When she was about to arrive at her destination, Sonia still held Griffith's hand tightly, and at the same time she forgot all about her knight. Her only consciousness was that she had finally fulfilled her duty, and because she behaved so well,
Be brave and immerse yourself in pure joy.
It wasn't until Griffith left the carriage and reached out his hand again to help the countess get out of the carriage that Sonia returned to reality in an instant.
From now on this hand is mine!
Sonia had a strange idea at the first moment, but after experiencing so many strong emotional impacts along the way, she was exhausted and entered a transcendent state.
All the responsibilities and happiness that had just occupied her brain disappeared, replaced by something that the Earl's daughter had been taught to respect since she was a child but was far away from, and had never really taken seriously.
"Griffith will be my husband!"
After Sonia completed the first step of holding hands, she inexplicably skipped the second and third steps. Perhaps it was because Griffith had become accustomed to spending time with her day and night, which made her feel that it was a matter of course.
thing.
She said to herself:
"It sounds inappropriate to marry your own knight. According to the guidance given to us by the oracle, the bond of Shutoral brings about the growth of self-awareness and personality, not marriage. Except for the special ones of the Xia Long family
In addition to inheritance, Beyeland's social circle is difficult to accept. Others would definitely think so...
"So Griffith is someone else?
"Like other knights, he can lead a team of cavalry with gleaming swords to face danger, but what about the special, unexpected, and beyond-normal variables that he faces alone?"
The passion for speculation, exploration, and pursuit of truth unique to the Larmore blood in Sonia's bones was ignited. She said to herself:
"I have met people who are great because of their birth, and I can also meet people who are great because of their character! I definitely don't like Griffith because of his lance and the medals on his breastplate. The days of war are almost the days of least confusion.
, many Shutoral are warriors on the battlefield, but that is the life trajectory guided by their destiny.
"A person's life is like moving the pieces on a chessboard, following the path drawn at birth. Dogs and parrots can also learn to use tools and recognize words and patterns. In this way, what is the difference between humans and animals?"
Sonia unconsciously held Griffith's arm as if she was going to a ball. She raised her head and looked at her knight with her blue eyes.
What's going on here?!
Less than a quarter of an hour ago, Sonia held his hand like a lover. This kind of thing was originally only between Griffith and Galadia. The situation was completely out of control, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
This situation.
Just when Griffith thought Sonia was going to say something to him, he was surprised to find that Sonia's eyes were shining with a lofty and serious light that only a philosopher can have. It was a pure, detached
The vulgar taste and the admirable spiritual charm make the knight who is good at killing people with a saber feel a little ashamed and even more confused.
"Griffith, I think~" Sonia slowly expressed her thoughts.
The knight's heartbeat was about to burst. Judging from his experience, the next scene was simply... Galadia and Krista had fought before.
"Griffith, I think the difference between humans and animals is that they transcend the limitations of the world!"
"Huh?" Griffith couldn't answer it for a while.
The Countess was still immersed in her own world, thoughtfully holding his arm and walking towards the temple of the Arcane Council.
…
The temple of the Arcane Council is located to the north of Beyelan. Geographically, it belongs to a nearby small city called Valen in the upper reaches of the Aiyu River. It is far away from the northwest corner of Beyeland's city wall across the river. Along the
The river flows towards the mouth of the sea, which is the Golden Horn and Sanssouci Palace.
This is not only a gathering place for spellcasters and the Extraordinary Alliance, but also the location of many higher education institutions, research centers and the headquarters of the Extraordinary Association. The reason why it is located outside the city center is because there are too many important buildings in Beyelan City.
The residents felt crowded and cramped, and the leaders of the occult world wanted a secluded place to gather, study, teach, and live.
The Temple was founded in the First Age by four demigods presiding over two wizards and their paladins and witcher allies. After experiencing the turmoil and unrest of that era, the demigods and their followers gradually grew apart.
The secular affairs no longer compete with the Senate for the right to rule the kingdom in the name of the Arcane Council. This makes the Arcane Council look more like the Holy See of spellcasters rather than a parliament.
A long, wide walking path leads people from the beautiful white stone streets and flowers to the temple. The palace is solemn and majestic, with five tall towers arranged in an arc on the top. High steps and five spires at the top.
They all come from ancient design inspirations, symbolizing the caster's escape from the mundane world and his advancement to a higher realm. The temple stands surrounded by the street market, but is isolated by the huge white stone square full of sacred atmosphere. Once the noisy noise comes here,
Then he quietly knelt on the ground and stepped back carefully.
Every trace hints that I am a different existence from you.
Huge statues of the four builders were decorated on both sides of the 72 steps at the entrance. Griffith walked under their feet and looked up, but was blinded by the sunlight on the top of the stone sculptures.
The temple was built on top of an ancient altar. It was a powerful psychic node covered by a huge black rock. In the beginning, the temple was a mountain made of huge rocks. The builders built a mountain on the top of the mountain and the top of the mountain.
A series of meditation halls, cloisters and long stone stairs. As time passed, mystical scholars transformed this place into a majestic and huge pyramid.
At the top of the pyramid are five independent mage towers, and four magic spiers named after the founders are arranged on the left and right, surrounding the arcane secret palace in the center that reaches straight into the sky. This magnificent and amazing building is the first in human history.
It’s a wonder, you can even see the urban area behind the Bijerland city wall from the top of the tower.
For thousands of years since the First Era, this place has been the center of human magical civilization. Only the most noble spellcasters will be granted permission to enter here. However, when the Larmore family has not yet obtained a seat in the Senate,
, they are already regular guests in the parliament.
"The founders here are also the spellcasters Trajan and Minerva, the famous branch of our Homon Watts branch, the paladin Roland and the demon hunter Sheila."
Sonia had come back from her meditation and said to Griffith, who didn't know much about this place.
The twelve members of the Arcane Council are the decision-makers with the highest authority. Today they will hear face-to-face reports from the Larmore family and Griffith on the Odessa incident.
Then, the two will attend the royal banquet together, and the prince's engagement is said to have made new progress. Griffith, who has handled the social tasks, will continue to compete with Galadia for the Sacrifice of the Chosen One, while Sonia will be busy elsewhere.
Under the escort of others, he went to Bremi Town to attend the Senate meeting.
Griffith is so busy! Sonia had a little complaint in her heart. Without her knight by her side, she always felt unspeakable uneasiness. This little emotion grew up little by little, pulling her towards
Looking into the depths of the temple.
Extremely powerful magical energy surged in the center of the Arcane Temple, so powerful that it could distort the will and mislead the senses. Sonia saw the solemn darkness. In the darkness, there seemed to be a pair of eyes peering there.
It seems that through those eyes, all worries can be solved. The worry that Griffith will leave is not a problem either.
"Sonya, Sonia!"
Griffith raised his hand and gently pressed the girl's shoulder.
Only then did the Countess wake up: "Ah, what's wrong? The feeling here is so strange, there is an indescribable happiness and excitement."
After experiencing the twisted demonic addiction of Canaan, Griffith was very wary of this kind of power. Without hesitation, he grabbed Sonia's little hand and dragged her towards the committee hall of the Arcane Council.
What is curious is that this noble meeting was not held in the highest and core arcane secret hall, but on an outer mage tower.
"Wait until I become, become extraordinary, phew~" The two of them climbed hundreds of steps along the winding stairs, which made Sonia exhausted. "I must learn the magic of flying and floating, ugh~"
"Can you really fly?" Griffith asked, "I'll carry you."
"No! What I mean is, I can't fly. Huh, just carry me on your back!"
Sonia finally came outside the committee meeting hall, straightened her hanging hair and adjusted her breathing: "Now I know why my mother didn't want to come to the meeting!"
The 12 powerful committee members sat in a circle in the circular conference room and watched the two reporters walk in.
They are Tiberion, the principal of Homemon Watts and the academic leader of today's mysterious world, "Magic Supreme" Salorian, Canaan's spokesperson and "Magic Supreme" Ms. Aviana Silver, Beacon Academy's
The person in charge and the Sequence 4 psychic "Foresight" Gryffindor, the Sequence 4 Paladin "Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre" Baldwin, the Sequence 4 Demon Hunter "Guardian of Order" Ms. Edina Lightblade, the Sequence 4 Saint
The official "Priest of Divine Punishment" and the Patriarch of the Holy Light Holy See, Francis, are the Sequence 4 Assassin "The Traveler" Salah, the Sequence 4 Monarchy "Law Controller" Provis, and the Sequence 4 Astrologer "Starry Sky Imprisonment"
Galilei.
After the elf archon Ferreras Villanoy and Odessa's chief wizard Avignon died one after another, these 10 demigods became the only ten Sequence 6s in the civilized world. Their existence was like a nebula.
The remaining two new members, Sequence 5 "Mysterious Lord" Yasol Ahan and Osidis, sat respectfully on one corner of the chair, like primary school students.
Not all the leaders of these mysterious worlds were present. In fact, except for the two Sequence 5 "mysterious lords" who were responsible for daily management, all the demigods only attended the meeting through psychic projection.
The powerful aura is isolated from the image, which makes the reporter less stressed.
Griffith saluted the dignitaries. When he raised his head, he found Ms. Avina tilting her head towards him with a smile, and then took a serious look at Sonia.
