Chapter 4 The first mysterious meeting in life Part 1
After making these arrangements, Griffith followed the count into the principal's conference room.
The principal and senior professors regularly hold small banquets and tea parties, inviting the top students of each grade to be guests. Galadia and Sonia have been well entertained here, and Aaron is a frequent guest at the parties.
Shutoral, who almost always struggled to pass the Charms course, would not be entertained. This was Griffith's first time in this place.
He followed the count through small rooms and waiting rooms, and when he saw the portraits of famous alumni on the wall and this year's top student results list, he felt panicked when he thought of the intermediate theory of magic that he didn't understand at all.
The principal probably won’t test me on anything in the middle of the meeting!
The count turned a corner in the beautiful living room and walked into a rather dull hall. The walls there were as thick as city walls, there were no windows, the floor was covered with red velvet, there were no long tables, but there were twelve sets of
There are tall and comfortable armchairs and small tables. Several unknown big shots smoke cigars and pipes here, making the place full of smoke.
No wonder the count wanted to go out for some fresh air... Griffith knew that the countess particularly hated the smell of smoke, and the count had no habit of smoking.
Count Larmore pointed to a small square stool and small table in the corner, which is where Griffith will sit.
Count Chalon followed closely in their footsteps and jumped in. He raised his chin towards Lamour and turned twice between the seats, probably forgetting where he was sitting.
He is really Fiona's biological father... Griffith couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Several more people came in, but the waiter did not announce them.
Why didn't you tell me your name? Was it to be wary of me? Griffith thought to himself. But that's not right. I don't know how they will record the meeting later. The only explanation is that this group has been planning for a long time and is already very familiar with each other.
Already.
Principal Tiberion and His Excellency Salorian walked out of the study room inside. Coming out with them was an old man with a kind appearance and a humble manner. He is the agent of His Majesty Francis of the Holy Light Church.
, Lord Corvallen. If anyone doesn’t know that he is the leader of the Punishers, they will definitely think of him as a kind elder.
People all over the room stood up and paid tribute to them.
Suddenly, Sidious came in. Now it seems that he is an agent of Canaan, and he came to Homemonworth not just 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 look was like a wild cat you hate so much, and it hangs in front of you every day, staring at your dried fish.
You can't kill it by meowing before it lays its claws.
Griffith immediately lowered his head.
“The Duke of De Mirantis has arrived.”
A servant suddenly came in to announce.
“Quiet, you idiot,” the Duke with extraordinary charisma came in, and his look made all the waiters retreat. Larmore, Charon and several big shots immediately stood up and greeted him with smiles on their faces.
Griffith thought for a long time before he figured out that Lord Mirantis was the Guardian Lord of the Southern Territory.
All twelve participants were present. Count William de La Mole first introduced:
“I present to your Lordships Commander Griffith Reserve Assault Squadron, Knight of the Order of the Eagle with Silver Oak Leaves,
"He once served on the Eastern Front and was one of the main persons responsible for the three incidents or battles in the Whispering Forest, Neopolis and Verona. He was the first in the first-year military command section of Homemon Watts and has
The ability to independently complete brigade-level combat, intelligence organization and staff work."
There was silence in the hall, and all eyes were fixed on Griffith, which made his whole body tingle.
"Oh, Earl, we all know that," Principal Tiberion said with a smile while stroking his white beard, "Stop praising your would-be knights. Student Griffith just needs to take notes. Next time
You can bring a girl to my party."
Everyone is seated and ready to start.
"I am honored to tell you all that the Tenth Legion will set off to land in Verona tomorrow." A man with a sinister expression said with a flattering smile, "Lancenis has done a good job."
“Shut up.” Duke Mirantis suddenly shouted.
Lancenis did well? A flash of lightning flashed in Griffith's brain.
Is Lansenis the spokesperson of Beyelan? I'm still surprised that I can actually survive a few rounds in the hands of the extraordinary sword master.
Is this person crazy? Why do you say this?
No, he wanted me to hear it on purpose!
Count Larmore stood up with a bad expression: "Griffith, go out first and wait in the reception room next to you."
“Who will forget the curse?” asked a big shot.
Sidious stood up immediately, pulled out a wand, grabbed Griffith with one hand and carried him out. Before going out, he turned around politely and said to the big shots present: "I'm here to help.
Mr. Knight-to-be, please forget something. My Lords, please discuss non-topic matters first."
Another person among the big shots present stood up, drew out his wand and pointed it at the participant who had just leaked the information: "Let me teach him a lesson."
…
“Stand still, trying to resist will only make you more painful,” Sidious gestured with his wand in front of him. “It is common for people to die or become dementia under the Oblivion Curse.”
“Galadia will not agree!” Griffith exclaimed.
“What does it matter to her?”
“If I forget about Galadia, she will be unhappy!” Griffith replied as he stood still.
Sidious snorted, raised his wand, and cast a spell without chanting.
“Click!”
A dazzling white light flashed in front of Griffith, and he was stunned.
“Do you remember?” asked the extraordinary wizard.
“Remember what?” Griffith looked confused, as if he had just woken up.
“What’s going on with Lancenis?”
“He is an extraordinary swordsman. He had a simple battle with me and destroyed Count Sindra’s army,” Griffith said with dull eyes. “I don’t know any other information.”
Sidious raised his right hand and slapped Griffith on the face:
"On the surface, Lancenis is a wandering swordsman. But his true identity is an MI5 agent directly under the Senate. He travels among various forces all year round. Not many people know this information. I will leak the information to you.
The people must have wanted to spread the conspiracy through rumors.
“The murdered extraordinary wizard Witzleben was an aristocratic mage born in Verona. His family had deep roots in the local area.
"After the initial attack, he may have started acting with the purpose of using the traveling group as bait to destroy the local rebels as soon as possible and thus remove the excuse for military intervention from Beyelan. If his plan succeeded, the two brigades of the Verona Army
Will cooperate with him and defeat the enemy with one blow.
“However, his plan failed. The rebels had already prepared weapons and equipment to snipe the extraordinary wizard.
“Agents from MI5 have infiltrated the Verona rebels. They provided weapons and intelligence assistance, and even participated in the battle themselves, overwhelming the legionnaires and defeating the local army commanded by Count Sindra from the north.
“The situation in Verona spiraled out of control. That’s about it.
“The person who leaked the information may not want you, who is under Count Larmour’s orders, to participate in the next mission, so he used a not very good method.”
Griffith was stunned when he heard this.
Sidious grabbed his collar and walked to the conference room: "Okay, I will erase your memory about the leaked information."
