Two days later.

The scattered snowflakes that had been drifting all day stopped in the early morning, but the sky above the imperial capital was still shrouded in a layer of gloomy clouds.

The next day was the funeral of the old marquis, and the celebrities of the imperial capital had already left for Engor Manor, and the girl's original arrangements for today and tomorrow had been canceled or postponed. This morning, the girl had a rare leisure.

"Huh?"

The maiden walking in the palace set her eyes on a courtyard not far away.

"That's ...... Bina and Linna? The girl was surprised.

Sisters Bina and Linna are in the courtyard. Small snowballs could be seen flying between them.

[This is the ...... Snowball fights? Xiao Wei's excited heart spoke.

[Really.] The girl was also surprised.

The girl walked towards the courtyard. There's already a spectator there. Cliff, a tall man, stood on the stone steps on one side of the courtyard, his spotless white robe undulating in the wind.

"Mr. Cliff," said the maiden, "good morning. ”

Unlike when we first met, Cliff seemed as quiet as the sun.

"Hello, Victoria," he said, "are you here for a snowball fight, too?" ”

"It's not a simple snowball fight, is it?" The girl said.

Cliff smiled.

"It's a kind of training," he said, "but it's also a test of reflexes, judgment and the situation on the battlefield." ”

……

Like the girl who was still dressed in a blue dress, the sisters Bina and Linna were still wearing neat red swordsman costumes, as if the change of climate could not affect them in any way. The grounds and roofs of the palace were dyed pure white with snow, and a little farther away, officials and servants wrapped in cotton clothes shuttled back and forth.

"Woo......" I only heard Lin Na say, flicking the snowflakes on her forehead with her fingers, "Why just can't you hit?" ”

"Your attack is too reckless," Bina said leisurely, "and I can only press and beat you." ”

Circles are drawn on the snow beneath their feet that restrict movement. In this way, both sides have limited "ammunition reserves" and dodge space.

"I've practiced throwing weapons!" Lin Na looked unconvinced.

"Do you have the ability to throw stones?" Bina smiled, "Snowballs aren't stones, and they're not throwing weapons or hidden weapons. You're not used to the trajectory of the snowball. ”

"Woo," Lin Na pouted, looking very unconvinced, "Let's do it again." ”

……

Distance.

"I'm not going to go." The girl shook her head.

"Wise choice," Cliff said, "your basic training is not over yet, and you don't need to do it right away." ”

"You're a mage, but you know a lot about warrior training, right?"

"I had the talent of a warrior as well as a talent for spellcasting," Cliff said, "and of course, my talent for spellcasting was very mediocre. I was seriously considering whether to be a warrior or a more difficult mage practice. ”

"Thankfully, you made the right choice, 'The Day of the End.'"

Cliff frowned unconsciously.

"Who knows," he whispered, "that I have chosen a path of thorns and gained power that I could never have imagined. ”

"You don't have imperial blood, so you can't be a secret warrior," the girl said, "or I think many secret weapons are very suitable for you." I don't know if you have the potential to use magic skills, but your personality is very suitable for becoming a holy warrior. ”

The Holy Warriors of this world are made up of highly trained junior magic casters and are the backbone of the Holy See.

"Heh......" Cliff smiled meaningfully, "you're not the first person to say that. Indeed, it is painful to have to choose between several major spellcasting systems. Arcane is the most powerful and comprehensive of the three systems, but Divine Magic and Esoteric Rituals also have advantages that Arcane cannot match. If I'm not mistaken, it wasn't your intention to be chosen by the 'Light World'. ”

The girl was stunned.

"If you had a choice, what would you choose, Victoria's other soul?" Cliff asked.

"Arcane or magic is possible," the girl said after a moment's hesitation, "Arcane is comprehensive, but it takes too long to train. If I can perform magic spells. ”

The Holy See's magic casters pray to the sea of clouds, and the sea of clouds will grant them magic spells. But according to Xiaowei, there are many examples of people who don't believe in the god of the sea of clouds at all, but can perform divine magic.

"It's hard to imagine if it weren't for you," Cliff said, "and the Empire's 'Bright World' is not the most precedent of the Secret Rites. No, that's what it takes to be chosen by the 'Light World', right? ”

"Pretty much."

"Sometimes I really admire you," Cliff said leisurely, "if you and your original soul chose to be arcane, I'm afraid your relationship will not be as harmonious as it is now." ”

"What?"

"I don't know the arcane path of the Douglas family," Cliff said calmly, "I can't help you with the cultivation of the secret warriors." I can only advise you...... Be imaginative. The synergy between the Esoteric Rite and the Arcane makes it difficult to estimate its potential. ”

……

Bina and Lina finish a snowball fight and walk towards the girl and Cliff.

"Are you coming too?" Bina asked gently.

"We're two-on-two?" Lin Na scratched her head, "Or a different way of a big scuffle?" ”

"Wait a minute......" the girl was embarrassed.

"I'll come one-on-two," said Cliff, "and you're watching, Victoria." ”

……

As a result, even with one enemy and two enemies, Cliff was able to completely defeat the two secret warriors of Bina and Linna in a snowball fight. The girl estimated that even if she joined the battle group herself, it would be difficult to win by fighting one of the three.

Of course, if the three of them were armed with their own secret weapons, the result would be unpredictable.

["The Day of the End", is he really just a mage? Xiaowei complained.

[Probably.] The girl replied that Cliff's physical ability at this time had indeed reached the level of a secret warrior, [Did he use any spells? 】

[If you simply use strengthening spells to enhance yourself, it is difficult to be on an equal footing with the Mystic Warrior in terms of physical fitness," Xiao Wei said, [But there are some special means to achieve this. The Day of the End was covered in traces of arcane energy, and I couldn't make out what spells he had used on him. 】

[Experience cannot be increased by spells,] said the girl, "Cliff's experience in facing the enemy is not lower than that of the sisters Bina and Linna. That's the root of his strength. 】

It's time for me to work out, too, the girl thought. She quietly walked towards her room. With the illusion device given to her by Victor, she was able to train her skills without anyone noticing.

Even without Cliff's prompt, the Maiden will begin exploring the combined use of the Ritual and the Arcane as soon as possible.
