Chapter 46: Some things only happen zero times and countless times
Griffith took the badge and looked at it carefully.
It looks like a gold coin half the size of a palm. The irregular edges look like they came from an ancient time when stamping technology was not yet developed. One side of the coin is a burning pentagram with an eye in the center; the other side
It is a male profile picture with a cheerful smile and short hair.
This inexplicable design composition makes people feel absurd and weird, and Salorian's generosity is even more disturbing.
Salorian waited for a moment to allow Griffith to fully examine the gold coin before continuing:
"Please note, my student, that this is not equivalent to the qualifications of those chosen, and may even put you in a disadvantageous and dangerous position.
"We know very little about this mysterious memorial ceremony, and we don't even know the time and place of the last one. As for its origin, according to my speculation, it can even be traced back to the origin of this world.
"It won't be long before you get a glimpse of this trial. Tiberion will unveil it in cryptic riddles, but will tell those chosen not what they will face.
"And you, my student, will show up wearing my badge?"
Salorian's tone was distant and calm. He paced in the room, like an old man walking talking to himself, and he already knew Griffith's answer:
"The Queen of Silver Moon and Starlight, and the goddess of prophecy who knows all things, they have been watching you not long after the rebellious little girl was chosen. You are destined to star in the bloody drama that follows, and fate has opened your eyes.
An offer was made that cannot be refused."
Do all the savants and big shots in this world like to be the Riddler? What can be said clearly in a few words is that if you have to go around and around, since you know the connection between me and Galadia, and know that I can't refuse, just
Just say no...
Griffith maintained his cold expression while mentally slandering the Magic Supreme in front of him.
However, the demigod's initiative, no matter whether it is based on his status or the urgency of the event, cannot be taken lightly.
"Your will is my action," Griffith bowed respectfully, "Please give me guidance."
This attitude satisfied Salorian. He waved his hand and asked Zulu, the orc elite who had been eyeing him, to step back. He opened the small cabinet on the desk and placed a set of potions on the table.
"Although I don't have much guidance for you, I can foresee that our destinies are about to intersect.
"Low-key, be cautious, my student. What you will face are the protagonists of the old era and unknown trials. Reckless actions will bring danger.
"Some of my results may help you."
Griffith took the potion and found that it was three bottles of potion labeled "Plagues' Polyjuice."
The recipe for Plagueis's Polyjuice Potion consists of 1 unit of black lotus powder, 2/3 ounce of silvermoon picked during the full moon, 2 units of dream dust, saltpeter, mercury, iron filings, shriveled wind snake skin, and 2 units of dream dust.
Something about the person's body that has changed.
Special effects: Can perfectly imitate the humanoid creature you want to transform into, changing appearance, voice, body shape, and even gender, but cannot change extraordinary characteristics.
A note of caution was written in neat notes on the medicine bottle: "Since extraordinary characteristics cannot be hidden, it is recommended to equip specific sealed objects or sacred objects to imitate its abilities when transforming."
After this note, additional notes were written in scrawled notes:
"You need to wear specific clothes when you transform."
"Emmm..." Griffith's expression was a little complicated. Then, he saw the small words that almost blended into the label pattern.
"Some things only happen zero times or countless times."
Griffith was speechless for a moment. He worked hard for a long time and finally thought of a topic to prevent his expression from losing control.
"My mentor, in my previous battles, obtained some extraordinary characteristics that may hide important clues. I hope to get some of this information, but I don't have the corresponding knowledge and methods. Please help me."
Salorian nodded slightly: "A bold and expensive request. I can help you, but I need the crystallization of the extraordinary wizard's characteristics that you obtained during the Odessa operation. They are a shortcut to the mystery."
Griffith immediately took out the crystal of the killed Prunus and handed it over.
Salorian took the gem, examined it carefully, and walked to his laboratory with a smile. Griffith hurriedly followed.
The extraordinary characteristic is that it is an extremely hard crystal, even if it is hit hard, it will remain unscathed. Only extremely powerful psychic attacks can destroy or melt it.
The Supreme Sorcerer placed the crystallization of the extraordinary wizard's characteristics on a special observation instrument. The exquisite and slender mithril frame is like the upper and lower poles, with the vertical axis aligned with the center of the earth, holding up the crystal to connect it with the observer's line of sight and the sky.
A certain star is aligned in a line.
Salorian observed carefully for a while, then turned to Griffith and said:
"The crystals precipitated by extraordinary people can reflect the stars at the right angle, allowing us to get a glimpse of its secrets. Most of them are chaotic memory fragments, and only a few fragments hide true knowledge.
"The image is very small, and it is easier to see the image clearly in a dark environment. If you do not see through the axis, you will not be able to see the scene, so it is difficult for bystanders to peek. The user can focus and explore the deep mysteries with the help of consciousness.
But this is very labor-intensive.
"Remember, observation will disturb the information in the crystal, and there is usually only one chance."
The Supreme Wizard stopped the curious Griffith: "Not this time. It is very dangerous to study the crystallization of characteristics before you have been fully taught. Do you know that every extraordinary path ultimately leads to a god? If not
If you are careful, you will make a big mistake
"Don't look directly at God."
"Yes, my mentor." Griffith accepted the suggestion respectfully and obediently, and did not make any more dangerous attempts.
Salorian also withdrew his attention from the observation instrument and said to him: "I will prepare corresponding courses for you. From now on, you can come to this mage tower at any time. I will teach you the knowledge of peering into nothingness and chaos.
for you."
…
Frost Festival is a day-long celebration, and everyone inside and outside the school is fully enjoying the rare relaxation.
Griffith tried his best to dress himself up. He stared at the mirror, pinched his face, put on the medal, looked at the timer from time to time, and muttered to himself:
"Today, I am going to attack the front position, but with no success, on the far horizon, the vague shadow of another enemy army has appeared. Isn't this the Battle of Teutonic-Roum!
"It's possible if you're not careful, hey, don't mention it..."
In order to recognize the outstanding students this semester, Principal Taborion held a dance tonight and invited his best students to participate.
Regarding the criteria for a good student, Homemon Watts believes that at least one of the following criteria must be met:
“1. All subjects’ grades in the quarterly exams and final exams this semester were A;
"2. Published a paper as the first author in a core journal in the magical world during this semester;
"3. Remarkable achievements have been made in the field of magic research and practice."
Griffith, who has great military exploits and is famous throughout the school, is of course not included in this range.
His grades in the military command professional course were very good, but the Magic Academy did not care about this, and passing the required magic course was enough to give him face; his military exploits were shining, but he shelled people and killed people in the city square of Odessa.
Several well-known scholars have died, which probably cannot be considered a great achievement for the research and practice of magic.
Although Beyelan and Odessa were once hostile, and the latter even wanted to summon an evil alien god to come, the relationship between the spellcasters as a group was still very close. When they learned that Griffith had brought the famous scholar to
After Seydlitz, one of the leaders of the new generation of wizards, had his head chopped off and stuck on the tip of a spear and hung on the spire of the summer palace, it was impossible to like him under any circumstances.
Griffith was invited only because Griffith served as the clerk at the mysterious meeting held in Homemon Watts in the spring. Headmaster Tiberion personally invited him to the ball. The headmaster's servants then
Added his name to the Frost Festival party list.
…
Murat and Lassalle lay side by side on the edge of the corridor, chasing Nona and Cruara with their eyes until they disappeared behind the flower corridor.
It was still a while before dark, and when he saw the girls dressed up and ready to go out to play tonight, Lasalle's good mood almost lifted.
"Oh, the air is so fresh~"
"Oh, how wonderful life is!"
Murat stretched his arms and echoed lazily.
"So, who was invited to the Griffith Ball later?" Lassalle's eyes followed another group of pretty girls to the garden and onto the warm grass under the sun.
"It's not an elf or a countess, hey, he invited Nona, you didn't expect it!" Murat couldn't help laughing, "Nona will join us after attending the ball."
"Huh? Why?" Lassalle looked at Murat and asked cautiously.
"The reason is very simple. Each of the two silly cats received an invitation from the principal." Murat also looked at the girls on the grass. "Xiaoyugan made a point, hey, Miss Sissi is really big, I mean really
Cute, eh, Xiao Yugan suggested that at this time, students who have never had the opportunity to attend the principal's party should be brought to participate. For example, Nona is a serious person, so that she will not have any regrets in her four years of study. Of course, he is right.
The two said it separately."
"Oh! As expected of him! Nona gets along well with everyone and will not cause misunderstandings. She is a good candidate," Lasalle said with sincere admiration. "I don't know what to do if it were the other person. I invited Ku to the last party.
Lala and Solan, I don’t think I have two hands anyway~ Well, then I got beaten up.”
"You stand in two different boats at your own peril," Murat nodded, "a lesson, a lesson."
These words stepped on Lasalle's tail, and he jumped up: "Who are you scolding!"
"Huh? Didn't you say that yourself?"
"Isn't it amazing to have an underage fiancée? It's just that two girls don't usually get together. Look how proud you are! Shameless alchemist!"
"Shut up, I didn't! Nona is my real friend, you dirty bastard!"
The two men struggled in the corridor.
…
Griffith sat alone at the long table. Galadia and Sonia tried to drag him into the middle of the party several times, but the professor and other guests lined up to greet them, and there was no room at all.
This is actually a great thing! It would be great if we could do this all night long!
Griffith smiled with his mouth crooked and lowered his head to eat his yellow peach ice cream. At this time, Nona passed by with a bottle of wine. Seeing that no one was around, she gave him a slap.
"look at this!"
Nona was wearing a rare evening dress. Her open shoulders and back revealed her vibrant wheat-colored skin. Her firm trapezius muscles, erector spinae muscles and elastic waist and hip lines made the lace and lace eclipsed and even a little redundant.
The flavor is something you can't appreciate on ordinary days.
She pointed to the necklace around her neck. There was a shining sapphire on the silver star ring.
"Not bad, this is it?"
"Birthday gift, hum." Nona shook the pendant, her eyes shining, "It was a gift from Murat."
"Mura?"
"Yes," the trainee knight lady gently lifted her hair and hung it on her earlobe, and said a little shyly and proudly, "He was also awarded the award for his achievements in forming irregular cavalry and creative group attacks in a short period of time.
Winning the Knight’s Order of the Eagle, that’s awesome!”
"As expected of Murat," Griffith nodded in agreement, "Do you have any vacation arrangements for the winter vacation?"
When she mentioned this, Nona's expression suddenly fell, and she hesitated and said: "They took back many areas from the rebels. Murat, during the holidays, will assist Isius in managing the new territory of Verona...
"
Ah, I understand, then he and Isius's sister, forget it, I won't talk about it... Griffith immediately reacted and put on a serious expression. Nona, who was sitting next to him, filled herself with
