Chapter 7 Journey

It takes three days to cross the Sea of ​​Tranquility from the Baltimore Harbor outside Homemon Watts. Passenger ships usually dock in the bustling Sebasto, where passengers transfer to sailboats going up the river or from

Travel overland to Turan Fortress.

Naturally, the consul's daughter and the countess would not make the journey so inconvenient. They rented a luxurious yacht, which shortened the sailing time by one-third, and they could continue their journey without changing at Sebasto. Turan

Local guides and transport teams from the fort have been summoned. They will carry lighting, climbing and digging tools, as well as mules and dogs, waiting to meet their employers in the towns near the fort.

Since he did not want to bring unfamiliar guards with him, Griffith and Rana alternated the security work along the way. Except for the busy sailors, there was no one else on board the yacht.

The organizational structure of the Sebasto Region is similar to that of the Verona Region. In principle, it is governed by the Grand Duke of Sebasto and his vassals. But in fact, the relationship between the Duke and the kingdom is very close, and most of the nobles in the densely populated areas are

Coming from Beyeland, administrative and financial rights are limited, and the kingdom's administration, tax authorities and garrisons penetrate deep into most towns. It can almost be regarded as a province directly under the kingdom's jurisdiction.

The city of Sebasto is the capital of this region. It was once an ancient port fortress. With continuous reconstruction and expansion, only a small area near the port remains in the fortress area. Outside the fortress walls are merchants and immigrants from all over the world.

The intricate blocks built account for more than 90% of the city's total area.

In the upper reaches of the Tierne River, ancient ruins are hidden in quiet forests, precipitous valleys and dank swamps. Citizens often go there to take risks, dig out gold and silver treasures and extraordinary properties in ancient tombs and sell them, or they are infected.

The monster is back in town.

When the yacht arrived in Sebasto, the cries of vendors and the aroma of dinner wafted far from the port to the yacht. The ancient city and the unfamiliar atmosphere in the summer dusk gave people a feeling of excitement, and they couldn't help but

If you want to be curious, go and explore the stories behind the streets and city walls.

Griffith took a deep breath, and the summer heat and refreshing sea breeze brushed his cheeks with an exciting magic. Before setting off, he and Sonia planned the itinerary together, knowing that there were many delicious foods in this place.

A fun place. It’s a pity that everyone’s schedule is in a hurry and there is no time to play.

At this time, Galadia, who had put on a short skirt, walked from the side of the ship. She stood quietly next to Griffith, and looked at the city in the distance with him. The sea breeze blew her long hair and

The hem of the skirt made Griffith's mind suddenly agitated.

The unique breath of the girl caressed his soul. The profile looking at the sea and the harbor was really perfect. She leaned on the side of the ship, her slender and straight legs extended to the round and exquisite curves, and then came the slender and graceful figure.

, leading to graceful curves under the close-fitting dress.

No, I can't watch it anymore! Griffith felt the blood surge in his nose. He suddenly had an idea. If it was successfully realized, he could witness a scene like the Kingdom of God. But if he proposed it himself, there would be a certain chance that he would be seen through.

I'm afraid there won't be any good fruit to eat. I have to think of a way...

"When we return, we can go shopping in the city." Griffith's heart jumped, and he changed his mind and brought up other topics.

“But I’m not going back to Bijalam with you, right?” Galadia said, “This expedition only lasts about ten days. Then I will go back to Canaan and you will go back to Bijalam.”

"So it's us, you and me," Griffith gestured with his finger, "I'm talking about the time I came to Canaan and we returned together before school started."

"You can say this," Galadia pressed her heart, "I hope everything goes well."

 “It might not go well?”

“My divination has yielded nothing.” The elf took out the divination pendant from his collar and shook it, “Besides, there is something abnormal.”

"What's up?"

Galadia looked at him hesitantly, and it took a while before she spoke: "Sidious, he reminded me to keep in touch with you regularly."

 …

"Today I will take you to eat grilled swamp crocodile tail, fried velociraptors and delicious wind snakes!" Sonia, who had been calm all the way, suddenly came to the deck and loudly announced a decision, saying that she would get off the ship and take a rest no matter what.

Everyone had dinner before setting off. With sparkling eyes, she vividly described the local food and attractions, repeatedly emphasizing that there were many delicious things that would be unavailable if she missed them, until everyone was convinced.

The yacht immediately docked at the port. Sonia used pathfinding skills to lead everyone around in a maze of small alleys, and arrived at a lively night market.

She found a shop with familiarity and ordered food. She took off her coat and tied it around her waist. She enthusiastically brushed the iron mesh with fragrant butter, and then put crocodile meat, velociraptor meat, wind snake meat, etc. for everyone to see.

Unseen meat was roasted on the fire.

Everyone looked at her and shouted together: "Can crocodiles be eaten too?"

 “What is a wind snake? Is it not poisonous?”

Sonia said confidently: "Of course, the crocodile's tail is delicious. Otters will attack them, bite off the tail and take it back to eat. As for other things, the cleaned muscles are not poisonous."

The flames roasted the strange meat until it was sizzling with oil, and the alluring aroma was irresistible.

 Griffith looked at the suspicious meat, then at Sonia, remembering the divination tea she had made, and quickly ate some bread before getting up to stand on the second-floor balcony to be on guard.

“The Northern Territory has been divided into east and west banks by the Tirne River since ancient times. The east bank is favored by the goddess of the silver moon and starlight, and the west bank is the place of sunset and worship, protected by the holy light.

“We can stay in the temple of the Goddess of Starlight at night, and tomorrow morning we can see the sun rising from the sea in the east. The sea and the city will be as gorgeous as the stars. It is a wonder on earth and must not be missed.”

“Sonia, we agreed that we would only come for dinner and not spend the night,” Fiona reminded her.

"But aren't you curious? This is a completely different world from Bayerland and Homemonworth. It's chaotic and far away. Don't you think it has a particularly exotic flavor?" Sonia opened her notebook on the table.

Let me show you where to pass next and what delicious food there is along the way.

After leaving the strict school spirit of Homemon Watts, the girls began to let themselves go. Wearing short skirts with open necklines revealing their fair skin and undulating curves, they happily sat around the fire in the eyes of the tourists passing by.

Eat Sebasto's specialty barbecue with ice-cold sherry.

“Is this a travel guide?” Galadia swallowed a piece of crocodile meat and asked, “I saw Griffith do something similar.”

"Yes, I collected it from the travel manual. Griffith is very good at this, and he helped me prepare it."

Galadia, who was about to pick up the crocodile meat, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Fiona looked down at the greasy barbecue and kicked Lana under the table, who opened his mouth to admire.

This is a thick stack of guides. The beautifully printed manuals and newspapers have been cut out, neatly folded and pasted on the notebook. Detailed comments are written in Junxiu handwriting in the blank spaces, and routes and routes are also drawn on the map.

Illustration.

  Such a detailed guide would take several hours to complete.

Naturally, there is no time to do this before the exam is over. After the exam, everyone is either in class or drinking wine and discussing topics, saving time for meals to get together and play Auto Chess and King of Mystery until dark... This guide only

It could have been done after dark.

Galadia couldn't help but raise her head and looked seriously at Griffith on the second floor terrace...

People were coming and going in the market, and the environment was very complicated. For safety reasons, Griffith did not join the dinner party, but stayed on guard at a higher position to watch the passers-by. Others chatted and laughed and ate first.

Barbecue, and then eat ice cream, looking like he won't give up until he gets gastroenteritis.

 After a while, Lana came over to replace him. When Griffith began to review tomorrow's schedule, this guy stood aside and muttered to himself.

"Lana, what are you muttering about? Be careful." Griffith criticized, "Even in a safe zone, you can't be careless."

“Well, yes, you are right,” the hussar nodded and looked around. After a few minutes, he suddenly asked: “I heard that Miss Sissi invited you to go on a summer inspection together?”

“No, I just met her in the corridor and chatted casually about our summer vacation arrangements. She invited me to be her guest when I return to Bijland.”

“Well~” Lana cast his gaze back and suddenly asked, “Who is older, her or Sonia?”

 “It should be Miss Sissi.”

“Really? As expected, you prefer legs.”

 Griffith raised his head blankly, feeling that he had missed some key information in the conversation.

Lana looked around and began to mutter, "I think your data is biased. The correct order is Sonia, Sissi, Fiona, Galadia, Ophelia, and Cruella."

,Well, Mira and Nona are in no particular order.”

"..." Griffith covered his head after understanding what was being said, "Rana, the ranking you are talking about is definitely not age, right?"

“Of course not, am I that boring?” Lana said seriously.

“Fiona will be beaten to death if she hears you doing this kind of ranking.”

 “It’s okay if she didn’t hear it!”

Griffith put down the pen in his hand and said seriously: "Although you are my friend, friendship must give way before the truth. Galadia is ranked before Fiona because she has a better figure because of her long legs.

She is tall so that she doesn’t stand out. By the way, the same is true for Ophelia, Fiona has to step back two more places.”

"Tsk, Midian Maier is also saying the same thing. You are all blinded and have lost your fair judgment," Rana said angrily. "Your views are baseless! As a gentleman, I stand with you for the sake of truth."

The only way to go is duel."

 “Have you ever observed it up close?”

 “Um, this...”

 “Is there any data?”

 “Also, do you have data?” Rana exclaimed.

"Rana Lana, you can't do this," Griffiths shook his finger, "Sneaky peeks, crude guesses, baseless statements, false gentlemen?"

 “...” Lana was stunned.

“But I am different,” Griffith said. “I have an upright taste, precise and meticulous comparison, a hidden belief in my heart, and a true gentleman.”

“How could you, ah!” Lana was shocked, “How did you do the fair tasting? How could they do it?”

"Of course they will agree," Griffith said seriously, "Let's go to the beach next summer."

"What?!"

"How about going to the southern continent? My family is in Carolan. By that time, the south should already be a security area. We also have the strength of Sequence 7, and it is within our capabilities to explore there," Griffith said, "

Go to the beach for a trip! The swimsuits there are said to be very simple.”

 Lana patted him hard on the shoulder, "Then, then!"

“The problem of close observation and lack of data will be solved. We will be able to open the door to the truth, and even the truth will take the initiative to find us.”

"Oh——! As expected of you!" Lana rubbed his hands and stood up excitedly, "Why didn't I think of that? I'll go talk to them now and settle the matter now."

 Go quickly, go quickly! I'm just waiting for you to do this. Griffith looked at him with an encouraging smile.

As for how to convince them, or what will happen if the true purpose is discovered, well, it’s not me who gets beaten anyway.
