Griffith's room was on the highest attic of the Earl's Court, a small bedroom with only a bed, table and chairs. Outside the window is the sloping roof and the garden of the inner courtyard. His luggage and weapons had been brought here, stuffed in the gap under the bed.

"Whoo~"

The apprentice knight who climbed the stairs and digested a little food collapsed on the bed as soon as he entered the room. After the sound of the hoofs of the guests in the courtyard was gone, the silver moonlight shone on the white bed, and there was no sound at all.

After leaving the lively barracks, Griffith has been traveling with Galadia. It's been a while since I was alone and quietly enjoying a room like this.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Griffith's mind.

Ah, every meal of the other guests was not finished, only a little bit! Griffith suddenly realized something was wrong. Could it be that this is table manners?

Then wouldn't it be silly for me to eat up all the food, and no one reminded me... It would be a waste not to eat such a delicious dinner. Ouch, I can't sleep because of the swelling!

Griffith rolled on the bed, dressed again and went downstairs to see if he could find a broom to clean the room and digest it.

The deep mansion made it difficult to discern the direction. After a few turns, Griffith lost his way and stood in front of the Dodge Gate. The door is also engraved in beautiful small print.

library.

Opening the door carefully, the apprentice knight found that the collection of books in the Earl's House was extremely amazing. The huge double-layered library was stacked with bookshelves, and there were sliding ladders and rails for easy access.

Griffith trembled with excitement, reading these books does not cost money! He stroked the exquisite cover and walked slowly, not knowing which one to read for a while.

Suddenly, a black shadow wriggled around the desk not far away and turned into a human figure.

Mutant creatures!

Griffith never thought that there would be monsters parasitizing in the shadows in the Earl's Palace. He was so shocked that his heart stopped for two seconds, and his hand immediately pressed on the saber.

As the dark shadow slowly unfolded, a pale and handsome face appeared.

At this time, Griffith realized that there was only a young man about his age lying beside the desk. He was dressed in black, and the candle by his hand was extinguished, and he looked as quiet as a block of wood.

"Good evening," the apprentice knight said hoarsely, "I'm Griffith Blanton, second-level squad leader, Cytolar of Earl's Court."

"Well, good evening, Mr. Apprentice Knight," the young man in the shadow slowly stood up and looked at Griffith, "I am Armance Soren of the Monastery of Truth, apprentice monk."

People from the Church of the Holy Light! Relax when Griffithston. Many of the apprentices and nuns of the Church of the Holy Light served in the military and were his good friends.

The young boy in front of him had a frighteningly pale face. He didn't know whether it was because of his poor diet or rest. Having said that, Krista is the same, she has a stubborn will in her slenderness, and her emotionally rich eyes wandering in melancholy and firmness, which is extraordinarily lovable.

Sauron wore black clothes just like Griffith, but more plain, without even the patterns and lines of the pendants, when he curled up in a ball, it was really pitch black.

"What are you doing here?" Griffith glanced at the books spread out on the table. "Any homework?"

"Yes, I serve as the earl's secretary during the day, and I have to catch up with the course schedule at night," Sauron replied, his tone somewhat indifferent and arrogant.

However, his eyes did not leave Griffith's straight coat, the sword on his waist and the boots on his feet. Although his eyes were calm, his persistent eyes made people feel very hot.

"You came back from the front?" Sauron asked, "Is it a cavalry?"

"Yes~" Griffith nodded,"There are monks like you in our wing. They are my good friends. Have you served in the army?"

"no."

This is just a casual question. Sauron apprentice cultivator was tall, but quite thin, and his face, which was whiter than that of a young girl, made people worry that he would faint suddenly.

However, he is really handsome and has beautiful eyes, um, that kind of beauty that fits the aesthetics of a big city... Griffith turned his head unconsciously to look at his shadow on the window, the hard edges and corners were like a block The bang bang stone, the temperament of the whole body is earthy.

"Is Shutoral interested in mysticism?" Sauron also stared at the apprentice knight's sword and boots when he spoke, his eyes almost grew out of hands, and he said like a clockwork toy. , "If you're preparing for a course at Homonwarts, I can recommend you a list of books."

"Thank you so much!"

Griffith was immediately drawn to the friars taking hardcover books and pamphlets from the shelves. These books and documents recorded the establishment of Bayeran, the origin and recent history of the Larmor family, and general knowledge of magic and Beyonder characteristics, all of which he had never seen before.

The apprentice knight immediately took off his saber and put it on the table, picked up a booklet and read it.

This is a quarterly publication that chronicles Bayeran's black market and underground dealings...

On Tussock Street in Lower Bayeran, hundreds of years of rubbish and corpses lie beneath the dirt and rubble, and disease and sin breed in the uncharted land. As the chaotic evil spirits lingered there, the effectiveness of the detect and track spell was greatly affected, and the long street south of the city became a sanctuary for smugglers and cultists.

A large number of non-hair items from the East and the South are being traded there.

Seeing this, Griffith's mind couldn't help but move.

Magic items are easily disturbed by the fluctuations of blood and suffocation on the battlefield where the army is scrambling to form unreliable energy, but it is very effective in small-scale battles. Even the shield formed by the wielding wand of a powerless wizard can block Griffith's attacks in one-on-one combat.

Whenever he thinks of this, Griffith wants to buy himself some magic items.

It's just that the production and trading of these good things all need to be recorded, exclusively for the use of nobles and some Beyonders. In Griffith's capacity, possession of most items is illegal. If you want to get started, you can only start from the black market.

Griffith quickly scanned the information on Tussock Street, put the pamphlet aside, and took out a book on the modern history of occultism.

The precious knowledge of several extraordinary pathways is recorded on it.

Griffith opened the path of the lawbreaker that he cared about most, and found that there was still only incomplete information there.

"Lawbreaker pathway sequence 9, titled 'Recruits'. Extraordinary in this sequence can get promotion opportunities through long-term physical training, and the necessary grammar and mathematics knowledge are also essential. Once they become Extraordinary The 'recruiters' can obtain a strong body, good strength, agility, and endurance, and can drive the spiritual power of certain magical items. The 'recruits' can choose to attack the spellbreaker, the paladin, and the witcher. irreversible promotion."

This is the state of Griffith. After two years on the battlefield, the official appraisal believes that he is irreversibly moving towards the next sequence of lawbreakers. Unlike Paladins and Demon Hunters, the high-order knowledge of the spellbreaker pathway has been lost over the years, and if no measures are taken, Griffith is likely to stop at Sequence 7.

"Sequence 8 'Barrier Breaker', the Extraordinary of this sequence can weaken the magical effects directly acting on the body, and has a certain chance to break through the illusion, resist fear, charm and other mental spells. In addition, the Extraordinary is in During the promotion process, one or two different extraordinary abilities may be mastered.”

"Sequence 7 'Spellbreaker' is the highest sequence of the known spellbreaker pathway. Beyonders have a strong ability to resist direct-acting magic, and are able to significantly interfere with spellcasting activities at close range. They cannot eliminate indirect spellcasting. Influence. Extraordinary may master one or two different Extraordinary abilities during the promotion process. Extraordinary in this sequence need rich practical experience in order to be promoted. A hearty battle is the best catalyst, and there are even views that bloody battles It is the ritual necessary for their promotion.

"Although the Sequence 7 'lawbreaker' is sufficient to serve as the core of the army, the materials, knowledge and rituals required for further promotion have been lost in the first era, resulting in lawbreaker officers often at a disadvantage when attacked by powerful enemies ."
