In a dark world, the brain is groggy, and a familiar voice is fainting and trying to break the darkness, but it is too tired to wake up yet.

But why do you have to wake me up? Already sleepy enough, huh? What was that, something seemed to break into the dark depths of the distance, at first it was just a dot, and then it gradually coalesced into light—a green light full of life!

When the green light shines in this dark world, it begins to quickly occupy the entire space at an uncatchable speed, and the darkness dissipates like a low tide, and the green light lights up the entire dark world when it descends on the center.

What exactly is this green light? So warm, like a mother's embrace in infancy, making people forget all worries and pains, Silver Marks suddenly felt that the consciousness that had been scattered before was gradually returning, and together with the body, it became incomparably lighter, and a step-by-step ladder path was placed in front of him.

So, with difficulty, he propped himself up, followed the path formed by the green light, and climbed the stairs, he wanted to go to the top of the ladder - to follow the guidance of this green light.

……

Hey, the eyelids that were heavy as if they couldn't open anymore seemed to have become a lot soothed? So—

Silver Marks opened his eyes suddenly, and the first thing that caught his eye was the painted pink ceiling, and the round chandelier cast a dim light, and he didn't open his eyes for a long time, so he turned his head and suddenly found a familiar back.

It was Filia standing in front of the window, she was now looking out into the distance with her hands on her cheeks, and the light outside was far less intense than it had been at noon, but her silky orange hair was still gilded with a bright spot.

Yourself this is ...... Lying in bed? Oh, by the way, the previous duel with Su Ji's Spirit from the Flame Rhino seems to have ended in his own defeat, and he suffered a lot of injuries as a result. So Filia should be ...... by now I'm not happy.

Thinking of this, although he had already judged the result, Silver Mark still couldn't help but feel down.

At this moment, the sound of the door being pushed open sounded. Yan Shengwang went, and sure enough, someone pushed the door in, and more than one person came in.

To be exact, it should be two people, they are both wearing the white robes of teachers, the two are similar in height, one has an elegant temperament, and the face is approachable. The other had a straight face, not mean and indifferent, but a little self-contained silence.

It is worth mentioning that one of them, Silver Trace, is the first time that Filia said that the highly respected vice president of Rowan in the Ainiel Academy had such a close contact with this rumored figure.

It feels pretty good, but it's weird, I'm just Filia's spirit in name, so what's worth seeing in person for a character like the other party?

"Not far from what I expected, you woke up." Rowan smiled and said kindly. And his words like this confirmed Silver Trace's first thoughts, and the other party really cares about his injury? In this way, it really makes some sense, could it be that it is because of Filia's noble status that he has been stained, Silver Mark thought.

"Oh, thank you for your concern, Dean Rowan." Silver Marks naturally can't be silent, as for the dean, people with a little emotional intelligence should understand that even if the other party's position is nominally 'deputy level', but a simple word omission can bring the other party a pleasant mood, why not?

At this time, Filia, who was leaning on the window in a daze, noticed the movement here, especially when she heard the conversation between Rowan and Silvermark, she immediately turned her head in disbelief, and looked straight at Silvermark on the bed, as if she was confirming the authenticity of the things in front of her.

Of course, Silvermark also noticed Filia's side, and he instinctively wanted to see the expression on Filia's face now, but he was surprised to find that the look on the other party's face was more like a relief after relief, and Silvermark's self-thought 'chagrin', 'sadness', 'anger' and other possible emotions were all gone.

"Filia...... You. Silver Marks couldn't solve the confusion in his heart, and subconsciously asked out loud.

Could it be that Filia would deliberately hide those unpleasantness because she took care of herself? If that's the case, Silvermark would rather be scolded in a dignified manner.

However, in the next second, Filia threw out a sentence that made Silver Mark feel unbelievable, "Hmph, don't think that if you win the duel, I have to praise you desperately, obviously you are just a disobedient spirit, why should you let the master worry about you?" Even if it's just for a second, you're guilty of a big crime, you know? ”

What the...... Meaning?

I won that duel? What are you kidding, I was almost hit and killed by that brute force fireworks rhinoceros, but why...... What was the look on Filia's face that didn't look like a joke at all?

"Yes, you won that duel, yes." Rowan's voice unexpectedly sounded beside him, and at some point he quietly walked to the side of Silvermark's bed, and said intriguing words in a sincere voice, "But you don't know anything about the process of that battle, do you?" ”

Silvermark hesitated, not knowing how to speak, he was indeed as Rowan said, and there was no fragment to recall.

Seemingly satisfied with Silvermark's hesitation, Rowan patted Silvermark's shoulder twice and soothed him in a magnetic voice: "Don't think about it, the result will not change, accept that a thing full of confusion sometimes only needs to agree and be solved." ”

Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of the other party's words, the other party's peaceful tone inexplicably made Yinji's emotions let the other party assert, and subconsciously let go of the doubts in his heart for the time being.

"Dean Rowan, he shouldn't be in any big deal, right?" Filia also looked at Rowan at this time and asked the last glimmer of worry in her heart.

Rowan nodded, and looked sideways at the white-robed teacher on the other side who had a tendency to be 'autistic' in Silvermark's understanding, "Toa has left the blessing of the lecturer and his Divine Healing Rabbit, and his injuries have all healed, and he only needs a little rest to become alive again." ”

"Is that so? That's really thanks to Mr. Ali's assistance, thank you very much. Filia bowed and thanked Lecturer Ali.

Ah Li waved his hand, "It's just that I played my part." ”

……

In the evening.

Inside Filia's dormitory room.

The silver bell-like laughter mixed with the happy emotions did not know how many times it sounded in the room, and the silver mark leaning on the corner of the wall took care of his own burp after the meal, although it was inexplicably victorious, but the ending was not bad, Filia's mood became very good, and the silver mark also got rid of the previous days of abuse.

In the past, at least burping in the room would have been included in Filia's 'Great Disrespect to the Master' rule.

But it's no wonder that looking back on what happened in the Ainier cafeteria before, Su Ji, who had been crushing Filia in the past, was like an eggplant after frosting, and she couldn't raise her head at all in front of Filia, and some rumors in the past also disappeared temporarily because of the 'strong performance of Silver Marks'.

But Silver Mark knew in his heart that all this could only be regarded as a palliative treatment, and if he couldn't change the bad impression of 'aristocracy' in everyone's heart, everything would be useless, but everyone's concept seemed to be deeply ingrained, and it was not easy to change.

But at least Filia had done something to impress Silvermark, he had heard about the dangerous gamble between her and Sugi afterwards, and if it weren't for that 'inexplicable victory', then with Suki's hatred of the nobility, Filia would have to survive a difficult natural month.

But Filia, who now has the initiative, in addition to fighting back with sarcasm, did not fulfill the insulting bet, which drove Su Ji to embarrass in front of everyone.

From this point of view, in essence, Filia is still much kinder than Suki.

Although the impression of Filia in the original Silvermark heart was that the essence was not bad, the competitive and poisonous tongue, and the little tsundere and narcissism, he didn't expect to be able to react like this after suffering such injustice for no reason, which also made Silvermark feel to this person named Youke. Filia's girl grew a lot of affection.

Therefore, some of the hidden words in his heart couldn't help but take advantage of the other party's good mood to confide, "Filia, there is something I want to tell you. ”

"It's really a spirit servant who is good at seeing the seams, forget it, take advantage of the genius girl's victory and return in a good mood, and promise you to consult me as a know-it-all for some things." Filia raised her smooth chin, and in her opinion, Silver Mark had probably become interested in the 'strange abilities of the continent' again, and could not restrain her curiosity.

But she soon realized that something was wrong with the serious face of the silver mark, not of course, not because of the unexpectedly handsome face behind the main color, but about something deeper hidden behind it, and that unknown gave rise to a mood called 'unease' in Filia's intuition.

"I may ...... in the near future," Silvermark's eyes flickered slightly, hesitating to hinder him, "Get out of here!" But it didn't take long for him to tell his true thoughts, driven by an irrepressible desire.

"Of course, what are you talking about?" Filia shook her head with pity, "You have abused the few rights that your master gave you with great kindness, and you really don't know what to do." ”

This time it was the turn of the silver mark to be completely stupid, the other party's reaction was completely different from what he expected, and the words he said were even more inexplicable, what is it called of course?

"Even if you are a stupid cow who won the 'cow' for me, but your intelligence does not seem to have improved at all, have you forgotten what I said? My goal is to go to the 'whale'! Filia spread her hands and sighed that 'there is no cure for Silvermark's intelligence.

"Can you at least give me a little serious? I said that I'm leaving, does it have anything to do with what you're talking about? Silvermark felt that his conversation with Philia was something of a donkey's head and a horse's mouth, leaving him confused.

"Can't you understand even the most basic common sense?" Filia suddenly remembered something, she seemed to have subconsciously regarded Silvermark as a real 'human' a second ago, and he would understand this kind of common sense that everyone knew by default.

"Looks like I was negligent." Filia held her forehead with a big headache, and then looked at the silver mark, "You can listen to me, I will only explain the same thing once." ”

For the rest of the day, Filia explained everything to Silvermark in as much detail as possible, and Silvermark naturally paid close attention to the topic at hand, and listened attentively to all of the other party's speeches.

Through Filia's narration, Silver Trace quickly understood what the other party said, it turned out that in today's Apocalypse Continent, it can be roughly divided into two territories, with the World Mountain as the dividing point, one is a stable zone with the imperial capital as the center and more than ten surrounding cities, and the other is a zone commonly known as the 'Outer World', where there are many demon species that have not been cleaned up back then, although they are scarce, but through these years of secret reproduction, the number can no longer be controlled by simple means, and the only thing that can be done is to draw a clear line.

Of course, the self-proclaimed descendants of the Heavenly Emperor will obviously not easily compromise with the demons, even in the foreign world, they will also install managers and guards in major cities to prevent future troubles, and further compress the living space of demons.

At the same time, for security reasons, the imperial capital has set up a mandatory ordinance of 'if you want to leave the country, you must first reach the whale', of course, there is a necessary premise!

Anyone who is lucky enough to get the Demon King Fragment must hand it over to the Imperial Capital, and once it is confirmed as a physical object, he will be able to get an amazing reward of one billion halls. But once any selfishness is taken into possession of it, once it is discovered by the adjudicator who has been investigating the traces of the Demon King's fragments all year round, he will be endlessly hunted down by the imperial capital, but even so, there are still people who disobey the will of the imperial capital, and the vast majority of them have been killed.

When Felia mentioned the Demon King Shard, Silver Trace could clearly feel his heartbeat speed up a bit, and he was a little puzzled. Because he knew very well that even if the Demon King Fragment was a high-profile thing, he would not be able to have such a violent reaction, it was even like an instinctive thirst.

"Demon King Shard, what the hell is that? Does the imperial capital have any demand for it? There are even so many people who rush to it and make a desperate move. Silvermark couldn't help but ask.

"The ten fragments left behind when the Ten Thousand Demon King was sealed, it is rumored that there is a way to activate the 'Demon King's Heart' by gathering ten Demon King fragments, and thus reproduce the magic power of the Ten Thousand Demon King back then, and because it is difficult for the current world to have an apocalypse who is enough to compete with the Demon King, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen, otherwise it will inevitably set off a storm on the mainland."

When answering Silvermark's question, Philia looked solemn, as if reminding Silvermark not to covet the so-called 'Demon King Fragment', otherwise it would definitely cause countless troubles.

Filia's description obviously gave Silver Marks a rough idea of the meaning of Filia's original words, and if she couldn't reach 'whale', it would be a fantasy to go to the vast outside world to explore what it was.

Such a cruel reality made Silvermark a little disappointed, but he realized one thing in a flash, but Filia didn't say it before...... That's right! Filia, who wants to rush to the path of the 'whale', is simply fascinated by the world outside, and they have been on the same line from the beginning!

Thinking of this, Silvermark's eyes suddenly became even more eager when he looked at Filia again, and he completely regarded Filia as his close expedition partner!

"Why are you staring at me with those disgusting eyes all of a sudden?" Filia showed a look of utter undisguised disdain.

"It's nothing, it's just happy." Silver Mark has a lucky smile on her face, if so, with the talent of the genius girl Filia, it won't be long before she can get rid of the original boring life and head towards a different world full of excitement and unknowns, just thinking about it makes it difficult to calm down the excitement!

I don't know if it is in response to the sentence 'life is full of surprises', after the topic of 'whales' and the world pattern ended, Filia said in an unusually flat tone: "Mr. Rowan said that your injuries need to be well recuperated, and for the sake of your extraordinary performance today, you are specially allowed to sleep in bed." ”

“……”

Hey, hey, your overly calm eyes and uncaring face don't really think of me as some kind of animal, do you?!! What Silver Mark had in his heart was only sadness and anger, and he was not happy at all! Not at all! Never!
