Chapter 152 The First Mysterious Meeting Part One
After talking about these arrangements, Griffith followed the earl to the principal's conference room.

The principal and senior professors regularly hold small banquets and tea parties, and invite the top students of each grade to be guests.Both Galadia and Sonia have been well received here, and Aaron is a frequent guest at the party.

Shutoral, who was struggling to pass almost all the spell courses, would not be entertained. This was the first time for Griffith to come to this place.

He followed the earl through the small rooms and waiting rooms, saw the portraits of famous alumni on the wall and this year's honor student report card, and thought of the intermediate spell theory that he couldn't understand at all, and panicked in his heart.

The principal shouldn't test me in the middle of the meeting, right?

The count turned a corner in the handsome drawing-room and entered a rather dull hall.The walls there are as thick as city walls, without windows, and the floor is covered with red velvet. There are no long tables, but there are twelve sets of tall and comfortable armchairs and small tables.A few unknown bigwigs smoked cigars and pipes here, making the place a mess.

No wonder the Earl wanted to go out to get some air... Griffith knew that the Countess hated the smell of cigarettes, and the Earl had no habit of smoking.

Earl Lamor pointed to a small square stool and a small table in the corner, where Griffith and the others would sit.

Earl Chalon followed their footsteps and walked in bouncing.He raised his chin to Lamor, and turned twice between the seats, probably forgetting where he was sitting.

It's Fiona's real father... The corners of Griffith's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Then a few more came in, but the waiter didn't make any announcements.

Why didn't you report your name? Is it to guard against me?Griffith thought about it.But no, I don't know what they're going to do with minutes.The only explanation is that this group of people has planned for a long time and they are very familiar with each other.

Headmaster Tyburion and His Excellency Salorian came out from the study room inside.The one who came out with them was an old man with a kind appearance and a modest demeanor. He was the representative of the Church of the Holy Light under the Franciscan Crown, His Excellency Kervaren.If anyone doesn't know that he is the leader of the Punisher, he will definitely regard him as a kind elder.

The room full of people stood up and saluted them.

Then, Sidious came in.Now it seemed that he was the agent of Canaan, and he came to Homemonwarts not only to supervise his sister and teach.

The upper elf saw Griffith as soon as he entered the room, and gave him a complicated look.That kind of look, as if you really hate a wild cat, and it still hangs in front of you every day, staring at your dried fish and meowing that you can't kill it before it lays its claws.

Griffith immediately lowered his head.

"The Duke de Mirantis is here."

A servant came in suddenly to announce.

"Quiet, you idiot," the handsome Duke walked in, and all the waiters retreated with a single glance.La Moore, Xia Long and several important figures immediately stood up and greeted him with smiles on their faces.

Griffith thought for a while before he realized that Lord Mirantis was the guardian of the southern border.

All twelve participants were present.Count William de La Mole first introduced:
"I would like to introduce to my lords the recipient of the Silver Oak Leaf Knight Eagle, the captain of Griffith's Reserve Assault Squadron,
"He once served on the Eastern Front, and was one of the main persons in charge of the three incidents or battles in the Whispering Forest, Neopolis, and Verona. He is No.1 in the first-year military command section of Hormonworth, with The ability to independently complete brigade-level combat, intelligence organization, and staff work."

There was silence in the hall, all eyes were on Griffith, making him hairy.

"Oh, Earl, we all know that," Headmaster Tiberian said with a smile while stroking his white beard, "Stop praising your quasi-knight. Student Griffith just needs to keep a good record. Next time When I throw a party you can bring a girl to it."

Everyone sit down and get ready to start.

"I'm honored to tell my lords that the Tenth Legion will set off to land in Verona tomorrow." A man with a stern expression said with a flattering smile, "Lancenis has done a good job."

"Shut up." Duke Mirantis shouted suddenly.

Lanceris doing well?A bolt of lightning flashed through Griffith's mind.

Is Lansenis the spokesperson of Bayeran?I'm still surprised that I can walk a few rounds in the hands of the extraordinary sword master.

Is this man crazy, why would he say this?
No, he made me hear it on purpose!
Earl Lamor stood up with a bad face: "Griffith, you go out first and wait in the reception room next to you."

"Who will forget the charm?" asked a big man.

Sidious stood up immediately, pulled out a wand, grabbed Griffith with one hand and carried it out. Before going out, he turned around politely and said to the big shots present: "I will help Mr. Quasi-Knight, forget about some things, let’s discuss non-issue matters first, my lords.”

Another person stood up among the big figures present, drew out his wand and pointed at the participant who had just leaked information: "Let me teach him a lesson."

……

"Stand up, trying to resist will only make you more painful," Sidious gestured in front of him with his wand, "It is common for the Oblivion Curse to kill people or turn them into dementia."

"Galadia won't agree!" Griffith exclaimed.

"What's the matter with her?"

"If I forget about Galadia, she will be upset!" Griffith stood up and replied honestly.

Sidious snorted, raised his wand, and cast a spell without chanting.

"Crack!"

A dazzling white light flashed in front of Griffith, and the whole person was dizzy.

"Remember?" the extraordinary wizard asked.

"Remember what?" Griffith looked confused, as if he had just woken up.

"What about Lansenis?"

"He is an extraordinary swordsman. He simply fought against me and destroyed Earl Syndra's army," Griffith said with a dull gaze. "I don't know about other information."

Sidious raised his right hand and slapped Griffith on the face:

"On the surface, Lansenis is a wandering swordsman. But his real identity is an MI[-] agent directly under the Senate, wandering among various forces all the year round. There are not many people who know this information, let me leak it to you Some people must want to spread this conspiracy in the form of rumors.

"The extraordinary wizard Weitzlei who was murdered was originally a noble mage born in Verona. His family has deep roots in the local area.

"After the initial attack, he may have used the traveling group as a bait to destroy the local rebels as soon as possible, so as to remove the excuse of Bayeran's military intervention. If his plan is successful, the two brigades of the Verona Legion They will cooperate with him and defeat the enemy with one blow.

"However, his plan failed. The rebel army has long prepared weapons and equipment to snipe the extraordinary wizard.

"Agents from MI[-] have infiltrated the Verona rebels. They provided weapons and intelligence assistance, and even participated in the battle themselves, drowning the legion brigade and defeating the local army commanded by Count Syndra from the north.

"The situation in Verona got out of control because of that. That's about it.

"In addition, the person who leaked the information may not want you, who is under the orders of Earl Lamor, to participate in the next mission. They used a not-so-good method."

Griffith was stunned.

Sidious grabbed his collar and walked to the meeting room: "Okay, I will erase the memory of the leaked information for you."
