"Huh? Hey..." Philsa was speechless, choked by the retort.
Seris is a bit serious and rarely jokes with others.
Philsa was genuinely startled by his sudden teasing.
"If you two are going, you should at least go somewhere romantic, like a scenic spot in a nearby town. Why do you want to visit the Silver Palace ruins for no reason?"
"Well... there are some things I'd like to learn about at the ruins."
Seeing that he seemed to be deliberately hiding something, Seris stopped pressing him for details, but patiently continued to give him instructions:
"Then you two need to be careful. You might—and I'm only saying you might—run into the same person who injured you last time."
I fought with all my might when I confronted him. But I still couldn't defeat him, or even hurt him.
Although I am not very clear about his origins, one thing is certain: he had a deep connection with the now-extinct Kingdom of Valentino.
He was likely a descendant of a patriotic general from the Kingdom era, inheriting his ancestors' strong desire to restore the kingdom and their hatred and exclusion of the duchy.
Even though the enemy would catch up and it might lead to another fierce battle, Philsa had a reason to go.
"Descendants... I think a more accurate description would be that he is the reincarnation of that so-called patriotic general. Seris, do you believe in reincarnation?"
“It’s not that I don’t believe in it, it’s just that I’ve never seen or heard of anyone or anything related to reincarnation.” Celis remained as rational as ever.
"Actually, I also found it unbelievable at first, until it happened to me... Look at this."
As she spoke, Firsa removed the white silk glove from her left hand, revealing the emblem that had recently appeared and lit up.
Under the sunlight streaming in through the window, the emblem "Phosphorus of Ice," formed by two single feathers interlocking at the base, still radiates a magical, deep blue glow.
"Huh... 'Radiance of the Far North'? Isn't that the emblem of Elfons, the 'Pioneer of Valentino'?"
Seris stood up in surprise, involuntarily exclaiming. It turned out that Felsa had also obtained the emblem, or more precisely, inherited the ancient hero's "Radiance of the Far North".
However, Felsa's phosphorescent ice seems to differ slightly from Alphonse's far-north glow.
The "Radiance of the Far North" recorded in historical books is formed by three sacred dragon feathers interlocking at the base, with a seven-sided stone mark in the central triangular area.
According to descriptions, the ancient emblem was generally a bright blue color, so bright that even the blazing sun could not overshadow its aurora-like brilliance.
His emblem is simply two single feathers joined together. Although the color is bright, it would be more appropriate to describe it as "phosphorescence" (a brighter green light that only appears in the dark) rather than "glowing".
"Is this... a prototype?" After careful consideration, Seris immediately understood.
Seris has always been adept at analyzing situations and possesses a detective-like mind. Not only is he highly skilled in combat, but his strength as a knight even surpasses that of Felsa. Those who know him well, including the knights within the knightly order, are well aware that he is no ordinary person who is all brawn and no brains.
"Probably, I'm not sure. Thanks to this emblem—it makes me no longer afraid of fire magic in battles against enemies. It even allows the element of ice to unleash its strongest power instantly, standing at the pinnacle of all elements."
Philsa then explained why he was going to the ruins of the Silver Palace. Besides verifying the reality of his dream, he also wanted to learn more about Elphons, the hero etched into history.
“Celice, you’re the second person to know I’m a reincarnated person. Things aren’t that simple. So, I’m going to investigate.”
Seris expressed his support for Firza, who had made up his mind.
“Go ahead, we might meet again on your journey. Oh, I just remembered, I might need to go back to the Magic and Martial Arts Academy to report the Knights’ situation to the principal, and also to visit Teacher Saint Zelfis.”
“Oh…” When he heard Seris say that, a good idea suddenly popped into Philsa’s mind.
-
“My dearest sister Haruka:
I have found a friend to help you leave Gransis.
Seris Dilanhart, he was also a Silver Knight and was once my classmate at the Far North Magic Academy.
He recently planned to travel around the mainland for a while, with his final destination being the Magic and Martial Arts Academy in the far north.
I think he's definitely a better candidate than me to take you on an adventure; he knows how to protect others better than I do.
I'm so sorry, it's not that I'm unwilling to take the adventure with you, I just really have important matters to attend to.
Moreover, I am the only one allowed to investigate and resolve this matter.
There's something very serious I need to tell you: please don't come looking for me anytime soon, it will put you in danger. I hope you understand your brother's predicament. Philsa Danlitaire…”
This morning, after leaving the Holy City with Sherry, he left this letter for his sister Haruka.
"Brother, I hate you! I curse you! I curse you! I curse you!"
It was truly a helpless situation. If it weren't for that guy's infatuated pursuit, Haruja wouldn't have considered leaving Gransis, where she had lived for so long.
I had hoped to take advantage of this rare opportunity to travel and go on an adventure with my brother, but unexpectedly...
There's no way around it, that persistent jerk is just too annoying.
