Chapter 120 Temporarily over
No one knew what Griat was thinking in the short time after Lava Knight was expelled.

People who didn't know what kind of person Griat was were naturally very surprised to hear that Griat had admitted defeat and surrendered.

Especially Hela on the field.

As a face-to-face opponent, Hela is very clear about Gryat's condition.

Although Griat looked a little disheveled, it was mostly just a superficial appearance. He did not suffer much damage. Although a lot of magic power in his body was consumed, it was still sufficient.

You could obviously continue fighting, why did you suddenly surrender?
Hela was a little surprised, but since he had admitted defeat, Hela couldn't force him to continue fighting, right?
We are not outside, there are so many people watching us.

Although Hela didn't care much about her reputation, she followed Roland here and had to protect Roland's face. She didn't want her rudeness to be extended to Roland.

Therefore, Hela stopped the spell in her hand and at the same time, called out to the three-ring undead.

After the referee announced that Hela was the winner, the spellcasters in the audience stood up and applauded.

Although they didn't know what the situation was, no matter what, winning was winning.

Even the few fourth-ring spellcasters present stood up and applauded.

Although they did not necessarily have any favorable impression or favorable impression of Hela before, they were very unhappy with Griat's targeted attack on the undead.

Therefore, they were still happy to express their gratitude to Hela for defeating Griat.

Amid the enthusiastic applause from the audience, the spellcasters who came with Griat felt particularly awkward; they seemed out of place sitting where they were.

It would be bad to stand up and applaud with the audience, as it would be a slap in Gryatt's face. However, if they stayed seated, the gazes coming from all directions made them feel a little uneasy.

However, their ordeal did not last long.

After Griat politely bowed and said goodbye to Hela, they left the duel arena in dejection at Griat's invitation.

After returning the gift, Hela just watched Gryat and his group leave silently.

Although she was still somewhat confused, Hela was too lazy to think about it any further. After bowing to the audience around her to express her gratitude, she quickly left the stage.

In the corner of the audience, Sophia looked at the brilliant Hela on the stage, her eyes sparkling with longing.

After the duel ended in confusion, the spellcasters who came to watch the fight quickly left the arena and returned to their own affairs.

At the same time, the news of Hela's victory over Griat quickly spread through the Book of Wisdom to the Black Domain and even the entire Soul School.

Although there are some distortions in the details.

Sophia followed the crowd out of the auditorium and stood outside the door of the duel arena. She looked at the surroundings hesitantly.

Because she was too worried about the duel between Hela and Griat, she went out without any preparation.

Therefore, this was the first time she walked out of the streets of the Black Domain without wearing a black robe and without being with Hela.

Looking at the soul fire floating in front of her, Sophia had a subtle feeling.

Perhaps the positive and negative energies in her body had reached a balance, or perhaps with Hela's help, she discovered that the spellcaster in the Black Domain did not have as much ill will towards her as she had imagined. Or perhaps it was because she no longer needed to lower her head and walk in a black robe, nor did she have to keep her eyes on Hela.

She raised her head and looked at the dark sky in the Black Domain, which had hardly changed at all. Suddenly, she felt that this sky and this city were pretty good.

Where to go next?

Sophia walked on the street with some ease, thinking silently as she walked.

However, after thinking about it, Sophia couldn't think of any good place to go.

Although she had lived in this city for seven or eight years, Sophia's previous activities were basically in her residence, the Spellcaster Association, the grocery store, and the Mage Tower. She might not know this city as well as Hela, who at least memorized the map of the Black Domain.

After thinking it over, Sophia decided to go back to her residence. Maybe Hela had received her private post and replied to her message.

While she was thinking, a hand suddenly patted her shoulder from behind.

"Ok?"

Sophia turned back subconsciously.

A finger poked her in the face.

Hela met Sofia's eyes, smiled and said.

"Sophia actually came out on her own without wearing a black robe. That's good. She's made progress."

Having said that, Hela retracted her fingers, rubbed her head to express her praise and encouragement, then walked a few steps to the side and came to Sophia's side.

Sophia does not resist Hela.

Although Hela might be about the same age as her, Sofia saw a familiar figure in her: her mother.

In her memory of living with her mother as a child, her mother was about the same height as Hela, equally gentle, and often taught her hand in hand. Moreover, no matter what happened, she would stand in front of her and protect her.

So, even though she felt it was a little bad, Sofia still often treated Hela as her own mother.

But, mother, are you okay over in Ginza?

Thinking of her mother whom she had not seen for many years, Sophia's mood suddenly became depressed.

"sorry Sorry sorry"

"In the Black Territory, when mom is not around, you have to eat well, sleep well, and live a good life. Mom still has some money over there. Just be an ordinary person and live your life peacefully. If you encounter any trouble, go and tell your uncle over there, and he will help you."

In the last memory of her mother, the vague mother was holding her petite daughter in her arms and constantly whispering instructions to her.

As she spoke, the mother, a sixth-ring enchantment spellcaster, could not control her emotions, and a few tears fell from her eyes onto Sophia's face.

"Sophia, my child."

In the vague memory, bright red liquid flowed from the mother's face, and she stretched out her right hand to block her vision.

"Forget me, just treat me as if I were dead."

At the end of the memory, all Sophia could hear was the last sentence of the conversation.

"Teacher, Sophia, I'll trouble you from now on."

"Hey, why bother?"

After a moment of silence, the male voice continued.

"I'll take care of her, according to her wishes."

Sophia lowered her head, feeling depressed.

Hela looked at her depressed, reached out her hand to pull her up, and decisively changed the subject, she said with a smile.

"By the way, I found a very interesting place a few days ago. I have wanted to go there for a long time. Now I have time. Do you want to go with me?"
