Blood tax

Chapter 243 Madame de Ravenelle is not so easy to do!
Until now, Griffith's true intelligence has been carefully concealed.

Sonia pushed a file over: "In the file of the Reserve Army Command, you are the Sequence 8 "Executor" rather than the "Barrier Breaker"; besides, it is recorded in the file that you got the Goddess of Water's Favor, you can use the advanced ice armor technique to form a shield to fight."

Griffith froze for a moment: "Huh? And the goddess of water? I haven't been to his temple once."

Only a few acquaintances know Griffith's true ability, and he himself does not believe in the goddess of water at all, and has never been to her temple.He felt guilty when he thought that there really were gods with relevant authority.

"Of course, you're so rude!" Sonia criticized him with a smile, "Let's go there another day."

……

The scorching sun in August is like fire.

Sonia stopped the notes in her hand, rubbed her forehead and looked out the window.

In the past few days, she was rarely in a good mood, feeling bored for no reason.

The fighting in Verona intensified.The rebels everywhere are as endless as if they grew out of the ground, overturning the castles of local nobles one after another.

On the newspaper at hand was the headline in large letters: "Veronese Nobility Fleeing to the East Coast."

Sonia also knew a lot of information that wasn't in the newspapers.As soon as the summer meeting of the two chambers ended, Earl Lamor bid farewell to his family, boarded the warship in the port, and headed straight to the old town to join the fully loaded Sixth Army.He will bring the newly formed auxiliary army there to assist Earl Chalon and the 6th Army to defend the east bank, annihilate the rebels, and maintain order.

According to the decision of the summer meeting, the third Bayeram Army, the 4th Army, has also set off, also commanded by a well-known elder.Whether important national policies and proposals can be implemented depends on these three powerful legions.

The war is so close.

The count didn't say anything to the acquaintance, but just made a few casual comments, thinking that the local rebels were not worth mentioning.Earl William de La Mole is one of the most famous generals in the world. Naturally, everyone is relieved when he said that, and the distinguished dignitaries who are familiar with him have offered their warm blessings.

Countess Hélène de La Mole was not worried at all.When her husband is away from Bayeran, she will take care of the affairs here.

However, the Earl's letter in the past two days asked Sonia without thinking:
"When will Griffith come back? He will meet up with Professor Heinz as soon as possible after his return, and get familiar with the Storm Trooper Squadron and the 603 Technical Test Squadron."

The letter didn't say anything in detail.Sonia felt bewildered.

It was Galadia's birthday party, and Griffith also represented the Lamor House to deliver gifts, so how could he come back early.Did dad forget something again?

Professor Heinz has been helping Dad with advice all these years, and there is even news that he will be the chief of staff on the Western Front.School started when Griffith returned.Could it be that the battle situation in Verona is actually very serious, and they need to help together?

"Fiona, is there any news about Earl Chalon?" Sonia, who came back from her thoughts, touched the hand of her best friend across the desk worriedly.After returning from the Belomon ruins, the two spent most of this summer vacation together.

"What? He only wrote a letter, and my mother already suspects that he hooked up with other women there, so I will go to Old Town to question him in person in the next two days!" Fiona sighed, "Hmph, everything It's an excuse, I must be thinking of my own man, I can't think of it. I don't know them yet."

"How's the fighting there?"

"It doesn't look very good. It hasn't been leveled for several months, and two additional legions have been sent. The rebels are not very powerful. I understand that the local nobles can't handle it. Why can't my father suppress them? Sure enough, I It's the best in the family!"

You ran through the rebels in a wave of recklessness, and Griffith and LS were scared to death by your side.Sonia criticized her in her heart.

Speaking of Griffith, what is he doing now?Did you have fun with Galadia? Canaan must be beautiful.I really want to go too...

Sonia was thinking about things in a wild way, and then scribbled in her notebook.

If Dad recruits Griffith to the Verona front, do I want to stop it... If it is Griffith, he might become famous in the war. Dad privately said that he would be a good commander, but he needs to be tempered .

Papa and his friends had received some noble inheritance from Verona, one of which was the old de Ravenel family, which was extinct, and Griffith was one of the candidates.It's a nice name, but Griffith must pay a lot to get it. Dad won't be so generous.

De Ravenelle... Madame de Ravenelle, what a lovely name.

what!What am I thinking!

Sonia's face turned red, and she looked down at the doodles on her notes.

Griffith's profile is vividly drawn in charcoal.The unintentional strokes leave a sharp line of sight on the paper, and the firm outline truly depicts his decisiveness, determination, extreme rationality and strong self-confidence.

Sonia closed the notebook with a snap, and glanced at Fiona nervously.

"Oh, Sonia, have you started drawing manga yet? It looks really good!" Fiona just glanced at it, but didn't see clearly, "What are you drawing? Let me see!"

Sonia blushed from her cheeks to her ears, and was so nervous that she couldn't speak a word.If anyone wants to take her notebook away, even if it is a god, she will resist to the end.

If Fiona comes to grab it, she will fight Fiona!
"Don't be embarrassed! This is a very good thing!" Fiona said without thinking about the matter.

It's still a good thing... How can I be a human being if it spreads out!
"Come on, let me show you what I drew!" Fiona opened her notebook and showed it to her best friend openly.

Sonia looked at it, the green outline, simple composition, poor painting skills but pleasing to the eye.She couldn't help asking:
"This is?"

"Consecutive four-frame painting. This is Lana, I did a good job!"

"really not bad."

Sonia looked at Fiona with admiration.She is so brave, I dare not draw my own Shutoral, people will see it.

Sonia turned a page back, and found that the boy in the album looked familiar.She exclaimed, "Isn't this Griffith?"

"That's right!" Fiona nodded approvingly, "It seems that I have drawn his temperament."

You, how can you!Sonia was stunned and angry.Is Fiona going to play Griffith's idea?You did win the victory together, but you can't do that either!Aren't you my best friend!Griffith is my knight!
Anger and resentment brewed like never before.It was as if Sonia had watched the canary being snatched away by a sneaky little wild cat, and she almost took off her shoes to throw it.

She gave her good friend a serious look, knowing that she had to discuss this matter clearly with her.

Let Fiona know that Mrs. de Ravenelle is not so easy to do!
"Come on, quickly read the third page!" Fiona didn't pay attention to her expression at all, as if she was eager to share a secret that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

Sonia looked at it, and jumped up from her seat in shock: "They, why are they hugging each other?!"

"Hey hey," Fiona smiled like a flower, "This is the latest genre technique and narrative, known as the book drawing method.

"Now, hey, let's get to the climax!
"Cover your mouth!"

……

Griffith once again boarded a sailboat across the Sea of ​​Tranquility, this time he would go up the Tirne River and reach Canaan by water.Without friends, the long journey is calm and boring...

It should have been peaceful and boring.

"Resolution is nothing but a slave to memory, it changes at will according to your memory."

Oh--!This book is so touching, "Ann Hathaway", no wonder my father-in-law, ah bah, no wonder the consul likes it!Griffith stroked the cover of the book.The author with the pseudonym "Wu Ge" really has a great heart and can understand all characters and passions.

The Villanoy consul loves these pieces.

At first, looking at these two thick books, Griffith felt that the time was tight and the task was heavy, just like a candidate who was still desperately answering the question when the bell rang at the end of the exam, he read "Ann Hathaway" from morning to night and The Tempest.Before long, he was completely addicted to it.

"When we are free from this dying skin,

"What dreams come in death's sleep?
"It makes us hesitate,
"Making us willingly bear long years of calamity,
"Otherwise, who would tolerate all kinds of torture in the world,

"Such as the government of a tyrant, the pride of the proud, the pain of a lost love, the arrogance of laws, the insult of corrupt officials, or the humiliation of mediocrity,

"What if he could simply kill it with a single blow?
"Who else would be willing to be a cow or a horse?"

He recited aloud excitedly, and the passengers around him detoured one after another.

He didn't know when it started, but he suddenly found that it was very touching for a person to read high-spirited and strange lines to the vast sea.

He repeated the dialogue in the book and was deeply intoxicated by it.The other passengers watched in horror as the armed officer turned his face to the sea and said strange, polite words, thinking that he was crazy.Everyone reported to the captain one by one, saying that the officers on board must be followers of evil gods.

The captain looked carefully, and found that the whole ship together might not be able to defeat him, so he could only tell everyone to go around.

In this way, after killing passion on the deck during the day, Griffith began to worry about gains and losses again at night.

He checked his cavalry uniform to see if it was threaded or damaged, and looked through the gifts for Miss Elf, feeling good for a while, and bad for a while.

This is a ring made by skilled craftsmen in Bayeran with a great deal of thought and cost. The mithril ring setting uses the extraordinary characteristics of the puppeteer as a gem, allowing the ring holder to control and summon mysterious creatures and The ability of plants is very suitable for Extraordinary people like Galadia who have weak defenses.

It's just that this is a ring. Of course Miss Elf can't wear it on her ring finger, that's what the fiancé can do.It can only be worn on the middle finger, which means that there is a lover who is passionately in love.

What to do!
Griffith began to worry about gains and losses whenever he looked at the rings and gems.

How did I prepare such a gift!Once such a gift is given out, I, I will have a showdown with her in Canaan!
