Chapter 16 Please Yinyue and the stars to witness our contract, are you willing to be my guardian kn
It wasn't until night that Galadia appeared in a hurry.
Miss Elf was wearing a beautiful light green evening gown with an astonishingly short skirt. Her steps were light and elegant, and when she appeared at the door, her long and straight legs took Griffith's breath away.
This is a rare attire in Beyeland, but the elves like this kind of skirt that can show off the slender leg curves very much. Many elves on the street wear it like this.
Griffith was lying on the floor of his room, searching for the cracks in the corner of the wall, trying to find out if there was a big hidden rat nest. He was half-kneeling on the ground and looked up, seeing the fair skin and charming figure between the hem of his skirt.
The scenery surpassed his understanding, and he almost fell to his knees.
"What are you looking for?" She seemed to be in a good mood, her face was a little pale due to fatigue, but her eyes were sparkling.
After hearing what Griffith said about last night, the elf fell into thinking. Not only thinking, she seemed to be very excited, as excited as a child getting a new toy.
"Maybe it really is a terrible demon."
"What?" Griffith was shocked. Is there really a demon in Canaan!?
"Did you know? There are some terrible monsters hiding in the shadows and corners where the light of Canaan cannot illuminate. Since childhood, we have been taught to stay away from places without light and not to play there."
"Why don't you attack them?" Griffith asked with concern. He became restless when he thought that there were dangerous monsters hidden in the place where Galadia lived.
Hearing this question, Miss Elf jumped up on the table and sat down, swinging her legs and said seriously: "A long time ago, a terrible war happened.
"A hateful legion of those filthy and decaying monsters suddenly emerged from the darkness. They were covered in black stench, skinny, filthy, ugly, and greedy at the same time. They swept away everything in front of them like a black tide.
Things. They launched surprise attacks on the streets, burning buildings in alarming numbers. When the madness finally came to a halt, they destroyed half the city, devoured the food in the distribution center, and then ate more.
Everyone’s cats, dogs and squirrels were killed, and even two poor elves were killed.”
An army of monsters actually appeared in Canaan. This was amazing. Griffith was greatly shocked: "When did it happen?"
"It is said to have happened in the middle of the Second Age, hundreds of years ago," Miss Elf said. "The public statement is that their remnants have been eliminated. But I feel that the remnants of the monster army are still accumulating their power. Every moment
They have all become stronger. It may be because there are bad guys among the elves helping them. I have quietly conducted investigations before. Look over there."
Miss Elf pointed to the plains outside the window. There was a green farm there, growing potatoes, radishes, alfalfa and turnips, as well as many other vegetables. A handful of elves led the brownies and puppet creatures to take care of it.
"There is a legion of demons that have been entrenched in the darkness, carrying out their terrible mysterious rituals. This legion has a particularly large number of people and needs to consume a lot of supplies, so they colluded with some bad elves. I have calculated,
The cooked vegetables grown on the farm far exceeded the needs of the Canaanites."
Galadia is actually very timid, and the slightest movement will scare her. But she also likes stories about mysteries and ghosts, and once she gets her energy high, she can compete with Sonia who lost her mind in the ruins.
This absurd little story stunned Griffith for a while.
"Galadia."
"Why! What do you think? My friend."
"Are you kidding me?"
"No, why do you think so?" The girl raised her chin and asked frankly.
"The army of demons is hiding and eating vegetables every day...Are you trying to entertain me?"
"Ah? Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing is right! We have assembled a legion, why don't you jump out and kill you, but you live on eating vegetables every day? These demons are like a nest of rabbits?"
The elf girl's face showed an expression of shock and realization. She was shocked by this astonishing discovery, and it took her a long time to recover.
"Griffith, you are worthy of it," the girl praised the would-be knight from the bottom of her heart, "You are so smart, I didn't expect that."
"This, this is not the case." Griffith scratched his face in embarrassment after being praised.
"You filled in the last piece of the puzzle that I lost, allowing me to restore the truth of the legend," Galadia said thoughtfully, "So that's it, this is a group of people with scarlet eyes and big protruding teeth.
Creatures with extremely long ears and an inhuman gray-white body. There are endless numbers of them, hiding in the darkness and making rustling chewing sounds. Once someone accidentally touches their secrets, they will see the creatures peeping in the darkness.
My homeland, countless pairs of blind and dull eyes...
"Well, that's it. I'll say this next time I go to scare the kids!"
"..."
Griffith looked at her speechlessly. After a while, Galadia suddenly remembered something:
"Oh, why are we chatting again? Come on, there is a party at the Nebula Temple today. I will introduce you to some big shots in Canaan!"
This is so kind, Griffith breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't you need to see the consul today?"
"No, I'll see him tomorrow!" The girl tilted her head, "Why, you seem to be looking forward to meeting him?"
…
Although every elf looks very elegant and beautiful, the distinguished guests at the party are even more extraordinary, and they are simply not ordinary creatures.
They tasted wine and talked in the banquet hall of Nebula Temple, and everything they did was extremely charming.
However, Griffith had a vague feeling that some noble elves were looking at Galadia with an uncomfortable look like appreciating food.
He thought it was from lust at first, and immediately became disgusted and angry. However, he soon discovered that the strange eyes were not only coming from male elves. There were also some female elves looking at her.
The elves who showed this expression were all of extraordinary status. They looked at the Archon's daughter without any scruples, obviously expecting something.
The unknown plots and expectations even frightened Griffith, and he wanted to take the girl and escape from here.
After the party officially started, the host's speech was very brief, and neither the speaker nor the audience was interested. On the contrary, the end of the speech made everyone feel refreshed. Many guests opened their small bags, took some cigarettes mixed with magic crystals, and drank slowly.
Sucked up.
The surging magic made Griffith feel extremely uncomfortable. The noble banquet suddenly turned into a gathering of smokers. But the smokers have noble status and elegant movements, and even such a thing has an intoxicating sense of beauty.
The male elves smoked large cigarettes as thick as human cigars, while the female elves used cigarettes that were more slender and beautiful. Everyone was immersed in it, and even the boredom on their faces was much less.
After smoking, the host of the banquet started another round of toasts. Although I don’t know why everyone celebrated, they just drank.
"Canaan, the city of stars, will always be glorious!" the host shouted.
Just after saying this, the bright light in the hall flickered. Griffith looked out the window and saw a place in the distant neighborhood that was completely plunged into darkness.
This... the eternal glory we just promised?
Griffith was about to make a few comments when suddenly there was a pain on the back of his hand. Galadia pinched him hard without attracting attention.
"It depends on the atmosphere, the atmosphere!" the girl whispered to him.
"Is there no problem with this just now?" Griffith asked in a lowered voice.
"It must be a facility failure. I heard that it has become more and more frequent in recent years." The elf almost bit his ear and defended his city. "You don't have any objection if the oil lamps and candles flicker.
, it’s unfair to be so harsh on Eternal Glory.”
Eternal glory is not what you call yourself. Griffith muttered in his stomach.
The elves in the hall looked as normal, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, a rare and impressive elf male came over:
"Galadia, long time no see."
His appearance is not as soft and delicate as other elves. Although he is handsome, his resolute and self-disciplined temperament makes people look at him. In his movements, a touch of elegance blends with the majesty of a soldier.
He is so different, just like Galadia, he is an alien from the elves, but the differences are completely opposite.
Griffith suddenly felt that he looked familiar. He recalled it repeatedly.
He is the elf general in Galadia's painting, the leader who fights on the front line with the soldiers, the embodiment of wisdom and the natural enemy of evil, the real elf!
Griffith suddenly felt bad.
Galadia smiled and greeted him: "Good evening, Lord Stanislas Paulus, why are you free to return to Canaan today?"
"There is some movement from the orcs in the north. It may be that the maggots on the trees are not enough," Stannis replied with a slight smile, as if he was saying that a swarm of ants appeared at home, "We will disperse them under the leadership of the Archbishop."
After saying this, he nodded, glanced at the would-be knight, and left.
Before Griffith could ask questions, Galadia took the initiative to introduce him:
"He is Stannis Paulus, the Shield of Canaan, the new generation commander of the army, the guardian of the land favored by the gods."
After a moment of pause, she added hesitantly: "There are rumors that the family may want me to marry him."
Griffith's face turned green.
"But, I won't agree to it, no!" Galadia hurriedly explained, "He is old and old-fashioned. After marriage, he will definitely not care about anything except having children as soon as possible. I will never agree to it.
"Rumors are just rumors,
"Besides him, there are a bunch of other people who are waiting for my coming-of-age ceremony."
These words did not comfort Griffith at all, but made him feel even worse. Could it be that this was the meaning of the look just now? Even though the daughter of a well-born family is favored by millions, they did not say anything about the marriage.
Calculated.
Galadia also felt that what she said was unreliable, and Griffith's unhappy thoughts were almost written on his face.
"Follow me!" While no one was paying attention, Galadia bit her lower lip and suddenly pulled Griffith and slipped out of the hall and ran into the garden.
…
The fragrant fragrance of flowers drove away the solemn atmosphere. The elf led the prospective knight through the sparkling lake shore and trestle, and came to a quiet island in the middle of the lake near the temple.
There is a pure white pavilion there, connected to the shore of the lake through a trestle, and the stars seem to pay special attention to it, spreading its grace without reservation.
There were six candles on the ground of the pavilion, which were automatically lit when Galadia came nearby, and the air was filled with a particularly beautiful atmosphere.
The sober cool breeze and the fragrance of flowers seem to indicate that something good is about to happen.
"I will run away!" Galadia said very firmly, "Even if I abandon everything now, I will choose my own life. Moreover, I have another way to delay the arrival of all this!"
Griffith, who was still a little unhappy, suddenly became alert.
He felt that he was being watched tenderly by some kind of supreme being, and his heart was filled with indescribable joy and joy, as if something happy was about to happen soon.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, isn't it, so sudden?!
Galadia grabbed his hand and put it on her chest, so that he could feel the excitement:
"Griffith, I have decided,
"Please ask Silver Moon and the stars to witness our contract,"
"Will you be my guardian knight?"
What! A contract, a contract under the gaze of the gods! Griffith almost fainted and fell to the ground.
No--!
The girl's face was full of tenderness and expectation, she raised her head and said:
"As long as you sign a guardianship contract, you can freely enter and leave Canaan, hold the title of Canaanite Knight, become a real knight and a formal citizen of Canaan, and you can even live here without having to worry about Bijelan's conspiracy and danger.
"We will both improve each other, all attributes will be enhanced to a certain extent, self-healing and willpower will be stronger. It sounds great! We can go to other colonies together, go on adventures together, go to Beyeland, wherever you go!
With the guardian knight witnessing and protecting me from the goddess, I can do what I want, so no one can force me!
"The disadvantage is that the contract is exclusive, and you can't make it with anyone else. However, you probably won't make a contract with anyone else. Being a guardian knight is great! I worked hard to get the goddess's permission.
