Chapter 369 Sonia Wants a Gift

At dinner time, Griffith's friends came to visit.Everyone knows that Griffith's hut has finally been furnished, and they have long wanted to come and sit.Although there is an exam tomorrow, everyone can't play too hard, but after all, this place is much more free than the campus where students are not allowed to cook their own food.Lana and Murat set up a hot pot in the small yard, and brought a lot of spices and a whole sheep to prepare for a big meal.

The living room was covered with a fine cashmere rug from the East, the stairs and floors were replaced with a beautiful and strong walnut, and the backyard was re-lawned and the peach tree was tended.

Sonia looked around appreciatively, and handed some of the latest briefings to Griffith.

"Isn't Galadia coming?"

"She, she said she was going to rest today," Griffith said while rubbing his face with blurred palm prints, "Come, please visit the bedroom and attic."

With that, he invited the countess upstairs.Midian Maier cheerfully wanted to follow, but Ophelia grabbed the back of her neck and dragged her back from the stairs.

Griffith looked at the papers as he went upstairs.

The events at Metigny on December 12 had further consequences.Griffith's troops withdrew there after a fierce battle with the academy wizards and Extraordinary, leaving the other professors and employees of the school at a loss to deal with the aftermath.

In the middle of the night that day, an extraordinary commando team from Bayeran arrived and conducted a careful survey of the scene together with the school.There, some corpse fragments of "mutants" were found.

A secret organization attacked faster and more resolutely than the Bayeran military. It started the ceremony in Odessa and prepared to evacuate. First, it used a carriage full of kerosene, dust crystals and inflammables. Launch a peripheral attack, and then send a capable team of extraordinary people to break through to the interior of the academy's secret vault.

Explosive wagon with mystical ingredients added... a bit similar to my undead exploding ball, but much more powerful.Griffith was fascinated by the situation of the self-destructing carriage that attacked the school gate and fence.The investigation revealed that despite the presence of high-level spellcasters at the scene, these carriages still played a great role. The shock waves and fragments of the explosion caused extensive damage to the scene, and the chaos directly affected the school's support for the real direction of the attack.

The drivers driving the carriage were all killed immediately, and only a small part of the bodies were found after the explosion.If such an attack hits a regular army without means of control and deceleration, the casualties will definitely be unacceptably heavy.

Raiders who go deep into the vault of sealed items are even more powerful.According to investigations, they can change into the shape of monsters, grow squid tentacles, have cow hooves, and are covered with scales and hard skin. Their strength and physique are far superior to those of humans. .

Such lifeforms can no longer be called human beings, and have completely different abilities corresponding to extraordinary characteristics... The report gave them a formal title—mutant, specifically referring to those who are similar in appearance to human beings, and their bodies are mutated and Humans in a state of confusion.

The juvenile soldiers of the Westeros Special Forces that Griffith has encountered can transform into giant snakes, warriors that blend with armor, and dragon-like monitor lizards. Keep scruples and be careful.However, as the war ended and soldiers returned home, the technology for creating humanoid monsters seems to have spread.

The variation of the raiders who raided Metigny was more powerful and messy, like many different creatures kneaded together, and the technological progress was obvious.

So, does this mean there will be bigger and more powerful creatures, more indescribable?
"The assailant who attacked the Medini Academy and tried to seize the sealed item came from Verona." When Griffith was standing by the wall to read the documents, Sonia leaned over and probed his brain, and added.

"Huh?" Griffith looked at her, then flipped through the report in his hand, and saw that the relevant information was not very detailed.

The countess seems to have her own intelligence channel: "They are a group of professional mercenaries. According to the latest official records, they were hired by local nobles to resist the offensive of the rebels. Griffith, you have grown tall~"

Sonia was also tall, but had to stand on tiptoes and grab Griffith's arm to barely see the file.

Griffith came back to his senses, there was a heavy and elastic feeling on his arm, and he couldn't help touching the tip of his nose: "Sonia, you have grown up too."

"Well, I'm already 17 years old!" Sonia took off her slippers, walked briskly to the double bed and sat down, "It's such a comfortable bed! Did you choose it?"

Griffith didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile a few times in a "black-mouthed" way.Just when he was about to say something casually to deal with it, he couldn't help being stunned by the scene in front of him.

Sonia lay down on it as if at home.The soft bedding smells like sunlight, and there is also a very wonderful and pleasant fragrance, reminiscent of the rustling maple forest under the autumn colors, very familiar, but a little doubtful.

Is this the smell of Griffith... Sonia blushed suddenly.She turned around hastily, so that the knight who was close at hand could not see her pretty face that was about to get angry, and reached out to grab the pillow not far away, preparing to hide in.

The thick big pillow is hugged in my arms, warm, full and safe.Sonia curled up, not wanting to leave here even more.

However, when she thought that her knight was still watching her back, she became nervous again, worried that today's hairstyle would not look good, and wanted to pull the hem of her skirt, but she didn't dare...

What is Griffith doing?Why is he not talking, is he looking at me?Ugh--!Why did I lie on his bed? How inappropriate for a girl!

What was Griffith thinking?How did he not stop me, what should I do now?Whether to sit up or continue to lie down, well, how embarrassing!
Sonia's face was burning hot.She hugged the big pillow tightly, and subconsciously drilled her head under it.

what--!
Me, what have I done!
When Sonia realized that she was rolling on the bed of the boy she had the best relationship with and got into the pillow, her shame exploded.

At this moment, something seemed to scratch the tip of her nose.Sonia touched it with her hand and found a long hair.

A long black hair...

"!!!"

Sonia felt a sharp pain in her chest as if she had been hit by a bolt from the blue.She could hardly breathe when she thought of the fragrance like autumn leaves.

Why is Sonia suddenly in a bad mood...

Griffith was admiring Sonia's slender and graceful back just now, when he suddenly felt very clearly that the countess had faded from a shining state, and he didn't know why.He didn't dare to ask, so he hurriedly turned around and opened the cabinet, fiddled with it for a while, and took out a box from it.

"What are you doing?" Sonia turned around in a depressed mood, looking at her knight sadly.

"This is a gift I collected. I'm going to give it to everyone on the Frost Festival. Let me show you first." Griffith opened the box and laid out a row of golden eggs, and then took out a hammer. What to give you!"

Sonia took the small hammer, thought about it, and hit him with the hammer.

Then, another knock.
