"Aren't you going to let us have a meal?" Harandil asked before saying goodbye.
"Not today. When we have time later, we will invite the girls to get together." Roland pointed to the timer on the wall. "There will be a curfew later, and tonight will not be peaceful. If you want to live in
Here, you can go to the reception desk downstairs and report my name. It seems that the room I left for Canaan's investors is no longer needed."
Griffith said goodbye to his friends, went to the hotel lobby alone, and asked for a room to rest.
The Chosen One emblems he captured have all been handed over to Galadia, and his identity will not be revealed in the location announcement every six hours. According to the plan, he will immediately join Galadia once a battle occurs.
Disguise yourself as Laura and fight with her.
To this end, Griffith will act alone tonight and for the next few nights.
After the interview with Roland, he had some new ideas
Those who participated in the Festival of the Chosen are all well-known people. After the melee on the first night, the remaining people should have a general understanding of the strength of others, and will be more careful, and will probably not take risks.
Attack alone; a more reasonable strategy is to rely on your own family and the forces behind you to launch a layout, and use the general trend to launch a massive offensive to crush the enemy.
This is very reasonable and coincides with what Roland said is about to happen.
The question is, what kind of offensive will follow?
When Griffith faces a few extraordinary beings, he can still rely on his own characteristics to gain an advantage, but once the enemy's power is put into operation, his advantage will be eliminated.
He walked around the living room a few times, watching the guests leaving, and then found a waiter who knew Tina: "Where is Tina?"
This waiter was just a boy of thirteen or fourteen, with a handsome appearance, but not shy at this age. He looked at the knight boldly: "Miss Tina is not here now, Sir Knight, but I can find her for you within an hour."
Come."
It's getting late, there is still a curfew tonight, and citizens are not allowed to travel after ten o'clock. If it is inconvenient for Tina to go back, she can sleep in my room. Anyway, I have to sneak out after midnight... Griffith thought for a while and felt
This is a good idea.
"Send her to come to me in my chamber," said Griffith, tossing a few silver coins to the boy, "the chamber of the Chevalier Griffith de Ravenel."
"Yes, Sir Knight," the boy immediately replied respectfully, "Do you need anything else? I can bring you wine, midnight snacks, costumes and props."
What's all this? I'm not going to party all night long, so what do I need all of this for? Griffith waved his hand and sent the boy away.
…
Soon, the tavern arranged a room for Griffith. The room was very spacious and elegantly decorated, comparable to the suites provided by the Earl's Mansion. Griffith, who was destined to be very busy tonight, took down his double swords.
Put it on hand, lean on the sofa and fall asleep immediately.
All kinds of strange thoughts and what Roland just said were entangled in Griffith's dream. He had a feeling that he was falling into a dangerous quagmire little by little. The Sacrifice of the Chosen One would drag him and Galadia into something unprecedented.
Go into the mysterious abyss of madness, despair and death.
The strange feeling that Griffith had experienced during Krista's unfortunate experience came back. The vague conspiracies and plans surrounded him like a cobweb.
Many things seem to be related, and there are people behind the scenes who are coordinating and calculating everything.
Is it too late to retreat now? Galadia must attend the memorial ceremony. This is her responsibility. The tribesmen will push her forward. However, if I kidnap her and take her to a remote border,
Only we can avoid the next danger?
I don't know how long it took, but there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
Griffith responded and sat up from the sofa. Then, he saw two short men walking in one after another. They had their heads lowered, wearing thick cloaks and thick scarves.
Show cautious eyes.
"Stand there and take off your cloak and coat!"
Griffith was surprised when he saw that the person who came was not Tina, and gave a stern order.
The two of them were obviously stunned for a moment. When they saw Griffith's face clearly, the person standing in front let out a female scream.
"It's you!"
Griffith vaguely felt that the voice sounded familiar. He was already on high alert, and felt some hostility from the other party, so he instinctively raised his leg and kicked forward.
"Boom!"
Before her companions could figure out what was going on, they saw a figure flying backwards from her along the route into the house, hitting the wall opposite the corridor with a loud noise, and was covered by a raised cloak.
His face fell to the floor.
Assassin? Not like... Griffith became curious. He took a step forward and ripped off the other man's cloak with a wave of his left hand.
She's also a girl, and her face looks a bit familiar.
She was very thin, only thirteen or fourteen years old at most. Her shoulder-length red hair and body were shaking as if she had malaria.
"Who are you?" A flash of lightning flashed in Griffith's heart, and it came out from his cold eyes.
Sweeped away by this sharp edge, the little girl in front of her trembled like chaff and knelt on the ground. She grabbed the buttons of her clothes and took them off. She was trembling and begging for forgiveness in a vague voice.
This looks like Lavana... Griffith thought about it. When he just returned to Beyeland from the front line, he encountered an attack. The Cook gang hiding in the sewers was killed by him and Shutoral.
There was a bloodbath among his companions, and it was during this incident that Minos obtained the bone ring.
According to Eastern customs, most of the gangsters encountered during the crackdown were wiped on the neck, until Ophelia stopped everyone. The 12-year-old girl Lavana could not see the appearance of a girl at that time, and almost
He also lay among the corpses of his companions.
After that, based on the information provided by Brother Sauron, the secretary of the Earl's Palace, Griffith knew that Lavana, who was lucky enough to survive, was being monitored by the Bureau of Investigation, trying to find the truth about the "Incredible House of Wonders" incident.
A year and a half has passed since this incident, so why is it coming back to me now? So, who is the other guy?
Griffith quickly came to the door, a look that scared the panicked neighbor next door back into the room, then grabbed the girl who had just been kicked to the ground and was twitching and dragged her into the room, and took off her cloak and coat.
The girl who dared to attack was not tall but quite curvy, and her face covered by her messy ponytail was quite eye-catching. She curled up in pain, with cold sweat dripping from her pale face.
Well, I also look familiar to this person, definitely not the kind of person who feels familiar when seeing a good-looking girl... Griffith leaned down and pulled open the girl's coat to check if she had any hidden weapons.
The weapon was not found, but a trace of an arrow wound was found on the wheat-colored, strong and round shoulder.
Now, Griffith completely remembered.
This is another acquaintance, the boxer Miss Ulan, a local adventurer who was useless and lost her sanity in the battle in Manisa Village. She suffered a mental breakdown when the zombies attacked her and tried to open the door to let the zombies in, but was killed
Galadia was shot down with an arrow.
This is really a coincidence...
Griffith threw his coat back to the sleeping Ulan and sat down on the bed angrily.
"Who asked you to come?"
"It's Drizzt, the waiter you sent to find Sister Tina," Lahana answered immediately as if she was whipped by a whip, "He said that a knight was looking for Sister Tina, but for a while
We can't find her, so we need to replace her."
"..."
No wonder he asked me if I wanted some clothes or something... It turned out that I had a misunderstanding. Wait, Tina? How could that happen?
Griffith was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while. After a while, he asked: "Do you know who I am before I come here?"
"I don't know," Lavana shook her head hurriedly, "We can't ask for the guest's name."
Before Griffith could ask any more questions, Ulan was already struggling to argue: "I don't sell it!"
She was gasping for breath and couldn't speak. The kick just now hit her chest. Although Griffith didn't exert any force, a war knight of extraordinary level can even kill a beast with his bare hands, and an ordinary collision may cause serious injuries.
An ordinary person.
No matter in the past or now, this adventurer born in a small place has no ability to resist in front of Griffith.
The originally wavering thoughts disappeared. Griffith couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When he was worried that his pursuit of power and mystery would lead to disaster, he forgot how weak people without power are...
"Huh? What do you do?" Griffith took out a small bottle of potion from his waist and threw it to Miss Boxer, "Drink it, then stand up and talk."
Ulan hurriedly reached out to pick it up. Her hands were shaking so much that she almost dropped the vial on the ground. When she saw the red liquid in the vial, her eyes were so surprised that she could hardly believe it, and she hurriedly stuffed the potion into her clothes.
"This is worth a gold coin!" Lahuaana yelled softly, looked at her companions in surprise, then at the knight, and quickly crawled over from the ground, "Hit me, I can withstand it."
Griffith frowned, stood up, grabbed Ulan's hair, lifted her up like a chicken, then reached out to take out the potion from between her plump breasts, opened the girl's mouth and poured it in.
"Lavana, you go out and wait on the stairs at the corner. Don't walk around until I call you." Griffith threw Ulan into the corner and said to her, "Speak first."
After questioning Ulan and Lahuana respectively, Griffith basically got a grasp of the situation. Ulan followed a group of former adventurers to Beyeland to look for work. Later, he heard that Bremi had a lot of work and moved here.
She worked part-time as a bartender, guarding the goods yard, or looking for cat jobs. Due to lack of money, she and her companions could not afford to eat during this period. Although she insisted not to engage in the flesh trade, the winter was becoming more difficult.
I'm here tonight to try my luck and see if I can jump and find some errand work as a maid.
Lavana's situation was simpler. After she was released on the spot by the Bureau of Investigation, she first wandered on the streets of Beyeland and did some petty theft in the streets and alleys with some small gangs. In winter, petitions came from other provinces.
Many veterans occupied the square of the Senate Chamber, and Lavana and her friends also crowded in the crowd to join in the fun, and even wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Before they could turn their thoughts into action, the "silver tide" of armored cavalry swept away the veterans, dragging in many of Lavana's companions with them. From then on, she became alone again.
Griffith asked them about their experiences and called them back to the room again.
Is this a coincidence? Apparently not.
Lahana has been under the surveillance of the Bureau of Investigation since the Cook gang was destroyed. Ulan's whereabouts are also directly related to Galadia. Since the Canaanite high elves who care about the elf lady have mobilized Beyelan's network to
Griffith sent him to die, so the officials must be very aware of the relationship between Ulan and Griffith.
The two girls did not know each other, and the only intersection was Griffith. The fact that they were able to gather together was probably operated by a department like the Beyeland Investigation Bureau. Even Miss Tina, who they had just met, was also an investigator.
peripheral personnel of the bureau.
Griffith's eyes moved on the two girls, making them feel terrified.
What does the Bureau of Investigation want to do by sending these people to me? Give me a chance to investigate clues? Or give me a chance to erase clues?
This is not a bad thing. Griffith is also in need of information. As his power increases, his stage is gradually shifting from Homemonworth to Byerland, and he needs some local informants.
Lahana boldly glanced at the knight. Based on her experience, it was clear what a man's glances meant.
"Ulan has a good figure, is beautiful, and is pure, but I have more experience, and some nobles also prefer thin and thin ones...
"The knight is hesitating, but he doesn't seem to be choosing the one that suits his taste better. Men can decide this kind of thing in a second, and he is so strong... He must be..."
Before Lavana could take the initiative to flatter him, Griffith had already spoken: "You two and me..."
Sure enough, he really wanted them all! Lahuaanna almost blurted out.
"Come with me to have some dinner and get Drizzt back to me," Griffith said the second half of the sentence, "Next, you will work for me."
"Ah!" Lahuaanna exclaimed in surprise. Wulan breathed a sigh of relief.
