In the mage tower, Clemont arrived at the door of Mariana's research room with ease.
After lightly touching the blue crystal at the door, the closed magic door slowly opened.
"Huh? Clemont, why are you here? Aren't you going to prepare for your fourth mission during this time?"
Looking at Clemont walking in, Mariana curiously put down the magic potion in her hand that contained abundant magic power.
In front of her, there was a row of magic scrolls made of fine monster skins.
"You! Don't stay here all the time. The production of magic scrolls cannot be done overnight, and you shouldn't put all your energy into it now. This will slow down your promotion!"
Looking at Mariana's haggard face, Clemont walked up to her and gently combed the broken hair around her ears!
However, this move made Mariana's face turn red instantly. Since the last dance, the two of them had often discussed various ideas about magic together, and Clement's wild ideas also made Mariana face him.
This man is full of interest.
As the old saying goes, when a woman is interested in you and wants to know you, that's when she falls.
This sentence is perfect for Mariana.
Looking at Mariana's suddenly bright red earlobes, a smile flashed across Clemont's face. It was hard for him not to like this girl who didn't have any temperament for a young lady, was serious about her work, and was kind to others.
"Hmm...I know that! What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Listening to Mariana's soft words, Clemont paused for a moment, and then said softly: "I'm going back tomorrow! I came here today to say goodbye to you! You..."
"I know! Teacher Cecilia has already told me!"
Hearing Clemont's words, Mariana suddenly felt sad, and then interrupted him with a smile, "Although you are gone, I will lose a good friend in the college, but... I still wish you a good journey!"
Looking at Mariana's flawless and beautiful face, Clemont took a deep breath.
As a magician, Mariana needs to study in the magic academy for three years before she can graduate. This is the second year. It is unrealistic to invite her to play in her own territory, and there is nothing to do in her own territory now.
Besides, this is not a separation between life and death. It is not that I will not be able to see Mariana in the future. When I have time, I can take the Arachne to Santa Cruz to see her at any time.
Thinking of this, Clemont smiled and nodded and said:
"Take care, too. If you have any questions, you can write to me at any time. I should come to Santa Cruz again in March or April next year. I hope to have the first dance with you at the Expedition Ball!"
"Then it's a deal!" At this moment, the girl's blue pupils looked extremely dazzling.
…
At the entrance of the Magic Tower, looking at Clemont's leaving figure, Mariana's face flashed with sadness.
At the same time, Teacher Cecilia’s kind voice sounded from behind!
"Silly boy, as the only heir of the Latro family, you should know what your grandfather and your father want from you. Although this kid, Clement, is very good, he is not your best choice!"
After hearing the teacher's words, Mariana's eyes became even darker.
How could she not understand that after she was born, her father was injured in a war. Although the injury was cured, he forever lost the ability to have children. As Latro's only daughter, she
Destined to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the family.
And as a hereditary noble, how could the Thacker family allow their heir to marry into the family?
"Teacher, I know, I will adjust my mentality! I will not let my grandfather and my father down!"
Mariana pretended to be calm and raised her head to look directly at Cecilia.
"Teacher, I'm going to get busy! You should go to bed early!"
After saying that, she walked back to the mage tower, but no matter how she heard it, the thumping sound of her feet on the stairs was dull.
"Hey, he is such a stupid kid. Once he is trapped, I'm afraid he will never be able to get out..."
Looking at Mariana's disappearing back, Cecilia sighed and murmured to herself.
...
"Baron Clermont, first of all, congratulations on passing your graduation exam. As your partner, I'm sorry that I can't congratulate you in person!
As compensation, I will give you a group of fishman slaves. These slaves are very good at fishing and seabed mining. I heard that the west of your territory is the sea. I hope these slaves can help you!
And when you read this letter, I have already arrived at Fort Branco. Although I encountered many difficulties and obstacles along the way, the soap business has greatly improved the Knights of the Rose under me, so once
There are no surprises on the road.
I would like to thank you here. In return, I have attached a map of the nearest route to Fort Branco on the back of the letter. I have marked the foreign forces along the way. I hope it will be helpful to you..."
Late at night, Clemont looked at the words on the letter in his hand, and felt a warm current in his heart.
However, he was not too excited.
On the contrary, he was very calm.
Because he knew that Princess Cynthia probably did this just because of the interest relationship between the two.
In her eyes, she might be just a slightly useful pawn.
After taking a look at the hand-drawn map on the back of the letter, Clemont put the letter away.
"Mandy, stop playing! Start working!"
After greeting Mandy, who was running around because of excitement, Clemont sat down on the bed.
In order to quickly increase his fighting spirit during this period, he spent a lot of money to buy some magic cores containing thunder elements. Even though these magic cores are only as big as a thumb, the elemental power contained in one of them is more than what Clement can naturally absorb in half a month.
There are more.
Moreover, this small third-level magic core costs 100 gold coins, and the better fourth-level magic core costs 500 gold coins. In order to purchase these magic cores, Clemont allocated the money he got from the glasses store.
Only by investing all the profits can we break through to the rank of Great Knight within three months.
However, despite the rapid breakthrough, Clemont did not forget to choose the attribute direction of fighting spirit.
Thunder element fighting spirit has three attributes, speed, paralysis, and ultimate destruction.
In terms of speed, he has master-level footwork, and he is also very proficient in using the ability of aerial shifting, so speed is not considered for now, and the attribute of paralysis is useless in the early stage, so in the end Clemont chose the ultimate
of destructive power.
As for the wood element fighting spirit, Clemont has never struggled with it from the beginning to the end. Treatment is the king, and an unbeatable knight is the most terrifying existence for the enemy.
Of course, this is only his initial choice after being promoted to a great knight. Before being promoted to a spirit knight or a blood-stained swordsman, he still needs to integrate all the attributes of fighting spirit into one.
But what troubles him most now is whether to get all the elemental affinities.
If you can get them all, then the difficulty of promotion will not be as simple as one plus one equals two, let alone my current state of dual-element fighting spirit.
If I could describe it in one sentence, it would be that one monk carried water to eat, two monks carried water to eat, and three monks had no water to eat.
And this is also the fundamental reason why there are no owners of three elements in this world, because once the awakening exceeds two elements, they will become criminals due to the conflict between the elements.
But this point, Clemont also needs to try to know. If the system can awaken the third element affinity without side effects, then he has a way to improve it. After all, he still has many ideas to make money, which can be solved with money.
