Griffith usually stores 2 blood runes and 4 frost runes. Counting the runes that can be generated immediately by using his current mental power in 15 seconds, the reserved runes allow him to continuously use a combination of two to three frost spells and one blood spell to deal with most situations. Compared with regular mage, his advantage is that there is no common cooling time between different spells unfolded through runes, and he can throw three different spells at once. Even high-level mages must use items and scrolls to achieve such rapid and continuous spell casting.
In addition, Griffith now possesses the physical and mental strength of a Sequence 8 Barrier Breaker, and has a super self-healing ability close to that of a vampire baron; his own characteristics can also provide good magic resistance; at critical moments in the battle, he You can also use the extraordinary ability "Liquidation" to carry out a fierce counterattack. The corrupted feather fencing sword stored in the scabbard at the waist is extremely sharp and carries shadow attribute magic damage. The Vanguard Shield is strong and tough, making it a good armor.
Taken together, Griffith's fighting style is mainly tenacity and persistence, and he can also burst out unexpectedly powerful damage in a short period of time.
If a mage or demon hunter of the same sequence 8 suddenly encounters an enemy with high resistance, high protection and lethality like Griffith, it will undoubtedly be very dangerous.
Griffith put on his double armor and walked out of the room, walking along the corridor outside the first-class cabin to the nearby cabin.
The Equinox has a rare four-story cabin on the main deck, exclusively for first-class passengers. The comfort and view are unmatched by traditional cabins.
Because it was paid for by the Larmore family, Griffith's cabin was a very good first-class cabin. Although it was not comparable to the more advanced luxury cabins that spanned the upper and lower floors, it was still comfortable enough. The reason for this arrangement is that potential enemies, cultists, are almost never poor. They need comfortable and spacious accommodation to carry out their evil plans, and will not live in second-class cabins at the risk of black magic items being stolen by predators.
If possible, Griffith should obviously investigate and monitor all first-class and first-class passengers. However, constraints of manpower and social etiquette made it difficult for him to conduct a full investigation in a short time, so he could only start from the nearest neighbor. His cabin is 309, and next door are the deck stairs and room 307. There lived a young couple there, and Griffith only met them when he boarded the ship.
After knocking on the door several times, Griffith found that there was no movement in the room. After briefly thinking about it and realizing that there was no need to break in, he walked to room 308 opposite and knocked on the door.
This is a two-story suite, superior to Griffith's room. What greeted him when he opened the door was a serious-looking middle-aged man. He wore a crisp dark coat, his mouth was turned down, and he looked serious, as if someone else had eaten his bread.
"Hello, I am Griffith Brandon, a trainee knight in room 309." Griffith nodded to the middle-aged man who opened the door. "A sea snake just crawled into my room. I wanted to come and see if you are okay." Let’s do it.”
"This is the room of Milovan Neville, the member of the Arcane Council. I am his deacon," the middle-aged man who opened the door said in a monotonous and pale tone, "The member is not here now, please come back, sir."
"Boom!" The hatch slammed shut in front of Griffith.
"It seems that I am not attractive enough and not very popular." Griffith muttered in his heart and walked away. Griffith, the passenger in room 306, had no memory of seeing him before, and there was no reply after knocking on the door.
It has been more than half a day since the Equinox left port, and it will be dinner in a little while. Griffith, who was still unable to confirm the existence of a conspiracy, walked along the corridor towards the restaurant, preparing to eat before talking.
The ship's restaurants are divided according to cabin class, and the quality of the food varies accordingly.
At dinner on his first day, Griffith was able to enjoy a meal prepared for a first-class traveler like himself. First is the cold and appetizing liqueur and fresh oysters. If the guests are not used to eating them raw, the oysters can also be made into minced garlic or grilled with butter according to the guests' needs. Next is a choice of seafood soup or cream of mushroom soup, followed by two dishes: pan-fried salmon or salmon belly sashimi, as well as caviar and tender foie gras.
It's so luxurious... Griffith took a guilty sip of the light blue liqueur, and his appetite immediately became strong.
The main course is lobster and M5 steak. Staple foods include crystal-clear rice from the south and fried beef tongue. All the fresh vegetables served with the meal are purchased fresh on the day of departure.
This is a good mission! Griffith, who recalled the hard days on the battlefield, ate his food with great enthusiasm, finishing the appetizer and main course in the blink of an eye. The waiters then brought him small portions of apple pie and tiramisu cake.
What a delicious meal! Compared with the time just after the war, it was a huge difference.
But this is easy to understand. The southern part of the Eastern Province is mountainous and the coastline was blocked during the war. The towns there are also responsible for providing staple food, horses, clothing and various supplies to the front line. Although the legion will also pay them, rising prices and resource constraints are inevitable.
Now that there is peace, the food in the big cities on the trade line must be much better than that in Izmir.
During the meal, a female singer performed beautiful songs for the guests in the first-class dining room. For a small fee, they could also order songs.
Sitting not far from Griffith was a fat, wealthy man. The waiter called him "His Excellency Salian Quarksall." He was said to be a wealthy businessman on the West Coast. He was so moved by the singing that he burst into tears, and he graciously asked the waiter to bring him flowers and red wine.
"Mr. Griffith, are you satisfied with tonight's meal?" A restaurant waiter came over and asked Griffith diligently about his thoughts on the food. "In addition, the purser you are looking for...we don't have one." Know where he went."
In order to remind the cruise ship and other passengers to pay attention to safety, Griffith asked the flight attendant to find a purser for him before dining, but this did not seem to be successful.
"I don't know where you went?" Griffith couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "He couldn't have fallen into the sea, right?"
"Yes, unfortunately, he has been missing for a while. The captain has arranged for the crew to check everywhere. I hope he did not fall into the sea."
It is impossible to fall into the sea... There are more than 800 passengers and 200 sailors on this seven-masted giant sailboat. There are people walking around on the deck all the time. If someone falls into the sea, it is impossible not to be noticed. Griffith nodded, took out some tips and handed them to the foreman: "Can you please help me ask the guests in room 307. If they are free, the trainee knights of the Larmore family would like to visit them."
"Okay, Mr. Brandon." The foreman nodded and left.
Griffiths sipped his after-dinner drink slowly, figuring out where to search. In this mission, he will be assisted by friendly forces, and he must find a way to join them as soon as possible.
At this moment, the head waiter who had just walked away returned to the table.
"Is there an answer so soon?"
"It's like this. The passengers in Room 307 are Mr. Eck and Miss Milia," the restaurant maitre d'oeuvre said. "The cabin attendant told me that Mr. Eck disappeared before dinner. At first, his fiancee, Miss Milia, thought he was I was playing cards, but later I found out that I couldn’t get in touch with him, and now I’m looking for him everywhere anxiously.”
"Well~ Are the crew assisting in the search?" Griffith quickly drank the drink in the cup.
"Yes, the ship's safety director and cabin foreman are leading people to investigate in cabin 307."
"Then, I'll go there too, the dinner is great!"
…
Many people gathered outside room 307. Griffith passed through the crowd and came to the cabin door, where he found Miss Milia, the security director and the cabin foreman standing in the spacious cabin. There were four waiters gathered outside the door, and several tourists were watching, including even a congressman and deacon whom they had just met.
"What happened inside?" Griffith came to the door and asked the waiter guarding the door.
"No, I'm not sure," the waiter shook his head blankly, "This is the room of Mr. Eck and Miss Milia. No one can enter without the permission of the security director."
"Miss Milia fainted! Call the doctor quickly!" the security director in the cabin suddenly shouted, followed by the sound of panicking.
"I am an extraordinary person and I am performing official duties. Let me in." Griffith immediately said to the waiter, and at the same time shouted to the suite, "Leave him alone. Don't help the fainted person up yet."
The security director and foreman who were about to help Miss Milia were stunned for a moment. The waiter guarding the door gave in under Griffith's firm eyes and allowed him to enter the room.
"I'm from the Eastern Legion and have first aid experience. I'll handle it until the doctor on duty comes here." Griffith quickly rushed into the cabin and took over helping Miss Milia.
The lady lying on the floor was dressed very luxuriously and beautifully. Even though she fainted and looked pale, Griffith felt that her appearance was very charming and her figure was graceful and graceful. Griffith quickly observed Miss Milia's breathing and immediately loosened her tight belt.
"Hmm~ I'm a little dizzy." Miss Milia quickly calmed down and said softly.
"Are you usually hypoglycemic or controlling your diet?" Griffith asked.
"Kind of."
"Please pour a glass of warm water and add some sugar," Griffith said to the cabin steward. "Miss Milia is fine."
While the foreman was busy, Griffith quickly observed.
On the sofa in the living room of the luxury cabin, men's coats, vests, shirts, trousers and a pair of shoes are spread diagonally in a very conspicuous position. This formal suit is slightly twisted and spread on the sofa, as if a person is lying there lazily. However, the tie is tied tightly to the collar of the shirt, and the cuff pins, buttons, ribbons and belt are perfectly placed. On the sofa and on the floor next to his trousers were his shiny leather shoes. A pair of socks hangs down on the uppers of the shoes.
It all looks like a horrifying prank.
All the clothes, shoes and socks were placed there in layers, like matryoshka dolls, but the owners of the clothes disappeared like shedding skin.
