Chapter 22 Shutorals counterattack and the power of the extraordinary(1/2)
Fiona pretended that nothing happened or saw anything, and sat on the soft chair opposite her best friend with a calm face.
Actually, she was shocked. What happened to Sonia? Seasick? Impossible, how could an extraordinary person still get seasick? Could it be...
Griffith, you have such thick eyebrows and big eyes, you can’t imagine that you are also a bad guy... Impossible, impossible, this is amazing. I must have misunderstood something...
Sonia has calmed down after finishing spitting out the paper, and has gained peace from the depths of her soul.
Had I known it, I would have torn it into pieces and thrown it into the river~ Why should I eat it...
Fortunately, the fraction part has been integrated into the beautiful Vero River. Sonia pretended that nothing happened, folded the remaining part of the paper and stuffed it into the small bag.
This matter is now concluded, and now comes the issue of reporting.
The report can be submitted after returning to Homemonworth, but without Griffiths coming along he won't be able to compile the materials needed for the report!
Fiona, who was sitting opposite, had been carefully observing her good friend's expression for a while. She smiled and reached out to touch her spread blond hair: "What are you thinking about?"
Sonia thought for a while and suddenly raised her head, "Should I write to Griffith and explain the situation?"
“Pfft!” Fiona just picked up the black tea at hand, took a small sip, and almost spit it out, “Isn’t it a bit too direct?”
Direct? Why is there a problem with directness? Sonia tilted her head in confusion and adjusted her thoughts: "I thought about it seriously. If I don't explain it clearly to him, it will be too late."
"Ahem~" Fiona choked and hurriedly put down the teacup, looking at her good friend with wide eyes, as if she no longer knew her. A thought rolled in Fiona's heart, Sonia, you have developed like this
Quick? You and Griffith have only known each other for a few months! It's not like Lana and I.
"But there are so many things I want to say, and I don't know where to start." Sonia turned her head and looked into the distance outside the boat. The breeze blew her light blond hair on her shoulders, and the quiet river reflected the mountains in early spring.
Flowing in her blue eyes, it was as if Fengyue's sorrow and longing were melting away.
No, no, is it true? Even if I misunderstood something just now, this look is extraordinary! Did you really have something going on with Griffith? Fiona was shocked, the look in her close friend's eyes
Wang Chunshui filled her with a sense of responsibility and carefully probed: "So urgent?"
“Well, it’s very urgent, we can’t delay it any longer.” Sonia, who had just failed the exam, didn’t dare to be careless.
"I really didn't expect it," Fiona rubbed her forehead, "Is there anyone competing with you? Galadia?"
The elves are different from us. She will go back to her own country in the future, and her grades at Homemon Watts may not be important. Sonia sighed softly and said casually: "Her conditions are too good, and the starting point is the same as mine."
no the same."
Fiona began to worry about her good friend, very, very worried. Indeed, the elf has so many talents, beauty, elegance, unparalleled talent and noble status, and sings well, plus she and Griffith adventured in the East together.
Experience, Sonia's situation is grim.
Griffith, you sinful villain! What to do! What to do? Fiona realized the difficulty and seriousness of the struggle situation. She opened her mouth, but there was something stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak, so she hurriedly pursed her lips again.
I took a sip of black tea.
Sonia smoothed her long hair and suddenly made up her mind. She looked at her good friend seriously and asked: "Can you lend me Lana?"
Use Lana, use it! What expansion is this? Fiona almost fainted: "Are you serious?"
"Well," the daughter of the Larmore family nodded very seriously, "He is also quite powerful. I won't spend a lot of time paying it back to you."
What nonsense! I have never dreamed of this kind of thing...I only think about it occasionally! Fiona's face immediately turned red, she stared at her best friend in stunned silence, and whispered coyly: "This, is not good, is it?
He will be very tired."
“That’s right, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have made such a request.” Although Sonia didn’t quite understand why Fiona was so resistant, since her good friend felt bad about it, she shouldn’t continue the topic.
At this moment, there was a shout from the sailors of the sloop. A group of people on the starboard shore were flying a signal flag to them.
The sailors ran out of the cabin and raised the signal flag toward the shore in response. The ship immediately turned around and headed for a pier not far ahead.
Sonia didn’t pay much attention to this matter and continued to look down at her book. It was almost noon now, and most of the nearby families had brought fresh food to them.
"Fiona, come and sit in the cabin for a while," Lana, who was fully armed, came over and saluted Sonia who was sitting opposite, "Miss Larmore, please come with me."
"You, you, what are you going to do?" Fiona suddenly jumped up, blushing and shaking her head desperately, "Three people, this kind of thing is not allowed, right?"
Lana glanced at Fiona in confusion, not knowing what she was thinking, but he had encountered this situation many times: "This is not the core territory of the kingdom. According to the regulations, the staff must assume that they will meet during the trip.
To fully protect the safety of the commander in case of attack. Please enter the cabin to guard against danger."
Sonia nodded, packed up her books and stood up. This trip, like hiking in the Whispering Forest in winter, was a simulation under specific conditions.
Ever since he suffered a big loss last winter, no matter how lax Xu Toral is, he attaches great importance to the system and safety, and almost everyone is about to turn into a Griffith, big or small.
Neither the school nor the parents stopped this behavior, which shows that their persistence should have some validity.
The three of them left the deck and came to the inner cabin. There was a spacious lounge there. Isius, Berthier and Dedeus were playing six-player auto-chess with their Scitoral. The others and the professor
Most of them played chess and read books in their cabins.
"He's delivering lunch, right? This journey is really boring," Isius noticed the movement of the sailboat and opened a porthole to look outside. "Murat, we are scheduled to disembark from the ship tomorrow for inspection, right?"
"Yes, Viscount," Murat looked through the schedule, "In addition, this location and time should be lunch and local information sent from the nearby Richter Manor. According to the original plan, they should contact us at the next ferry.
The time has also been advanced by half an hour.”
"I have been sitting on the boat for a whole day and there is no signal at all." Viscount Isius shook the echo crystal in his hand to everyone, "My crystal signal has been very noisy since yesterday, and today I can't hear anything at all. You guys
How about it?"
"I don't know~ My dad won't let me establish contact with unidentified psychic nodes," Fiona sat down on the sofa nearby, "Don't you just want to listen to the messages from those suspicious echo terminals? You
You don’t even know whether the owner of that voice is a human being, why you are still so interested, aren’t you afraid that followers of black magic or even demons from the abyss are tempting you?”
"Demon of the abyss? Charm? If it's a succubus, I can do it!" Isius lay down on the sofa, "Sitting on a boat is really boring. It would be great if there are followers of black magic who come to give me some fun."
Berthier, who was very bookish, also tested the crystal and found that the signal was indeed very poor. The echo hub in the old town and the time of the Astrology Tower could not be heard. He thought solemnly for a while and said hesitantly: "Is it possible?
What's wrong? Someone is interfering with us or the psychic energy in this area."
"New magic items all have this problem, and they will mature in two years," Dedeus said nonchalantly, then looked at Kulala's chessboard, "Hey, your water element is too far forward, and the assassin is in the back row.
.”
“You don’t understand, just watch, I’ll kill you in the next round!” Kurala said while quickly adjusting the position of the chess piece.
Bertier still felt something was wrong. The goblin attack last year scared him badly, and his subordinate Sciuto Larnona was also injured in the subsequent battle.
Although he had no evidence, he always had a vague premonition: "There are no rebels around here, right?"
"There is a small-scale rebel army, Mr. Berthier. They are led by a rebel knight named Lance. They claim to be under the command of a rebel leader in the northwest mountains who calls himself the Lightning King," Lana replied, "
Viscount Tretter's army is fighting them two days' journey from us.
“A reinforcement force composed of local city defense troops and militia has joined Viscount Tret’s army. I paid attention to their battle reports, and Reims’ army is about to collapse.
“The larger rebel forces are far away from us and are mainly concentrated in the mountainous areas of the southwest and northwest.”
Sonia sat down, and through the porthole she could see a small pier approaching. A group of people and a carriage carrying large and small packages had gathered there. They were waving signal flags and guiding the sailboat to dock.
“Bang.” Murat lowered the wooden board of the porthole to block her view.
"I'll go to the deck, Murat, and I'll leave the inspection of the cabin to you," Rana nodded to everyone when he saw that he was about to dock, picked up his weapon, turned around and walked out of the cabin.
Rana wore a black fine armor, with a dense layer of mail under the armor. He had large and small daggers and hatchets stuck on his waist, which were almost the same length as an ordinary adult male, used to break formations and fight.
A heavy horse-killing sword for large creatures. According to the regulations, he should arrive at the bridge before docking the ship and monitor the situation at the dock. However, this large and small equipment is very inconvenient to walk in the crowded aisle of the cabin. From time to time, people who care about lunch will run by him.
He also had to step aside to avoid the classmates who were eating something.
"Nonna, Cruara, put on your armor and get in position," Murat reminded the two female Scitoral who were still playing, "Bertier and Mr. Dedeus, please prepare for the docking this time.
You must also participate in alert drills for supplies."
“Ah! We’re obviously going to win!” the beautiful girl with silver-white shawl hair yelled, “Can’t we pause the auto chess game?”
"Culala, put on your armor," Nona, who had already put on half of the plate armor, put the breastplate aside into the hands of her companions, and then said sternly to the aristocratic young man who still looked confused, "Mr. Berthier"
, stop staring at the Beyeland Post and thinking nonsense, we all know there is nothing real in it except the date."
The cockpit is in the second half of the second floor of the cruise ship. It is a semi-open space where the rudder and navigation chart are. The captain is directing the sailors to dock and put down the cables and planks. With a "boom" sound
There was a sound, the cruise ship docked at the pier, and then there was a sound of sliding planks and cables.
Due to a delay in the lounge and passage, Rana, who had originally planned to board the bridge before docking, had just climbed up the narrow stairs at this time.
If Griffith was here, I would have to say that I moved slowly... The burly Lana shook his head helplessly, trying to look out through the gap while crawling, but he could only barely see a figure moving on the shore.
"What are you doing?!" Suddenly, the captain in the cockpit at the end of the stairs shouted. Rana's heart tightened, and just as he was about to speed up, he heard a piercing sound.
Oops!
