Griffith once suspected that the people of Odessa would silence all witnesses in order to cover up others' eyes. However, the situation at the scene was very different from what he imagined. Not only did the people of Odessa not object to Dantès and Haidee's stay, they even behaved
It was a bit happy. They arranged a small tent for the couple in trouble in the camp which was not spacious, and also brought tea and biscuits.
People, including Professor Lafayette, were restrained and attentive. They did arrange for manpower to conduct surveillance, but it was done in a magnanimous and decent manner. The investigator who was resting in the camp took the initiative to chat with the two and talked about the South.
City and culture. It’s more like timely relief and relaxation than surveillance.
This may be due to Alandel's makeup and charm. Her extraordinary charm and the effect of the two sealed items are astonishing. However, Griffith also has a feeling that from the beginning, the wizards of Odessa
I don’t think this is an invisible thing that needs to be concealed. Many people in the camp team headed by Professor Lafayette have experienced previous fierce battles, but their professionalism and investment have not been affected at all.
The expressions of wizards and extraordinary people were solemn, and their cheeks were a little pale due to excitement. This is an expression that people often see when they are dedicating themselves to a great cause in their hearts.
Neferty also felt this strange change. She was very curious and wanted to talk to Miss Haidee several times, but whenever she approached Mr. Dantès, she would have an irresistible tremor from the bottom of her heart.
.
…
Year, month, day and night.
The camp team has set up a small echo hub to keep in touch with the team in front. Professor Lafayette is happy to announce that the progress is going as planned. In another hour, the investigation team will send their latest news
progress.
The investigators in Odessa prepared a simple dinner and invited Mr. and Mrs. Dantès to dine together.
The members of the camp team include Professor Lafayette, Neferty, Paladin Milban, Lady Wendy, Miss Willow, Priest Bolton, and Archaeologist Ben-Hur.
Investigator Miss Wendy has long blond hair and a cold expression. Judging from her accessories and equipment, she is good at black magic and summoning spells. She seems to be immersed in her own world, touching the pendant box on her collar with her hand from time to time.
Griffith accidentally saw her opening a pendant box, and inside was a portrait of a little girl who looked similar to herself.
Investigator Miss Willow is a witch who specializes in fire spells. She wears a red robe and has a charming figure, but her eyes are strange. Her attitude is very polite, but she is always looking at Griffith and Alandai repeatedly.
Then, while fiddling with the wand in your hand, lighting it up and then extinguishing it.
Priest Bolton is very serious. Perhaps because most of the clergy have been injured or killed in previous battles, he is one of the few members who is qualified for treatment and exorcism. But judging from the heavy armor and war hammer he is equipped with, he is very serious.
See, his original position was as a vanguard with Paladin Milban.
The most active member of the entire team is the archaeologist Ben-Hur, a tall and thin man with a dignified and serious appearance, and a somewhat restrained and self-disciplined temperament reserved for older aristocrats. He carries a large bag with him to dig.
Equipment, I am both afraid and looking forward to exploring deep into the ruins.
These members are the main strength of the team, and almost all of them are senior extraordinary people or extraordinary people in the sequence. However, they have no assistants or servants.
The entire team was obviously scholars and professionals who were not good at cooking, so dinner and camp could only be dealt with hastily. The staple food for dinner was biscuits and hard bread, and the main course was bread crabs, shells and chaos langoustines caught from the sea.
Shrimps are simply boiled with ginger and wine before being served. A lot of seafood is placed casually on the stone slab, still steaming. If you break open the shells with your hands, you will get an alluring aroma with a hint of the smell of the sea.
The plump meat and crab roe and crab paste spurt out, making your fingers twitch.
Amazingly large mackerel and grouper are stuck on local hardwood branches and grilled by the campfire until golden brown on both sides.
"Miss Haidee, Mr. Dantès, come and try this, please don't be polite!" Knight Milban, who is the security director of the camp, took out the wine bottle from his waist, poured some on the sizzling grilled fish, and grabbed it.
I chewed the fattest one without caring about burning my mouth, "It tastes more delicious this way."
"Knight, there are minors here," Professor Lafayette glanced at Neferty and hurriedly stopped him, "No drinking."
"No, no, no, professor, that's not the case~" Knight Milban shook the bottle, "First of all, Miss Kwai Mansha is an adult; secondly, wine used in cooking is one of the seasonings and is not prohibited."
He raised the flask to his mouth and took a few sips. "Uh-huh, this, this is considered drinking! This is what field investigation is all about. What happened to the atmosphere before? It was too solemn."
!A bite from M. Dantès!”
Griffith thanked the paladin, took the wine bottle and shook it. He felt that there was not much left, so he just took a sip and returned it.
The dark clouds in the sky are like a colony of ants emerging from the nest, pressing in from all sides, trying to swallow up the last sunlight.
Griffith and Alandel sat huddled on a big rock. He broke open a crab and handed it over. Suddenly thinking that something might be wrong, he leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"Can you eat crabs?"
"Why not?" Alandel took the crab leg and chewed it doubtfully, raising her eyebrows at him.
Griffith thought of the long fish tail rolling in the waves, and many taboo thoughts came to his mind, and he whispered, "Aren't they the same kind?"
Alandel seemed to bounce on the spot. She turned around, rested her delicate chin on Griffith's shoulder, and covered his ears with her slender hands. Her warm breath was as fragrant as orchid, and her delicate red lips were like
Bite your earlobe gently.
"You are the same kind as a crab."
…
Why don't you just sit on her lap! Neferti suddenly lost her appetite and stared at Miss Haidee. The newlyweds with unknown origins were huddled together a few steps away from her, biting their ears as if no one else was watching.
She was about to find an excuse to remind her that this was not her bedroom. The sea breeze suddenly became fierce, and among the surging black clouds and shadows, bright firelight flashed, and an object like a meteor was passing over the rolling sea.
, flying towards this side.
Griffith hurriedly stood in front of Alandel. He felt that beyond this meteor-like trajectory, an indescribable desolate atmosphere also emerged from the interior of the island, spreading outward with an alarming momentum.
Most of the people present turned their attention to the meteor, but Professor Lafayette looked towards the depths of the island in surprise. He saw the light falling to the ground, and among the splashing firelight, a strong and tall figure slowly stood up.
He held a spear surrounded by flames, and slapped the spear in his hand on the ground between the light and shadow. The blooming light pierced the darkness like a spear. There was a terrifying scream, and the lingering weird atmosphere shrank back.
"Diaz, the leader of light and shadow, would like to say hello to all ladies and gentlemen," the guest who appeared like a falling star greeted everyone present in a decent manner, "There may be a storm tonight. Are things going well?"
This man is handsome, tall and sexy. However, his eyes are listless and seem to be uninterested in anything. They are like the eyes of an old man, which look particularly depressed against the backdrop of his extraordinary appearance.
Griffith's eyes narrowed subconsciously. He remembered this character, Odessa's extraordinary demon hunter, Diaz, the Blade of Light and Shadow. He should have been present during the battle in Odessa, but he did not join the battle, otherwise
It will be a great restraint for myself as a war knight.
Why is he here? Some extraordinary demon hunters have abilities or items similar to flying, but the flying distance is limited. If they had not been deployed nearby, Diaz would not have come to such a remote sea at this time.
"You finally came."
Professor Lafayette and others stood up to welcome him, "Why did you arrive now? If you could have arrived earlier, Sir Prunus wouldn't have..."
"Oh~" The extraordinary demon hunter didn't seem to have any regrets, "I got lost on the journey of life."
Diaz's eyes looked listless, slowly scanning the people in front of him. Finally, he focused on Griffith and Alandel.
Knight Milban immediately introduced him, "This is Mademoiselle Haidee, the only daughter of the distinguished Baron de Valando of Neopolis, and her husband, the respectable gentleman M. Dantès, who is..."
The extraordinary demon hunter waved his hand without interest, saying that he didn't understand anything. "Is there any news from the investigation team? I sensed a dangerous atmosphere on the way here." -
