity.
The general set out from the base camp in the old town with 5,000 heavy infantry and 200 cavalry under his command. Verona's local auxiliary corps sent 2,000 auxiliary soldiers and 300 archers, as well as many porters, chariots and horses. He serves. These auxiliary regiments, chariots and horses were all requested by MacDonald and were very necessary for him to quickly cross the plains.
The other three legions were not yet ready. General Macdonald had already used his decisiveness in using armored cavalry to suppress the veterans on January 20, 1444, and ordered the 4th legion to deploy quickly along different roads. He dispatched his own cavalry commanders and ordered them to deploy in small groups near the roads to collect precise and detailed intelligence-the rebels' locations, numbers, weapons and equipment, and plans of action.
Soon, he got the information. The number of rebels who besieged Count Dupont's territory and army numbered ten thousand. Their equipment was complete, and the soldiers had muskets, bucklers, mail or leather armor, and could form formations like regular troops. The rebel cavalry also has hundreds of people and can engage in small-scale encounters with the official cavalry. However, the rebels seemed to have no heavy siege equipment and few extraordinary people. They could only build a wall outside the unfortunate Earl's castle in an attempt to force him to surrender.
After receiving this information, Macdonald immediately took action. In order to deploy the legions to the battlefield as quickly as possible, he decided to divide his troops into three parts, march along three almost parallel roads, keep in contact with each other, and prepare to attack the enemy from three sides at the same time.
"When camping, break the whole into pieces, and when marching, break the whole into pieces," the general explained to his commanders as if in class. "We must not only relieve the siege of the count, but also seize the main force of the rebels and prevent them from escaping." Eliminate them before entering the mountains."
