In the Griffin Mansion's backyard, Sylutia raised her hand, multiple rune marks flashed across her eyes, and then a small triangular missile appeared in her hand.
This missile slows down Rotation. As a pure condensation of extraordinary power, it is far less strong than metal and is currently similar to lightweight wood.
[Missile Shot]
This small triangular missile sprang out and hit an erected target in the distance. Under the precise control of Sylutia, the accuracy was good, but it was not powerful enough to cut off small branches and could only be used to knock down small berries.
If the equivalent power of Aspect Power is used to strengthen one's own blood circulation and improve physical fitness, the combat effectiveness will far exceed this weak attack. It is no wonder that people say that Mage should not expect too high combat effectiveness before the third level.
Adjusting her breathing, Sylutia concentrated again, and another small "missile" appeared. Then after her adjustments, she lengthened the structure and made it as flat as possible. Then she launched the missile again and hit the target in the distance.
The missile was embedded in it, and the target made of straw rope broke several dead grass.
Seeing the effect, Sylutia continued to improve the structure, but if the flat structure continued, it would be difficult to maintain the "Sturdiness" runes. After the edge became an acute angle of 30 degrees, Sylutia gave up continuing to flatten and sharpen it, and tried to add the "Rotation" runes to the spell model.
After several failed model constructions, Sylutia finally completed a new version of the "missile". When it appeared in Sylutia's hand, it started Rotation, and the speed gradually increased, until finally, when it was as fast as an afterimage, it was launched again by Sylutia, this time directly cutting off a small branch, which increased the attack power.
Is this the charm of Mage spells? You can constantly adjust and change them to enhance and improve the effect. Sylutia nodded slightly.
In this case, let's call the new version of the spell "Rotating Missile".
After practicing his new spell ability, Sylutia returned to the mansion. It was almost time for lunch.
In the Griffin Family, everyone in the family usually comes together for dinner, but lunch is different. Mrs. Haye often hangs out with friends, and the same goes for Eliel. Although Ecol doesn't attend so many parties, he has to practice swordsmanship, so he usually doesn't eat at home.
Today was still a day for lunch alone at home. Sylutia was sitting at the dining table. Two kitchen maids brought her a carefully prepared barbecue pie, cut fruits, and a small bowl of vegetable soup.
Savor it carefully, Sylutia was about to eat some fruit after eating the salty pie, when a burst of hurried footsteps ran across the front yard.
"Sir, madam--" The voice sounded like it was the attendant next to Ecol.
After he shouted for a while, the housekeeper went over to talk to him, and then there was another hurried sound.
What happened? Sylutia sped up, finished the bowl of soup, and then stood up.
"Come out with me, Margo."
"Yes, Miss." The maid aside temporarily put aside the idea of clearing the table and followed Sylutia quickly out of the restaurant.
At this moment, the girl saw the servant who was preparing to ride out. She curiously asked the butler about the situation. The other man seemed to be a little secretive and hesitated for a while before speaking.
" Something happened to Master Ecol."
"Oh, what happened?" Sylutia asked.
"It is said that some misunderstandings occurred, which put Master Ecol in a very dangerous situation." The butler wiped his forehead.
Seeing that he couldn't explain for a while, Sylutia shook his head and looked at the panting attendant.
"Take me to where it happened."
After hearing this, the servant first looked at the housekeeper, then gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Miss, I will take you there right now." After saying that, he walked quickly towards the gate of the mansion.
As they walked on the road, the attendant told what happened.
It turns out that this morning, a small competition was held at Racecourse in the city. The participants were all young people from the upper class circles in the city. Most of them had been trained and knew some weapons, and they all had the basic "First Order" Aspect Power.
Not long after the competition started, many ladies came to watch, because they were holding a tea party in a nearby mansion, so they happened to hear about the competition and came over.
At first, everything was normal. Some people won and some lost in the competition, and some cheered. Because they all used wooden swords and wore armor, there were no casualties. At most, there were some scratches and bruises.
At noon, the competition was suspended, and everyone was going to take a break and have lunch together before continuing in the afternoon.
It was during this process that an accident occurred. Vierluna, a well-known beauty in the upper class circle of Quebes, disappeared briefly and was found unconscious in a cabinet in the men's locker room with messy clothes. What's even more fatal is that when she was discovered, Ecol happened to be using that locker room.
This caused an uproar. Many people believed that Ecol knocked Vierluna unconscious, and then took him to the locker room to do something wrong. Ecol couldn't explain anything. No matter how he explained, no one else listened. Among them, several of Vierluna's best friends even encouraged those present to judge Ecol.
"So, did Miss Vierluna wake up at that time?" Sylutia asked.
"When she was discovered, Ms. Vierluna was in a coma. After some treatment, her face was wiped with water and she slowly woke up."
"Then what did she say?"
"Ms. Vierluna said that she sweated a little while watching in the morning, so she went to change clothes, and then she lost consciousness as soon as she entered the dressing room. She doesn't know what happened after that."
"So, she doesn't know who knocked her out, right?"
"That's true, but Miss Vierluna is in poor condition. Others can't ask for more information, and many other ladies present believe that it was Master Ecol who did it." The attendant said helplessly.
"I probably know the situation." Sylutia sighed. This was obviously a trap. I don't know who framed it deliberately, or whether Ecol was just unlucky enough to encounter this kind of thing.
Twenty minutes later, Sylutia and his attendants arrived at Racecourse. There were still many people surrounding the place, and the city's security team also sent people over.
Before they even got close, Sylutia heard a quarrel, with a sharp-tongued female voice on one side and a submissive male voice on the other.
"Are you just covering up dirty criminals like this? Can you just let him off lightly by saying there is insufficient evidence?"
"Miss Ginny, this matter needs careful investigation, please don't be so excited." The voice sounded very mature, and he was probably the leader of the security team.
"This is Vierluna's reputation dispute. If we don't explain it clearly on the spot, we will let her live her life in the future." The female voice raised her pitch again.
"This..."
Sylutia, led by the servant, walked through the crowded crowd and arrived at the scene.
At this moment, Vierluna was being held in the arms of several girlfriends, with a thin blanket wrapped around him. On the other side, Ecol was standing on the other side with an uneasy expression, surrounded by several guards. However, several of his good buddies still stood together and did not let go of him, continuing to argue with the girl opposite.
When Sylutia came over, many people recognized her and whispered about her.
"That is Griffin Family's third lady. It is said that Lady Sara is very fond of her now."
"Isn't she an illegitimate daughter?"
"Who knows, anyway, it is said that she is Alanfude's niece."
"She is very beautiful, not bad compared with Vierluna."
"Is she here to help, but this time it's very strange." In fact, many people on the side saw something was wrong, but no one stood up specifically for Ecol.
Taking a deep breath, Sylutia came to the center of the debate.
"May I ask who you are and why you keep blaming my brother." She made her expression as serious as possible.
Being interrupted, the girl in the yellow dress across from me frowned, stretched out her hand, and was about to open Sylutia, and continued to point at Ecol and curse.
Facing such unreasonable people, Sylutia also has a big problem. She is not good at handling such situations, but if her momentum weakens at this moment, it will only be more troublesome in the future.
Thinking about who in her memory was the best at solving this kind of problem, Sylutia's thoughts quickly turned to recall. Although she had heard from others that her mother had a very strong aura when she was young and was often the leading socialite in aristocratic circles, but she had never inherited that aura, and had never seen how her mother handled various chores among her best friends and peers when she was young.
Fortunately, when she was a child, she met another peer with a strong aura, and because the two played together for a long time, she also experienced many scenes where the other party dealt with such conflicting issues.
This time I can only learn Elysia. I hope I can hold on and not get discouraged halfway.
Sylutia opened his eyes again at this time, without turning his head, he directly grabbed the girl in the yellow dress who passed by him, pulled her arm forward, and almost knocked her over.
"You..." The other party just raised his head and was about to curse when a crisp slap sounded at the scene.
This time, the opponent was blinded, covering his face, his eyes full of disbelief.
The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at this scene in surprise.
"Didn't you hear what I was talking about?" Sylutia raised his chin slightly, staring directly at the other party with his sharp eyes, which made the other party's momentum suddenly weaken.
What should I do next? Where should I place my hands now? Should I put them behind my back or keep them hanging down? Elysia seemed to have grabbed the other person up at that time. Nervous thoughts were racing in the girl's mind, but she still maintained a cold expression at the scene.
"I, I..." the other party's voice is weak, and it will start to get stuck.
"Get out of the way, stand aside." She gave the order directly without giving any reason. The other party stood up unconsciously and began to give in.
At this moment, Sylutia walked over and came to Vierluna. Several of her best friends immediately stood up and blocked the girl in the red dress.
"I know you care about Vierluna, but her chastity is more important now. If some truths are not clarified quickly at this time, it will not be a good thing for both parties." She began to explain the reason.
Well, Elysia wouldn't explain this in the past. After all, she was born with "Dragon Eye", and few people dared to talk back and resist in front of her.
After seeing several people but still not moving, Sylutia couldn't hold on anymore. Could it be that he would use violence, but the situation was obviously inappropriate.
Fortunately, Vierluna finally stopped sobbing and stood up.
"Let Miss Hedra come over." She wiped away her tears carefully with her fingers.
After hearing Vierluna's voice, several girlfriends came back, some comforted her, and some brought her water. Then Sylutia went over, sat next to her, and began to ask about the incident in detail.
Compared with the previous servant's account, the process contained more details, such as the time she was in coma, the stages of waking up, and the most critical issue of chastity.
"The skirt was torn, but the underwear underneath was fine, probably because the time interval was relatively short." Vierluna said slowly.
"That means the other party didn't have time to do anything." Sylutia continued to think.
"Can you take me to the site to see it?"
After that, a group of people came to the scene of the incident again, and then Sylutia carefully looked at the size of the locker room, the windows, and the surrounding situation.
Because Racecourse is mostly used in the city, there are many separate changing rooms, but in order to save space, the walls here are very thin. If someone shouts, it is impossible to hide, and the time period is noon when there are more people.
Secondly, the wardrobe was only used to hang clothes, and the Tibetan was very reluctant. Vierluna had to curl up her legs to sit in it. She probably could push the door open with a little movement, and the cabinet didn't have a lock.
"This is neither a place for crime nor a place for Tibetans. What's even more strange is that not long after Ecol entered, someone came looking for him. Did he know in advance and why the time was so accurate? Or, the person who reported the report had already known that Vierluna was hidden in that room." The girl turned around and scanned the whole place.
Everyone in the congregation also realized what was wrong and began to recall and search.
"Someone seemed to be shouting at that time, so I came over."
"Me too."
"Where's the servant? Weren't you guarding outside at that time?"
"I was guarding outside at the time, but suddenly someone rushed to the corridor here and said that Miss Vierluna was missing and asked us to open all the locker rooms and search for her."
"Who rushed into the corridor here and shouted?"
"That is..." Some people began to think hard because the situation was quite confusing at that time.
"I remembered, it seemed like a squire in blue clothes and a training hat."
"The one in blue..." The scene began to investigate and inquire one by one, and finally someone pieced together the identity of that person.
"He should be Hosea's servant. He also participated in horse riding training with him in the morning."
"Where are the others?"
"Hosea, where is your servant?" At this moment, people found Hosea in the corner. He is the second son of the Pollock family. Although the Pollock family is very powerful, the eldest son Icas is valued. He is now 26 years old, married and has children, while Hosea is only 17 years old and has mediocre qualifications.
"He's gone back." Hosea replied with a straight face. Unfortunately, his mental quality was not very good, and someone had already noticed his panic.
"Oh? As a servant, why did he go back before you?" someone began to ask.
"Because I plan to go back to eat something good at noon, so I asked him to notify my family in advance to prepare." Hosea continued to answer forcefully.
"Well, how about we go to your house and see what delicious food you have prepared for lunch today?" Sylutia came over and suggested.
"This... there are too many of you, so my family may not be prepared enough." Hosea waved his hand, stepped back, and prepared to escape.
"Catch him!" Seeing him take steps, several young people swarmed up and quickly threw the escaping Hosea to the ground, then grabbed him by the shoulders.
At this moment, many people guessed what was going on and walked over with a smile.
"Today Hosea, you have to explain it well, haha." A group of people escorted him to Pollock's house, rushed into the door, found the hiding servant in blue, and questioned him.
Sure enough, Pollock didn't prepare any big meal at home. Just like usual, after the servant came back, he went back to the room to rest until he was caught.
After some torture, the servant confessed. It turned out that he was Transcendent of "Second Order·Mist Shadow". After knocking Vierluna unconscious, he immediately used a dose of precious invisibility. Potion, brought Vierluna to the locker room and hid it. When he heard the maids looking for Vierluna, he rushed to the men's locker room and asked everyone to open the room and search one by one.
"What is the motive for this matter?" Sylutia was quite curious. After all, Ecol was just inadvertently chosen as the scapegoat.
"This..." The servant glanced at Hosea, closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Seeing that things had developed to this point and were stuck again, a young and beautiful figure trotted over.
Rosalie looked at everyone present curiously, then ran over to comfort Vierluna, and then returned to Sylutia.
"I know, I know the reason." As soon as she spoke, Hosea's face changed.
"Some time ago, the head of the Pollock family found Uncle Brennan, hoping to let him act as a matchmaker to marry Vierluna for Hosea."
"But my uncle declined, saying that he would discuss it with the elders of the Vierluna family."
"I guess the discussion failed later. Vierluna's elders looked down on Hosea, and then he came up with this idea."
"As long as Vierluna's reputation is ruined and the Pollock family is still willing to take over, then the marriage will most likely happen, right?" Rosalie pointed out the reason with a smile.
Is this the reason? Sylutia pressed her fingers lightly between her eyebrows. She thought that the plots of novels and movies in her previous life were too bloody, and she didn't expect to encounter them in life. However, such a plan is feasible for ordinary people.
This is a world with extraordinary power. If Hosea really studies hard, he will understand that some special secret methods can go back in time and see scenes from the past. There are also various means to go deep into dreams, explore memories, and verify the authenticity of lies.
She doesn't need to deal with the rest of the matter. The chief of the city's security team has already arrived at the scene, and even the city lord will ask about this matter.
