Every important town and port in Bayeran has an echo hub for the transmission of information. Originally, communication between regions depended on a slow postal system or magic or animals such as ravens and owls, but over the years, echo crystals, which relied on the power of magic, have become more and more important in communication.

Although the echo node erected on the tower cannot transmit goods, it can transmit words or sounds across hundreds of miles in a very short time, and its significance in trade and futures trading is self-evident. Of course, the price is also scary.

This service was part of the work of the mages stationed in the past for a long time, but after the commercial value was gradually discovered in practice, the operation of the Echo Crystal was relocated to a special tower, and the courier letters and demon communications were placed on a different level, becoming the communication center of the region.

Personal echo crystals for small-scale communication are also gaining popularity, threatening to revolutionize the way we communicate and communicate.

Griffith found the local Echo Hub not far from the Mage Tower. It was extremely busy, with a large number of parcels and letters being unloaded from the ship and sorted and delivered on the ground floor.

The second floor is an area dedicated to small animals such as messengers and delivery pigeons. There is a special person to take care of and arrange the sending and receiving of it.

The third level is the true Echo Hub. It is said that the highly inspired Extraordinaire would hear loud and ethereal voices here, Griffith tried, but heard nothing.

"I'd like to check if there's any correspondence from Elusa Valkyrie to Griffith Blanton. Griffith asked, sitting down at a counter.

"I suggest you go to the mail center on the first floor first," replied the little girl across the counter without looking up, "Letters are not usually delivered through echoes. ”

Her hand tapped frequently on a piece of crystal, pausing every few moments to write a few words. She didn't have the aura of an extraordinary, but there seemed to be some way for her to hear the echoes in the crystal.

"How did you hear the echo?" asked Griffith curiously.

"You can hear it when you touch it, get closer," the little girl still didn't look up, "go to the first floor, you're interfering with me." ”

Griffith hurriedly retreated, back down the noisy first-floor hall. There, sure enough, you can find letters and packages sent by Elusa.

"Letter from Elusa Valkyrie

"Dear Griffith, my little brother, are you still comfortable with life in Holmonwards? Have you been promoted to knight or third-class assault squadron leader? I don't think so, so you're still my little brother!"

Griffith couldn't help but laugh. Elusa refers to the midshipmen in the squadron by words like "junior", "minions", and "minions", and often mingles with everyone.

It's really mingling.

"I'm writing in the hope of getting help from my minions.

"You returned to the rear before the end of the battle, so you probably didn't know that the fools of the Eastern Legion lost a lot of files and letters after the victory in the battle, either the transport ship ran aground and sank, or the warehouse caught fire, and everyone's luggage was also lost.

"The guys in the squadron have recently written to me asking me to provide relevant supporting materials to help them return to their hometowns to work or enroll in schools. The Reserve Command also requires the relevant certificate to assist in the registration of files. After I issued the certificate, the local fool felt that one certificate was not enough, and he had to come back again. So, I thought of you.

"The attachment is a document that the guys need to sign, you need to check their information separately, the battle situation and the latest situation as far as you know, it's not complicated, fill it out carefully and send it to your sister, be quick!

"If there is an urgent matter, I can be contacted through the Echo Hub, and Beacon Academy will relay it in a timely manner. However, don't use that if you have nothing to do, you need 10 su for each word, why didn't the Kingdom Communications and Echo Company just go and rob the central bank's vault.

"Greetings?

"Oh yes, Amber is my new minion? You have to get along well. ”

Attached to the back of the letter was a thick stack of papers, all of which required proof and forms from Griffith.

Elusa had already written down the situation very carefully, filed it in a classified manner, and even filled out the statement of the situation when Griffith had left the army, as long as he checked and signed it.

Continue.

Griffith remembers that the Squadron Leader II would be very careful to arrange for everyone to camp and eat when they were not fighting. Although the food on the Eastern Front was poor, and the accommodation was not good, Elusa always made everyone more comfortable than the other squadrons. When she doesn't call everyone minions and minions, she will remember everyone's birthdays and training progress, and enlighten and comfort those frightened companions.

If you don't see Elusa do it, you will definitely think that she is a good wife who is careful, gentle and considerate, and has to take care of more than 100 children every day. The top and bottom of the 502 Wing said so. As long as she doesn't do it.

That's not the point!

Griffith hurriedly flipped through the documents about the squadron's situation, almost straight to the information he wanted to see.

Transport and logistics team? No.

Grooms and weapons maintenance squads, no.

Assault infantry squads, no.

Mounted assault cavalry, this is it!

The core of the squadron, the mounted assault cavalry, should have 17 men, 16 officers and sergeants in addition to the commander-in-chief, Elusa Valkyrie, and the file of Christa should be in it.

Griffith, almost trembling with his hands, flipped through the papers, counting names. ......

The file was discontinued at the place of the 14th person, and there was no follow-up. Except for his own information, which was not necessary, it was the lack of Christa.

Griffith began to sweat on his forehead, and he quickly checked the files of the other squads and the squadron formation summary.

There was no information about Christa at all, and the rest of the squadron was recorded whether they were killed, wounded, or alive in the final stages, but there was no Krista at all.

The armored assault cavalry group is so short of one person!

Griffith rushed up to the third floor almost on his hands and feet to the service center of Echo Crystal Communications.

"Quick, I need to send a communication to the Beacon Academy!" Griffith shouted in a voice that startled the waitress.

The minutes after the message was sent were almost like years. Generally speaking, replies during working hours are fast, and as long as Elusa is not out on a mission, a special echo hub for colleges and universities such as Beacon will reply immediately.

Sure enough, fifteen minutes later, Elusa's reply came.

There were only a few words on the little note.

"Who is she".

......

Neopolis is the largest island in the Broken Sea.

When explorers first set foot on this beautiful island, they were warmly welcomed by the hot winds of the south, lush forests and sweet mountain spring fruits.

Since then, groups of immigrants have migrated from far and wide to settle on the island.

Griffith's childhood was spent here. He finished basic school here, received basic training in the way of knighthood, and practiced martial arts with his brother every day before dawn. However, the only relatives who remain on the island are my uncle's family.

The feudal knights of Blanton had recently been granted a territory in the southern province for their outstanding exploits in the war, and had left with their families for the fiefdom. He owned his own estate and estate, and was a rare treat among the many formal knights.

According to the kingdom's inheritance laws, realms and titles can only be inherited by one person. The other heirs, while not having the right to inherit, had to bear a special tax for the family - the war for the king. Therefore, after graduating from the junior non-commissioned officer school, Griffith was immediately sent to the Far East to fight the orcs.

Griffith's heart was very heavy. He thought Galadia, Aaron, and the Whispering Forest to be the most puzzling experiences of his life, but he was stunned by the strange clues about Christa.

There are two possibilities, and neither is a good thing.

For one, Griffith suspects that he has contracted battlefield syndrome in the East, which is very insidious, but once it occurs, it will bring madness and confusion, and even accumulate false memories and cognitions, and suicide is a common fate for patients.

If it's another possibility, it's terrifying.

Someone tampered with Griffith's memory, or simply tampered with the memories of the rest of the squadron and even the entire wing, destroying documents and materials, and completely erasing Christa's existence. What would those people do if they found out that Griffith still had memories?

It's horrible.

Warm sea breezes from the sea blow through lush vineyards and farmlands, and groups of children run with their dogs in the shade and ridges. Chilly, Griffith walked along the sunny path, trying to reminisce about his past memories and distract himself.

He could only try not to think about it. Wait until you get a chance to meet the powerful and mature Elusa again and ask her opinion. Hope she's safe.

......

It's been four years since Griffith last appeared here. The childhood home, which was full of memories, has been sold and has become someone else's property.

However, there is a saying on Neopolis that when you leave home as a young man, the memories of life on Neopolis will bring you back here. Maybe it's so different because of living here, or it's because it's different.

Griffith's destination, the town of Heura, is indeed different. With brown eyes and black hair, the residents of Tsurupo have soft and delicate faces, and their eyes are resolute and witty. Griffith's appearance is a blend of the characteristics of both parents, black hair and brown eyes, but the edges and corners of his face are more distinct, and his eyes are as sharp as a knife.

His uncle, Zion, a respected medical doctor, had taught at Holmonwarts but had been away for a number of years.

The trainee knight carried a small package on his back and carried his weapon to the station side of the market square and waited for the public carriage to go to Tsurupo. It wasn't long before a small two-horse horse-drawn carriage rattled along the gravel path, turned a corner, and stopped on the curb beside him.
