The bizarre fragments are gradually pieced together, presenting a horrifying and realistic picture. Griffith was vaguely aware of his terrifying position in this picture, and desperately wanted to hide in a calm and peaceful dark space. He had a vague idea that it must be the kindest thing in the world not to be able to connect known things to each other.
6:00 am on August 30, 1444 in the Second Era. The morning light passed through the glass window, and the light and shadow shone on Griffith's face. He pulled the thin sheet and hid himself in it.
After sleeping like this for another five minutes, Griffith got out and looked out the window. He had a strange dream, which gave rise to an indescribable feeling. Somewhere in the darkness, some unexplainable existence was revealing a corner of its terrifying body.
Griffith woke up in the attic of the Earl's Mansion. He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the simple desk. He could only lie down on the small bed for one person and the books, clothes and luggage stuffed under the bed. He took off the shirts and cavalrymen on the hangers. Put on a uniform-style jacket and hang the medal on your collar.
The coats are hung on the wall. In winter, when there are many clothes and there is not enough hanging space on the wall, they can only be piled on the corner of the table, making the room look crowded. There is no wardrobe. If you move the wardrobe into this small room of less than four square meters, it will block the way, or the desk must be moved. Griffith would rather have some wrinkles in his clothes than lose the place to read.
This attic is still as small as ever. When I returned to the Earl's Palace during the summer vacation, the servants called me Mr. Knight, but they looked a little strange when they saw that I was still living in this small attic.
It would be nice to have a bedroom with a wardrobe, and it would be better to have a living room with a sofa. Otherwise, if you want to lie down for a while or sit and eat something, you have to go to the bed or desk, which is very untidy.
If there is a living room, it would be better to have a separate bathroom. I don't have to go to the public bathroom on the third floor. I often have to queue there, which is too inconvenient in emergencies.
It is also difficult to give up an independent kitchen and gas pipes. Stewing some food by yourself will make the night more wonderful. The late night snacks provided by the Earl's Palace are too simple. The nightclub food is also for the distinguished guests in the living room. I have to talk to them when I go to eat secretly. Let’s chat for a few words…
Griffith rubbed his face and walked to the third floor, where he brushed his teeth and washed his face. He walked through the spiral staircase and saw the colorful flowers in the courtyard downstairs and the strange fruits in the glass greenhouse, and began to fantasize again.
With a living room, bathroom and kitchen, it would be better to have a small garden. You can plant a peach tree and hide the key in the hole of the tree, huh! The fountain is too luxurious, but it would be nice to have a small area of lawn, where I can sit there with my friends and look up at the stars on the summer night...
Heck, it would be great if I could lie down with Galadia and watch the Summer Triangle again!
Galadia has been very busy since arriving in Arran, attending various meetings and dances to ensure that the social world knows that she is safe and sound. Under such circumstances, Griffith could hardly find time to be alone with her, so the considerate Ms. Avina arranged for someone to send him back to Beyeland.
Griffith calculated his property and income, and began to outline a cabin in his mind with great expectation.
He started imagining from the small bedroom, adding a sofa, a fireplace, a carpet and roses under the window sill to his small stronghold. Finally, he decided that adding the companionship of the elf lady would be perfect, and there was no need for more. Really, if there is still If you are not satisfied, there must be something wrong with your thinking and it will be dangerous.
The day I arrived at the Earl's Mansion from the battlefield in the East seemed so far away that a century had passed. The young second-level squad leader had become a commander in his own right. He was a Sequence 7 Beyonder and possessed the Silver Oak Leaf Knight's Eagle Badge. , you can become an official knight in less than two years, and the monthly salary and allowance of 110 silver francs have also increased to 350 silver francs. This was supposed to be an astonishing speed, but Griffith still felt that a long, long time had passed and too many things had happened.
There are layers of elusive conspiracies hidden behind Krista's secret, Elodie's revenge has not yet been avenged, the Weave of Life and the Creator are god-like existences; the two magic supremes of Homemon Watts and the dangerous evil god and Monsters are entangled; before the conspiracy against Galadia is revealed, greater changes have taken place in Canaan...
The enemy is getting stronger and stronger, and the conspiracies surrounding Griffith are layered like cream on a cake.
Of course, he also became more powerful than ever. The mail armor that once had to be worn under the uniform was no longer meaningful. The protective effect was no more than a shield, and mobility was affected by the weight.
The dagger that had always been with me had almost lost its carrying value. With Meteor and Eviscerate, the lethality of a large number of throwing knives and ordinary daggers becomes insignificant. If Hanguang Judgment is used, the goblin giants and even mountain monsters that had to be dealt with with caution a year ago can be easily killed by Griffith.
Although this is only a change within a year, it makes people feel that a long time has passed.
After Griffith took care of his face, he walked along the spiral staircase of the Earl's Mansion to the basement level. The kitchen there has prepared fried eggs, bacon and bread for breakfast, as well as honey and milk specially prepared for him.
Hoho, this is unchanged. Griffith started eating with satisfaction, and raised his hand to wave to the acquaintance who came over:
"Good morning, Anna."
"Good morning, Mr. Knight," Sonia's personal maid Anna also sat down opposite him with a plate, finishing breakfast before the countess got up, "I got up very early today too~"
The servants and guards of the Earl's Mansion will get up early to have breakfast in the restaurant on the basement floor. Griffith did not change this habit even after he gradually gained identity and status. When he came to the restaurant wearing the Order of the Riding Eagle, everyone was a little nervous at first, but they got used to it within a few days.
Everyone was eating breakfast in silence, and Anna suddenly looked up at him: "Mr. Knight, what has changed about you~"
"Really? Which way?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe it's not as rigid as when I first came here, and it doesn't look like a walking log anymore."
"..."
"You used to have a straight face every day, but now you have a smile on your face. It's a bit boring, but at least it's a smile."
"Thank you, Anna, you speak so nicely."
Anna finished her food quickly and looked at the prospective knight who was carefully sucking away the honey with a small piece of bread: "But I still keep the good habit of licking the plate clean."
"Really~" Griffith poured some water on his mat, shook the plate, and drank the remaining honey water, "Don't forget your original intention."
Today is the day to return to Homemonworth to start the new semester. At half past eight, Sonia was dressed up by Anna and sent to the carriage with a dazed look on her face. Her brother Nolan will not be sent to the port this time. He will go about his own business after saying a few words on the white stone driveway of Earl's Mansion.
Griffith looked at the Earl's eldest son and felt that his temperament had hardly changed from before. It was a very thin sense of existence. Although he was the eldest son of an earl and would definitely be a great nobleman in the future, he was just not that noticeable.
This is not surprising. The mistress of the Earl's Palace is Ms. Elena. If she said that the moon is square, the Earl would immediately summon his minions to cut the moon; not to mention the current Miss Larmore, Sonia, Bayer Lan's pearls are dazzling at all times, and there is a long list of people who try their best to talk to her at any time. As long as each person is stuffed with a weapon, they can form a squadron.
"Brother, did you go exploring the cave again?" Sonia grabbed her brother's wrist and asked, "It's bruised again."
"Yeah, do you want to try it?" Nolan casually took out the ointment and applied it to the bruises on his hands, "It's very interesting."
Griffith smiled and declined.
Compared to the other members of the Larmour family, Mr. Nolan is really unremarkable. His face was pale and his eyes were dark, like a flower bear in the Eastern Mountains. It looked like he had stayed up late again last night. His dress is quite regular, without extravagant decorations, strong aura or magic power. It is said that he interacts with businessmen in the industrial world every day and orders a lot of new gadgets invented by Count Roland for cave exploration. That's all... He doesn't even have a scandal. Even if everyone knows that the countess is arranging his fiancée, there is no social circle. No one paid special attention to it, and if they had to talk about it, everyone would simply say it - the countess would arrange it.
…
After arriving at the port, Griffith fully armed and boarded an enchanted sailboat with the same configuration as the Flying Leaf. He began to inspect the cabin as usual, walked through cabins and stairs one after another, and came to the bottom near the bow of the ship. cabin.
After a series of incidents, the school no longer prohibited Shutoral from carrying weapons on board ships as long as he was not operating on campus.
He couldn't help but think of the terrifying and fierce battle a year ago. He and Rana launched a near-death charge against the terrifying tentacle monster. Even Murat and Midianmaia were helpless. The professor was disturbed by everyone's blood, and the whole ship was in chaos. In a ball.
If we encounter a sea monster again this time...
Hey, I’m afraid there’s not enough for everyone to share!
He looked up at the wooden board above his head. The classmates ran towards the bow of the ship, making the sound of "dong dong dong" footsteps. Compared to the deck where people come and go, it's quiet, cool and secluded here.
It's a pity that Galadia is not here...
For safety reasons, Ms. Avina asked her daughter to stay in Arran and wait until school started to go directly to Homemonworth through the expensive teleportation circle. Therefore, Griffith will not be accompanied by Miss Elf on this voyage.
Griffith felt itchy when he thought of her. Although they were only separated for a few days, he really wanted to hold the girl's hand tightly now and talk about his thoughts after these days of separation. My heart aches just thinking about it.
With this expectation, Griffith was restless along the way.
The next day, as soon as he arrived at the private harbor of Homonworth, he found an opportunity to leave the crowd, quietly walked behind a secluded pillar, and hid in a corner where no one was around.
After a while, he saw a familiar skirt appear in the hall, running lightly, then stopped and looked around.
Griffith hurriedly tapped the mithril pendant, using a special echo as a signal. His heart was about to beat with excitement, and his whole body began to tremble slightly. He couldn't help but poke his head out from behind the pillar again and took a look at the position just now.
The tall and graceful figure disappeared. A gust of cool breeze caressed him from behind, and the cold and slender touch extended forward along his back. Griffith turned around quickly and caught the danger coming quietly.
"Did you miss me~" Miss Elf rubbed his hair and looked at him expectantly, "Why are you hiding here?"
Griffith looked left and right, held Galadia in his arms, gently raised her chin, and stared at the cherry red lips: "It's dark and dark here, and it's a good place at first glance!"
"Why is it a good place? Oh, um..."
Galadia was hugged tightly, and her weak resistance was instantly melted by the passionate kiss. She twisted her body slightly, and her delicate breathing became rapid.
She struggled, trying to escape from the mountain-like surroundings, but there were broad shoulders on both sides. She turned her head, trying to avoid the passionate kiss, and her long pointed ears brushed past Griffith's mouth.
"ah!"
A trembling scream echoed in the deserted hall, scaring the two sneaky guys to a halt.
Galadia's whole body was limp, and it took a while before she could speak: "No, it can't be done! You are too courageous, this is a school!"
Alas, indeed. Griffith nodded repeatedly.
The girl gasped softly and raised her head to look at him, "You can't do this. If someone sees it, you will be punished! It will become big news! As long as it is not allowed in the school, who knows if Ms. Marianne has Turn yourself into a cat and sneak around to take a peek~"
"Is it okay outside of school?"
"Hey, you~" Galadia glanced at him guiltily, "Don't use your brain!"
Okay... Griffith sighed contentedly. The kiss just now filled up the attachment and expectation of the past few days. The sweet touch on his lips that had not faded made his good mood almost fly.
"Occasionally, hold hands, okay?"
"It will be seen too!" Galadia said as she broke away from his arms. However, as soon as she left the generous shoulders, she felt lonely and lost, as if she had been evacuated. She wanted to go back now.
She hesitated, drawing circles on the ground with her toes, looked up at Griffith who was looking forward to it, and then immediately lowered her head. A white hand gently touched the back of his hand.
Galadia blushed like the sunset. She gently stroked the ends of her hanging hair and whispered in an almost inaudible voice:
"No one sees, occasionally,
"Okay~"
