Night falls in the forest.
Besarius, who had been chasing him all day, disappeared. He has excellent hearing and can use strange eyeballs for reconnaissance. He must be lurking in the dark at this time and will attack if there is any movement.
Griffith was sitting on a big tree, and from time to time there were screams in his ears, which quickly subsided. He was familiar with this strange cry, coming from the trolls that had escaped from the underground. They scattered to escape and search for food. Some of them alerted the terrifying fallen elves and must have been used as food supplies.
What is going on with this fallen elf? Where does his ability to combine powerful melee combat and spellcasting come from? Are those strange words because he is crazy, or is there another reason?
Griffith fell into deep thought. He had a guess, but it was so shocking that it even exceeded the most absurd nightmares.
He took off his armor and placed it under a tree to prevent any inadvertent impact from making a crisp sound. He needed to rest a little tonight to regain his strength before starting again at dawn. The investigation of Besarius's background needs to wait until he is out of danger and can be supported by a powerful hero like Knight Roland.
After a day of fighting, he was very hungry and wanted to go to the river to catch a fish to eat, but he didn't dare.
"Human boy, do you want to eat this red apple or this green pear?"
Galadia jumped up to the treetops lightly and sat down next to him, holding several wild fruits in her arms, and even a bunch of small grapes and a few chestnuts.
"You're so awesome!" Griffith praised softly, "You won't let Besarius hear anything, right?"
"No, no, I found these along the way during the day." Miss Elf looked at the fruit in her hand, wiped the larger apple on her clothes and handed it over, "When you eat, you should be grateful and grateful. A heart of self-criticism! If you kill that guy with one shot, wouldn’t we be able to fish in the water now?”
"Review and review. As long as I can get out alive this time, I will definitely practice shooting more."
"Next time, don't go digging for bullets. You should run away and keep distance. If you lose the adamantine bullets, just lose them. It's so dangerous to get close to the enemy!"
"That's that."
The two of them sat on a broad branch, nibbling at the sour wild fruits. The branches are very wide, and the intertwined branches are supported behind the back like pillows, hiding their traces while allowing them to lean on them relaxedly. The summer wind blew the elf's long hair, strands caressing Griffith's face. The branches were obviously very wide, but she stayed close to her companion's shoulders, looking at the sparkling waves of the forest stream under the moonlight.
The gurgling stream melted in her eyes, and the moonlight shone through the light clouds and tree shadows onto her delicate cheeks, leaving a slim silhouette on the branches.
She looked up at the deep blue and quiet night sky, as if she were in the boundless Milky Way. She was even the embodiment of starlight and forest wind, beautiful and unrestrained.
Griffith forgot about fatigue and hunger, and stared at her intently. For a moment, she seemed so distant and desirable, and even worried that she would fly away quietly like the wind. He couldn't help but reach out his hand, trying to catch her.
"What's wrong?" Galadia smoothed her long hair that touched her face, turned around and found Griffith looking at her blankly. She couldn't help but blush a little, and turned sideways again. After all, she still cared a little, turned around again and knocked on his arm: "What's wrong~"
Who knows.
Griffith looked at her doubtfully, then looked at the sky, and murmured:
"You look at me for a while, then look at the sky.
"I feel like you are far away when you look at me, very close to the stars."
The elf was speechless for a moment. She thought about it and understood the words.
"Really? Take a closer look."
She stretched out her hand, grabbed his head and raised it slightly backward, raising her left hand towards the summer night starry sky:
"Look over there, Griffith,
"The three brightest stars are Alpha Lyra, Alpha Aquila and Deneb in the Milky Way. They are the famous Summer Triangle."
Griffith's eyes were lost in the endless starlight. He wanted to turn sideways, but the girl was gently holding his hair.
"From Alpha Lyra to the south, the bright red star, Antares, and a curve composed of more than a dozen stars. Look! This is the representative of the summer constellation, the beautiful Scorpio constellation, with the scorpion's tail immersed in the depths of the Milky Way.
"In the broadest and brightest position of the Milky Way, that is the constellation Sagittarius. The six stars in it are far away from the seven stars in the northwest sky..."
Ah, I can't do it anymore... Griffith looked up, listening to the soft words, completely lost and gave up thinking. The girl leaned on her arm and calmly introduced the summer starry sky that he was not yet familiar with, as if she was showing off a cherished treasure.
The boundless starlight enveloped them as gently as sea water, and the quiet fragrance of the forest and the pointed ears left a distant touch on their cheeks.
In the quiet summer night, dangerous enemies are still lurking in unknown corners. The two people in the tree have forgotten their fatigue and danger.
"Griffith, look, this is my night sky, and it is also yours, no matter the past, present or future. Do you still feel far away?"
"I don't think so," Griffith said in full admiration, "the night is so beautiful."
“Let’s make today an anniversary!”
"Okay~"
"Well, that was a memorable day when we narrowly escaped from the dangerous Besarius and enjoyed the beautiful summer night starry sky together!"
"Take out Besarius," Griffith shook his head slightly, "Besarius, how many stars does he have?"
…
As soon as the morning light appeared in the east, the two set off again.
They tried their best not to make a big noise, quietly left the forest, and headed towards the nearest Qiming Town. Last night's starry sky had already determined Galadia's position. As long as they worked hard for a day, they might be able to get in touch with the Roland Knights there.
When the sun rose high, they had left the edge of the forest and entered the endless meadow.
Galadia looked around with vigilance. There was no figure of Besarius here and the area was vast...
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a huge eyeball suddenly flew across the sky without making any sound. It noticed the two people on the grass and cast its gaze towards them.
Galadia immediately shot an arrow, shattering the eyeball in the air, but this brief moment was enough to reveal their traces.
The two immediately fled in the direction of Qiming Town. However, near noon, the breath of fallen elves appeared behind them again.
Besarius had already locked onto them, running through the forest and grass like thunder, and quickly pursued them in the direction of the two of them! His actions were unabashed and loud, and his twisted and crazy killing intent was approaching every moment.
"Why is he so persistent in chasing us?" Galadia was a little unbelievable. "If we are killed, the officials will definitely investigate the Bellomon ruins in depth, and they will soon discover strange mutations. There is no need for Besarius." If there is any benefit, he should escape as soon as possible!"
Griffith had the same question. But he was even more worried that he was slowing down Galadia. If this continued, they would be overtaken before reinforcements could be found.
Soon, Besarius appeared on the far horizon behind them.
Its lower body was swollen, as fat and bloated as a rhinoceros, bigger than a war elephant, and dragged a big tail like a python. The humanoid upper body stands tall and erect on a thick torso, and its hands hold a huge sword flowing with green fire. The magic pattern grown by the red crystal has completely covered the body, forming a gray-black shell on the body surface.
Besarius has become an out-and-out monster! The huge and ferocious figure became more depraved and evil.
It strode forward with four hooves, approaching like a mythical demon, and its hill-like figure could be seen in the distance. Although it is huge, its pursuit speed is astonishingly fast.
"You go first, I'll contain it!" Griffith patted the elf on the shoulder, "Go find reinforcements."
"How can that be done!" Galadia refused as expected, and even wanted to stop to fight the monster.
"Only by finding Roland can we have a chance of winning!"
Griffith stopped arguing and turned into a bat, leaving the hesitating elf behind and flying quickly in the other direction. Besarius, who was running towards him, also turned his direction. Instead of chasing the elf, he followed the bat.
…
They ran wildly on the deserted grass. Besarius finally caught up to a position where he could attack. He raised his hand casually, and a rain of burning meteorites crashed down, setting off a torrential wave of weather.
Griffith was simply swept away by the aftermath of the air wave and flew out like a leaf. He rolled several times on the ground, rolled down a small gentle slope, struggled to get up, and continued to escape towards a small river in front of him without even the slightest intention of resisting.
Besarius condensed another flaming spear in his hand and threw it.
"Boom!" The flame spear hit the grass and exploded into a ball of fire. The strong wind from the explosion kicked up flying sand and rocks, knocking Griffith directly to the other side of the river. When the smoke cleared, he lay on the ground and could only breathe.
The demonic Besarius strode forward, the flaming spear once again taking shape in his hands. He looked at Griffith, who was already covered in smoke, and a smile appeared on his ferocious face, and he said shocking words:
"Don't waste time and effort, human. The great Lord of Dreams sent me an oracle. You can activate that ancient stone tablet and have the qualifications to follow my steps. What did that elf girl call you? Griffith is ?"
It’s really a good ad, it’s worth putting up, and it’s even supported by Android and Apple phones!
Griffith struggled to his feet. He seemed concerned about what the demon in front of him was about to say. With his back against the slope of the river bank, he was quiet for a while and then responded: "Yes, I am Griffith. That stone slab is a wonderful object. What on earth is it?"
Besarius's huge body approached the river, and his expression could no longer be seen on his distorted face: "That is the remnant of a demon. He fooled me, ruined my life, ruined everything, and imprisoned me here. , the time is immeasurably long.”
As it walked, it tapped the red crystal on its chest and continued:
"Later, I finally found a makeshift host, but it was a pity that it couldn't bear my power and was on the verge of collapse not long after. Look at this ugly body. Griffith, I'm not chasing you to take your life. , but to give you an offer you cannot refuse.
"In the town of Qimin not far from here, there is a human knight named Roland. The great Lord of Dreams noticed him. As long as you help me lead him out, it is not difficult. I will take his body and soul sacrifice. The Lord of Dreams will give us a reward. For me, it will be a perfect body that is immortal,
"And you, who should have died in my hands, can live, and you will even receive powerful power as a reward, with strength comparable to that of Sequence 5 like me. As long as you continue to sacrifice, always be pious, and gain God's favor, He You will be given more gifts. All your dreams will come true. You can get anything, status, power, wealth, honor, women, and even the return of the dead."
Griffith raised his head and stared at the demon in front of him: "So, what is the price?"
