Chapter 1 The armored cavalry is advancing

“After being driven by dust crystals, the Paris-Scoltz configuration will form the energy output of the light system, and the rate of change of the output power is this formula.”

Sidious was writing on the blackboard. In the large lecture hall, everyone was taking notes.

"The properties, dosage, and ratio of dust crystals are all important variables in this model. Let's run the function." Sidious started testing directly in the classroom. "Look, everyone, the role of the Tver model in light attribute dust crystals."

The reaction we talked about in the previous lesson appeared, and the effect of maintaining diffraction showed a complex functional shape..."

 I don’t understand, I’m talking in human language...

 Griffith looked pale. What is sustained diffraction? Have you ever been taught it? What page is the Tver model in the book?

Verona's battle hero, Griffith of the Military Command Department, was confused in the intermediate magic theory class. This professional course for Minerva's magic students is compulsory to take Toral, and there is also an exam.

, counted into the final grade.

 Griffith could not understand or understand anything! Like all the Shutorals, he looked at Professor Sidious with a look of despair.

  Galadia, save me! Hey, her back is so beautiful...

  It was a full day of classes after returning to Homemonworth. Galadia sat in front of him seriously and listened to the lectures. On the podium was his brother Sidious.

The gentle and charming gaze of the extraordinary elf wizard makes girls born in noble and mage families fascinated. However, there will always be a moment when his eyes will be disgusted, filled with critical and critical eyes, and then full of

Move away the disgust.

Several times, Griffith wanted to whisper to Galadia, who was sitting in the front row, or pass a note to her. Whenever he started to tinker with this little idea, Sidious's evil gaze shrouded him.

, making Griffith feel like he would kill himself with a bolt of lightning at any time.

 Sonia seemed to have something to do and took a whole day off. She would have explained it to Griffith during the break.

 Finally, she persisted until the end of get out of class. Galadia went to her brother to ask questions while holding her textbook, followed by a large group of girls.

 Griffith dragged his heavy steps towards the restaurant, feeling deep despair for the midterm exam.

I may get zero points...Sonia will definitely catch me staying up late to study.

 While having lunch, Griffith received an encrypted letter from home.

 “My lovely brother,

"Congratulations on your great victory. We saw the battle report of the Battle of Boulogne. My father made a rare comment during dinner. My mother and Saya were very happy and asked me to write to ask you when you are free to return to your new home.

Come.

“We prayed for Elodie. My father asked me to tell you to think twice before you act. At the appropriate time, someone will come to help you.

 “Never act recklessly.

“We settled in Carolan, the largest city in the south. I enclose the new address.

"After coming to the south, I gradually discovered that my father's plan was beyond our imagination. If any idiot thinks that we are a weak family of low-level knights and dares to hurt our relatives, we must make him pay the heaviest price.

I regret coming into this world, even for Him.

“When you take important actions or encounter major dangers, contact us immediately through the communication function of the Echo Hub. Just take care of the small things yourself.

"According to rumors, the superiors may upgrade my father's title to a superior knight, that is, a grand knight. If it is implemented, we can add 'De' in front of Brandon's last name. I don't know if my father will accept it. I think

Just accept it, you all came to such a remote place in the south. Although it has nothing to do with you, it is not a bad thing if it sounds good.

"Saya is getting cuter and cuter. This is not good. If she gets any cuter, the world will be destroyed. Her mother has decided to send her to Homemon Watts next year and let you monitor her. You must seize the time to grow up in order to protect the cuteness.

sister.

"good luck,

 “Your invincible brother, Herofus Brandon.”

  Knight Brandon, who was transferred to the southern province, finally wrote a letter to his son. Although this had nothing to do with Griffith, who had no inheritance rights, he was still very happy.

  Along with the letter came some investigation reports from the knight family on the Neopolis incident. The letter was encrypted, and they had understood some of the characteristics of the call of the ancestors and pointed out possible potential dangers.

At the end of the investigation record, Mrs. Brandon Knight reminded her son, pointed out some possible variables, and repeatedly told him to be careful. When he is in the third grade, his sister will come to Homemonworth to enroll, but don't get yourself hurt before that.

died.

  The investigation report is similar to the information Griffith obtained in Elodie's last moments. The call of the ancestors can activate latent extraordinary characteristics, turning seemingly ordinary lives into terrifying devourers.

 Lady Knight Blanton wrote:

"Only those ancient beings that have become myths can be affected by the call of the ancestors and wake up from their long sleep and seal. Once awakened, the host with extraordinary characteristics will madly absorb the spiritual energy and vitality of the outside world, showing its

A terrifying gesture in ancient mythology.

"The monster between plants and animals lurking in Elodie looms in the ancient mythology of the southern continent. In the upper reaches of the Carolan River, there is a plateau hidden deep in the remote deserts and oases. There is a plateau there.

Crazy and ancient legends say that certain troll clans worship the plant-like embodiment of madness on the stairs.

"Its existence is too ancient, and the truth is hidden in countless lies and fallacies. I will be careful to verify it. Griffith, you must not actively pursue this secret."

 …

 At dinner time, the atmosphere on campus suddenly became different.

Griffith wore a double-breasted cavalry uniform-style coat with a blue background and a red collar, black trousers, long boots, and a long sword at his waist. He walked through the long corridor toward the hall and prepared to have dinner. According to the modification

According to school rules, Shutoral can carry a sword with him, but he cannot wear armor unless there are special circumstances.

He wanted to talk to Galadia. He hadn't seen her for only a few days, but he missed her so much.

 Everyone around me is weird.

Several beautiful girls born in the nobility walked past him. They usually kept a social distance from Griffith, but today they glanced at him boldly, with a look of scrutiny and evaluation in their eyes.

 Something is going to happen!?

Griffith immediately realized that something had happened that he didn't understand yet. He subconsciously started to activate the bone ring, preparing to escape back to the dormitory and put on armor to face the enemy.

However, that doesn’t seem to be the case. In the distance, the Hall of Homemonworth is being decorated with colorful decorations and heraldry, which is only done on festive days.

 He looked around doubtfully and asked his fellow men in a low voice.

“Rana, did something happen?

 Lana was chatting happily with Fiona. Neither of them heard his question.

 “Mura, did you hear anything?”

Murat was holding a portrait and smiling foolishly, ignoring him. Nona glanced at it and sighed helplessly and disappointedly.

 What's going on? Has everyone started celebrating the festival?

At this time, Kurala came over. The girl, who had just recovered from her injury, was wearing a slim-fitting beautiful skirt and exquisite make-up. She looked nothing like Shutoral.

                                  

 “Hey, what’s up?” The girl with long silver hair came up immediately.

"What happened?"

“Hey, you don’t know yet?” Kurala glanced at him in surprise, “That’s right, do you have a fiancée?”

 “No, why do you ask this?”

 “Do you want to consider me?” Kurala flashed her big eyes and gave a surprising suggestion.

"Huh?" Griffith leaned back in horror, fearing that Galadia would hear this somewhere.

Nona quickly came over, grabbed the grimacing Kurala, and turned to Griffith and said:

 “Get your clothes and hair straightened quickly.”

 Hello! Can you stop everyone from speaking only half the words?

 Griffith became nervous. Although he didn't know what happened, he also realized that the upcoming incident was related to him.

Galadia has not appeared until now. She has always been very positive about eating.

Sonia saw Griffith from a distance and immediately walked towards him. Ever since the incident with the yogurt and knee pillow, she had been avoiding Griffith, but this time she ran straight towards him.

 She was wearing a beautiful dress, not a seductive long dress for a ball, but a dress for a formal occasion, and she had a small handbag with her.

She grabbed Griffith and led him into a room next to the hall at Homemonworth.

 This is the dressing room, which is often used by girls who perform in shows.

Do you want me to sing or dance during dinner later? I can’t!

 “Sonia, what happened?”

“Wipe your face first,” Sonia ignored him and handed him a hot towel. Then she skillfully opened the cosmetic bag and held Griffith’s face with her hands to look at it.

  She seemed a little angry and depressed, but overall her attitude was okay. It was really rude of Griffith to move around on other people's laps.

"Just wait a moment and you just follow the waiter's instructions. You can give a military salute without speaking." Sonia said without thinking, looking left and right in a serious and confused manner, "I don't know about men's makeup.

You know, in short, it’s right to highlight shadows and contours.”

 Just as Griffith was about to speak, Sonia had already taken out the foundation and patted it on his face.

She stood on tiptoes, carefully grooming Griffith's eyebrows, and her soft little hands slid over the resolute face, making people feel itchy.

Since Griffith was much taller than herself, Sonia could only hold on to his shoulders and do hard work. After a while, she realized that there was a chair next to her, and hurriedly pushed Griffith to sit down and let herself breathe.

tone.

“Is your face a little paler than when you first came to Beyeland?” Sonia said to herself, “It seems that the remaining characteristics of the vampire family still have an impact. Let me put some blush on you.”

   …”

What can Griffith say? He doesn’t know how to put on makeup, so he can only sit upright and look straight ahead so as not to disturb Sonia.

 The girl smells so good...

Like the faint fragrance of spring entering the nose, Sonia bent over and carefully applied foundation and primer on him, and modified the shadows on the bridge of the nose and the corners of the eyes.

 Griffith's eyes couldn't help but rest on her collar, seeing her white neck, delicate collarbones and deep arcs.

Sonia didn't notice it at all. As usual, she was very devoted and doing what she was doing seriously. If she appeared on a man, it might make people feel a bit old-fashioned, but paired with a beautiful girl's face and smart eyes, it would be

Incredibly cute.

 She will be a good wife... An idea came to Griffith's mind.

“Sonia!” Fiona suddenly opened the door and came in. “If you don’t come out, I’ll think you two have elope.”

 …

Count Larmore, Count Chalon, Headmaster Tiberion, His Excellency Salorian, Provost Madam Marian, Professor Heinz, Professor Erich, and several unknown big names are standing in the center of the hall.

, everyone's eyes were fixed on Griffith and Sonia who came out of the side door. Even Sidious was there. Galadia beside him was dressed in a dress and looked at him uncomfortably.

them.

Griffith was taken aback by the size.

 Count, are you sure you want to marry your daughter to me? You can’t do it!

Before his random thoughts could come to fruition, Sonia stepped aside and looked at him with a smile.

The waiter with an arrogant expression said loudly:

"Shu Toral, come forward in formation and present the banner to your commander."

Griffith understood immediately.

The waiters handed him the flag of Reims that had been prepared and led him to the red carpet. Lannes, Lasalle, Milhaud and others followed behind him with captured rebel flags.

Salutes were fired one after another, and gorgeous fireworks flew past the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hall and bloomed in the sky.

This is a grand festival. Amidst the exciting melody, the Shutorals stepped forward with solemn expressions and held flags.

“Griffith Blanton, captured the flag of the rebel leader Lance!”

“Rana Jean, captured the flag of the Rebel Heavy Infantry Squadron II and Squadron IV!”

The ten soldiers who participated in the battle, one after another, threw the captured military flag under the rostrum under the gaze of countless eyes in the Hall of Homemworth.

Each time they throw down a military flag, the drummer beats it with a rapid rhythm, and then switches to a slow and lively drumbeat, waiting for the military flag below to be thrown down, and so on.

Following the military flag are the weapons and staffs used by the rebel leaders and elite units. Griffith and the others returned to receive the prepared trophies and presented them to their commander again.

  The main force of Reims was almost completely wiped out, and the captured military flags and guards of honor were piled up like a hill in front of the rostrum.

The climax of the whole scene was the capture of Lance's weapons and heavy armor. The bloodstains had not yet been wiped off, and the huge wounds penetrated by the spears were clearly visible.

The armor was carried through the hall by the Shutorals. The brave students even reached out and touched the cold armor, and then immediately retracted their hands in shock at the residual murderous intent.

“Let us pay tribute to the brave warriors who fought bravely in the Battle of Boulogne-Plachin! Long live the victory! Long live the King and the wise Senate!” Headmaster Tiberion raised his glass and shouted loudly, “Vivela Byarlant!”

 “VivelaByarlant!”

 The whole place burst into cheers, and all the professors, guests and students of the four grades stood up. They shouted slogans and paid tribute to the king and the wise Senate. The cheers almost broke off the roof of Homemon Watts Hall.

Sonia waved desperately to Griffith in the audience and shouted his name.

Count William de La Mole took two steps forward and said to Scitoral who was lined up in front of the stage:

“Griffith Blanton, apprentice knight, come forward.

"In view of your extraordinary courage, perseverance, noble faith and extraordinary wisdom, as well as your major military exploits in the Battle of Boulogne-Plachin, we have decided to award you the Silver Oak Leaf Knight's Eagle Banner.

medal."

 What medal? Griffith thought he heard wrongly. Mine is the Silver Eagle, and there are not so many people attending the medal ceremony!

 “Ob'sstuermtodehneit (no matter the wind or the snow),

“ObdieSonneunslaht (or the scorching sun),”

Lannes and Lassalle opened their voices and began to sing "The Armored Cavalry Marches On" while they sang and stamped their feet with their heavy boots.

  “DerTagg deehendheiss (no matter the hot day),

 “OdereiskaltdieNaht(still the cold night),

“BestaubtprivnddieGeprivhter (even if the dust is rolling in your face),

“Dohfrohis hip color inn (we are still in a happy mood),

  “I’m still happy!”

 All the Shutorals in the four grades stood up and sang with a breathtaking rhythm. Their heavy boots echoed like thunder on the ground, sending out resonances and tremors that shook the earth.

Griffith walked onto the podium amidst stormy applause and cheers. All the big shots looked at him. Sonia in the audience bloomed a sweet smile like a spring flower in April and waved to him desperately.

Even Professor Lorsus, who disliked Griffith the most, reluctantly sat in his seat and raised his eyelids.

The attendants placed the Silver Oak Leaves Knight's Eagle Medal on red velvet and sent it to Count de La Mole with an extremely dignified and elegant manner.

 The count hung the medal on his collar with his own hands.

 “Griffith!”

 “Griffith!”

 “Griffith!”

 The waves of cheers almost lifted Griffith into the sky.

 He was filled with great happiness, and now even if he was asked to attack an army of a thousand people on his own, he would do it without hesitation.

The small medal is made of silver, and the small silver oak leaves on the eagle flag are kneaded into rare precious metals, giving it powerful magical properties. The way the medal is worn is different from the Iron Eagle Medal that Griffith wears on the button of his coat.

, must be worn in the middle of the collar, and the medal is tied to the collar with a blue, white, and red ribbon.

 In Beyeland, there are three conditions for becoming a noble.

 1. The extraordinary sequence shall not be lower than sequence 8;

 2. Must obtain a Knight's Medal of Eagle with Silver Oak Leaves or a higher Medal of Honor;

 Three, canonized by a nobleman above count.

There is an additional tradition in this system. Within two years of the issuance of the Knight's Order of the Eagle with Silver Oak Leaves, Griffith's Lord should canonize him as a knight. This tradition has a long history and is mainly used to solve the problem of obtaining the Order of the Medal.

This is a transitional period arranged because the person is still young or the feudal family has difficulty arranging territory and positions for the time being.

However, in any case, if Count Larmour delays using various excuses after two years, it will be regarded as a provocation and insult to the order and the entire aristocratic society.

 From this moment on, Griffith has practically entered the Bayerland aristocracy.

From now on, he must conspicuously wear the Silver Oak Leaf Knight's Eagle Medal. This is his obligation and right. All non-noble people must address him as Your Excellency or Your Excellency.

In ancient times, becoming a formal noble often meant getting a small territory. In order to avoid the core area of ​​the country being fragmented by large and small territories, the ancient wise kings used currency to redeem the land from the nobles.

Or replace it with a large area of ​​land in the new province.

 One of the ways of redemption is an annuity. The king will make appropriate balances and adjustments based on the level of the title and the output of the land, and give the nobles a certain amount of precious metal currency every year. This is the earliest annuity.

It is no longer popular to grant land grants. After all, to manage the manor, you must leave Beyeland and leave the center of power and intelligence. The popular way now is to give an annuity to nobles who are officially promoted to the knight class. The lower knights receive 2,000 silver francs.

A senior knight's salary is no less than 5,000 silver francs, which is approximately equal to the annual salary of four apprentice knights. It is an income that can be obtained without working.

There are even greater benefits to the improvement of status. Although noble status is not a prerequisite for becoming a commissioned officer, nobles will definitely be appointed as officers instead of non-commissioned officers.

 Griffith can now save at least 20 merit points, and he can keep them all to upgrade his officer rank, instead of continuing to climb the rank of non-commissioned officer.

The dignitaries on the rostrum congratulated the newly promoted noble candidate Griffith in turn. Headmaster Tiberion also specially added that he was as amiable as an old scholar:

"The medal itself is an enchanted item. It can generate and maintain a defensive shield that lasts for 5 minutes every 5 minutes. It can continue to resist physical and magical attacks until it is broken. The shield is not easily disturbed by blood and has higher resistance to black magic.

Sex can even bring you good luck and blessings.

 “Keep up the good work, boy.”

 Griffith originally thought that the battle in Verona would bring him merit points, silver coins and extraordinary items as rewards, but he didn't expect that it would be such a precious high-ranking medal.
