Chapter 8: The King of Mysteries

Sonya's explanation benefited Griffiths greatly.

"However, human beings have limits after all, and even the bodies of transcendent beings have limitations. By the way, the exception of mental power can be increased to a very high level, which is the main reason why the caster's path advantage is greater. Transcendent wizards may possess the intelligence and mental power of mythical creatures in their quest for the origins of magic, understanding and embodying rules that we would never have dared to think of.

"There's also the risk that you can go crazy because of it. ”

Sonia reminded: "Whether it is a human or a transcendent, 18 points of physique is already a foot on the threshold of inhumanity, Griffith, you have even crossed the edge of danger, and if you go further, you may become a monster." If you have any strange discomfort or symptoms, please be sure to let me know. ”

Griffith nodded in horror.

Sonia thought for a moment:

"I'll tell my family that you're keeping it a secret, you don't have the extraordinary properties of a paladin, and your body is a little abnormal, but there's no need for us to disclose this to the public. In the official records, we still register you as a substitute.

"I'll find you a paladin artifact or seal, and you can use it to disguise if necessary. ”

"You're so considerate...... Griffith said gratefully.

Sonia didn't think it was a big deal: "Isn't it a matter of course to hide your hole cards? And you have a soul pact with me!"

After saying this, Sonia stood up with a happy face: "Okay, let's stop here today! I made an appointment with Galadia to make sweets together, I can give you a piece!"

It's almost February 14th, and the sacred festival of the Sweet Party is just around the corner!

Griffith's eyes lit up, he put on his clothes, and pushed the door open with a single-breasted button.

"Clothes, get dressed first!" Sonia shouted in shock.

Holmonwaltz's bedrooms share one bedroom for two to three people, with each of the three bedrooms sharing a spacious living room. The girls' dormitory is the same as the boudoir, and you can't run around without a special reason.

In order to do some tests for Griffith, Sonia also specially invited Fiona, who was sleeping with her, out to wait in the living room.

Griffith, who had been to the girls' dormitory for the first time, forgot about it at the thought that he would soon be able to get his hands on the failed chocolate products. He pushed open the door, swaggered and buttoned up, and appeared in the living room.

There was no one else in the living room.

Galadia and Fiona were tinkering with something at the table. Miss Elf glanced up at Griffith, who was unhurriedly buttoning her coat and her face relaxed, and then saw Sonia with a panicked face behind the door.

"Bang dang!"

A small bowl in her hand fell on the table, her face was pale, and she was about to lose her footing on the spot.

Fiona stood vigilantly to the side, looked left and right, and decided whether she would fight or run away according to the situation.

"Griffith!" Sonya, who was only wearing a thin nightdress, chased after him and criticized him harshly, "Be elegant at all times, this is the knightly code of our Lamor family!"

After criticizing the trainee knight, Sonia turned to apologize to the elf and best friend: "I'm sorry, next time we'll pay attention to our manners." ”

Galadia grabbed a piece of chocolate that looked like it had just taken shape and looked like a heart, and broke it in half with a "chirp": "Also, there is a ...... next time"

......

"Lab 13? ”

"Have you heard of it?"

"No ......"

The seniors scattered with the bootlegged wine they had bought from Griffith, but no one had heard of Lab 13.

According to Dr. Zion's records, after he obtained the mysterious specimen, a large number of test items were piled up in the warehouse of Laboratory 13. Even if he had cleaned it up, it was likely that there would still be clues left there.

Griffith is like a worm entangled in dense cobwebs, and he has been completely caught up in endless questions. What happened to Iloti, and what kind of experiments did Dr. Zion perform?

What happened to Hepu Town, like many other incidents, was resolved on the surface, but it was like an iceberg that hid more conspiracies.

He had to fumble through the fog of Iloti, Krista, Aaron, and so on, but Galadia's safety was less worried for the time being.

The daughter of the consul can clear a bright and smooth path among the mutated creatures, and there is a transcendent brother to take care of him, is there still a lack of a pawn like me to protect it?

Moreover, after the events of the Whispering Forest, Galadia's aura and psionic energy are becoming more powerful.

Griffith returned to his seat from the hidden bookshelf, his chin resting on his hand.

"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"

Galadia, who was writing rapidly, raised her head and shook her quill in front of Griffith's eyes, "Don't be in a daze, is the report finished? ”

"I'm here, thinking. Griffith stared intently at the elf sitting next to him.

Although her usual personality is a little out of the box, Galadia is very focused when she calms down. As she sat at her desk, her slender curves were revealed. Freshly washed long straight black hair exudes a good smell and is draped around the waist, which is particularly suitable for the fresh and elegant temperament and beautiful appearance.

All in all, it's very good-looking.

"What are you thinking?" the elf sighed.

"Think about how to complete the Intermediate Spell Theory Project Report. ”

"What's the use of you being in such a daze, if you don't start preparing to write, the professor won't let you go when you can't hand in your homework. Galadia nudged Griffith's face with her hand, finally turning his head in the same direction.

"No, I don't write, I can't read the spell configurations. ”

"Wouldn't you have to hurry up and study?"

"No, anyway, I still don't know much about it. It's impossible for me to pass the Intermediate Charms Theory exam, this course is very unsuitable for me, and it takes up so many credits, there must be something wrong with this system," Griffith said firmly, "You have to borrow me the report, or my usual score will be gone." You are my last hope, and I can't sit idly by. ”

The elf clutched his chest, almost carrying it in one gulp.

"Don't be delusional, face it. ”

"Then I'll copy Sonya's. ”

"She's going to lend it to you?" Galadia was taken aback, "How could she have such a serious personality to help you cheat?"

"You're right," Griffith thought for a moment and nodded, "she won't. ”

"Well, what are you going to do now?" the elf felt like he had finally convinced him.

"Rolling on the ground, even if the caretaker comes to drag me, I won't get up," Griffith slowly left his seat, "My face is the same as the city wall, give you three seconds to consider, three ......"

......

According to the newspapers, the riots were mainly veterans of the First Legion of Verona and the Auxiliary Legion of Verona, and that the lords of the Westside received bonuses from the Ministry of Finance, but did not pay them out. They are the only ones who have seen this situation in various places. After that day, the Ministry of the Interior had arranged for ships to send them back to the west. ”

Not far from the library, Fiona covered her gaze with a newspaper and slowly took a sip of black tea.

"Why? where did all the money go?" Sonia looked up incredulously, "That's their people!"

"It is said that it was invested in the stock and futures exchanges, and the big triumph will not be amazing~ The newspapers are saying that the reason for the large influx of funds last winter has been found," Fiona glanced at the table quickly, and immediately retracted her gaze, "Did you draw a card?"

"Well, now it's your turn. Sonia pulled a set of cards from the board and placed them on her right hand.

In front of them was a large chessboard, divided by a dense diamond-shaped grid. There is also a glittering crystal fixed to one side of the chessboard.

"I don't really like this game~ Why is it so popular? Then again, the name "Mystic King" is very strange. The mechanics are as complicated as they get," Fiona picked up the three dice and rolled them towards the crystal, she said as she drew a set of cards and held them up in front of her, "The rules are as inexplicable as the Western nobles' thinking, for the sake of money and titles, you can treat thousands of people like livestock, is this what people do?! ”

"Fiona, you've made a big success," Sonia pointed to the crystal, a string of numbers just popping out of the crystal mirror, "Did you trigger the event?"

Fiona is holding her face with a card, letting out a hehehe. Lana, who was sitting behind her, turned her head to look at her and sighed.

"Win, hehehe, win, Sonya, the victory belongs to Fiona!" Fiona laughed and her shoulders trembled, "My rebels are full of evil, and all civilians within a radius of 20 squares are now my supplies for 5 turns!"

The girl with long hair and waist-length jumped up from the couch, startling everyone in the library.

"The Theory of the Sea of People, crazy bonuses, hahaha, and infinite supplies!There's nothing left to stop me!" Fiona snapped and threw the card onto the chessboard, "Sonya, just today, accept the unwilling and humiliating defeat!"

And said that you don't like this game, and you can't sleep because you want to win...... Griffith, who was sitting at the desk in the distance, rubbed his forehead and couldn't look directly.

Mystery King is a brand new wargame game. Crystals powered by dust crystals can accomplish a large number of complex calculations, which are incomparable to traditional table games and cards. Numerous complex strategies and routes can be simulated through cards, and players can take on the role of kings, lords, generals, and even rebel leaders to participate in historical court battles and supremacy events, and even start battles between multiplayer.

The King of Mysteries became popular immediately. But its events are so real that it even restores the incident of a certain king marrying his own daughter in history, and there is often a strategy of using sheep transformation to make villagers into military food clay pots, and the upper class is violently attacking and threatening to hang the development team.

"It's fun again~ Fiona really won't admit defeat," Galadia pushed the report she had just written in front of Griffith, "The players of this game are all stunned!

"No, I can't. Griffith shook his head resolutely.

"Why not?" the elf was taken aback, not expecting him to be a supporter of this evil game.

Griffith looked at Sonya, who was throwing the dice, and turned to the elf and said seriously:

"There are so many that have slipped through the net. ”

The results of Sonya's dice roll are already out, and if you don't get a good score, she won't trigger a special event.

"Win! My rebels are unstoppable!" Fiona crossed her chin and raised her chin, "As long as it is not a big success, it will not stop the rebel tactics that I have been thinking about for days without sleep, my cards are invincible!"

"Take it, Sonya!

"A sea of rebels with a radius of twenty blocks and unlimited supplies, your movement has been blocked by me!"

Fiona's cheers echoed through the library, and the librarian walked towards her.

Sonia completed the Cavalry Charge Doctrine and Ranged Suppression Doctrine that had been upgraded for a long time in her turn and added it to the deck, defeating the rebels in head-to-head combat. Before Fiona could finish her sentence, her deck was destroyed at the same time.

"Forehead ......"

Fiona's cheers were choked in her throat and she stood there stunned for a while.

"Rebels! Doing such a thing to my rebels! This is an unbalanced game!"

Fiona is captured by the librarian.

“......”

The library was calm again, and Sonia pressed the corners of her mouth and began to collect the cards and chessboard.

"Now, let's play auto-chess for a while!" the elf poked Griffith, who was struggling with his elbow, "Your knights won't be able to beat my marksman." ”

"Not today, I can't stop playing every time," Griffith firmly refused, "I need to hurry up and write a report." ”

"Huh, what did you just say?"

"I didn't have a choice," Griffith replied, "and now that I have your report, I'll get a few more points." ”

"Hit you!"

"I'll probably go to the Westside once in the near future," Griffith said, suddenly turning to a new topic, "and judging by the newspapers, the situation there is getting more and more tense." ”
