On an autumn morning, the fields glow with green and yellow. The two of them walked in the direction of their return in silence.
There is an unspeakable secret hidden in my heart, and even though it is so scary, I can’t help but want to touch it. But it will collapse the moment it is touched, making people hesitate and hesitate as if they are in an endless spiral.
Christa followed the knight carefully, sometimes looking at the stream flowing around her, and sometimes looking at the tall and familiar figure. She wanted to catch up, but she hesitated; she wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to speak.
Your eyes cannot see, what color is it? I really want to see the sky in your eyes.
I have a dream, so small and insignificant. I want to go to the promised dream-like place, let the sea breeze blow my hair, and look for the key hidden in the tree hole, even if it is only for one day. I really want to leave here, immerse myself in the ordinary time, and look for small dreams in the recurring days.
The girl rubbed her tired cheeks. The face is reflected in the rippling blue waves, and the world with faded blood is about to wake up in the morning.
I hesitated, worried that I no longer had a soul. But the moment I met you made me believe——
I still have a dream that emerges every sleepless night, a dream that I still can’t let go of despite countless expectations in my heart.
Just seeing you gives me power. In order to protect the world with you and for this short time, I can embrace that small dream.
As time goes by, we have passed each other, but we meet again. For you and for me, I want to weave this dream together. Maybe it's too late, but by your side I have unshakable courage.
"Guffy!"
She hurriedly caught up, wanting to tightly grasp the familiar and warm hand, secretly hiding all her attachment, dependence and expectations in her palm——
Will you kiss me secretly when I'm not paying attention~
…
Griffith looked up at the distant sky. The colors between the sky and the earth soaked in grief and blood had faded. The turmoil and noise of that night had disappeared. The dreamlike melody was so silent. The sad scenery all turned into light, and even the teardrops and blood beads were like gems.
The bright autumn wind is like a heart-beating harmony, and the resonant echo in the wilderness is high above all sadness and the unchangeable past.
Griffith turned around and stood dazzled.
Everything reflected in your eyes is the real world...
Everything so far has been for such a sad fate. Tears and prayers are not destined to keep you here. Then sing tomorrow with swords and spears in the pouring torrent.
Maybe, there is still happiness and hope waiting for us.
He walked across the cold flowing water to Krista and held her close.
The girl pushed his shoulder hard, but was melted by the irresistible strength and warmth.
…
Griffith held the girl's hand and walked by the stream. He thought again and again, but still didn't know how to speak or where to start:
"How are you?"
What kind of words are these~
Krista leaned on his arm and responded softly: "Yeah."
He looked up and looked ahead: "There should be a road leading to the camp ahead, let's go back from there."
"Well," the girl nodded, rubbed the ends of her hair, and asked with all her strength, "Is anyone waiting for you?"
The silence and heartache tortured Griffith's heart, which was simply unbearable: "I have lost a lot of memories about you."
"Oh?" These defensive words slowly lifted the solemn atmosphere, and Krista's sad brows also relaxed. She raised her fist and knocked on his breastplate: "Excuse."
They both laughed softly. Krista asked: "Then what do you remember?"
"The time before my promotion to the second-level squad leader and the party, as well as you teaching me to dance, and the final battle." Griffith said.
Krista leaned on his shoulder and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Why don't you verify my identity? Maybe I am a monster? I will eat you in one bite."
"Well, this..." Griffith walked slowly, feeling choked up and unable to speak, "I am about to become a knight. Now I am the leader of a third-level assault squadron, and I will buy a house of my own on the beach. ! The key is still hidden in the same place."
"I'll climb over the wall, and if you lock the door, I'll dismantle the door and get in," Krista said, fiddling with the straps on his breastplate. "There's no end to this."
"I wish it would be longer. The Saint of Anjou will be very busy when we get back to the barracks."
"That's true."
Griffith wanted to ask, but the girl put her finger on his mouth: "Don't ask about things related to mystery. Touching the real name and keywords will attract His attention and vigilance."
"Then...I have to ask something and do something."
"I am resurrected by His power to serve His will. In this sad land, the moment of eclipse is coming," Krista said. "I heard that you and Captain Erza were in Rui Wen fought. Have you learned about the local church situation?"
Griffith nodded: "I already have the clues. After seeing you, I already know what happened."
Krista considered the words: "I can occasionally hear His will. The Angevin girl is my identity and my inescapable mission. I will bring miracles to the world in the name of Holy Light. I once wanted to find you. , however, there is a lot of resistance.
"This is the only time I can be Krista again."
They crossed a stream and walked a short distance back to the camp and back to their destiny. Griffith jumped onto the shore and held out his hand to Krista.
The girl silently held his hand. She saw the camp ahead, and sadness and despair appeared in her blue eyes again.
The two looked at each other in silence, and she suddenly threw herself into the knight's arms: "Geffe, please, kill me, now. I can feel that once I return to the believers of the Holy Light, I will She will be an Anjou girl."
"Krista, what would happen to you if, if His will was accomplished?"
"I am His creation. When the dust settles, I should return to silence."
"I understand," Griffith showed a stiff smile, "The only way is to kill Him. Well, it sounds quite simple and clear."
The girl anxiously wanted to retort, but her pretty cheeks were lifted up, and strong fingers gently touched her cherry-red lips, which was like an electric current hitting her soul. She wanted to say something, but the passionate kiss blocked her words.
…
When he returned to the reinforcements camp, Griffith had calmed down from the initial shock and panic.
The scattered information has been connected. The moment he met Krista, Griffith realized she was the miracle the Outer Gods had prepared for the world. Yes, not an ordinary saint, but a miracle.
She was trained by the Raven Church as a candidate saint. Due to the adjustment of canon rules, her training work was stopped midway, and Raven, who had spent a lot of resources, lost ground as a result. The Holy See of Holy Light noticed Revan walking alone, imposed severe punishments and destroyed the files. What Griffith discovered the night after the battle on Raven was some un-destroyed information.
She unfortunately died in the ensuing war. The thread of life in the virtual world noticed Krista's existence and sacrifice, and drove the Deathrattle Order to obtain her body through some method, or other information that could establish contact. Although she is dead, she can still respond to the sealed artifact "The Call of the Ancestor".
The empty box with a strange aura left on the speedboat heading to Neopolis may be the container where Krista is placed.
Neopolis was the first attempt to weave life in the virtual world, but it failed due to the intervention of the creator of the virtual world. Due to some occult factors, Elodie unfortunately became the queen of the infected, spreading mutations. , absorb life.
With the lessons learned from this failure, the Void Realm's Life Weave cooperated with Verona's rebellion on the one hand, and on the other hand changed its strategy in Raven. First, it directly collected the energy of life through the attack of undead creatures, and then concentrated it through the rotten corpses. Rise up and resurrect Christa.
Then, she was sent to the border of Odessa by the order, and as a saint she resisted the invasion of orcs, gaining popularity in the crisis. There, the fallen former Bishop of Raven, Corian, may have provided cooperation. He may be doubtful and fearful, but in the end he will cooperate with the evil god's plan intentionally or unintentionally. Otherwise, he will not achieve the status of Odessa.
Since Bishop Kelian is a minion of the Outer God, the mysterious world of Odessa and the extraordinary beings should be more or less involved! They may be carrying out the arrangements of external gods, or they may value the miracles and political value of the saint. Regardless of the reason, the result is that Krista is pushed towards the prince.
But, what is the Holy Light Holy See doing? Even if others don't realize that this is the conspiracy of the Weaver of Life, the Holy See itself should always know that the girl of Anjou is not the incarnation of the Holy Light in the world. Perhaps this is because the people of Odessa have a large number of believers of the Holy Light. When the Holy Light Holy See discovered the signs of independence and conspiracy in the Odessa diocese, it was no longer convenient to take overt countermeasures.
It was clear, then, what Griffith found himself to do.
The first option is to kill Krista. No matter what the next plan of the evil god in the virtual realm is, as long as his agent in the world is destroyed, can he still tear open the barrier of the plane and turn around?
He tried hard but couldn't do it.
The second option is a plan that directly destroys the fabric of life. The mysterious power of Odessa may also be an enemy, and they must be defeated together.
Can this be done?
The enemy is beyond imagination, but Griffith is not fighting alone. The Seven Gods, especially the Holy Light, will not condone the foreign gods plotting conspiracies in the name of their saints. There is also Beyelan's army in Odessa. If they really want to take action, the foreign gods who are blocked in the virtual realm may not There is a chance of winning.
There is still much to be done. Maybe I can keep Krista...
"Praise the Holy Light!"
A wave of cheers suddenly interrupted Griffith's thinking.
As soon as Krista returned to the military camp, the paladins and clerics had already rushed to his side.
Lanzada, Ace, and Joshua were among them. They all had injuries on their bodies. They came to Krista with great joy and saluted her to show their high respect.
"May the Holy Light bring you joyful blessings."
Krista, who had been trembling in Griffith's arms not long ago, disappeared. What appeared in front of everyone was a saint whose brilliance made it impossible to look directly at her.
She was as holy and beautiful as the morning sun. She just raised her hand and caressed Lanzada's forehead, and the latter's injury healed quickly. She walked past the tired soldiers, and everyone was enveloped in the surge of passion and strength, and the pain and sadness were swept away.
The girl from Anjou is a walking miracle. Without chanting or praying, blessings and healing came to the believer who had just experienced a trauma.
"Praise the Holy Light!"
"Praise the Saint!"
Countless ordinary people cried bitterly, gathered from all directions, and kissed her gauntlets and greaves in fear. They were all emaciated and emaciated, and they looked like refugees who had followed her and were surrounded in Pierrefonds.
The scene got out of control for a moment. Lansada and other believers in the army hurriedly gathered around the saint to protect their safety. Berthier had to send a squadron of soldiers to maintain order.
Griffith finally squeezed out of the crowd and came to his own people.
Lieutenant Lien and others actually found the lost Hanguang and Juance, cleaned them and handed them back to him: "We found them when we were searching the cliff. It was easy to find them with the help of the wizard master, but I didn't see you and Saint. We are okay, we don’t think you will die so easily. The believers don’t think so. If the Saint doesn’t come back, this place will get out of control.”
"kindness."
Griffith just responded, looking solemnly at the cheering crowd surrounding Krista.
…
"Aren't you going to cheer?" Paxiu pointed to the crowd and asked Desai beside him.
These two unbelieving guys stood not far away and stared at the fanatical crowd in a daze. The Extraordinaries of the Paladin Path and the Priest Path in the Storm Squadron seemed to be suffering from hysteria.
"Me? I'm the same as the captain." Desai muttered.
"What's it like to be the same as the captain?"
"I believe in a little bit of every god, no more, no less." Desai looked at Lanzada, who had changed into a nun's uniform and breastplate, and then at Kallen, who was also standing outside the crowd, "Of course, for the sake of For the sake of the priestess or the nun, I can’t trust you more..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth, put his feet together, and stood up straight. Griffith and Rean walked towards them: "Invite those who can move in the squadron to assemble. We will take the Saint to Teutoburg."
"Are you in such a hurry? Are you bringing the Saint with you?" Lien was a little surprised. "The battlefield has not been cleaned yet, and the prisoners have not been screened. There are many people from the Holy Light's religious sect armed forces and refugees who need to be resettled, and they are likely to follow the Saint. ."
"Yes, that's right," the prospective knight nodded, "I will contact Berthier and Dedeus and ask their troops to stay and resettle these refugees. I will ask the Countess to coordinate the garrisons and towns along the way. We march."
…
Galadia came to the quiet garden and sat down on the soft and fine grass.
After Griffith left, out of safety concerns, Ms. Avina recalled her to Arran and placed her under her protection. There are no strict school rules, and the soft and silky skirt makes her very comfortable, allowing her to have random thoughts every day.
The happiest thing is reading Griffith's letters. As if writing a staff report, this fool reported everything he had seen and learned. From time to time he would comment on the nearby terrain, saying, "If a group of ambushes were ambushed there, they would definitely catch us off guard."
Occasionally, the would-be knight will have a flash of inspiration and reveal longing and tenderness between the lines. The quick-thinking elf captured the key information and rolled happily on the grass.
However, there are still too few flattering words after all...
Hey, this idiot~blame me for not training him properly. When this war is over, I have to teach him how to write letters to girls, no, no, how to write letters to me!
Sometimes, Griffith, who was in a marching state, could not send letters in time, which would reveal the whereabouts of the army. He could only send out the letters he had saved for a few days when he arrived in a big city or camped near the mage tower.
After the undead attack in Odessa, Griffith didn't receive a letter for several days, and he probably led his army to attack somewhere else. Galadia was almost going crazy waiting, and then suddenly she received a lot of letters in one day.
According to Yalan's intelligence, Griffith seemed to have achieved a huge victory. He marched at an incredible speed and defeated the army of more than 3,000 clan alliances as neatly as a famous general in history, and saved tens of thousands of refugees. Amazing! After this war is over, he will definitely become a knight...
I have to decorate the hut on Huayue Street, and when he comes back, hey, hey, hey! Galadia buried her head in her arms and laughed non-stop. She kicked the books at her feet twice with her smooth feet and hid them in the pile of books.
Calm down, phew—! Be decent.
Miss Elf sat up and started to read the new letters. This was a letter that had been saved for ten days. It was as exciting as waking up to find that the author who had not updated for half a year suddenly wrote a whole volume.
Come, let me see. Let’s read the last one first!
She opened the letter with a smile on her face and saw the first line -
"Krista and I arrived at Teutoburg..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Galadia was stunned.
Calm and composed, hallucinations and hallucinations, I must have missed Griffith so much that I actually had hallucinations, haha.
She rubbed her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked again carefully.
"Krista and I arrived at Teutoburg..."
ah--! what happened? ! Krista, is that Krista? Why do characters who have long since exited still appear?
Galadia's heart burst when she saw this name. She jumped up with a whoosh, ran out of the garden, and broke into Ms. Avina's conference room like the wind.
The leader of the Arran Senate was discussing the agenda with a group of big shots, when his daughter broke in the door and rushed in.
"Mommy mommy!"
Ms. Avina raised her hand and stopped her panicked daughter with a smile: "Let me guess, what do you want——
"Well, I understand. Come on, let's go pick out a Noble Phantasm of mass destruction."
