Griffith took a light boat and set off from Baltimore Harbor outside Homemonworth in the early morning. He arrived in Raven City on the afternoon of the second day after departure.
 This is also one of the most important trading cities in the Eastern Province.
For this mission, he wore a double-layered armor of breastplate and mail. The silver oak leaf knight's eagle badge and the emblem of the reserve assault squadron leader were urgently painted on the breastplate to identify his identity. Raven was a wealthy man.
In big cities, there are many local stocks and supplies, and war horses or main weapons will be provided according to conditions. Therefore, he only brought a sword, a feather fencing sword and several daggers with him as weapons.
 Under the warm sunshine, people were coming and going in Raven Harbor, creating a peaceful scene.
Although there was a suspected black magic incident, there was no curfew in the area, and a large number of civilians were walking around without protection. Since the war in the east had ended and the scale of the rebellion in the west was limited, the citizens in this area were not armed.
 Wearing light and comfortable clothes, they walked around the crowded port area with a relaxed look, doing business, going through customs clearance and security inspection of goods.
 Griffith's heavily armed appearance was eye-catching at the port. As soon as he got off the ship and before he reached the registration and security passage, a group of garrison soldiers came over.
They first looked at the fine armor with confusion, realizing that he was not a civilian, and then saw the medals and military rank insignia.
 “Sir!”
 “Your Excellency, Quasi-Knight!”
The soldiers immediately raised their right hands to their chests and beat their left chests.
“Soldiers, why is there no martial law here?” Griffith returned the greeting and asked doubtfully.
“We did not receive the notice, sir,” said the captain of the garrison. “Although we heard some bad news, neither the city nor the garrisoned mage tower issued martial law or curfew.”
Griffith shook his head and let the soldiers leave.
Officials are already suspecting that the cult is manipulating the resurrection of the dead, and paranormal commandos have also been sent over. Why isn't martial law enforced in Raven?
Rihanna’s garrison mage is too much.
　　The garrison knight Saffirion is a lawbreaker with a background in Homon Watts. He is probably a Shutoral from a certain family. Why didn't you remind her? Are you living a stupid life in Gentle Village?
Griffith's mission this time was not to kill people and set fire, but to appear as an intelligence officer sent by Beyelan, responsible for supervising and coordinating the Extraordinary, the Extraordinary team and local forces. He holds the rank of reserve assault squadron leader
In addition, he also received a temporary status as a special investigator, and he has the authority to supervise and report on the work and situations of local Extraordinaries.
 There are generally three types of titles for military and civil servants in Bijaland.
First of all, there are the orders that mark status and honor. In addition to the five-level knighthoods of duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron, there are also knights, priests, and bachelor's titles corresponding to different professions. Different orders have varying levels of annuities or
Allowance. Griffith's current rank is that of a quasi-knight, which is a higher status than a civilian.
The second title is the military rank or official position that determines basic daily duties and salary. Griffith's reserve assault squadron commander rank is his daily duty, and it is also the basis for determining his current officer salary of 150 silver francs per month and 1,800 silver francs per year (he
The monthly allowance of 50 silver francs and the annuity income of 100 silver langs are not included in the calculation).
As wartime conditions were lifted, the importance of third titles grew in importance, that is, temporary assignments and appointments that determined the content of missions and their authority for a specific period. Griffith's status as a special investigator qualified him to attend missions
Relevant official confidential meetings, and can report directly to superiors on the situation of other actors. In fact, he is the spokesperson of the Beyeland official and the Larmor family in this area. This authority allows him to restrict other people and parties under certain circumstances.
Coordinate many resources. Even high-ranking bureaucrats and powerful extraordinary beings must give him three points of face.
 After completing the immigration formalities, Griffith waited in the rest area of ​​the port.
The information on the Beyonder team participating in this mission is not complete. The few information that is available is that Amber will arrive at about the same time as him. Griffith plans to meet up with the trainee investigator and then go to Raven Mage Tower together.
Establish a headquarters and intelligence center there and start work immediately.
The weather in Port Raven is sunny, and the warm afternoon sunshine reminds Griffith of Amber's long blond hair. It was not long ago that he fought with her.
 According to intelligence, the cultists who absconded from Neopolis Island are fleeing carrying the dangerous sealed artifact "Call of the Ancestor".
However, no matter how the cultists dodge and maneuver, the powerful fleet has firmly locked the route to the vast southern continent. Beyelan sent senior investigators, and the most prestigious Beyonder Academy "Beacon" in the south also sent
After recruiting demon hunters and cooperating with official high-level mages to surround them from several directions, the cultists had to flee to the eastern continent and were about to fall into a preset pocket.
After the appalling tragedy on Neopolis Island, Bayerland's central department did not dare to neglect at all. A powerful and rigorous intelligence system is being rapidly deployed, laying a dense network in the vast sea area and ports. Once surrounded from all sides,
The Beyonder team has locked onto the traces of the cultists and confirmed that they indeed came to Raven with the terrifying sealed artifact. The official will immediately launch a thunderous strike.
 A commando team composed entirely of selected Sequence 6 extraordinary beings will crush any resistance.
However, these tasks also require local cooperation. No matter how powerful the extraordinary is, it is impossible for him to complete the warning, investigation and defense work for hundreds of thousands of people. The administrative agencies and extraordinary event management units in various places may not be aware of it even if they receive the notice.
The seriousness of the incident, as shown by the peaceful Raven, is a clear example.
 It is common for policies and orders conveyed from top to bottom to be poorly implemented, which is why Griffith needs to be sent.
"Griffith!" Amber's familiar voice came from afar. The blonde girl, carrying a small shoulder bag, jumped over from the armrest of the trestle like lightning and landed in front of the trainee knight.
Still full of energy.
 “Long time no see, how are you?”
“It hasn’t been long, but it’s still nice to see you, Amber. Where are your fellow witchers?”
"Captain Erza and the others? They have arrived a long time ago and are doing official business in Raven City. I was delayed for a while because of things at school. Alala, have you been promoted to officer and associate knight?"
 “Yes, the salary has also increased.”
"That's great! You were promoted so quickly." Amber hooked Griffith's arm and dragged him to the ice cream shop, "It's so hot, please treat me to a cold drink! I heard that you won the battle in the west.
, there must be a lot of bonuses!”
  News spreads so fast! Griffith smiled slightly:
“Let’s go meet up with other operational units and departments first, and treat you to food later.”
"No! I want to eat a strawberry sundae with cream! Double balls!" Amber grabbed his hand and refused to let go, "When the mission starts, you will definitely forget it with your persistence! Five minutes, only five minutes
minute!"
Griffith finally obeyed and walked to the store to pull out a chair for the girl and ordered delicious food according to her wishes.
“After we finished eating, we quickly went to the Mage Tower to apply for martial law. Raven did not implement a blockade and curfew under the threat of black magic contamination. This is wrong.” Griffith said seriously.
"Okay, okay," Amberle ate happily, "after I finish eating this cup of mellow and creamy deliciousness, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want."
Griffith looked at the small crepe in his hand, and then at the frighteningly large ice cream opposite the seat. This brand-new food requires a very complicated production process, and the price is astonishing. It has only recently been available in the upper reaches of big cities.
It became popular among citizens.
Amber has long blond hair, which is spread to her waist like Galadia, but it is fluffy and curly, swaying in the breeze. In appearance, she does not look like a huntress who deals with black magic at all, and her waist is very slim.
Slender but full of elasticity, leather pants and boots wrap up her toned and straight long legs. Although Amber's top is worn very carefully and is protected by a sophisticated leather breastplate, it is not tightly wrapped, and deep lines are occasionally exposed.
And the rounded outline still caught Griffith's eye from time to time, reminding him of Galadia, and then he felt deeply guilty.
 Be loyal, I want to be loyal!
Well~ Illusion, it may be some kind of illusion that attracts attention~ The new prospective knight said to himself in his heart, relying on his strong will to raise his eyes upward. The young girl's unique long pale golden hair looked like it was in the bright sunshine.
Transparent, dazzling and pure, simply beautiful.
　　It’s so powerful...an illusion! Is this a charming enchanted accessory? Amber really doesn’t even slack off in daily life. Griffith sighed in his heart.
“We’ll go find Captain Erza after we finish eating. She’s missed you.” Amber took a big bite of the ice cream. “Oh, your crepe is pretty good! Give me a bite.”
 Griffith handed over the crepe that he had taken two bites of.
Amber leaned forward, and her deep lines and plump shapes rolled over like mountain peaks. She gently lifted a strand of blond hair on her cheek, opened her sexy red lips, took a bite of the crepe, and uttered a
A soft praise and moan, "Uh-huh..."
 Griffith's face immediately turned red. He pretended to be nonchalant, holding up the crepe with one hand, raising the other to his ear, and pinched himself hard.
How could I do this! I, an unruly wild cat in heat, need to know my shame, I need to know my shame!
At the same time as this pinch, a strong sense of crisis suddenly struck. The ferocious malice pierced my heart like a needle, lingering and disturbing.
Amber suddenly put away her casual smile, opened her sapphire eyes and stood up, scanning the surroundings with vigilance. At the same time, she took out a pair of golden gauntlets and put them on her arms: "Pay attention, I feel something, but there is nothing around me."
What a sign of danger."
 Passengers entered and exited the port as usual, customs and quarantine officials were slowly reviewing documents, nearby shops were doing business as usual, and a little further out on the sea, sailing ships were approaching the shore.
The wind was howling, and the port area that was calm just a moment ago suddenly became turbulent.
"There!" Griffith suddenly pulled Amber and retreated into the port. As he retreated, he shouted to nearby shops and passers-by, "Get out, the ship is coming!"
In the howling gale, a huge three-masted sailboat deviated from the normal channel, brushed the stern of the incoming ship, ignored the panicked warnings of the port tugboats, and rushed straight towards the shopping street of the port area. It was traveling at extremely fast speed
, it was obscured by other ships at first, and was already close at hand when it was discovered.
 “Boom!”
