First and foremost, we must mention his former classmate and close friend, Celis Delanhart, who, besides Shirley, was the person who knew Philsa best.
While the two were studying at the same school and learning magic and martial arts, Celis discovered Philsa's secret.
The second is Fang Ente, the commander of the Silverwing Regiment.
From the moment Philsa joined the order and first met Fang Ent, he recognized her talent at a glance. Despite this, Fang Ent still valued talent, especially since this young man had been recommended to join the Knights.
Therefore, they didn't pay too much attention to his demonic identity.
Incidentally, the person who introduced Felsa to the group was none other than his mentor from his time at the academy—Saint Zelfis.
Like Keller, his mentor was one of the "Ten Holy Generals of the Palace" in the Knights Guild.
Since leaving the academy, Philsa has not contacted her teachers.
He thought that the teacher probably already knew his secret, but had just been pretending to be completely unaware.
Perhaps, the teacher discovered it even earlier than Bilis.
Philsa thought it wasn't a good time to meet General Kareem again, so he decided not to return to Silverwing headquarters for the time being.
Casting aside all her worries, Philsa turned her head, shifting her gaze from the dull newspaper to the wall clock.
It's past 11:10... It's already this late, I'd better hurry up and get dressed so I can go downstairs for the dinner party.
With that thought in mind, Philsa picked up the black lacquered coat that had just fallen to the ground, dusted it off, and carefully put it on.
His personal armor wasn't cumbersome—it was a sword called "Franzan's Ice Flame Sword," which wasn't usually imbued with magic.
Therefore, the flames inside the sword are not yet visible; it is entirely in the form of an ice sword.
Its blade is perfectly wrapped in specially made leather, which prevents the cold air from spreading outward and locks it tightly in the leather sheath.
Another item is a standard accessory for Silver Knights—a protective short sword, mainly used for daily tasks.
This type of simple protective gear was standard equipment for knights within the duchy. While theoretically unusable in combat, it was very convenient for everyday use, serving as a tool like a dagger.
A moment later, Philsa stepped out of the room and walked down the stairs to the guild's lowest level—the dining hall.
As he entered the lobby from the corridor, a waitress came to greet Philsa and told him something.
“Mr. Philsa, you just received a phone call from Mr. Celis Dilanhart of the Silver Wing Knights. He said he has something important to discuss with you.”
"Huh?"
He hadn't seen this friend for two months. Upon hearing that it was "important business," he thanked the waiter, turned and left the lobby, running towards the guild's telephone equipment room.
On the continent of Valentino, since the country's magical technology is still in its infancy, the use of magic crystals as an energy source has not yet been fully explored.
Therefore, these emerging remote communication devices are not very popular.
Even a large establishment like the Knights Guild only has one, and it's kept in a dedicated equipment room.
Public places like bars and hospitals are unlikely to introduce such expensive but low-profit equipment.
Scientists have discovered that refined magic crystal liquid can be used as an energy source. This groundbreaking discovery breaks the past dominance of coal mining as an energy source and opens up an ideal new path for pollution-free and highly efficient energy.
Consequently, "Magic Crystal Industry" also rose to prominence.
Several hundred years ago, tracing back to the period from the late 13th century to its peak in the 16th century, the Renaissance became a fork in the world's trajectory.
The revival of magic began in this period of heightened humanistic and spiritual awareness, which changed the course of the world and led it into a new realm.
From a certain point in time, science and magic, two contradictory things, have coexisted, and remain so to this day.
In commemoration of the resurgence of magic, humanities scholars coined a word in Valentino's dictionary—
"Guangsu" is a new word composed of the two morphemes "Guangfu" and "Fuxing".
Even now, this compound word doesn't seem old.
This is the world that Philsa and his companions live in and struggle in.
The Duchy of Valentino is Firsa’s proud homeland.
In the "remote communication room" where the remote communication equipment was specially set up, after explaining her purpose to the administrator, Philsa picked up the microphone.
The call was being transferred to a live agent. A short while later, Celis's clear voice came through the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's been almost two months since we last met. How was your training for the family's coming-of-age ceremony?"
"Of course," came his proud and affirmative reply from the other end of the phone.
"I'll skip the pleasantries. I heard you have something important to discuss with me?"
"Ha, if I didn't say it, you definitely wouldn't have attracted any attention. What I want to tell you is that the weapon that Teacher Saint Zelfis gave you—the gauntlet shield—was delivered to the Holy Capital yesterday by Silverwing's messenger."
"Really? That's great!"
"You don't have any defensive weapons yet, so I suggest you come and get them as soon as possible. I heard you're in Shidu now, are you free today?"
"There will be no problem these next few days."
So Philsa and Seris agreed to meet at the Alchemists' Guild in the Holy City at dusk.
Philsa had been wanting to take some free time to travel with Sherry to the famous holy city of Gransis and visit her sister Haruja, who lived there.
In addition, Shidu is not far from the Holy City, separated only by a sea of trees. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be able to reach the Holy City before dark.
