The Kingdom of Stars, Jianhua University.

"Ah? Doesn't she particularly like to eat those dishes? I see her always taking those dishes every time she goes to the cafeteria."

"Sonia always eats those dishes because they are the most cost-effective dishes. The taste, nutrition, price, and energy are all impeccable. Even our swordsmanship department often chooses these dishes. But you have a lot of living expenses and usually eat less, so you may not pay attention to the price. However, Sonia should not be short of money recently, but she still eats these dishes, which means that she should not have much pursuit of food and taste."

"So that's how it is... Next question, Sonia has been going to other places recently, except for the dormitory, training building, library, and meditation building, right? Since she became a magician, it seems that she has not been to the gatherings and activities she used to go to."

When Lois returned to the dormitory, she saw Adele and Ingrid discussing other people's privacy very seriously, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"

"Study Sonia," said Adele.

"I know you're researching Sonia, but what's there to research about?" Lois put her backpack on the desk with a strange look on her face. "If you want to know something, why don't you just ask her when she comes back?"

"That won't do. I can't let the head of the Claw Club know that I'm studying her." Adele said, "I'm doing something bad."

"How could you do something bad? You are not that kind of person."

"Loy!" Adele was very touched: "I didn't expect you to believe in my character so much!"

"I don't trust your character, I trust your intelligence. You even gave up cheating on the final exam because it was too troublesome, I really can't imagine what bad things you can do." Lois sat down and said, "I think the limit of your evil is to buy puffs and suck up all the cream in them with a straw in advance?"

"Loy, you don't know me well enough." Adele snorted, "If I buy some puffs, how could I stop after sucking up all the cream? I'll leave at most one for each of you!"

Lois: "Okay, okay, Ingrid, go ahead and say it."

"Adele's family wants her to collect information about Sonia, such as her personal connections, eating habits, and places she often goes to." Ingrid said calmly: "In short, she wants to find a way to analyze Sonia's secrets."

Lois stopped as she was opening her backpack.

"……ah?"

"I can't do anything about it," Adele complained. "Every time I go home, my mother pulls me into the room and tells me how bad the family situation is, and how my father's career and title still have a chance to go further. These are all things that sound troublesome. I finally escaped to play with Frey, and Frey was fine at first, but when we were hugging each other and looking at the stars, he actually talked to me about Sonia - mentioning other women on a date will deduct points!"

"The root of the problem is not your parents and fiancé." Lois said, "I remember that your father is the Lord of Shield, and your fiancé's family is the Lord of Spear. Your family hasn't produced a Saint Domain magician for a long time, so how could they dare to covet the secrets of Saint Domain magicians... Your family is just a medium, and the person behind the scenes must be a close palace noble."

The Star Nobles are also known as the Imperial Guard Nobles because there are two completely different systems of nobility: the Imperial Guard Nobles and the Imperial Guard Nobles.

The Imperial Court nobles were divided into four classes: duke, marquis, earl, and viscount, while the Imperial Court nobles were divided into five classes: armor, bow, spear, shield, and sword. Not only were the titles different, but the scope of their positions was also very different: members of the Palace Council, the Legislative Council, and the House of Lords were only selected from the Imperial Court nobles, while the vast majority of the administrative officials, law enforcement officers, and city governors in the Administrative Office were held by the Imperial Court nobles.

It can be roughly understood that the Emiya nobles form the national civil service system and execute the orders of the Queen; the Kinomi nobles form the parliamentary cabinet and become the Queen's staff. Although it is not explicitly stated, Kinomi nobles cannot serve as political officials, and vice versa.

If the nobles really want to engage in administration, they must give up their right to inherit the title and pass various examinations like commoners to become the lowest-ranking sword noble and embark on the path of becoming a civil servant.

Although the Imperial Nobles are hereditary, they are not immune to demotion. The House of Nobles has its own set of complex calculation rules. In simple terms, if the Imperial Nobles are too useless, they will be directly transferred to the Emiya Nobles.

Generally speaking, the status of the Kinomiya nobles is higher than that of the Emiya nobles, but for those who have political ideals and desire to hold power, the Emiya nobles are the only answer.

The Shield Lord and Spear Lord that Lois mentioned were two ranks among the Emiya nobles. There was one big difference between the Emiya and the Kinu nobles. Kinu nobles were often very difficult to be promoted, and often had the same rank for several generations, but the Emiya nobles were different. No matter what rank the previous generation had, the next generation would start as the Sword Lord.

Therefore, the title of Emiya does not represent your family background, but only your personal rank. In the political and judicial system, promotion is often equivalent to promotion. Even if your parents are ordinary people, as long as you become a city governor, you must be a Knight of Armor; even if your parents are Knight of Armor, but you are an ordinary operator, you can only be a Knight of Sword. The main significance of the title is related to how much convenience you can enjoy, how many permissions you can unlock, and your retirement benefits.

It can be seen that the names of the five Lords of Emiya come from cold weapon warfare. Shields are better than swords, spears are stronger than shields, bows have advantages, and armor is the most important. Adele's family is the Lord of Shield, and her fiancé's family is the Lord of Spear, which is also a good match.

Emiya nobles are not afraid of "downgrading", but Kinu nobles are different. The House of Nobles has a very strict indicator for the latter: the number of magicians trained. Every time a magician is trained, a certain number of points can be obtained. The points for silver, gold, sanctuary, and legendary are different. In simple terms, a duke must train a sanctuary every thirty years to extend his title (the sanctuary is passed down from generation to generation), and the viscount can relax to 120 years (a sanctuary is passed down every four generations).

Although you can offset the quota by winning over the sanctuary magicians, firstly, the sanctuary magicians can become nobles themselves and may not pay attention to you; secondly, if you want to grab the sanctuary, the dukes and marquises are also grabbing it, so you may not be able to grab it. Therefore, those earls and viscounts who know that they will be demoted sooner or later will take the initiative to become Emiya nobles to avoid wasting their lives in the parliament.

This is why Lois is so sure that Adele's family is just a middleman. After all, the Emiya nobles have a low desire for the Sanctuary, and they have the attitude of "I can live well without it". Only the Kinomiya nobles will desire to obtain the secret of achieving the Sanctuary, because it really concerns the fall of class.

"Alas, I am burdened with pressure that is not suitable for my age." Adele sighed, "Maturity tastes so bitter."

"Stop pretending." Lois went over and slapped her on the head, then took her notebook and looked at it. "If you post these notes to the Claw Club, people will dislike them. These are just some trivial things about Sonia! And cross this out. Her underwear brand has absolutely nothing to do with the Sanctuary."

"Why? You can't jump to conclusions!"

"She and I have the same brand. She copied me."

"But your scale—"

Bang!

Adele covered her head, took back the notebook, and shouted, "Then guess what Sonia's secret is!"

"Why should I guess with you..." Lois sighed, moved her chair over, and analyzed seriously: "The most abnormal thing about Sonia now is that she achieved the Saint Realm too quickly."

"From the time she summoned her first magic spirit in April to the meteor disaster five days ago, it only took her more than seventy days in total. If we count from the day she showed her two-wing combat power in the friendly match, it only took her more than twenty days to go from one wing to two wings. In other words, it only took her fifty days to cross the time continent and climb to the distant sky."

"But the Time Continent is different from the Sea of ​​Knowledge. The Sea of ​​Knowledge has a shortcut called the whirlpool. If the magician's talent is amazing enough, he can complete the transformation of the Silver Wings and the faction realm in a short period of time. However, the Time Continent does not have a mechanism like the whirlpool."

"The fastest breakthrough record from two wings to three wings recorded in the Stars is the 'Hundred Days Sanctuary' of the legendary magician Magus five hundred years ago. However, this is based on the premise that Magus is proficient in the miracle of movement and his soul energy is twice that of an ordinary magician. In other words, his exploration time is twice that of an ordinary magician."

"Sonia not only broke his record, but also reduced the time to half." Lois sighed: "It is natural for everyone to suspect that she has mastered the powerful exploration miracle."

In the world of magicians, talent cannot explain everything.

After all, no matter how talented you are, you can only break through the faction realm and delete the bottleneck from your dictionary, but the magic power is a hard indicator directly linked to the exploration time, just like pregnancy - a genius needs a year, you only need half a year, and everyone will regard you as a gifted person; you only need a hundred days, and everyone will barely accept you as different from ordinary people; you only need fifty days, and your appearance is almost the same as that of a normal person, who will believe that there is no miracle here!

"But most of the purposes of exploring miracles are to repair soul damage and offset the cost of death." Ingulite thought for a moment: "But speaking of it, Sonia did recover quickly after several deaths in the virtual realm."

Lois nodded. "I had a vague feeling about it at that time, but I didn't expect she had such a big trump card... To condense the golden wings within fifty days, she must have either mastered a miracle that allows her to move safely and quickly in the virtual world, or she must have a way to increase her magic power absorption speed. Either way, it is what the nobles of the imperial court dream of."

Some people may wonder, even if it takes only four or five years to condense the golden wings, what is the point of saving this time? If this time is saved, can the faction realm break through to the holy realm?

But don't forget that people's learning ability has a golden period. The age of 20 to 30 is the best breakthrough period for magicians. The earlier you condense the golden wings, the more magic power you have to train your magic spirit, and the greater the chance of breaking through the faction realm. Moreover, the punishment for a magician's death in the virtual realm is neither heavy nor light. Although it will not affect the action, it will make it difficult for the magician to concentrate on honing his skills.

Even if a magician only died three or four times a year (which was considered a low number), half of his life would be wasted, and the golden decade would soon be over. The reason why the probability of giving birth to a sanctuary magician among the nobles who mastered the exploration of miracles was much higher than that of ordinary families was because they greatly reduced the death penalty for magicians.

Now that a miracle that is suspected to accelerate the concentration of magic power has appeared, how could the nobles of the imperial court not covet it? How could they not use some tricks to obtain this secret?

but……

"No matter how much those people want to, the most they can do is put pressure on Adele's family and force her to find out Sonia's secret." Ingrid smiled and said, "Sonia already has the ability to protect her own secrets."

If Sonia is still a two-wing magician, even if the Star Nobles cannot break the law, they can still control a two-wing magician within the scope of the rules. Apart from anything else, Adele's parents are two-wing magicians, but they are also political officials, so they are under pressure that they cannot refuse.

But the problem is that Sonia is already a sanctuary magician.

Even though she hasn't built the sanctuary yet, it's only a matter of time.

A sanctuary magician is equivalent to a noble, and this level is enough to make most methods ineffective. Unless the queen personally forces her, even the five dukes cannot make Sonia bow her head.

"Yes," Lois lowered her head slightly, "She is no longer the same as we are."

"Hey, aren't you here to help me? Come on, help me think of what else I can write so I can take it back and hand in the homework." Adele urged, biting the pen.

"Adele, why do you seem to care so little?"

"What do you mean I don't care? If I didn't care, I would have been lying in bed watching Deda Rose's new play."

"I mean, you don't seem to care that you're caught between your family and Sonia." Lois said, "On the one hand, you don't intend to hide Sonia's information, but on the other hand, you just want to perfunctorily appease your family... I thought that in this situation, you either secretly collected Sonia's privacy, or felt wronged for being coerced by your family."

"Because it's useless to care. It will only distract me from watching the drama." Adele said: "I can't do things like collecting privacy. My tracking skills are so poor that Sonia will definitely find out at a glance."

"As for being coerced by my family... well, I do feel a little wronged. I finally got home, but my parents and Frey actually asked me to betray my friend. But Sonia is my friend, not theirs, so it's only natural for them to do this. Besides, they still love my father and mother, as well as my fiancé who grew up with me. I'll calm down after a while."

"Besides, they know who I am. If there were any other possibilities, they wouldn't have come to me for help. They must have been under pressure that I didn't know about, so they troubled their most lovely daughter and fiancée. How could I blame them?"

"So I have to write carefully so that I can turn in my homework and they can turn in their homework too."

Lois couldn't help but look at Ingrid, who shrugged and continued to guide Adele's homework.

No wonder the fake noble Ingulit would help...

"But you are such a bad boy. If Sonia knew about this, I don't know how she would punish you. Last time you used her wooden sword to chop around, you screamed so loudly that people in the next building could hear you."

Adele clasped her hands together and begged, "Luo Yi, please don't tell anyone! Ying Gu has promised me not to tell anyone!"

Lois didn't bother them and went back to tidy up her house. She hadn't been home for several days, and the desk was covered with dust.

After the college league, Jianhua University will have five days off, and then it will be a two-month "magician self-training period", also known as summer vacation. Students can train at home or go back to school for training - any student with some ambition will go back to school, after all, the training environment at school is not comparable to that at home.

So Adele must have come back half-escaping and half-forced. Anyway, she would watch TV series wherever she went, and the bed at home must be more comfortable than the bed in the dormitory.

Originally, Lois should have stayed at home, as she had already prepared many parties for her summer vacation. But after being inspired by Sonia and Ingrid, she also wanted to pursue her dream of becoming a water mage.

Besides, she had a reason to come back.

The shining star sank to the west. Adele put down her pen and stretched herself: "I'm so tired!"

Ingrid: "I've always been the one saying, why are you so tired?"

"Writing is tiring!" Adele stood up and said, "Let's go eat! Luo Yi, do you want to go to the cafeteria or go out to eat tonight?"

"You guys go ahead." Lois lowered her head and looked at the book: "I ate a little too much when I got home, so I need to control my weight a little. I'll just have some fruit at night."

"I think you should eat more, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with Sonia - I mean in terms of scale - hey, you can't hit me, Yinggu, hurry up!"

Ingrid glanced at Lois and left with Adele.
