Chapter 272 SP Sona and Standard Seraphine
What is the better way to change the policy of banning magic?
"Damn it!" Lux's face puffed up like a puffer fish.
"Abba!" Sona's chest also heaved.
They both nearly tore the book apart, but still couldn't find the answer.
Lux was unwilling.
Girls of this age are naturally very curious. Moreover, the answer to this question is closely related to her fate.
She didn't want to hide carefully as a demon-tainted sinner for the rest of her life, nor did she want Demacia to fall into chaos because of the loss of the magic ban. She really wanted to know the best of both worlds.
But the answer is not in the book.
Who should I ask?
"Got it!" Lux raised her head and looked towards the door of the lounge:
This book belongs to the leader, and the leader must know the answer.
Aren't they in the headquarters building of the Leaders Association now? As long as you walk out of the lounge, you will see leaders everywhere.
"Sona, should we go out and ask someone?" Lux urged her bestie.
"Aba..." Sona hesitated. Before leaving, Madam Ogasha told them to stay where they were and not to move around.
but……
Tap, tap, tap. There was a sound of crisp footsteps in the corridor.
Someone happened to pass by the lounge door.
She flashed past the narrow door frame , leaving only her flowing skirt dotted with crystal sequins, over-the-knee white stockings wrapped around her slender legs, calfskin boots, and her long pink ponytail fluttering behind her.
"Eh?" Sona's eyes lit up.
Could that person be...
Seraphine! It's Seraphine! She looks exactly like the Seraphine on the Walkman poster!
"Aba Aba!" So without Lux's urging, Sona ran out excitedly, carrying the guqin that she never left behind.
"Hey, wait for me!" Lux picked up the book "A Brief Account of Janna's Thoughts" and left.
"Aba Aba." Sona, who had a much more solid body, was more agile and quicker than Miss Lux at this time.
Seraphine heard footsteps behind her and when she turned around, she bumped into the excited Miss Sona.
She subconsciously hugged the little girl, who was actually not that small anymore, and then she lowered her head to look at the blue-haired twin-tailed girl that suddenly appeared in her arms. She looked at Sona's excited and flushed cheeks and asked:
"Little... um... girl, who are you?"
"Aba Aba!" Sona gestured excitedly. After she finished gesturing, she realized that her idol probably couldn't understand her sign language.
But Seraphine was slightly stunned and said, "Your name is Sona, and you are from Demacia? And you are my fan?"
"That's right!" Miss Sona lost her usual elegance and talked a lot like a chatterbox:
"Ms. Seraphine, I am your fan and your most loyal listener! I have listened to almost all of your works... Eh? Wait..."
She suddenly realized something was wrong: "Ms. Seraphine, how do you understand my sign language? Um, wait..."
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Sona's forehead.
She wasn't using sign language at all, they were...
"We are speaking with our minds." Seraphine gently hugged Sona, and through physical contact, she allowed her soul to communicate with this poor mute girl.
"Don't worry, this is my magic." Seraphine explained in a warm voice.
"Oh no, this is my magic!" Sona, who was worried about exposing her identity as a demon possessed, also shouted fearfully in her heart.
Seraphine, Sona: "..."
They looked at each other and said in shock:
"Can you hear the voice of the soul, too?"
"Can you hear the voice of the soul, too?"
"We have the same abilities?"
"We have the same abilities?"
Seraphine, Sona: "..."
The two of them were almost 100% in sync. If it weren't for their different body shapes and appearances, they would have been half sisters.
"Wait...Sona from Demacia?" Seraphine thought of something.
She remembered that Levi seemed to have mentioned to her that there was a girl in Demacia whose talents and abilities were very similar to hers.
Levi even gave this girl named Sona a nickname in private, and that nickname seemed to be...
Her name is "Beau Seraphine".
Seraphine didn't know Sona before, and didn't know how Levi knew Sona, but she still felt that it was a bit impolite to give someone a nickname like that.
But today I saw it and realized...
"We really are alike." Seraphine exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah." Sona pursed her lips with a complicated look.
She had always carefully concealed her magic in Demacia. Even though she had the ability to communicate with others through thoughts, she dared not reveal it at all and could only work hard as a mute.
It is difficult for a person who can't speak to make friends.
In the past few years, apart from her adoptive parents, the Barretts, and her stepsister, Kashina, only Lux was willing to learn the complicated sign language and communicate with her by gestures.
Now, she finally found someone with whom she could talk openly.
Seraphine, her idol, is also her kind.
"Ms. Seraphine..." Sona was able to speak, but she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
"Um, Sona?" She was still organizing her words, but Ms. Lux interrupted them with a puzzled look on her face: "What are you doing?"
The two were communicating with their minds. But from Lux's perspective, Sona and Seraphine were just hugging each other inexplicably, staring at each other in silence for about a minute.
"I..." Sona didn't dare to expose herself in front of her friends.
Seraphine was in tune with her, so she smiled and helped cover for her: "I am communicating with Sona through my mind. That is my magic."
"Communicate with your mind?" Lux was slightly stunned, then said in surprise: "You, you can talk to Sona?"
"Yes." Seraphine blinked.
She walked over, holding Sona's hand with one hand, and gently stroked Lux's soft short golden hair with the other hand: "Not only can I talk to Sona, but you can too."
Before Lux could react, her soul was connected with Sona with the help of Seraphine.
"Lux." Sona's voice reached her "ears" for the first time.
"Sona!" Lux clenched her fists excitedly: "Oh my God, Sona, your voice is so beautiful... This is great! If you can talk to people like this in the future, then..."
Her excited voice stopped abruptly.
Because Lux suddenly realized that they were using magic, and Demacia banned magic.
After returning to Demacia, Sona will still have to be mute for the rest of her life.
Maybe she could try to learn this magic? Then, at least, she would be able to talk to Sona.
No, no... In that case, she would have to expose her identity as a demon-tainted person to Sona. If Sona knew that she was a sinner, would she still be her friend?
Lux thought so tangledly.
“??!” Seraphine and Sona, who were sharing their minds, changed their expressions at the same time.
"Lacus, you can also use magic?!" Sona shouted in her heart in surprise.
“Eh?!” Lux was startled: “No, no, no, I can’t! Wait…”
"'Also' know magic?" She reacted foolishly: "Why do you say 'also'?"
For a moment, Sona, Lux, and Seraphine were all silent.
Finally, Seraphine said in a subtle tone: "Demacia's policy against magic is more stringent than I thought."
Two upper-class ladies from noble families, best friends, had been dating for several years but did not dare to let the other know that she was a wizard.
Once a person is infected with evil, he will be despised and rejected by the entire society, including his best friends, lovers, and even family members.
This is the result of the increasingly radical policy of banning magic over the past few hundred years.
Sona and Lux both knew this.
So after knowing each other's identity as the infected, the two quickly went from the initial excitement and excitement of finding a kindred spirit to the anxiety and panic after the "scandal" was exposed.
"Sona won't tell anyone about me, right?" Lux actually thought so.
"Will Lux tell anyone about my affairs?" Sona actually thought so too.
And the other party can hear what they are thinking now.
Lux, Sona: "..."
"I'm sorry..." Lux felt extremely guilty.
"I'm sorry..." Sona said the same .
They don't know why they are afraid of their best friend at the first moment, but this fear seems to have been engraved in their DNA and become an instinct.
"It's not your fault." Seraphine touched the two girls' heads sympathetically.
The life of a mage in Demacia is so hard.
Can it be changed?
Lux and Sona thought of this question at the same time, a question they had just wanted to know but still had no answer to.
“Of course there is a way,” said Seraphine.
"Are you willing to tell us?" Both girls looked over eagerly.
There must be a reason why the answer was not written in the book. They were worried that the leader would refuse to answer this question to two outsiders like them.
"Don't worry. Goddess Janna will not reject anyone who seeks progress." Seraphine looked at Lux and Sona with a smile.
Especially Sona.
This girl's abilities are as useful as hers, it would be great if she could be brought home.
This girl has a mature figure, but her mind is still like a child. It's not easy to fool such a silly noble lady.
Sona: “…”
"Miss Seraphine?"
"Um?"
"Are you calling me stupid?"
