Chapter 37: Loraldes Basilico: Introduction to the Magic of the Listener (Part II)

Sonia sat in front of Griffith in a beautiful slim school skirt. Her long blonde hair was tied in an elegant bun at the back of her head. From the point of view of the midshipman, his white neck and delicate earlobes were less than twenty centimeters in his hand. As soon as he looked down, he could see the girl's slender waist that he could almost hold with one hand.

"Is my hair tied up?" Sonia whispered, somewhat uncomfortably, to Galadia who was sitting next to her.

"I'll help you comb it later," the elf with long straight black hair looked at Sonya, "I have a hairpin~ I'll use it for you first?"

"Hmm," Sonia replied in as low a voice as she could, gently brushing the ends of her hair that were hanging from her ears.

The girls occupy the first few rows of this large classroom. Most of their Shultolar sat in the back two rows, right next to their conservation targets.

Boys from the nobility and commoners sat further back. Many people felt that the professor would not see them over a large crowd, and they were very relieved to be tinkering with something.

"Before the advent of professional magical teaching, nobles were accustomed to teaching their offspring to become mages at home," said the black-haired professor Loraldez Basrico Listener in a constant tone, "and this non-rigorous education passed on the secret methods of the family, as well as ...... Techniques for Death...... Lightning, pointing, whipping. ”

The last few words were a spell, and Lourdes skipped most of the spell chanting and triggered a silver snake-like arc towards the middle of the student.

"Crackle!"

The eldest son of a baron was knocked out on the spot, and the knick-knacks he had placed on the long table from nowhere were burned into a pile of charcoal. Several aristocratic boys sitting nearby had their faces blackened.

"Ahh

The lecture hall, which was filled with all kinds of small noises just a moment ago, fell silent, and everyone immediately sat up straight.

Loalds looked at his results with a hint of mockery on his face, and waved his hand to summon two brownie elves. The dwarf servant creature laboriously lifted the eldest son of the baron, who had been beaten away, and carried him out.

"I know that many of you have developed a shallow understanding of magic and don't think the beginner course is worth mentioning," Loaldus's knife-like gaze swept across the rows of cadets before finally resting on Sonya, "Ignorance makes you fearless. Tell me, Miss Sonia de la Morr, how many of your family's recent generations have gone mad and even ...... because of uncontrolled magic? Death?"

Ahh

The words of the High Mage seemed to carry an irresistible magic and inducement, and when he pronounced the words "madness" and "death", the wand frantically overflowed with terrifying power. Sonia felt as if she was being enveloped by an invisible strangeness, and her whole body was plunged into coldness and fear.

Normal words usually do not trigger magic. A complete spell requires the burning of mental power as the driving energy, and at the same time, the complete spell is used to construct energy forms, which are then activated by specific commands. However, veteran mages tend to set up their "mantras" to skip some of the chanting, and use the power of magic with just a few words.

Griffith noticed that the girl's shoulders were trembling slightly, her complexion was as pale as ice, and some kind of gray presence was surrounding her body.

Oops!

Griffith immediately stood up and walked around to Sonya's side in two steps.

Galadya, who was sitting on the side, was also shocked by the inexplicable power. Although she was not the direct target of Lourdes, she was also in confusion and confusion for a while.

At this moment, a warm and warm force appeared beside them. Sonia regained her composure as if she had been fished out of a sea of ice. She looked up and saw that Griffith's determined body had come to the front of him, like a mountain to block the fear that had thrown her.

Griffith was already in a fighting stance. He bent slightly to put himself in a state ready to explode, the anger and blood in his body rushing, spreading with the hot snort and gaze.

"Shuto-Ral. ”

Archmage Lourdes muttered like a curse, the lingering aftermath of which was unbearable. He withdrew his gaze from Sonia and stared into Griffith's eyes.

There was silence in the classroom. Fiona, who had just drawn a bunny in her notebook, was frightened and wanted to ask what was going on but didn't dare to open her mouth. Lana, Midianmayer, and several of Shitolar clenched their fists, and the terrifying wizard suddenly exuded a terrifying sense of oppression that made their entire bodies tense.

Damn...... Griffith, this idiot, provoked the high-level archmage in the first class! How did this end? Ophelia looked left and right in panic, for fear that everyone would start to do it in the next moment.

"Tell me, Knight-in-Command, who got you out of your seat?" asked Loalds in a hoarse voice.

"As the heraldic officer of the House of Lamour, when asked about the venerable ancestors of the family, I should answer for Miss Lamour according to the etiquette. Griffith was startled at first, but immediately reacted and replied mildly with an unchanged expression.

"Five years ago, Councillor Fiennes de la Morr died in an experiment after coming into contact with a hidden being, and fifteen years ago, Count Rabbis de Lamour, Viscount Lugurus de Lamour, fell while fighting against an evil being......"

Griffith spoke slowly about the tragic fate of several of the ancestors of the Lamor family, which were kept in the library of the Earls' Court. His tone was not sad, as high and solemn as a celebration of heroic deeds.

Sonia looked up at Griffith in surprise. She had recovered from her panic and was staring blankly at Griffith with the rest of the cadets.

Griffith paused as he flashed back in time to say the fifth ancestor of the fallen Lamours. The conversation had been diverted, and the Cadet Knight returned to his normal stance, looking at Professor Lourdes with unhostile eyes.

"Get back to your seat, Cadet Knight, raise your hand to get my permission before answering a question next time," Lourdes twitched the corners of his mouth and wrote quickly on the list with his pen, "Griffith Brandon's final grade, 5 points deducted." ”

Immediately afterward, the professor did not give a chance to appeal, and raised his voice, like a saw, pulling over everyone's eardrums, "After listening to the famous and tragic past of the Lamor family, have your shallow brains become more cautious? Chapter 2, page 67, The Development of Charms and the Foundations of Inspiration......"

Griffith breathed a sigh of relief, his blood qi could only last for more than a dozen seconds, and slowly took two steps back to his seat. As he stepped back, Sonia quickly turned her head to look at him, her blue eyes sparkling.

"The existence of magic takes the form of networks of magical energy and constructs," Professor Lourdes continued, "and through inspiration, even if the creature itself cannot use spells, he can perceive the presence of magic by listening, observing, touching, or meditating."

"Pay attention, be cautious when listening, observing, touching, or meditating. ”

......

The Introduction to Magic didn't end until lunchtime, during which Archmage Lourdes gave everyone only a few short breaks. Finally, the unsmiling archmage gave a reading assignment of three books and asked everyone to submit a report before Thursday's class. When he was about to go out, his cold eyes swept over Sonya, as if to see through her gaze, making the girl a spirit again.

"Let's go eat!" Galadia quickly patted Sonia on the shoulder, helping her comb the ends of her hair that hung down, "My afternoon classes are light spells and divination theory, and in the evenings are potions. ”

"Me too!" Sonia turned to look at her apprentice knight, "Griffith, what about you?"

"My course is infantry command and standard barracks, and it's a shame that we can't do it together," Griffith said, "and I'm going to use the evening time for self-study." ”

"A lot of Shultolar's classes aren't with us," Fiona walked over briskly and grabbed Sonya's arm, "I hope the professor in the afternoon is cute." Ha~ I'm tired to death in the morning. ”

At Hommonwards, a buffet-style lunch was served, and students of all grades gathered in the hall to bring bread, ham, roast chicken, yogurt, vegetable salad and pudding from the table next to the table, and ate them at a long table.

The hall is bustling with activity, just like a spring market.

There's no extra charge for the food!, Griffith filled his plate full of goodies and headed over to the long table. The girls, with Galadia and Sonia as the core, have taken up a large position, leaving no space for the apprentice knights.

Galadia looked up at the bewildered midshipman, then looked at the empty seat, then quickly moved back and winked at him.

It's girls' time, you sit over there......

Good, good, Griffith exclaimed, he didn't expect the elf's eyes to speak.

It's no different from the couches of the Bayeran balls and banquets. The brightest girls were in a small circle, and next to them were several nobles and daughters of the mage family, and more peripheral were girls from commoners. Sonia ate elegantly with dining etiquette, occasionally stopping to say a word or two to the girls on the edge of the circle so they weren't embarrassed.

Griffith looked from the sidelines, and saw that there was no need or possibility to join in. There were several families of Shultolar who were also eating on the side. They have not yet formed a clique and seem to be enjoying the food in front of them very much.

"Mr. Probationary Knight. A somewhat familiar voice sounded from behind.

Griffith turned around and found a man in a Holmonwood teacher's robe looking at him from a short distance. His countenance was kind and gentle.

Veronos!

In the Eastern Province, it was he who led his men to support Griffith and Galadia, who were attacked by the garrison mage Rudias.

"Professor Veronos?"

"Haha, I'm just an associate professor, long time no see," the associate professor began, "Have you eaten together? I heard that you're still alive after you hit 'Dry Ice' Loaldes." ”

Will the associate professor eat with the students?" Griffith nodded immediately and sat down on the side.

"Have you taken the Cultivation Gold and Potions course?" asked the kind associate professor, "After witnessing Rudias's crazy research, I guess you won't forget what you witnessed that day." ”

"No, associate professor," Griffith replied honestly. He had enough lessons on Monday and had to set aside time for reading and homework.

"Well, that's not going to work, I'm going to put you on the student list," Veronus said, chewing on a baked potato, "The last thing you can't miss as a spellbreaker is alchemy and potions, listen to me." ”

Using orcs, elves, and goblins to create monsters with anti-complex intercourse, crazy beyond the bottom line. However, the strong orcs are so powerful. The potions that heal the body and restore mental strength are also very magical.

I was really intrigued and curious.

I really don't have the time, though. Griffith was about to refuse, when suddenly, the "Potions Mixing Notes" he had been carrying with him for the past two days suddenly began to heat up. As he touched the note in surprise, strange information flooded his brain.

The notes showed some notes on Potions, waiting for him to flip through them.

"My field of specialization is the cultivation of magical life," Assistant Instructor Veronos said to Griffith, "Many of the demons you see in this academy, from owls and bats to brownies and rock golems, are all taken care of and nurtured by me. ”

Griffith involuntarily turned his head to look at the brownie elves on the side of the hall who were constantly delivering baked meals.

"Hehe, yes, Brownie is also a magical lifeform," Veronus followed Griffith's gaze and naturally spotted his focus, "You can come to Potions 2 when you have time, which is the hatchery base on the second basement level of the Northwest Tower. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency Associate Professor, I'm really interested," Griffith nodded, "I always thought they were naturally reproduced beings. ”

"Brownies don't have females, and they don't have the desire or ability to mate," Veronus dug up another spoonful of chickpeas and put them in his mouth, "Creatures that don't have the need to reproduce will be more obedient, and their emotions will not fluctuate easily, so they are very good assistants for magical experiments." ”

"But why did you look for me?" asked Griffith, "I am Shotoral, and my magical attainments are limited by flesh. ”

"What do you think, you're just a subject of magic that will be affected," Veronus smiled, "Alchemy requires knowledge, passion, meticulousness, a strong will, and hands, and it has little to do with magical talent. Over the years, too little attention has been paid to alchemy by the most accomplished archmages in the field of enchantment, which has hindered the development of the discipline. ”

"I have always sought to join the noble and promising field of alchemy," the associate professor continued, "and the professor's focus is on theoretical research, and the preparation of potions is left to me and the students. Hey~ You know, it's hard to even secure the necessary amount of potential potion production each year. Alchemy requires a nimble-minded, strong-willed newcomer like you to join. You know, we have a little bit of a stipend, and every year there is always a little surplus of product in the potions we concoct, how to deal with it~ The professor doesn't care. ”

Sounds good...... Griffith knew that magic potions were hugely useful for healing, strengthening, and more, but they were too expensive to afford.

Now that there's such an opportunity in front of you, why not give it a try!

"Thanks, Associate Professor Veronos," Griffith nodded, "then ......"

"Very well, I'll add you to the list, prepare for the alchemy class in the evening, and come to the second laboratory to find me when it's over!" Veronus said happily, "Trust me, this job will bring you a lot of unexpected help to your course!
