Chapter 196 Sequence 6 "War Knight"

Galadia stared at Griffith with wide eyes.Shocked, shy, happy, helpless and worried expressions turned on her face: "Griffith, you, do you know what you did?"

"Isn't that right..." Griffith fell into a brief moment of contemplation, but quickly made up his mind, "Last time you told me that the school was planning an autumn grade competition where spellcasters' classmates also fought each other. reminded me."

"Don't change the subject, big bastard."

"I didn't change the subject," Griffith said. "There will be a biennial intramural competition this fall. It's a few days of dances and a big festival, and the lawbreakers and paladins of Homenworth will Participate. I am a Lancer and a quasi-knight, so I can participate in the grand finale of the knight duel."

Galadia quickly imagined the terrifying scene of a knight on a heavily armored horse charging towards Griffith at full speed with a four-meter lance in his hand. Is it? This is too barbaric! I don't agree!"

Griffith finished eating the peaches, feeling very satisfied and calm.He said seriously: "I will win the victory and dedicate the laurel crown to you. I couldn't explain it clearly before, but Riven'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 the usual practice, the laurel wreath can be dedicated by the winner to the most beautiful woman in Hormonworth. Since everyone is going to compete, as a knight, I can't be on principle and truth." Humility. The laurel crown only deserves it if you wear it. So..."

This astonishing speech and development was completely beyond Galadia's expectations. She just came to send canned yellow peaches to express her condolences. Who would have thought that Griffith would pick this time to say this.She covered her ears in shock, 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 materialized beside the bed, startling the rowdy couple.

"Professor Sidious!"

"elder brother?"

The powerful psychic energy and the scorching magic ball spun around the extraordinary elf wizard, and he glanced at his sister: "Why are you skipping class?"

"Ah, this." Galadia stared blankly at her brother, not knowing how to answer.

Sidious didn't wait for her answer, turned his eyes back, and glanced at Griffith majesticly: "Hey, useless idiot, you lost tens of thousands of lives in Raven, and you haven't found out who the enemy is. Intention, how can I have the face 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 his brother with unfriendly eyes, stood between them, and said to his brother seriously: "Sidious, you can't say that, if he didn't organize a team to attack the cult group Base, Raven's casualties must be even more serious."

"You are really defending him," Sidious's face flashed a trace of dissatisfaction, "Galadea, do I need to remind you that he is a human being, and even his status is low among his people?"

"What's wrong with human beings? What's wrong with status?" The elf girl retorted dissatisfiedly, "He fights for civilians who have never met before, sticks to his beliefs and bottom line in the face of danger, has independent thoughts and rich emotions. Associated with humbleness?"

Sidious looked at her, his dissatisfied eyes gradually turning into calm.He moved the corner of his mouth slightly: "Then, is this your answer?"

Without waiting for his sister to answer, he pressed Galadia's shoulder.The breeze enveloped them, and their figures gradually became unreal.

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 his words fell, the two disappeared without a trace in front of Griffith.

……

Griffith, who recovered from his injuries, finally gathered the materials.He took off the bone ring, looked at it and threw it into the potion made of various mysterious materials.

Redstone that has lost its power is set into the bone ring.Raven's small amount of charging has a little function, which endows Griffith with new combat capabilities, which makes 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 bursts of waves.

"Minos has detected that you have signs of promotion to a higher sequence. Minos has information about the promotion of this extraordinary path, do you need it?"

"Of course, let's hear it." Griffith said.Raven's battle made him feel that he had broken through some kind of shackles, and he might be promoted to a higher position at any time.

"As the highest sequence of the known Spellbreaker pathway, Sequence 7 'Spellbreaker' will give you a strong resistance to direct-acting magic, very few magics can break through the defense of resistance to attack, bind or affect you mind.You will gain the ability to interfere with spellcasting activities at close range, and even traumatize the caster's mind for a certain period of time to silence.

"Note that spellbreakers can't resist the effects of indirect spells that have already formed, such as frozen ice spears, mud molded into walls, etc. If they don't rely on magic to maintain their form, you can't directly disintegrate them through extraordinary abilities.

"During the promotion process, one or two powerful extraordinary abilities may be mastered, which pose a real threat to all units that rely on spiritual power to fight."

Griffith interrupted it: "I know these, tell me what kind of rituals and materials are needed to be promoted to Sequence 7 lawbreakers."

Minos replied:

"The rituals required to advance to Sequence 7 'Spellbreaker' are 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 powerful spellcasters within 24 hours. Your 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 for Extraordinary to fight against you in battle, it will be more conducive to your growth."

OK, got it.Griffith immediately thought of a countermeasure.

All in all, just fight with Galadia when you want to be promoted!She has always said that she is a Extraordinary with dual attributes and has super fighting power, I want to beat her to tears!

Minos then proceeded to list the materials needed for promotion:
"Minos has detected that your Beyonder characteristics are rapidly maturing. Even without external assistance, you will be qualified for promotion within a year. Even if you fail the battle required for the promotion ceremony, you can challenge again after a period of time.

"If you want to prepare potions for promotion, the main material is 10 milligram of dragon's blood, the auxiliary materials are 10 grams of bear bile of Pat Bear, 10 grams of pure blood of shadow panthers, and [-] grams of spinal fluid of violent owl beasts. The above-mentioned extraordinary The material is fused with one unit of super effective magic essence, shake well and take it.”

"Dragon blood..." Griffith exclaimed, "Dragon is very rare, where can I find dragon blood?"

"Byeland officials and major magic academies have a large amount of dragon blood stored." Minos seemed not to care about this issue at all. After melting, it will be purified by the spell caster, and it will be prepared with a 7:1 mixture of Ningshenhua and Windbreath."

Minos was silent for a while, then continued:

"According to the incomplete information held by Minos, in the era when the inheritance of lawbreakers has not been cut off, high-sequence lawbreakers have the ability called 'inherent domain', which is the ability for extraordinary people of this path to project power to the outside world. The main way. Unfortunately, most of the mystical knowledge about the high sequence of this pathway has been lost, and even the name is rarely known."

"Little known?" Griffith's eyes moved slightly, "Then you know?"

"Minos knows the name of Sequence 6 of the lawbreaker pathway. Since you have provided the mystic materials that Minos 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, and it is a clue for the Extraordinary and the Extraordinary to promote and maintain the stability of their characteristics," Minos said, "The Sequence 6 of the Lawbreaker path is named ——

"War Knight."

……

After returning to Homewarts, Griffith immediately returned to his busy schoolwork.After the previous topic between him and Galadia was interrupted, he didn't continue. Although they could meet every day, it could be seen that Miss Elf had been avoiding this topic.

Year [-] classes are over two months away and the dreaded final exams are coming.

In addition, Griffith still has a major headache, that is, Sonia's 17th birthday is coming...

When he first came back from the Eastern Front, Sonia had already passed her 16th birthday, so there was no such problem, and the two of them were unfamiliar at that time, so it was okay if they didn't know each other.But this time it was impossible to fool the past.

First of all, Griffith and Sonia have a soul contract. They are lords and knights with an extraordinary relationship. They are also classmates and good friends. Sonia is still a 16-year-old girl, and Griffith is only 18 years old. If I mess it up, I'm afraid it won't be remembered for a lifetime.

Secondly, Griffith is already a recipient of the Order of the Eagle with Silver Oak Leaves, and is a low-ranking knight who has already stepped into the threshold. If he is indifferent to such an important day as his birthday, if word spreads, he will not be far from social death.

In the end, he was no longer a poor pawn who had just been withdrawn from the front line. With an income of 300 silver Lang a month, it would be bad to leave a reputation for being miserly.

Griffith has a very reasonable reason to prepare Sonia's gift, he has to think about it quickly!
but!One more serious concern...

Galadia's birthday is on August 8, not long ago.The last birthday gift was scented tea, which was reasonable considering the relationship between the two at that time.However, this year can't be fooled, it can't be worse than the gift for Sonia, otherwise Miss Elf will definitely be unhappy.

This incident also created a new problem, that is, there was a gap of two months between the birthdays of the two girls.If Sonia's gift is too good and Galadia's expectation is fermented for two months, no one can say what will happen.

Griffith is like a general commanding a battle, trudging through difficult battles.

He had no choice but to launch an attack on a position in front of him, but the outcome was unsuccessful. On the far horizon, another blurred shadow of a more powerful enemy army had appeared.He must connect the two battles well, and any failure will be a catastrophe.

The worst situation is that he failed the first battle, retreated after eating a nose, and then was caught in the middle of the second batch of enemies and beat him violently.

However, thinking about it this way, Griffith became more energetic.He considers himself a good commander, and he will never back down in the face of such a challenge!
"I want to concentrate my forces and take down Sonia first, ah bah, what am I talking about, take down Sonia's birthday first. Well, then go to clean up Galadia!"

Having said that, what should I do 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, such a battle should be avoided far away.

　If there is something to do on Sunday, let's post it first.
