Back in the familiar living room, Griffith listened to Anna talk about what had happened in the past few days, and habitually touched his chin: "So, you have sent the news back?"

"Yes. Anna's face was slightly red, "Master Griffith, your life and death are unknown, Lord Gerald only told us that there was an accident in the ceremony, and there was no extra word." I really didn't know what to do, so I released the raven as soon as possible. ”

Although there is magic in this world, there is a lack of effective means of long-range communication. The most common means of communication was still by training birds as messengers, and Griffith kept a raven brought from Carolingburg. The problem is, because it's not easy to train, Griffith only has one here.

From Thousand Sails City to Carolin Fort, it takes less than half a month to walk, and if the raven flies, it takes about two or three days. The reason why I say about it is because the ravens have to forage for food on the road, avoid falcons, and various dangerous flying creatures, such as griffins and bipedal dragons.

As a result, Griffith could no longer contact Carolingburg until the raven returned. It takes five or six days to come and go, and if you want to make any arrangements, it will be too late in time.

"Lord Baron, I think someone will be sent. Anna had anticipation on her face.

"No, you can't just count on home. Griffith shook his head, "There are fewer people coming, it doesn't necessarily work, and it's easy to be ambushed halfway." There are a lot of people coming, what should I do at home?"

"Then we can go with the caravan. Vicente advised, "The Church has a large caravan to Griffon's Heart every month, and it's absolutely safe. ”

Griffon's Heart is the home of the Marquis of Griffin, located in the mountains of the Ilia Peninsula.

Although Thousand Sails City has been fighting with the Griffin family for many years, the council is not monolithic, and through trade cooperation, the Fortune Lady's church has not been less secretly in tune with the Griffin family.

The caravan organized by these two forces in cooperation did not dare to make up their minds.

"What a waste of time. Griffith lowered his voice a little: "Moreover, after my father was injured, the attitude of the Marquis was unknown, and I ran head-on, maybe I fell into the net." ”

Stone was injured in the line of duty, and it was naturally impossible for the Marquis of Griffin to abandon him immediately, otherwise who would be willing to die for the Griffin family in the future?

However, morality and interests are two different things. It's really hard to say how much weight the current Carolingian family still has in the heart of the Marquis. The road from Griffon's Heart to Carolin Fort was not easy either, and as long as the Marquis of Griffin turned a blind eye, Griffith was in danger.

"Why don't we go back for a while? With Lord Gerald here, we will definitely be safe in Thousand Sails City. Although it is a pity that I was not able to participate in the ceremony of Lord Andrew's succession to the title, I believe that Lord Baron and Lord Andrew can understand. Anna thought about it, and simply thought it was better not to go back. "When the Baron's injuries are healed, no one will dare to deal with us. ”

"No, we must go back. "Wounded beasts, once they show their weak side, will be eaten by wolves on their eyes, and Griffith must take this risk for the sake of the family.

There was still a little bit of thought left unspoken, and Griffith didn't want his father and brother to feel that he was too incompetent.

"We take the sea route. ”

In fact, after returning from Black Rock Village, Griffith had such a plan.

The territory of the Carolingian family, located in the northwest of the Ilia Peninsula, has a coastline that is not short - sailing northwest along the coastline from Qianfan City, you can reach the mouth of the Chishui River in about four or five days, and trace the river for hundreds of miles, which is where the Carolingian Fort is located.

Like most of the coast of the Ilia Peninsula, the Chishui estuary is not deep enough for large ships, and except for a small village called Hydra, the rest of the area is wilderness and swamps.

"Vicente, you go to the Church of the Goddess of Commerce tomorrow, and Bailey, you go to the Raven Guild and see if you can contact the ship. Remember, the boat should not be too big, and small cargo or fishing boats are fine. Griffith vaguely remembered that dozens of families in Hydra Village were fishermen, and there should be a place for small boats to dock.

"By the way, and Captain Hyde of the City Guard, hasn't he answered yet?" Griffith's face fell as he remembered the level 4 warriors he planned to recruit his subordinates. The conditions he offered were good enough, and Hyde's hesitation made him feel that the other party was a little ignorant.

"Sorry, Hyde hasn't come to us yet. Bailey hesitated slightly, and then added, "The harvest of the goblins, because if you only need the dragon egg, the rest will be counted on Hyde's head." In particular, the goblin sorcerer's head was discovered for the first time in recent years, and it is said that several councillors have specially summoned Hyde, and some people say that he is about to be promoted to squadron leader. ”

A goblin sorcerer, Griffith found the rumor a bit unreliable. Not to mention the goblin warlocks, even the more harmful ogre magicians may not be able to move the councilors.

As for the position of squadron leader, with Hyde's strength and qualifications, there is still a slight possibility.

No, there must be a demon when things go wrong, Griffith suddenly became alert. "They're probably looking for news about me, are they?"

A battle with all your might will reveal a lot of information. Griffith couldn't expect Hyde to keep it a secret for him. Although this unambitious squad leader once offended his boss because of his upright personality, after sitting on the cold bench for so long, no one can guarantee that he will not be "enlightened".

In this world, the most volatile thing is always the human heart.

If a councillor asks for Griffith's information, how many people can refuse such a good opportunity to hug their thighs? Those big people don't even need to point out, they only need to ask in detail all the details of the battle, and the strength of Griffiths and Anna and others will basically be exposed.

"In that case, then don't take the initiative to contact him again, save face for each other, so as not to be embarrassed. "Hyde hasn't really fought against him yet, Griffith doesn't want to make a big fuss, and it's somewhat useful to keep this connection.

As for the information that might leak out, Griffith didn't care too much, and maybe he could use it to mislead the enemy.

Before you know it, it's the dead of night.

Griffith's mind is immersed in the depths of the sea of knowledge, diligently constructing a model of magic.

At this point, the tremor of the soul that had troubled him in the past no longer appeared, and the imaginary lines continued to split, extend, and intertwine with each other...... The structure, which was so complex that ordinary people would feel dizzy at first glance, was the most familiar to Griffith—a magic that he had studied for two years.

After clearing the remnants of his predecessor's soul, Griffith was finally able to exert his talent and master the first level 2 magic, which was completely natural, and when the mirror shadow technique was completely formed in his mind, Griffith even had an inexplicable pleasure.

"Success!" It turned out that learning magic was such a joyful thing!

Before Griffith could celebrate, a small stream of mysterious power from the magical source sea poured into his body.

Griffith is no stranger to this kind of thing, having experienced it when the previous owner of the body learned the first level 1 magic. This phenomenon, dubbed by magicians as a "congratulatory gift from the sea of magic", will increase the magic power in the body of the magician who has been promoted, and the specific effect will vary from person to person.

Griffith quickly checked his body and found that his magic power had tripled.

That's a bit unscientific.

Ordinary magicians, if their magic power can increase by five or six percent when they are promoted, it is enough to become boastful capital, even if they are recognized geniuses, they can only increase by about double.

"Is it because I've been in Level 1 for too long, and now I'm a lot of money?" Griffith could only guess.

Although it is a good thing, it is not worth being too complacent, the magician can constantly improve his magic through meditation, it is not that you get more benefits when you advance, you can always be better than others, but it saves a lot of water grinding effort.

If the mana cost of using a level 1 mana is defined as 1 point, then each level of mana will cost three times as much mana as the previous level of mana. Of course, this is only a general statement, in fact, each time you use magic, the amount of mana consumed fluctuates, which is related to the activity of the surrounding magic energy, as well as the caster's casting skills.

Griffith used to be able to use three level 1 spells in a row, and his mana was about 3 points, but now it is 9 points, and he can use about 9 level 1 spells in a row, or 3 level 2 spells.

"That way, I can even try to learn level 3 magic!"

What a bonus!

If you can get promoted to level 3 in one go, you will definitely be able to make those who show their fangs to themselves collapse their mouths full of sharp teeth.

When the excitement passed, Griffith silently walked to the dressing mirror, took off his clothes, and then looked at the extra pattern in his heart with mixed feelings.

It was a purple emblem, with a circle in the center of the heart and 12 evenly spaced triangles around it, symbolizing the brilliance of the dark sun. Griffith's mind moved, and a purple flame suddenly gushed out from his body.

Purple Fire, this is the gift of the Lord of the Dark Sun to Griffith, the chosen one.

As a sealed deity, Shiloh was neither able to answer the prayers of his followers nor bestow divine magic. But the Lord of the Dark Sun has always been a ruthless man, and he simply gave all the remaining divine power to Griffith. In this way, Purple Fire will continue to transform Griffith's body until it becomes a vessel for his own resurrection.

"What a terrible gift. Griffith sighed, but he didn't have to worry too much for the time being, it would take at least twenty or thirty years for Zihuo to complete the transformation, and then he might find a solution.
