To the east of the Sea of Tranquility, there is a hundred-mile-long rift trench between the Sebasto region and the eastern continent. Although this place is remote, it is not without people. Fishing fleets and survey teams that ventured to the Sea of Chaos appeared in an endless stream on the side of the Sea of Tranquility, gradually attracting merchants, taverns and postmen, forming a small town-sized gathering in a relatively safe location.
The trench seemed to have been split open by a god holding a sword. On both sides of the bottomless fissure were thousands of cliffs, stretching straight into the desolate distance. The terrain for dozens of miles north and south of the trench rises sharply. Birches and ancient oaks grow at the base of the black mountains, while the slopes are covered with pine and fir. The snow on the top of the mountain never melts all year round, sometimes showing a golden-red light in the dusk, making it look like the palace of the legendary gods. The continuous snowy peaks are almost insurmountable for flightless creatures, and rapids formed by melting snow rush down from the narrow cracks in the cliffs, hitting the waves and salty waves head-on.
This is the edge of the world. The closer you get to the Sea of Chaos, the more mysterious it becomes.
The end of the rift is a fan-shaped reef sea that is large in the west and small in the east, a small part of the boundless sea of chaos. To the east of the long and sloping coast and the sandy beaches stretching to the north and south is the dangerous sea area with countless reefs and islands. The broken landscape looks like torn debris, scattered in pieces in the endless sea.
Griffith still knew this geographical knowledge. The eastern battlefield he fought on was on the continent south of the Sea of Chaos. After crossing the snow-capped mountains to the south, he could return to the bloody and desolate battlefield. Thinking of this, he not only shuddered from the depths of his soul.
If you leave the dangerous reef sea and head north, it is said that you can reach the extremely remote ice sheet and frozen soil. There are many ancient and mysterious ethnic groups living in seclusion there. They guard the shipping lanes 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. Legend has it that beneath the rugged sea surface, there sleeps a ruins that we know very little about." Alandel regained some strength and hid behind a tree to get wet. "Before this operation, Roland contacted me. According to him, a powerful ally made a prophecy. Exploring with you will help resist my destiny. Otherwise, I just threw you into the sea, huh!"
Um……
This is a lot of information. Griffith noticed that Alandel was holding a flintlock similar to that of a convict, and she must have a close relationship with Roland. But who is a powerful ally?
"Who is this ally?"
"Roland didn't say anything," Alandel shook her head. "The Riddler hasn't been around for a day or two. But in the near future, will we know who he is?"
"So, even you who are good at traveling in the ocean don't know what is hidden in the ocean?" Griffith glanced at Alandel's flawless and smooth back, and quickly looked away. The long fish tail has disappeared, and its legs have become straight again.
"Yes, there is an astonishing aura lingering in the darkness of the Chaos Sea, and its mystery is unfathomable.
"The seawater there is full of dangers. Some people have seen huge tentacles that are raging wildly, with enough power to crush all rocks and ships. They will appear suddenly, and they are so dense that it is terrifying. 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 also 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 cavalry and a prestigious knight. Even if he is among hundreds of enemies, he will not be afraid of panic. However, at this moment, Griffith felt a bone-gnawing fear, and a fishy, damp evil like mud was surging under his feet, sending the coldness of the north wind upwards.
"Look over there!" Alandel was the first to notice the abnormality. She hurried out holding the clothes she had not yet put on and pointed to the coast in the distance.
An astonishing scene appeared in front of me.
The ghost ship moored on the shore actually opened a terrifying mouth. The wizards of Odessa, who were supposed to be fleeing inland, appear here. There were not many of them, but Professor Lafayette, Professor Julian, and Knight Patolion were all there, as well as a few heavily armed people who had never been seen before.
They surrounded the calm and calm Naira, and dragged the frightened and reluctant Neferti out of the darkness. Then, the ghost ship slowly set sail and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Why are they here?" Griffith was extremely shocked. There are magic and abilities that can carry out space teleportation, but the conditions for arrangement and use are extremely harsh. Only Sequence 7 spellcasters and extraordinary beings can become targets.
"It is very likely that there are relics of the breath left by the outer gods hidden here," Alandel whispered. "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 but hesitate.
He had a lot of powerful equipment that he didn't bring with him. Although he is supported by two swords and two magic rings, he still has considerable fighting power. However, the enemy in front of them 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 they are not careful, they will encounter fatal danger.
Just when he was thinking about how to observe from a distance without being discovered. Alandel suddenly patted his head: "Knight, let me put some makeup on you."
"Make up? Now? Why?!"
"We need to get close to them and explore the ruins with them!" Alandel made an astonishing suggestion enthusiastically, "Don't be nervous, I had relevant plans when I took you to leave the Brunhil. My family I am in charge of a powerful sealed artifact that has been inherited, which can guarantee silent infiltration, leave it to me!"
Emmm…
Griffith looked at the girl who was not fully clothed and became deeply suspicious.
"Alaindel."
"What, are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm just making sure that when you say infiltration, you really mean infiltration without being discovered, right?" Griffith clapped the sword in his hand, "It's definitely not the kind of person who walks over in a swaggering manner. The kind of infiltration that involves being discovered and then taking action to cut all enemies to the ground.”
Alandel stared at Griffith with her eyes wide open for a while, even standing on tiptoes, covering herself with clothes with one hand, and touching his forehead with the other: "I don't think normal people can do such a thing."
…
Evacuation like this is indeed unacceptable. The secrets of Naira, Neferti, and the Void's living fabric are at hand. The existence of evil has stretched out its tentacles to this world, and it is only a matter of time before he comes again. Griffith is destined to confront them again. If he does not want to repeat the previous tragedy, he must collect as much intelligence as possible and prepare for future battles.
Griffith nodded and agreed that Alandel would take charge of the next actions.
The captain first took out the kettle she carried with her and gave Griffith a small amount of strange-tasting tea. Then she took out the magic materials and cosmetic bag she carried with her and dressed up the knight.
Her makeup bag is very strange, it is a small shell, with intricate and delicate makeup divided into sections.
Griffith stood quietly and let Alandel dress up, feeling a strange and indescribable feeling. Sonia once dressed him up, and the touch left by her delicate fingers made people feel itchy.
However, Miss Captain's skills are different. Griffith clearly felt that his skin had wrinkles and his nose was pointed and long. His eyes, ears, and lips seemed to be growing.
This strange feeling lasted for about a quarter of an hour.
"Okay, please express your thoughts!" Alandel panted and used magic to condense a small mirror. "Very precious and rare materials are boiled and refined. These are the effects of my favorite sealed item 'Sweet Foundation' .The appearance-changing effect can last for 12 hours.”
"Only 12 hours?"
"Of course, if it were so easy to change one's appearance, there would 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 between thirty-eight and forty years old. His face was as pale as if he had just escaped from a tomb that had never seen the light of day, but his beauty made Beyeland the most picky. The countess will be very satisfied when she sees it; her eyes are sparkling and strong, as if they are penetrating; the bridge of her nose is straight, almost flush with her forehead, and it is a nose with impeccable southern aesthetics.
After dressing up her companions, Alandel chanted a magic spell and transformed her uniform into something unrecognizable like the fairy in the story.
She didn't change her appearance, but after changing her clothes, makeup and hairstyle, she became a completely different person. He was wearing a pair of silk trousers with a white background embroidered with pink roses, revealing two small and exquisite feet. If these two feet were not playing with a pair of small slippers inlaid with gold pearls, others might have mistaken them for marble sculptures. She was wearing a blue and white striped blouse that exposed her shoulders. The cuffs were short and only reached her elbows. They were edged with silver thread and had pearls as buttons. It was so bold that it made your heart beat faster. She wore a vest outside the blouse, with the front There is a heart-shaped gap, exposing the ivory neck and the upper part of the chest, and the lower end is locked with three diamond buttons. A thin belt was tied around her slender waist.
She spun around in circles and, satisfied with her outfit, she tied up her thick, long straight black hair and draped it over her smooth left shoulder.
"Newlywed wives all have such hairstyles! It will be more convenient when serving their husbands~" Alandel said, leaning over and holding Griffith's arm, squeezing her face with a slightly frightened expression, "No one I recognize you. From now on, you are Mr. Dantès, a wealthy businessman in the South. He was shipwrecked on his honeymoon trip with his newlywed wife, Miss Haidee, who was twenty years younger than him. Under the influence of his smart and magical wife With help, we escaped from the most dangerous sea area, but we lost all our servants and luggage and were in urgent need of help."
She raised her chin at Griffith with an expression as if she was about to praise me:
"I am Haidee~
"The daughter of Baron Balando. Don't worry, this is an identity under the control of my family. No one can see the problem. Leave it to me to communicate with them later!"
Griffith looked at the captain in amazement.
She is an outstanding beauty. Her exquisite appearance, outstanding grace, and impeccable elegance combine to make her unforgettable for any man who sees her. The beauty on that face comes from the warm spring-filled south. The big, dark, watery eyes, the cute tip of the nose, the coral-like red lips, and the pearl-like teeth make people naturally compare her to just now. Combined with the image of a young girl becoming a newlywed wife.
"Are you sure I won't be found out?" Griffith still didn't quite understand. "How come there is a newlywed couple in the wilderness who doesn't seem to be easy to meet? How can it not arouse suspicion?"
"The other sealed artifact I carry will strengthen their identification with us." Alandel put a pearl necklace on her swan-like neck. "The golden pearls of the Broken Sea will assist us with imperceptible hints. As long as there is no malicious intent - we just want to explore with them and leave safely, there is indeed no malicious intent - they will believe what we say under the influence of suggestion. Don't underestimate the power of the Dream Pathway Sealed Artifact."
Changing the appearance and adding hints sounded 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 supernaturals and monsters who want to die together. Regardless of his own safety, Alandel will definitely be implicated and killed.
"It sounds good, but I still feel that if you want them to believe in such a bizarre experience with only sealed artifacts..."
"Humph, you underestimate me too much. Makeup is a girl's weapon! You can question my technique. After all, in such a short preparation time, the sealed items are limited," the girl said confidently, "But you can't Questioning my understanding of the art of makeup!”
"How do you say this?"
"Dantes Dantès~" Alandel had already begun to enter into the role setting, "Do you know why the Tiberion knights are invincible in the arena?"
"That's naturally because he is Tiberion, the knight with the best riding and spear skills in the world." Griffith replied without thinking.
"That's not true~" the girl shook her head, "It's because he is wearing that gleaming Hundred Flowers Armor. The attention of both enemies and friends is focused on that armor, that dangerous lance, who cares!"
