Northern Lights

, the monster roared and flew away in pain. It turned out that the eyes were its weakness.

The one who repelled the monster was a handsome young man with a leather quiver on his back and a black bow in his hand. He reached out and pulled Kimi up, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay." Kimi looked around after getting up, where did that idiot go, he won't be eaten by monsters, right?

"What are you looking for?" asked the archer.

"My manservant, he was thrown out." Kimi answered and searched anxiously. Although the idiot was a little stupid, he was loyal to him and rescued him twice in just a few weeks in Lapland. He was thrown out just now to save him, otherwise he would have escaped in the chaos.

"I didn't see that monster taking people away, maybe he's around here." There were wounded soldiers all over the floor, but he only cared about one servant, and the archer thought he was quite interesting.

They searched separately, and after a while, Kimi found the unconscious manservant in the col. He was thrown by the monster's tail and hit a stone and passed out.

"You idiot, if you don't know anything, just stay away and try to be brave." Although Kimi scolded like this, she was very anxious in her heart.

The archer came over to check on Sebastian, "It's nothing serious, it should wake up before the sun goes down."

"You still know medicine?" Kimi noticed the person who rescued him.

"A little bit." The archer smiled shyly.

"Thank you for your help." Kimi shook his hand, "I'm Kimi."

"You are the future king of Lapland?" The archer saluted him after the accident, "My name is Rosberg, and it is my honor to serve you."

Rosberg escorted Kimi and Sebastian back to the palace safely and was ready to return.

But Kimi kept him, his skill is so vigorous and accurate archery is a rare talent, Kimi intends to recruit him into the Knights, it's time to start training his own people.

After being treated by the imperial doctor Bernie, Sebastian is fine and will wake up after a short rest. Kimi asks Rosberg to send him home first.

When the king heard the news, he rushed over immediately, and Kimi told him the truth about what happened in the forest, and also told him about his proposal to let Rosberg join the Knights.

"Which nobleman is he descended from?" asked the king.

"His father is a farmer in the north of the city." Kimi already understood this question on the way back to the city.

"Only persons of noble blood are entitled to knighthood." Hakkinen could not believe that he had forgotten this rule.

"But he is very skilled, courageous, and loyal to the royal family. He has all the advantages that a knight should have. More importantly, he saved my life." Kimi didn't want to lose this talent because of these outdated regulations.

"That doesn't make an exception to the rules for him." Hakkinen waved his hand.

"How can that make him my knight?" Kimi still refused to give up.

Hakkinen frowned and thought for a while, "Unless...he saved the whole city." Only then the other ministers would not complain, and he didn't want to offend all the nobles for one person, even if he saved his own son.

All the people in the city? Kimi was discouraged, how could there be such an opportunity for a while.

After being carried back, Sebastian fell asleep for another half an hour before waking up. When he opened his eyes, he saw a stranger at Bernie's medicine table, "Who are you?"

"Rosberg, I met you and Kimi in the forest in the northern suburbs this morning and were attacked by monsters."

Thinking about it, Sebastian felt a dull pain in his head, "So you saved us by driving away the monster?"

"I think so," Rosberg said politely.

"Thank you." Sebastian struggled to his feet.

Rosberg reached out and gave him a hand, "Small."

Sebastian liked this upright and pleasant-looking person, "My name is Sebastian."

"I know, you are the one who saved the life of His Highness the Crown Prince at the ceremony." Rosberg blinked at him. These things were told to him by His Highness the Crown Prince himself on the way back to Lapland, so it's no wonder that he The servant was so nervous.

"It's really nothing." Sebastian shy.

Later Rosberg went to attend the appreciation dinner prepared for him by the palace, and Bernie also came back from the outside.

"Describe to me the monster that attacked you." Bernie gave Sebastian a bottle of light blue potion.

Sebastian raised his head and drank the potion, "It has the body of a lion, its wings are as huge and powerful as an eagle, it can run faster than a horse, and... weapons cannot hurt him."

"It's impossible." Bernie shook his head after listening to his description.

"What's wrong?" From his tone, Sebastian thought it wasn't an ordinary monster.

"It's a griffin, and only powerful magic can summon it." Bernie worried, "and only specific magic can destroy it."

"No wonder my thoughts don't work on it." Sebastian felt a little more balanced at the moment, it didn't look like his magic had failed.

"This is not an accidental incident." Bernie frowned. This is not the first time that something about magic has happened. First, it was the assassination at the conferment ceremony, and then it was a magic monster.

"What do you mean?"

"The two recent magical incidents both targeted the same person."

"You mean...Kimi?"

Bernie nodded, "Hakini executed a group of magicians when he was young, and there must be descendants among those people."

"But why didn't they just assassinate the king?" Simple Sebastian couldn't understand.

"Losing a close relative is sometimes more painful than death, not to mention that Kimi has been established as the heir to the throne." Bernie is only speculating, after all, they don't even know who their opponent is now.

"What can I do?" Although Kimi was a little short-tempered, Sebastian didn't want anything to happen to him.

Bernie smiled and said nothing.

"I see." Sebastian patted his head, and found his magic book from the hidden compartment under the small bed. It really contained a description of the Gryphon, including the method to destroy it.

During this period of time, his servants were busy with work, and there was very little time for him to quietly hide in the room and learn spells. That is the most basic and simple part after all, but it is different to eliminate the Gryphon, which is summoned with powerful magic, and you must have the same powerful magic. Sebastian is not sure if he has such a ability.

In the early morning of the next day, Sebastian was woken up by the alarm bells one after another. When he came out of the room, he saw Bernie packing the medicine box in a hurry, "What happened?"

"There is a monster attacking the townspeople."

"Gryphon?"

"I think that's it."

Sebastian hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the palace with Bernie, and the wounded civilians and guards were brought over in an endless stream.

He came to Kimi's room and put on a coat for the crown prince standing by the window, frowning.

"Is your head better?" Kimi saw that he had two dark circles under his eyes, and his face was not as rosy as usual, but he didn't know that it was the result of him practicing spells for most of the night.

"Drinking Bernie's medicine, it's much better." Sebastian didn't expect him to care about himself, a little surprised.

"It's better like this, your brain is not enough, don't leave any sequelae, I don't want to be an idiot in the future." Kimi went to the dining table to have breakfast.

Sebastian was just a little touched when he was poured cold water on his head. What is the lack of brains? He is obviously very smart, but he is called around by his unscrupulous master all day long, so he has no time to learn many things.

"I don't have a good appetite today, so share some for me." Kimi put some cakes and fruits on the plate for him, Bernie must not have time to make breakfast for him in such a hurry, he can't want to be accused of mistreating the servants.

It was his favorite chestnut cake, and Sebastian was instantly happy again.

After a fierce artillery attack in the afternoon, the griffin was temporarily driven out of Lapland, and no one is sure when it will come back to harm people.

Sebastian went to the arsenal to get new armor for the Knights, and when he returned, he passed by the place where the wounded were treated and was stopped by Bernie.

"How was your practice last night?"

"It's not very ideal." Sebastian looked distressed. His previous experience of becoming a little white rabbit didn't help him. It was the first time he was involved with such a powerful spell, and he was a little powerless.

"The situation is tense, you have to work harder." Bernie was anxious, batch after batch of wounded, there was no time to treat them.

"I know, but I can't get out of my body during the day, and I can't use magic in the palace." Sebastian pointed to his dark circles and said, "Last night I only
