Blood tax

Chapter 353 Mr. Dantès and Miss Haidee who happened to appear

To the east of Tranquility Sea, there is a hundred-mile-long fissure trench between the Sevasto region and the eastern continent.Although it is remote, it is not without people.Fishing fleets and survey teams who ventured to the Chaos Sea appeared in an endless stream on the side of the Tranquility Sea, gradually attracting merchants, taverns, and postmen, forming a town-sized gathering place in a relatively safe location.

The trench seems to be split by a god holding a sword. The bottomless crack is flanked by cliffs standing thousands of feet high, stretching straight to the desolate distance.The terrain of tens of miles north and south of the trench is uplifted sharply.The bases of the black mountains are covered with birches and ancient oaks, and the slopes are covered with pine and fir trees.The snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all the year round, sometimes showing a golden red light under the light of dusk, just like the palace of the legendary gods.The continuous snow peaks are almost insurmountable to non-flying creatures, and the torrents of snowmelt rush down the narrow cracks in the cliffs and meet the waves and salt waves head-on.

This is the edge of the world, and the closer it is to the Chaos Sea, the more mysterious it becomes.

The end of the rift is the Reef Sea, a small part of the vast Chaos Sea, which is fan-shaped in the west and east.To the east of the long, sloping coast and sandy beaches stretching north and south is a dangerous sea with countless reefs and islands.The broken landform looks like torn wreckage, scattered in the endless sea.

Griffith still knows these geographical knowledge.The eastern battlefield he fought on was in the southern continent of the Chaos Sea, and he could return to the bloody and desolate battlefield after crossing the snow-capped mountains in the south.Thinking of this, he not only shuddered from the depths of his soul.

If you leave the dangerous reef sea and go north, it is said that you can reach the extremely distant ice sheet and frozen land.There are many ancient and mysterious ethnic groups living in seclusion.They guard the passage to the east, but are rarely seen.

"This rift is the only entrance and exit between the Sea of ​​Tranquility and the Sea of ​​Chaos. It is said that under the rugged sea surface of the reef, there is a relic that we know little about," Arundel regained some strength, and hid behind a tree to get soaked. According to him, a powerful ally has made a prophecy that exploring with you will help to resist my fate. Otherwise I just threw you into the sea, hum!"

Ok……

This is a lot of information.Griffith noticed that Alandelle was holding a similarly convicted flintlock, so he must have a close relationship with Roland.But who is a powerful ally?
"Who is this ally?"

"Roland didn't say that," Arendelle shook her head. "He's been a riddle for a while. But, in the near future, we'll know who he is?"

"So, even you who are good at traveling in the ocean don't know what's hidden in the ocean?" Griffith glanced at Alandelle's flawless back, and hurriedly looked away.The long fish tail has disappeared, and it has turned back into straight legs.

"Yes, there is an amazing aura entrenched in the darkness of the Primal Chaos Sea, its mystery is unfathomable.

"The sea water there is dangerous. Some people have seen huge tentacles raging wildly, with enough power to crush all reefs and ships. They will appear suddenly, and the density is frightening. My people call the trench to the west 'the abyss'. Throat', coming to this sea area is like sending yourself into the stomach of a monster. In the past thousand years, many adventurers have tried to explore many times. The luckiest survivors kept silent, and the others lost their minds , muttering vague and broken messages all day long."

At this time, a dangerous inspiration suddenly touched Griffith and grabbed his neck along the back.

He is the best armored cavalryman, a famous knight, even if he is in the middle of hundreds of enemies, he will not be afraid of panic.However, at this moment, Griffith felt the fear of bone erosion. There was a smelly, damp and muddy evil surging under his feet, sending the coldness like the north wind upward.

"Look over there!" Arandale was the first to notice the abnormality. She hurried out with her undressed clothes and pointed to the distant coast.

An astonishing scene appeared before his eyes.

The ghost ship moored on the shore actually opened a terrifying mouth.Odessa wizards who should have fled inland appeared here.There were not many of them, but Professor Lafayette, Professor Julian, and Knight Patolion were all there, and there were a few heavily armed people who hadn't seen them before.

They surrounded the calm and calm Naira, and dragged the terrified and reluctant Neferti out of the darkness.Then, the ghost ship set sail slowly, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Why are they here?" Griffith was extremely shocked.It is not without magic and abilities that can carry out space teleportation, but the conditions for deployment and use are extremely harsh, and only Sequence 7 spellcasters and transcendents can be targeted.

"It is very likely that there are hidden relics of the breath left by the outer gods here," Arendelle said in a low voice. "It is not surprising that the sealed objects of the gods have space capabilities. The Odessa people should have arrived here through the power of this ghost ship." .”

Griffith couldn't help hesitating.

He has a lot of powerful equipment that he didn't bring with him.Even with the support of two swords and two magic rings, he still has considerable combat power.However, the face-to-face enemy is a powerful team led by several senior extraordinary people, and there are also some people who have not appeared in the previous intelligence. If you are not careful, you will encounter fatal danger.

Just as he was thinking about how to observe from a distance without being discovered.Alandelle patted him on the head suddenly: "Knight, let me make up for you."

"Makeup? Now? Why?!"

"We want to get close to them and explore the ruins with them!" Arandale enthusiastically made an astonishing suggestion, "Don't be nervous, I have relevant plans when I take you away from the Brun Hill, my family I am in charge of a powerful sealed item that has been passed down, which can guarantee the silent infiltration, leave it to me!"

Emmm...

Griffith looked at the undressed girl and became deeply suspicious.

"Alandelle."

"What, are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, just to make sure, the infiltration you mentioned is really an infiltration that cannot be seen through, right?" Griffith clapped the saber in his hand, "It's definitely not the kind of swaggering walk over, the first time It's the kind of infiltration that gets spotted and mobilizes, chopping all enemies to the ground."

Arundel opened her eyes and looked at Griffith for a while, and even stood on tiptoe, covered herself with clothes with one hand, and touched his forehead with the other: "I don't think normal people can do this kind of thing."

……

It is indeed unacceptable to evacuate like this.Nara, Neferti, and the secrets of the life-woven strands of the Void are close at hand.The existence of evil has stretched out its tentacles to this world, and its coming again is a matter of time.Griffith is destined to confront them again. If he does not want to repeat the previous tragedy, he must collect as much information as possible to prepare for future battles.

Griffith nodded, agreeing that Alandelle would preside over the next action.

Miss Captain first took out the water bottle she carried with her and gave Griffith a small amount of tea with a strange taste, then she took out the spell-casting materials and cosmetic bag she carried with her, and dressed up the knight.

Her makeup bag is very strange, it is a small shell, and the complicated and delicate makeup is distinguished by each grid.

Griffith stood quietly and let Alandelle dress up, with a strange and indescribable feeling.Sonia once groomed him, and the touch left by her slender fingers made people itch.

However, Miss Captain's skills are different.Griffith clearly felt that his skin was wrinkled, and his nose was pointed and long.His eyes, ears and lips seem to be growing.

This strange feeling lasted for about a quarter of an hour.

"Okay, please express your thoughts!" Panting, Alandelle used magic to condense a small mirror, "It is very precious and rare material boiled and refined. These are the effects of my favorite sealed item 'Sweet Foundation' .The effect of changing the appearance can last for 12 hours."

"It's only been 12 hours?" Griffith raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it going to be a while?"

"Of course, if changing the appearance is so easy to obtain, there will be no ugly people in this world. We can just touch up the makeup when the time comes."

Griffith was surprised to find that he had become a man about 38 to 40 years old. His face was as pale as if he had just escaped from a dark grave, but he was so beautiful that the most picky Countess of Byerland could see him. The eyes are shining and strong, as if penetrating; the bridge of the nose is straight, almost level with the forehead, which is the nose of impeccable southern aesthetics.

After dressing up her companions, Arendelle chanted a spell, transforming her uniform into an unrecognizable appearance like the fairy in the story.

She didn't change her appearance, but after changing clothes, grooming and hairstyle, she was a different person.She was wearing a pair of silk trousers embroidered with pink roses on a white background, revealing a pair of small and exquisite feet. If these two feet were not playing with the little slippers inlaid with gold pearls, they might be mistaken for being carved out of marble. She wears a blue and white striped blouse that exposes her shoulders, the cuffs are short to the elbow, trimmed with silver thread, and pearls are used as buttons, boldly making the heart beat faster; outside the blouse is a vest, with a front The heart-shaped cutout reveals the ivory-like neck and the upper part of the breast, and the lower end is locked with three diamond buttons.A thin belt is tied around the slender waist.

She turned around in circles and was satisfied with her outfit, so she tied up her thick black long straight hair casually and draped it on her smooth left shoulder.

"New wives all have this hairstyle! It will be more convenient when serving their husbands~" Alandelle said so, leaning forward and holding Griffith's arm, pinching her face with a scared expression, "No one I recognize you. From now on, you are Mr. Dantès, a wealthy businessman in the southern region. He was shipwrecked on his honeymoon with his new wife, Miss Haidee, who is 20 years younger than himself. With the help of his clever and magical wife Next, we escaped from the most dangerous sea area, but we lost all our servants and luggage, and urgently need help."

She raised her chin at Griffith with a look of coming to praise me:

"I'm Haidee~
"The daughter of Baron Ballandot. Don't worry, this is an identity controlled by my family. No one can see the problem. Leave the communication with them to me later!"

Griffith looked at the captain in amazement.

She was an extraordinary beauty, a combination of exquisite features and remarkable grace, impeccable elegance, which any man would never forget.The beauty on that face comes from the warm and spring-like south, with big, black and watery eyes, a lovely tip of nose, red lips like coral, and white teeth like pearls, it is natural to compare her with just now. Combined by the image of a teenage girl becoming a newlywed wife.

"Are you sure I won't be found out?" Griffith still didn't quite understand, "How come a couple of newlyweds who don't seem to be easy to meet in this wilderness won't arouse suspicion?"

"The other Sealed Artifact I carry will strengthen their identification with us." Arendelle put a string of pearl necklaces on her swan-like neck, "The golden pearls of the Broken Sea will assist us with imperceptible hints. As long as there is no malice—we just want to explore with them and leave safely, there is really no malice—they will believe our words under the influence of hints. Don’t underestimate the power of the sealed items of the dream path.”

Changing his appearance and imposing hints, it sounds good... Griffith thought about it, but still felt uneasy.

If the lie is discovered, he will immediately be besieged by a large group of Odessa transcendents and monsters who are eager to die together.Leaving aside his own safety, Arendelle would definitely be implicated and killed.

"Sounds good, but, just relying on the sealed item to make them believe in such a bizarre experience, I still feel..."

"Hmph, you underestimate me. Makeup is a girl's weapon! You can question my technique, after all, in such a short preparation time, sealed items are limited," the girl said confidently, "but you can't Question my understanding of the art of makeup!"

"How do you say that?"

"Danttes Dantès~" Arendelle had already begun to enter into the role setting, "Do you know why the Tybern knights are invincible in the arena?"

"Of course it's because he is Tyberion, the knight with the best riding and spear skills in the world." Griffith replied without thinking.

"That's not it~" the girl shook her head, "It's because he is wearing that gleaming armor of flowers. Whether the enemy or friend's attention is focused on that armor, that dangerous lance, who cares!"
