Reciting theories, sketching runes, and understanding principles, Sylutia is busy studying. Knox has a lot of secret knowledge, most of which she cannot master and practice at this stage. In order not to waste these precious two months, Sylutia has to do her best to memorize the knowledge that she has no time to digest.

Fortunately, "Secret Speech" Aspect Power has many means to assist memory and recording, and she has used all of them during this period.

[Meditation Night Tea][Memory Method][Thread-Weaving Memorization Method] etc.

Among them [Thread-Weaving Memorization Method] is a special technique. It uses a hieroglyph to outline many patterns and symbols, and these pattern symbols are connected together and drawn with a line from beginning to end. This method can make people quickly associate according to the patterns and symbols, and can express a large number of meanings with just one or two pattern symbols. And as long as the pattern is remembered, it can be remembered based on the muscle memory of the strokes and the picture, so that the abstract theoretical concept is transformed into multi-dimensional sensory information, making the memory more profound.

When learning this technique in the early stages, you need to prepare a lot of work, such as learning the meanings of pattern symbols, how to draw them coherently, and using handwriting lines to connect a lot of information above and below. It is a technique that is slow and difficult to start with, but once you become familiar with it, it can play a lot of convenient roles.

With the help of these means and techniques, Sylutia's learning speed continues to increase, and he can barely keep up with the plan. It is expected that at the end of two months, he will have roughly completed "Avian Runes" taught by Knox.

One month later, in the evening, it was time to leave after school again, but the girl was still sitting in Lighthouse's study, writing quickly what she had learned today. The black ink connected into a line on the light yellow page, quickly sketching patterns and symbols, and then assisting in memorizing the content.

Knox pushed the wheelchair, slowly came down from upstairs, and looked at the black-haired girl in front of the desk.

"Hedra, it's getting late." He reminded the girl.

"Okay, I'll finish writing this paragraph soon." Sylutia wrote the last paragraph based on the information in his memory, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood up.

She looked at the already purple sunset outside the window, and then quickly put away her books.

"You have a day off tomorrow. You can take a walk and have a good sleep." Knox is a rare person who takes the initiative to take a vacation.

Although it was a bit unexpected, Sylutia still readily accepted the proposal. After a month of intensive study, she was indeed a little tired.

"I understand, teacher."

The next day, Sylutia rarely went to Lighthouse. Instead, he stayed at home and slept until noon.

After lunch, she took a walk in the yard. At this time of year, the pear trees in the yard were already blooming and bearing fruit, and were gradually maturing.

Looking at the green pears on the tree branch, Sylutia stood on tiptoe and managed to reach it, but still just a little short.

Then she took a few steps back, opened her palms, and light blue light emerged, outlining a lifelike bird. The bird flew across the branches of the tree, and the tip of Feather Wing cut the stem above the pear and let it fall. After that, the bird shuttled back and forth again, and one after another, freshly ripe green pears fell from the treetops.

This is the signature spell of "Flying Bird Technique" Bionics School. Although it is not strong, it is very flexible. It is also the basis and prototype of many high-level spells in the future.

Compared with direct attack spells such as "Blade Feather Edge" and "Sharp Claw Strike", the attack power of "Flying Bird Technique" is not high, but its difficulty is several times that of the former, and it is extremely flexible to use. It can pick fruits, drop items, and pull ropes, just like the real Flying Bird.

At present, Sylutia has just mastered it. If you want to really use this spell, you need at least the second level of Aspect Power power to fully utilize it.

When the ripe fruits fell to the ground, she walked over and picked them up one by one, preparing to take them back and share them with other people in the mansion. After all, she couldn't eat much by herself.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the front yard. When he saw Sylutia picking up fruits, he quickly spoke.

"Let me do it, Hedra." Ecol quickened his pace, came over to help, picked up the remaining pears, and then carried them to the kitchen with Sylutia, where they were washed by the maid.

While waiting, the two started talking.

"I didn't expect Hedra to have a day off today." Ecol also knew that this girl was very busy recently and spent a long time studying in Lighthouse and her home room.

"The teacher gave me a day off specifically." Sylutia explained simply.

"Is it so rare?" He rubbed his chin and thought for a while.

"How about I take you out for a walk? There just happens to be a simple beach party tonight, the kind where you have dinner together and then take a walk."

Thinking that he really wanted to go out to meet people, leave some impressions, and strengthen his identity, Sylutia nodded and agreed.

In the evening, Ecol called a carriage and set off with Sylutia. On the way, the two of them talked about the accident that had happened a month ago.

"What happened next?" Sylutia has been busy during this period and didn't ask.

"Later, the city lord came forward and decided the punishment result." Ecol recalled.

"The servant was deprived of his Aspect Power rank, whipped, and then exiled to work in a remote mining area. It is said that it will take ten years before he can regain his freedom."

"Hosea, as the main culprit, was protected by the Pollock family, but he also paid a heavy price. It is said that he compensated the Sandra family for several shops and a small sea-going ship."

"What about you?" Sylutia thought, if there was no clear investigation on the spot that day, I'm afraid Ecol's future would be ruined, and Griffin Family's reputation would also be greatly affected Impact.

"Pollock's family compensated me with 200 gold coins." Ecol shook his head slightly.

"Although it's not much, it's a great honor. After all, our family's status in Quebes is not high."

Is the gap so big? Sylutia thought to himself.

However, careful calculation shows that Alanfude was poor when he was young. After more than ten years of struggle, he has achieved his current status and accumulated wealth very quickly. The Pollock family is a family that migrated here when the Quebes port was built hundreds of years ago. It has a long history.

"After that, Hosea was sent to study far away by Pollock's family. I heard from them that they would not come back for at least ten years." Ecol asked for a follow-up.

"Where's Vierluna." As the second young lady of Sandra's family, this is one of the most beautiful girls in Quebes's upper class circle.

"In order to avoid suspicion, she tried not to have contact with me in the future, but the Sandra family still sent someone to convey their goodwill and gratitude, saying that if Hedra hadn't decisively clarified the incident that day, I'm afraid this incident would have had a huge impact on Vierluna."

"The Sandra family transferred to us a store that was compensated by the Pollock family. However, our family has not yet found the right manpower to run the store, so the Sandra family is currently helping to take care of it. Their family is very powerful and has sufficient personnel."

"It just so happens that I'm on the way. After we meet for dinner, I'll take you to see that store. It's at Parsley Street. It's a store selling small trinkets."

Then the two carriages crossed the street and arrived at the place where they would have dinner tonight.

Because it is not a very formal banquet, the two of them are dressed casually tonight. Ecol is wearing a white shirt and a brown jacket on the upper body, and trousers on the lower body that are easy to move around. This is what he wears when practicing swordplay in the afternoon, and it has not changed this time.

Behind him, Sylutia's upper body is also a white women's shirt with a more casual style. The collar has a slender black ribbon bow, and the lower body is also a black knee-length pleated skirt with a simple style.

The two walked into this brightly lit restaurant. As soon as they entered, they saw many young men and women sitting at the dining table chatting. When Ecol came over, some people waved hello from a distance.

"This, Ecol~" Several young people greeted with a smile. They are all training partners with Ecol.

When Sylutia walked into the restaurant from behind Ecol, they had unexpected looks on their faces.

"That's, Hedra, right?"

"Yes, her black hair is a rare symbol in the whole Quebes."

"I didn't expect to see her today."

"Ecol was framed last time. If this sister hadn't decisively intervened, I'm afraid the outcome of the matter would have been unpredictable."

"However, you really can't show your face. Hedra looked so quiet and quiet, but that day he slapped Dudu and shut him up."

"Yes, that slap impressed me deeply. Not to mention Dudu was stunned at the time, I was also shocked."

Hearing people talking about him, Sylutia was a little unable to move forward. Looking back now, he did go a bit out of line that day. Fortunately, the matter was resolved perfectly and no one held him accountable.

Walking over, Ecol pulled out the chair, let Sylutia sit down, and then started a quick chat with his friend.

"This is Hedra, you should all have seen her before." Then he introduced this sister to everyone.

The girl nodded politely in return, and then glanced briefly at the place. Most of the young men and women gathered here, like Ecol, were from less prominent family backgrounds.

It seems that even the upper echelons of Quebes are subdivided into several different small circles. Ecol is obviously more relaxed and comfortable with these people.

After a group of people arrived, the waiters in the restaurant began to serve them food. Sylutia was also fortunate to taste several famous local dishes of Quebes tonight, such as "Braised Sea Prawn" "Anrus Clam Meat" "Green Chrysanthemum Smoked Sausage" "Maple Roasted Apple".

After eating, a group of people left the restaurant chatting and laughing, preparing to go for a walk on the beach. Hedra was surrounded by several girls who were curious about her.

"Hedra, don't you usually leave home?"

"What type of boys do you like, Hedra."

"How is your relationship with Miss Rosalie?"

These topics fully demonstrate the gossip that these girls want to know, as well as the topics that Quebes young people are concerned about today.

Sylutia took the trouble to answer one by one. If there was something he didn't want to say, just skip it. Just like that, the group of people arrived at the beach by the sea and gradually stopped, enjoying the cool sea breeze of the summer night.

At this moment, Sylutia also became quiet. She leaned against the guardrail and looked at the night sky in the distance. Meteor Lake's water surface showed light waves under the moonlight.

Before I knew it, I was already familiar with the local climate, local customs, noisy young people, and a somewhat vulgar but youthful social life.

Compared to the remote Scorched Stone City, the climate here is pleasant, you can also come into contact with new things spread from various places, buy a variety of fresh fruits and foods, and see pedestrians wearing clothes of various styles and colors. If you live for a long time, it is a good choice.

Well, we can still stay for a month, and then we will go to a more distant place, the girl thought silently in her heart.
