Baltimore Town was originally a town where professors and employees lived on campus, plus some residents who grew vegetables and fruits and provided simple services. The whole town was only as big as one street.
But, that was a long time ago.
The current town has not only built a cargo port, chamber of commerce, school and hospital, but also operates a beautiful shopping street on the hillside near the campus with pleasant scenery. You can find the most fashionable clothes and popular foods in Beyeland.
The town fully serves the noble wizards. Life here is very convenient, and some teachers even move their families to live in the town. In other words, you will meet acquaintances at any time when shopping here.
Griffith walked slowly, looking around warily.
Sonia walked briskly beside him. As she walked, she looked at the glass showcases along the street that were being prepared and asked out of the blue:
"Griffith, do you want to buy a house nearby? There are too many rules in Homewood, and there are indeed a lot of inconveniences. That's great~ Mom will never allow me to live outside alone."
"How should I put it? It has some special uses." Griffith thought about it. He was searching for real estate information not just to find a place to live off campus.
"This way, you can stay outside every Saturday and Sunday night, and come back on Monday morning!" Sonia has already fantasized about it. "Even if you play late, there will be no patrolling seniors to criticize you."
I didn't want to stay out all night. Griffith looked at her and didn't know how to proceed.
As Sonia spoke, she twirled around, and her flying skirt bloomed like petals: "You must find a house that can see the sea, and then leave me the key so that I can sneak out after class on Saturday."
, getting ready for the dance and dinner! It’s so exciting to think about it!”
Don't add drama to yourself! If the count finds out, won't he hang me? Griffith's heart thumped, and he realized that Sonia's fantasy must be stopped as soon as possible.
"Sonia, um, doesn't the countess not allow you to live outside?"
"Yes, but since you're here Griffith, I won't be living alone, right?"
Griffith felt as if he had been hit on the head with a hammer, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.
"And Galadia, Fiona, Lana and the others will also come. In this way, Berthier and the others can't make excuses if they don't come as guests. How great!" The more the countess thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was impeccable.
"Sonia, do you still remember that this is my territory..."
"What's wrong~ The territory of my vassals is my territory!" Sonia said proudly, "This is what is written in the rule book of the Mysterious King!"
It's too late to say anything now, they have already arrived at the entrance of the ice cream shop, waiting to open. Sonia's starry eyes entered a deep fantasy:
"It's not good to indulge in fun, as people will neglect their studies.
"We need to set a rule that people who fail the exam or regress are not allowed to enter, so that everyone will be motivated."
This has already brought into the hostess's thinking mode. Griffith hit his forehead hard.
At this time, the store door opened. Griffith hurriedly took two steps and opened the door for the girls: "Rum grape, hazelnut milk and black cocoa, what flavor do you want?"
The colorful ice cream is packed in an insulated iron can. There is also a small cone cone made by mixing egg whites and sugar and baking it. After selecting the ice cream, scoop out a big scoop and put it into the cone, and you can carry it while walking.
eat.
Sonia stared intently at the glass plate covering the ice cream, looking at this and that as if making a major decision in life.
"It's not good to eat ice cream so early," Griffith thought for a moment, "I suggest you eat less and leave the rest to me."
"What a beautiful idea~" Sonia hummed softly and pointed to the small jar of rum grapes.
"Aren't you feeling well?" Griffith reminded again.
Sonia's face suddenly turned red and she whispered: "Just eat one, it'll be fine."
She looked at the ice cream wholeheartedly, then carefully took it to the chair by the window and sat down. She took a small sip with joy and immediately closed her eyes and trembled.
"Wow, it's so cold!"
…
After eating the ice cream, they started shopping on the street. This shopping street extended from south to north, and there was a beautiful residence on the gentle slope at the end of the road.
Once the girl entered the shopping mood, Griffith relaxed. He walked behind carrying the things and searched along Beria Street not far away, and soon found an old warehouse near the intersection.
Judging from the house number, it should be No. 22, Beria Street.
The warehouse is very strong, but it is hidden in an alley ten meters deep. There are obvious magic fluctuations in the air. Griffith took out the pendant box that had been carrying a lock of Elodie's hair, and used the mithril pendant to carry it.
A divination - a clue about Elodie.
Divination responded immediately and confirmed that the hidden clues were in this dusty warehouse. Dr. Zion and his animal-like plant materials may have left messages there.
Griffith decided to go there to look for clues as soon as he had free time. However, the girl was very interested and tried on clothes and shoes from one store to another. It was almost noon.
While waiting for the clerk to pack the shoes and hats, Sonia's long reflex arc suddenly came to her senses.
"Griffith, do you mind if everyone goes to your house to make a fuss and eat up all the delicious food?"
Everyone would mind it, right... Griffith didn't answer, but his expression pretty much meant the same thing.
Sonia patted him on the shoulder and said: "You can think of yourself as Griffith Brandon. However, you are likely to become Griffith de Ravenel in the near future."
"This matter is still uncertain." Griffith shook his head. Obtaining a noble title requires a lot of merit, and the competition is also very fierce.
"No, that's not the idea." Sonia held his arm and analyzed it seriously, "You first became Ravenel before you could have this surname."
Griffith's mind was suddenly illuminated. He realized that after Sonia had been in a daze all morning, what he was saying now was something he had never thought of before.
The girl continued:
"Byeland's living room is the real power. Although Dad hates the big shots who come to the house every day, he still welcomes them. Even if he knows that some people are spies sent to monitor him, he will get along with them calmly. If he wants to come tomorrow
There was a coup or war, and Mom and Dad would have gotten the news from the living room two weeks ago and sold off all their securities accounts.
"Homonworth is a very special place. If Sheila, Trajan and the students from Roland Branch met us in normal times, we might just have an ordinary relationship. We are also classmates from Minerva, and Solo and I
Countess Lan would probably quarrel whenever they meet because of their different political views.
"However, it is possible for everyone to become lifelong friends here. Only here can everyone put aside the disputes in Beyeland and get along harmoniously. Even if they become enemies in the future, the friendship between classmates will make everyone retain some sympathy.
"Due to various restrictions, there is no Beyeland living room in Homewood. Most students from Minerva House will not be allowed to spend the night outside until they graduate. Even if other students have a private residence, they will not be allowed to stay outside."
to all kinds of friends.
"But, Griffith, you are different. You have the right to make decisions freely, and everyone has a good relationship with you. Many girls from the upper and lower grades want to get to know you. First-year student Shutoral
There are many people who admire you.
"You see, Count Chalon, Count Urenas, and many great wizards, generals, viscounts and baron heirs are all your guests and friends. Even if what you get is not Ravenel, then as a substitute
The title and surname can only be better!
"Go and buy a beautiful little house. It doesn't have to be big, but it should have a garden, and the living room should be spacious and comfortable. If all the friends of the Earl's family are invited, my Griffith will be Griffith from now on.
Count of Fez, your fiefdom is in Glamorgan or Falconia!"
Griffith was completely convinced. This was not his original plan, but after listening to Sonia's long speech, his original plan also changed.
"Phew, I'm so excited," Sonia stroked her beating chest, "I really want to play a game of King of Mysteries now."
"Let's go eat mutton hot pot!" Griffith needs to digest the suggestion just now and further improve the follow-up plan.
Just as Sonia was about to respond, her face suddenly turned pale, and her thin eyebrows knitted together. She covered her belly and sweat poured down her face.
"It hurts, ah, this..."
Griffith panicked for a moment.
"Sure enough, you can't eat at this time~" Sonia grabbed Griffith's arm, "I'm a little, ouch."
…
Although I don’t know what happened, Sonia suddenly suffered from gastroenteritis.
Griffith was free for a while. He stored the things he just bought and went directly to the warehouse on Beria Street.
He looked around in the distant streets for a while, without testing the strength of the defense. Directly provoking the magic barrier set up by the demigods would be quickly noticed, and the spell-breaking power of Sequence 7 would probably not be able to break it.
He was wandering in the alley next to him, ready to look around to see what was going on. Soon, he saw two children playing football there.
"Kids, come here." Griffith took out a handful of centimeters and tossed them in his hand. "Let's play a game. If you win, this is yours."
"What, what is it?"
Griffith tiptoed their ball and threw a few coins to them: "Did you see the alley across the street? I threw the ball out. If you pick it up within 30 seconds, these coins will
It’s yours.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the ball towards the alley without waiting for the children to reply.
Under the powerful force of the Sequence 7 Extraordinary, the ball smashed towards the warehouse door like a meteorite. However, vague ripples appeared in the air, and the flying ball seemed to enter the water and became slower and slower. Finally, it was
