Chapter 117 Undercurrent
Although what happened at the gate of Black Domain City spread quickly throughout the entire Black Domain, for the vast majority of residents in the Black Domain, it was just a topic of conversation.
For most people, since the Soul School officials have not issued any notice, there is nothing to pay attention to.
Instead of spending time asking about these trivial things, they might as well spend more time thinking about how to improve themselves.
Therefore, with few people paying attention and the Soul School's deliberate suppression, the incident between Hela and Sophia at the city gate was quickly settled, and basically not many people knew what had happened.
Of course, this cannot be hidden from the Parliament of Truth.
After all, the Parliament of Truth is the only ruling body of the Tower of Truth, and the various schools are just groups that are selected to form local ruling structures based on the electoral system of local cities. Strictly speaking, they can all be regarded as subordinate bodies of the Parliament of Truth.
Although the Parliament of Truth has handed over a large amount of autonomy to various schools of thought according to regulations, it will still always put its own people in every city.
Therefore, whether it was the arrival of Roland and Hela, the contact between Hela and Sophia, or the small actions of the Soul School, the Parliament of Truth knew everything clearly through the people they had placed there.
It's just that the Parliament of Truth didn't dare to act rashly because of the news Roland passed on through the spellcasters of the Soul School.
Even if, as Roland guessed, the Parliament of Truth had a disagreement on how to treat Roland, no idiot would come and cause trouble before they reached a consensus.
It is precisely because of this that in recent days, it seems as if nothing has happened in the Black Domain.
Taking advantage of this peaceful period, Hela also began to show her talents.
She dragged Sophia around the Black Domain and took her to participate in a variety of activities, from various debates, practical competitions on splicing undead, the application of negative energy, to some small project innovation practices. Whether it was a private or official event, Hela took Sophia to participate in them all without any complaints.
Hela was talented and hardworking. Moreover, while Roland was teaching her attentively, he also took care of all her needs so that she could concentrate on her studies.
Therefore, although Hela had only followed Roland for a few years, the knowledge she possessed was no less than that of the Soul School mages.
Although Sophia did not have as good conditions as Hela, she knew more than ordinary spellcasters because of the knowledge that her mother and Hess secretly left to her.
Therefore, if two people compete together, basically even if they don’t get first place, the worst they can get is fifth place.
For any school of thought, wisdom and ability are what they respect most.
Therefore, the two people who demonstrated their respective wisdom quickly became famous in the Black Domain.
Although Sophia's performance was not as good as Hela's, and she was also the so-called Sinful Blood Princess, her wisdom and abilities were still recognized and respected by most spellcasters in the Black Domain, and there were no surprises due to her identity.
It turns out that the spellcaster of the Tower of Truth really doesn't care about Sophia's identity.
The reason why they ignored Sophia before, or looked at Sophia with strange eyes, was just because they felt that Sophia was a stranger to them and they were too lazy to pay attention to her, or maybe it was because Sophia wore a black robe every day and stood out in the crowd.
After Sophia proved herself, when she was occasionally taken out by Hela, she would receive greetings and respect from some black domain spellcasters.
In addition, the Parliament of Truth had been arguing over Roland's issue these days and had not been able to reach a consensus. In addition, Hela often dragged Sophia around. Therefore, no one would be so blind as to come and cause trouble.
Under the long-term influence of this environment, Sophia's mood improved at a visible rate.
As positive and negative energy are emotional energies, the emotions of the caster will naturally affect the positive and negative energy. Generally speaking, when the caster is in a good mood, he will learn positive energy spells faster, and when he is in a bad mood, he will learn negative energy spells faster.
The influence of this factor is also one of the reasons why Sophia was able to learn the negative energy-driven enchantment spells so smoothly in the past.
Now, after Sophia's mood improved, her efficiency in learning positive energy spells increased suddenly.
Sophia learned positive energy spells on her own, and with the positive energy knowledge Hela revealed to her from time to time, she found excuses to give her alchemical potions and the like.
In less than three months, with the help of Hela, Sophia achieved the balance of positive and negative energy in her body.
In a dimly lit room, Sophia opened her eyes. In her eyes, two positive and negative energies intertwined and transformed into each other, forming a delicate balance.
In less than a few seconds, the positive and negative energy in her eyes quickly dissipated and returned to their normal state.
Then she stood up and stretched her body.
As the positive and negative energies in her body became balanced, she felt a lot more relaxed all over.
Of course, this is just a balance of energy in the body. It does not mean that Sophia's level of positive energy spells has caught up with negative energy spells. What she is best at is still the enchantment spells driven by negative energy.
After calming the turbulent magic power in her body, Sophia walked out of the room, closed the door, and turned off the lights.
Sophia has become accustomed to a life of poverty. In order to save money, she even turns on the lights to the dimmest and lowest setting. There is no expensive magical furniture in the room, just basically ordinary furniture.
If the light hadn't come with the house, Sofia probably wouldn't have even installed it.
She sat on the sofa in the living room, took the book of wisdom from the table beside her, and opened it.
This was something Heiss had quietly slipped to her. It was no different from an ordinary book of wisdom, except that it came with its own account.
However, in order to avoid causing trouble for Hayes, Sofia would only use it at home and never take it out of the house.
She first searched to see if there was any private message from Hela to her. After confirming that there was none, she sent a private message to Hela herself, explaining her situation in the post.
After finishing all these, Sophia lay down on the sofa, holding the book of wisdom, and opened the local forum of the Soul School.
When she opened the local forum, a post immediately caught Sophia's attention.
Duel! The mysterious fourth-ring spellcaster Hela versus the veteran fourth-ring spellcaster Gryat!
Why did Hela fight with other fourth-ring spellcasters? !
After seeing the title, Sofia immediately straightened up and opened the post.
After quickly browsing the content of the post, her face changed drastically. She didn't even have time to close the Book of Wisdom. She threw it directly on the sofa, changed her clothes, and hurriedly ran out of the room and ran towards the duel arena in the Black Domain.
