"I see."
Sonia, who was beside the hospital bed, fell into deep thought after hearing what happened. Galadia peeled a piece of apple and stuffed it into the mouth of Griffith on the hospital bed, and then gnawed the remaining part herself.
Griffith has long since recovered from his injuries, but the school believed that he might have been irreversibly contaminated and insisted that he stay in bed for recuperation and undergo isolation.
Sonia's face showed a rare solemn look:
"Aaron Lentilus is called the Son of Prophecy, and his growth experience is still a mystery. According to Iluvash's prophecy, the unspeakable man will be defeated in his hands, and the powers of light and darkness will
Balanced through his hand and will.
"As soon as he learned of the prophecy, that man personally planned and executed the massacre of the Lentilus family. On that terrifying night, that man and twelve of his men entered the territory of Lentilus.
Executor.
"When Headmaster Tiberion, Lord Salorian, His Majesty Francis and the ruler of Canaan arrived with the strongest support force they could muster, it was too late. The only survivors in the manor were
Aaron alone.”
Griffith lay on the hospital bed, holding his breath and listening to the girl's narration. This was a historical detail that he had never heard before, and even Galadia was quiet.
"My father was also among the group. Their investigation found that Lendirus' tribesmen and allies had already ambushed there. They arranged an unknown mysterious ritual, carried out brave and desperate resistance, and eliminated all executions.
person, but no one can resist that person's unparalleled malice.
"Unexpectedly, the person's aura and body were also shattered. The horrific psychic remnants of his soul and body being torn apart were detected at the scene, originating from the most powerful and evil curse he created.
"Immediate death verdict."
A near-godlike being was torn apart by a curse? Griffith couldn't believe it. These powerful beings all had countless protective sacred weapons and physical defense measures against demons and demons. How could they be wiped out by a curse?
Noticing the confusion on Griffith's face, Galadia said softly:
"The power of instant death judgment is that it is exempt from the rules of this world. Its power takes precedence over many resistances and strengths. The user must have level 6 or above of meditation, inspiration, black magic and mythological knowledge to reach the threshold of cognition.
, as for the conditions of use, it is even unheard of.
"Under such a terrifying blow, the defense and resistance known to wizards are almost in vain. Although it is called a judgment, it is no different from the declaration of death. At least as far as I know."
Sonia nodded in approval. She gently rubbed the ends of her hair, her blue eyes flashing with thoughts and confusion:
"Since then, the man has never been seen again, and the official conclusion is that he was torn to pieces in a terrifying psychic storm, and the remaining parts were swept into the spirit world.
"But why? Why did Aaron survive but that man was defeated? My father is also curious, but today I seem to have got some answers.
"Lendirus received three levels of almost miraculous protection, namely:
"Illusive guardian spirit, high-level near-death protection and high-level damage reflection.
"After Griffith inflicted heavy injuries on him, the guardian spirit immediately launched a defense. Judging from the description, it was Aaron's mother, Ilia Lentilus. She was the favored one of a certain god, even though she had already
Although she died, she was still protecting her child. However, it was unclear how she could transform into that form;
"High-level near-death guardianship is one of the highest-level magic spells. It can be activated in critical moments to prevent fatal killings and transport the protected person to a safe area. But its power is not just that. The magic spell itself has
Perhaps this is the reason why even a terrifying weapon such as instant death judgment cannot kill Aaron immediately. I cannot understand the specific process and mechanism. Of course, it is also possible that high-level near-death guardianship cannot block instant death.
determination.
"Finally, Aaron's body has some kind of extremely high-level damage reflex. No matter how much damage is done to Aaron, he will receive the same level of feedback. Maybe, this is just my guess, that person is being affected by his own power.
torn into pieces."
So that's it, this makes me understand. Griffith was indifferent for a while and expressed his guess:
"I think, judging from what I experienced in the ruins, either Aaron was born chaotic and evil, or that person was not completely annihilated, and a part of him was lodged in Aaron's body waiting to be revived. In order to achieve this purpose, he
The remaining minions successively arranged attacks by mountain monsters and goblins, hoping to take advantage of the chaos and seize the Philosopher's Stone stored in Homemonworth."
"It's possible."
The two girls said together. Sonia glanced at Galadia and asked her to speak first.
"So, who attacked the Flying Leaf? Only a powerful being can summon that sea monster. The target should be Aaron, right?"
Sonia nodded and said:
"Yes, that sea monster is very powerful. What is powerful is not its power, but its existence itself. My father believes that it is a special mythical creature. Powerful wizards will fall into confusion and powerlessness when they witness it.
, seems to be specially used to restrain spellcasters. That night, Ms. Marian, who was traveling with us, was knowledgeable and wise, but she failed to make any effective response. Until Griffith and Lana drove the sea monster away
, she was at a loss.
"I think there are two possibilities:
"First, some people may have suspected that Aaron has some kind of connection with that person. But before they get enough evidence, they will not stand up to attack Aaron who is protected by Homemon Watts, so they sent
That monster.
"In addition, that person may not have been truly destroyed, and may have even resurrected and gained the power to interfere in this world. For this reason, it is not impossible to eliminate the obstacles of the Son of Prophecy.
"The key to the problem is Aaron. It's hard to say whether he is intrinsically evil or controlled. After this incident, the school found him scarred in the hall of Homemon Watts and immediately sheltered him.
It will be difficult for him to investigate. Of course, the good news is that if he is really evil, he will be restrained in recent times due to the strict protection of Homemon Watts.
"Garadia, I think this matter should not be told to the principal. They firmly believe that Aaron is the son of the prophecy that brings balance to light and darkness. It may be detrimental to Griffith and us. This is also my father's opinion.
"
That's right... the three of them were silent together. I don't know what the girls were thinking, but what Griffith was thinking was very simple and clear.
I still have to find a chance to kill Aaron early?
Just when everyone was having weird thoughts, Fiona burst into the infirmary in a hurry.
"Hurry up, hurry up, we're almost here!"
The girl with blond hair reaching her waist wore a light and slim-fitting white silk skirt, with garlands on her head and wrists. She did not wear any jewelry, but carefully trimmed her eyebrows and applied lip gloss. Behind her, Rana held a large box and put her head on
All covered.
This is……
The two girls beside Griffith stood up, put away their worries and thoughts, untied the silver buttons on their robes and slowly took them off.
"You!" The trainee knight slapped the bed board, "Today is the Frost Festival, do you have a performance?!"
"Yes, a little chorus between the three of us."
"Just lie still and I will use the echo crystal to record it for you."
The three girls were wearing the same style of skirt. The hem of the skirt was still a long way from the knees. The light of their fair and slender legs when walking was dazzling. The elf and Sonia quickly touched up their makeup in front of the trainee knight and put on flower crowns.
and garland. The completely different temperaments and beauty are actually blended together, as if the Kingdom of God has descended on the mortal world.
"I want to go too!" Griffith shouted, "Even if I have rotted in hell, I will still crawl over with my rotten limbs."
…
Griffith felt completely recovered.
He sat down at the long table like everyone else and began to eat the Frost Festival feast.
At this time, a brownie pushed a cart and delivered large packages and letters to him.
He watched Brownie leave with vigilance, then opened the package and found that there was a gleaming round shield and a letter inside.
"Regarding the solution to the seizure of the mountain monster incident
"To first-year student, Shotolar, Griffith Blanton,
"You showed unparalleled courage and sense of responsibility in the battle against the mountain monster. In order to reward your merits, the additional deductions from your test scores this semester have been restored.
"In view of the fact that the extraordinary characteristics of the mountain monster have been decomposed during the investigation, the school has decided to grant you the cavalry shield 'Vanguard' as compensation after proper study.
"This round shield is made with appropriate amounts of fine gold and mithril. It is tougher than standard equipment and can greatly reduce the reaction force during impact. It can give the holder a tactical advantage against large creatures.
.
"Excellent craftsmanship gives the Vanguard Shield excellent maneuverability. You can try throwing it. The unique rare metal material can stun the target with a certain probability when it hits.
"To sum up, this is a piece of expensive and sophisticated equipment. Although it lacks the appropriate weapon soul to prevent it from possessing extraordinary characteristics, it is still sufficient to meet the requirements of most battles."
Not bad. Griffith flipped the reward over and over and found that this silver shield was of moderate weight and flexible to use. It also had the legion's eagle flag emblem painted on it in the center. It was very suitable for a lancer like him.
It would not be a bad idea to use this to replace the extraordinary characteristics of the mountain monster.
Griffith then opened a letter and found that it was a notice from the Earl of Larmore's Palace recording the settlement of the mission, and also attached several bills of exchange and certificates.
To be continued...
