The new semester of Homon Watts has begun. Like last time, many first-year students set off from Bayerland and took the Flying Leaf to the college. Due to the continuous incidents and threats in recent months, the school has arranged actual combat arrangements
Experienced professors accompanied him, and allowed Shutoral to be fully armed.
The atmosphere along the way was as solemn as a lead mass. All Schoutlar who stayed in Beyeland during the winter vacation participated in the attack on the veterans' camp, and many people's faces were filled with gloom and black lines that could not be removed.
Even Fiona was avoiding Lana and didn't even say a word to him along the way.
Griffith stood silently on the side of the ship. He tried to bury the bad memories in his heart. The incredible house of wonders allowed him to discover two new clues, completely diverting his attention.
One of them is located in Raven, and he is prepared to do a moderate investigation when he has the opportunity to pass by there. However, Krista's existence has been almost wiped out, and there must be a powerful existence behind this incident. Any investigation must be careful,
Try to avoid being noticed by the other party.
If the people behind the scenes were to realize that a trainee knight remembered something, they would probably get rid of Griffith as well.
In fact, they are probably already taking action.
Another clue is on this ship.
Isius de Crozier. He is an acquaintance and good friend of Sonia's inner circle. He is a half-hearted military strategist and a knight lover who does not understand cavalry at all.
Not long after Griffith arrived, he suggested that everyone go to the incredible House of Wonders and retrieve a memory there.
It was also there that everyone sensed clear malice. At first, everyone thought that the malice came from the attacker, Jaros of the Cook Gang. In subsequent actions, the Cook Gang was almost annihilated, and Griffith
I also got a very useful ring.
The official investigation results showed that the Cook gang was being used. Even if they used confessional agents, they still didn't know who was using them.
According to Fiona's investigation, the malice of outsiders will not be sensed by the incredible house of wonders. So, did the clear malice at that time come from the spirit world? No, if so, it would be difficult to explain the gang's actions. Someone present
It is possible that people knew in advance that malicious intent would arise, and arranged a gang attack to confuse the situation in order to avoid suspicion.
The first thing that can be ruled out is the three Shutorals. They have just arrived in Beyeland and have no time and resources to plan. Fiona who provided the clues can also be ruled out, if her clues are true.
Well, Sonia~ She was the top grader last semester, and she can do some mysterious and dangerous research. Everyone is quietly spreading that she also has small hobbies of historical research and archeology, so it is only a matter of time before she gets into trouble.
The most suspicious one is Isius. But why did he do this and what did he get?
Griffith thought. His first suspicion was that Isius was related to the bone ring.
The original holder of the bone ring had close contacts with Isis, the mage apprentice who attacked Galadia. They seemed to be planning a "holy cause" and may be members of a secret anti-noble organization.
The clues are becoming clearer.
Griffiths came to a reasonable suspicion that a certain resistance group was trying to attack the nobles of Beyeland, and Isius took advantage of them. But what was his motive? He was a noble, well-educated, and had a very good temper.
He's good, and he has a good relationship with everyone, so he doesn't look like a bad person on the surface.
There must be some important information left out. Griffith thought. Since a magical sealed object was used, Isius must have a conspiracy, or someone else is using and designing Isius, and trying to hide the secret behind it.
What did you get that day?
What could it be?
There is no use in guessing. Griffith has accumulated a lot of experience through his hobby of interrogating spies and traitors. If you want to suspect and investigate a certain person, then investigate his social relationships, financial situation and life trajectory.
An in-depth investigation into Isius is needed to find out who he is. Sonia should be able to provide a lot of information. They are in the same circle, and many secrets cannot be kept at all.
Will there be the shadow of the evil god behind him? Just like Neopolis, there are different forces fighting, and Isius is just his pawn. If that is the case, we must take precautions in advance and kill him in advance as a last resort.
"Hey."
"Griffith."
Fingers were poking his arm, interrupting his thoughts that were reaching a critical point.
"Huh?" Griffith raised his eyebrows in annoyance and glared over.
Galadia, who had walked across the whole deck to chat in the eyes of many people, was frightened by Griffith's gaze and felt particularly aggrieved. She had been busy in Beyelan throughout the winter vacation, even Canaan
Didn't go back.
"That, that, please have your condolences."
Miss Elf had conceived many topics and tactics, but she couldn't remember most of them when she was nervous. She stammered, a little aggrieved, and said the scene words that everyone had said to Griffith these days, "I heard Sonia say
Now, the Queen of the Moon and Starlight will bring eternal peace and sleep to the dead on Elodie and Neopolis, and all living creatures will be reunited in her divine kingdom."
"Thank you," Griffith gently pressed his forehead and tapped his chest six times.
The girl watched his expression seriously, trying to find some clues to continue chatting.
She opened her eyes wide and looked for a while, but found nothing...
In desperation, Galadia raised her right hand and hit her blank head, making a "dong" sound:
"Don't feel guilty about what happened to Beyelan. It's not your and Sonia's fault. The world is so cruel and full of injustice."
"Yeah." Griffith was thinking absentmindedly, his eyebrows almost knitted together, and he agreed seriously.
"..."
I can't talk any more.
The extremely embarrassed elf girl rubbed her long hair and began to activate her strongest ability.
"Why are you so fierce!"
"Huh? How could I?" Griffith's expression and tone suddenly became normal, and he asked vigilantly.
"You have such a fierce look in your eyes and you talk indifferently!"
"I'm sorry, I was thinking about something," Griffith realized what was wrong with him, "I was thinking about this series of events."
"snort!"
"I have some clues about the incredible House of Wonders." Griffith was fully back. But now it was Miss Elf's turn. She pricked up her ears and glared at him.
"I'll give you something delicious to eat."
"Don't eat!" Galadia refused.
Griffith took out the piece of chocolate handed out by the quartermaster from his pocket, carefully opened the paper package, and broke off a large piece.
"Before launching that abominable charge, the quartermaster gave us military rations called "chocolate" made from cocoa fruits, the only good thing that day." The sweet taste aroused Griffith's appetite, and he
His throat trembled, "It smells very similar to the shortbread you gave me. It must be delicious. I'll give you a piece."
"I know you like sweets. **** Ling glanced at the chocolate that had not yet touched a bite. He saw Griffith's little expression in his eyes and sighed softly, "This is not military ration. Everyone.
It is eaten as a snack and has become popular in my country and Beyeland.”
"Really!?" Griffith glanced at the small black sweet nugget in his hand in shock.
This is not military ration. Then the quartermaster will never give it to me for free in the future!? Why is it not military ration?
Galadia grabbed his hand, turned sideways, smoothed back the long hair that fell to her face, and stood a few centimeters away from Griffith, almost leaning on his shoulder, her lips slightly parted, her little smile
The little one took a bite.
The faint fragrance of hair, the long pointed ears gently brushing against Griffith's cheek, and the crisp sound of biting into pieces of chocolate are the horns that mark the fall.
The elf chewed the chocolate in small mouths, then grabbed it with a smile and stuffed it into Griffith's mouth: "Don't keep it in the future. Eat it as soon as you get it. It would be a pity if it melts."
"Woo!"
"You are really a staunch sweetheart!" Miss Elf watched Griffith put the chocolate into his mouth, took a small step back, turned to look at the calm sea, and drew with her toes on the deck.
Circle, "In my hometown, there is a small festival on February 14th. It's nothing. On that day, I will give some sweets to my friends. It is said that Beyeland has also begun to accept this custom recently."
"There are still such good days, Gu." Griffith, who had a mouth full of chocolate, hesitated and said, "Which kind do you want?"
"It has nothing to do with you. It's a girl's holiday," Galadia curled her fingers between the ends of her hair and whispered, "We will make some chocolate products, those materials that failed to make, well, we can make you
Deal with it."
"The material of failure is still chocolate, right?" Griffith thought about the dregs of the failed potion that could kill people, and then confirmed it.
"Yes~"
That's great! Griffith nodded happily.
Galadia breathed a sigh of relief as if something had settled on her mind, and turned around happily to look at the sea. A smile filled her mouth, and her hair was curled one after another on her fingertips.
They were very close, and the girl's shoulders were almost leaning against the chest of Griffith, who was standing sideways. Long pointed ears that human girls don't have protruded from her long silky hair.
She didn't seem to mind the close contact and would squeeze me when we walked side by side.
Griffith chewed the chocolate and looked at the elf in fascination. His eyes were naturally attracted by the charming curves of his chest, and then he realized that he was being rude and looked at the twirling hair and beautiful
Pointed ears.
The Flying Leaf turned northwest in the calm sea, and the hull tilted slightly to the port side.
The pointed ears suddenly came closer and brushed against Griffith's mouth.
There was an electric touch on my lips that I had never experienced before.
This, this taste is really wonderful!
Griffith's bones went numb for a moment, and he sighed irresistibly.
The hot air touched her earlobes, and Galadia let out an almost indiscernible hum. Her whole body trembled, and she fell limply into Griffith's arms.
"Don't."
The elf pushed him away almost as fast as lightning. In a panic tone that he had never heard before, his smart eyes first glanced at Griffith with suspicion, and then hurriedly glanced at the classmates not far away.
"You, what are you doing?"
Galadia covered her mouth with her hands, her pretty face turned red, she looked at him again tremblingly, and ran away without even answering.
