Chapter 5 Do you really want so many people together? Will it get all over your body?
Galadia left after announcing her decision, leaving the restless Griffith thinking nervously. He was excited, nervous, and a little scared.
After his mind went blank for a short time, he quickly calmed down.
According to Sidious, the elves of the Valannoy clan once tried to have Griffith killed during the mission to prevent his relationship with Galadia from getting closer and causing a scandal, or harming their interests.
The elves are so powerful that they can even hide it from Count Larmore for a short time and use the official power of Beyeland to plan a conspiracy. In order to achieve their goals, they do not hesitate to offend powerful figures like the Count, which shows that their will is also very determined.
Galadia knew about this. However, she still tried to take Griffith to Canaan and put him in front of the people.
Today's topic is undoubtedly a follow-up to the previous topic about knight competition and laurel crowns. Although Galadia covered her ears and did not dare to continue the conversation that day, after a period of hesitation, she had obviously made up her mind.
, what are you preparing?
Griffiths sat on the hospital bed holding his chest, rationality and sensibility intertwined in his heart.
She is a wonderful encounter in a distant world, a journey companion, a close friend and a classmate who gets along day and night, but not only that. Even if you are on a tiring march or hesitating on the edge of conspiracy, you can't help but think of her and her exquisite face.
Happy words, intimate touches, soft black hair and pointed ears, recalling the attachment and gentle hug that I didn’t want to leave when I was leaving.
There are indeed countless ways of being inappropriate with each other, the immortal elf and the short-lived human, the noble daughter of a famous family and the ordinary second son of a knight, not to mention the hidden conspiracy and fatal atmosphere detected in the encounter and past.
Danger.
The encounter that day was not accidental. Even if you hide under the quilt and cover your head, it cannot change this fact. If you get closer, those lofty gazes and lingering conspiracies will come to you sooner or later. No matter how dull you are, you should understand this.
.
The meeting that day was probably arranged. Shouldn't the reasonable judgment be to quit early and finish the rest of the studies at Homemonworth with eyes closed and ears blocked? Or, more safely, go to the pasha to find Elu.
Sha and Amber are looking for another happy and fulfilling life. This seems good...
No, I refuse! What was I thinking? Griffith shook his head vigorously.
Galadia’s character is joyful and free-spirited, but she is such a smart person~ So far, when she couldn’t answer, which time had she not carefully avoided the question?
As the daughter of a consul, wouldn’t she know what it means to bring a human to the people? She just didn’t write it on her face lightly, and she didn’t tell the answer early.
Galadia has done a lot in a place I don't know about. This invitation means that she has made up her mind and is ready, just like I am willing to fight by shouting her name and dedicating the laurel crown to her.
Same. There is no need to explain the meaning.
Now, it’s my time to act.
Griffith raised his head, stared at the distant sky outside the window, and said to the new gods and old gods, and to all those who were watching them:
“Come on, the dice has been cast.”
…
July is coming, the hot summer and the happy summer vacation are here.
Although the exams have ended, the experiments and lectures of some courses will not stop. After the potions course and experimental work for the day, Griffith quickly took two bites of his dinner and slipped out.
He brought some edible aromatics made by Sonia. The girl only thought it was an experiment in class for fun, but as soon as she heard that this thing could also be eaten, Griffith became interested and asked for it after class.
Come and prepare to add a little bit to one of your own pumpkins to try the effect.
Summer vacation is coming soon, and he will be away from school for a long time. Before that, he must handle the business of making moonshine properly, and inventory management cannot be careless.
He quietly walked through the deserted corridor and ran towards an unknown storage room.
Homemonworth is an amazingly large castle with many mysterious and hidden places. As an assistant in the Potions course, he found a well-ventilated and dry one from many empty houses facing the sea.
Use a hidden storage room to make your own secret base.
This small storage room was built on the foundation of the city wall in the southeast corner of the castle. The sea breeze can blow in through the small window. It is hidden and cool. It looks like a secret outpost dug during the war.
Griffith walked very carefully, deliberately turning back from time to time or checking the side roads to see if anyone was following him. Recently, he seemed to be able to feel a line of sight following him, but he had never actually discovered it.
“Boom!”
Griffith opened the door of the storage room and sighed contentedly.
His big pumpkins and wooden barrels are neatly arranged on the sturdy shelves, and there are twenty of them. He found the opportunity to get these from Kroger and the town of Baltimore, and it was not easy to get what he has today.
scale.
Although his recent mission has made him a lot of money, and the quasi-knight's allowance and salary are also very generous. However, he also spends money like water. All his savings are in the process of upgrading spell levels, repairing equipment, and making potions.
Run out.
What's more, sneaky things like bootlegging and selling alcohol are so addictive! When I think about this illegal and undisciplined business, I feel so high!
The sweet and intoxicating aroma of wine has filled the air, and the whole cabin is filled with an intoxicating smell. It’s time for another batch of private brewing!
Griffith carefully opened a lid. The sweet aroma stirred the heartstrings. Life must be incomplete without drinking pumpkin wine!
With a whole room filled with moonshine, Griffith will soon become the Hometown Watts liquor tycoon. When he reaches the second year and holds the title of noble or military officer, his business will dominate the underground of Hometown Watts.
trade!
“Many years later, my son will ask me: ‘Dad, did you really fight alongside those great heroes?’
“‘No, my children, I rule their joy, and they make me their Lord.’”
Ahahahaha! The more Griffith thought about it, the more proud he became. His throat squirmed and he couldn't wait to find the crystal cup he had prepared.
Looking at the bright red liquid flowing into the crystal vessel, shining with holy brilliance in the afterglow of dusk coming through the window. Griffith felt that his heart was drunk, completely immersed in the joy and happiness of the harvest.
He gently shook the wine glass and looked at the deep red liquid beads hanging on the wall of the glass. He couldn't help but close his eyes and smell the intoxicating aroma.
At this moment, a pair of cold hands suddenly covered his eyes, and a seductive voice sounded in his ears:
“It’s been a long time waiting for you!”
Griffith was so frightened that he trembled and the wine glass in his hand fell. But the hand covering his eyes was so quick that he caught the falling crystal glass without spilling a drop of wine.
“I can help you even if you don’t drink!”
This is Galadia's familiar jumping and joyful voice. The elf girl put a hand on the trainee knight's shoulder, raised the wine glass gracefully, and took a small sip.
“Hoo ho! Not bad, well done!” Galadia patted Griffith on the shoulder and shouted to the door, “Come on, come on, it’s even more delicious!”
Who is coming quickly? Why "more"? Griffith's face turned pale, and he turned around to see Fiona being the first to rush into his secret base.
Then Lana and Ophelia also poked their heads at the door, and then slipped in together with Midianmaia, opened each pumpkin and looked inside.
Finally, Sonia walked into the storage room with a curious face. She wanted to join in and see what was in the pumpkin, but she was a little embarrassed.
"This one and this one are ready to drink," Galadia pointed to the two big pumpkins familiarly, "Let the others go."
After hearing this, the robbers who rushed into the storage room immediately put away the other pumpkins and took down the two best ones.
Miss Elf took out Griffith's wine glass as she did in her own living room, poured a little for everyone, and thoughtfully poured half the glass for Griffith, and then raised her glass elegantly: "Please have a taste, everyone."
and express their opinions.”
…”
“Then I won’t be polite.”
“I’ll just drink a little.”
"Thank you for hospitality!"
As if in a dream, Griffith watched his friends who had not paid use their own wine glasses to fill their own wine glasses with the private wine that he had painstakingly prepared, and then drank it all in one gulp in front of him.
“Hoo~!”
Everyone who drank the wine exclaimed happily. The cold taste brought by being stored underground was impeccable.
Sonia held the wine glass, and after the sweet red liquid rolled into her delicate red lips, her originally somewhat restrained face blossomed, and the cool storage room seemed to be filled with beautiful morning light, becoming extraordinarily bright.
“It tastes so good!” Sonia stroked her lips in disbelief, “It has a completely different taste from the red wine I’ve drunk before. Griffith, you are so awesome.”
“Yes, really? Hehe.” Griffith stared blankly at the girl’s blushing smile.
Galadia raised her eyebrows and poured Sonia another glass: "You're welcome, one more glass."
"I'll have another drink too!" Fiona pulled her collar and tied her long skirt around her waist like a girl playing by the stream in the country, revealing her long and round legs, and knocked Lana with her hands.
on his shoulder, "Rana, don't stand there! Have you brought the snacks?"
The burly Lana nodded, took out two roasted golden lamb legs and a knife from the package and said: "It's too boring to sit here. Let's go to the vineyard outside the city wall. There is no one there now."
…
Griffith and his friends sat around in the vineyard pavilion under the city wall at sunset. The wine tasted soft and sweet, and there was an indescribable feeling of comfort and comfort in your mouth when you drank it under the refreshing sea breeze.
The first entrance was an irresistible pure taste. After everyone drank a big pumpkin one cup after another, the long-lasting drunkenness emerged. Ophelia was already drunk and jumped on the grassland holding Midian Maier and Lana's arms.
Tap dancing. Fiona swayed her long hair and pulled on the pillars of the gazebo to light a bonfire.
Galadia served everyone one cup after another like a lady who entertained guests. Griffith sat silently on the side, watching the private wine he had carefully stored disappear quickly. He was a little sad at first,
Gradually I started to like this feeling.
Sonia came to Griffith's side with a wine glass in hand, and sat on the bench in the pavilion, leaning slightly against his shoulder. The girl's fair cheeks were already blushing more than the sunset in the sky, and there was a wave of excitement in her somewhat intoxicated eyes.
Autumn water.
This is really a sight that Griffith has never seen before. The daughter of the Larmore family always has an impeccable and delicate smile, and a hint of boredom and exhaustion can be seen at the banquet. But at this time she looked like
Fiona, who was a few steps away, opened her collar, rolled up her long skirt and tied it around her waist, humming something softly.
This is a song that is extremely familiar but difficult to describe.
"This is a new song I wrote. It's a little strange to say it, but it appears in my mind like 'one light'. When the Frost Festival party this year, I will sing it with Galadia and Feo
Sonia sang along," Sonia suddenly turned her head, raising her chin and almost leaning on Griffith's shoulder, "Not bad!"
Griffith, who was already a little dizzy, quickly said with a big tongue: "It's wonderful, it seems to remind me of some memories, but it's not true."
"Yes~ It's so far away and unreal, as if we had known each other a long time ago in another world," the girl swayed on the bench, "I'm so happy to be with you all! Griffith, your life was always like this.
Of?"
Of course not~ Griffith turned his head and looked at the girl.
At that short moment, Sonia's delicate face and long pale golden hair reminded him of Krista's appearance deep in his memory. The temperaments of the two seemed to overlap briefly.
Sonia looked up at Griffith with her blue eyes, her crystal red lips so close...
“Listen to me! Listen to me!”
Galadia suddenly knocked on the cup, interrupting the confused Griffith.
The elf raised the pumpkin with only half of the wine remaining, and said to everyone seriously: "We can't just drink up Griffith's wine and just forget about it."
The apprentice knight immediately clenched his fists. Yes, you have to pay!
"If we wipe our mouths and leave every time after drinking, it won't be long before the entire storage room is drunk!" Galadia waved her right hand menacingly, "Every time we drink a pumpkin,
Just need to store another pumpkin’s wine!”
“That’s right!” Griffith’s friends shouted together, “Let’s go pick grapes and let him make new ones!”
…
The good grapes that had just grown in the vineyard were collected, and the robbers, who were staggering when walking, simply cleaned them.
Lana and Mediamaia found a shining stone trough from somewhere and poured the grapes into it.
Before Griffith could ask them what they were doing, several girls had already lifted their skirts, revealing their long white legs.
Sonia's face was flushed with blushes. She looked at Griffith's eyes with some embarrassment and quickly lowered her head: "This is my first time doing this, so I'm not very skilled at it."
What are you going to do? Griffith was shocked.
“I don’t know much about the techniques in this area,” Galadia’s skirt had already been raised to the extreme height. “Sonia and I can last longer together.”
What! So what are you going to do!?
Fiona's fingers gently slid across her fair legs: "Do we really need so many people together? Will we get it all over our bodies?"
What arrogant words!
Ophelia pulled up her hanging blond hair: "Be gentle, don't get it on your face and hair."
Four girls held up their skirts and walked into the stone trough filled with grapes.
“Ah~ this,” Sonia covered her mouth and exclaimed, “Why, it’s so deep!”
The crystal-clear and plump fruits were hidden from the girls’ delicate ankles, and red liquid splashed out amidst bursts of slight noises.
“It feels so weird!”
“Weird, but very comfortable!”
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the juice continued to gush out and splashed onto the long white legs of the four girls. The red grape juice was like summer fireworks, jumping in bursts of laughter and screams.
Griffith, Lana, and Median, who were all a little drunk just now, all stood aside in silence.
By the time the girls were tired of playing, the grapes in the stone trough had become the raw materials for fine wine.
Galadia wiped the bright red between her legs and carefully lowered her skirt: "It's getting late, let's go back first. It will be difficult to wash the school skirt if it gets stained."
“We can’t let the professors see us,” Sonia thought for a moment, “let’s sneak back through the stairs at the back door.”
“Then it’s up to you!” The girls waved to the silent boys, “We must cherish the fruits of our labor!”
The three Griffiths nodded together and watched the girls walk back with smiles.
When the flowing long hair disappeared around the corner of the city wall, there were only three assault cavalry left beside the summer pavilion who had been drinking all night.
I don’t know how long ago I had a drink with my comrades like this. It seemed like an era. However, tonight everyone has regained precious memories, reminding them of those familiar and happy days.
Everyone sat quietly, as if everything just happened was like a dream, and everyone was still in the dream and didn't want to wake up. Everything was said to each other in silence.
This is the tacit understanding and true friendship between comrades-in-arms and close friends.
“There is a question, um~” Lana, still in the mellow intoxication, slowly whispered, “Fiona’s part should be able to be separated, after all, the grapes are all one by one.”
Milemeier shook his wine glass and nodded: "Ophelia stands on the far right."
Griffith looked left and right, then stood up and walked aside vigilantly: "Since you are so insistent, then you can share a portion of the grapes, and the remaining juice is mine."
The comrades who returned from the east looked up into the stone trough together. There were traces of the girls' joy, flowing bright red and pieces of fruit pulp soaked in juice.
The refreshing cool breeze blows, and the drunkenness under the pavilion has disappeared, leaving only the shining light of swords and halberds and the murderous intent.
The cold air is lingering, the momentum is growing, and the wildness is rampant.
Lana stood up and took out his dagger from under his cloak: "You should know my attitude."
Medianmaea threw down his uniform and leaned down like a beast ready to attack.
