Blood tax

Chapter 290 Arendelle
Griffith ran down the tower in amazement.Outside the reception room off the lobby, he saw a large group of whispering boys.

As soon as they saw him coming, the boys retreated with a "crash" like the tide was ebbing, mixed with some strange chanting.

"As expected of Griffith, he easily did something we couldn't even imagine!"

Alandelle stood there gracefully, with a natural and noble temperament like a hibiscus emerging from the water, a delicate face with a slight smile, bright eyes looking forward to shine, and a long and radiant radiance that shrouded mystery in the sun. exotic beauty.

Her demeanor has both girlish agility and a nobility that makes people dare not feel profane, and she caused a sensation as soon as she appeared.Boys from all grades rushed to see her beauty.They pretended to pass by on something, secretly looked at this beauty, and then lowered their heads as if they were afraid of being discovered.

That ethereal and mysterious aura made people's heart flutter, and when she came in front of Griffith, countless jealous eyes almost killed him.

After experiencing many mysteries, Griffith already knew what he was facing.Arundel's beauty is even more exciting than Galadia.This unimaginable charm can only be compared with Miss Lover.

The beautiful girl doesn't care about it, she seems to be used to living in the spotlight.She bowed slightly to the quasi-knight:
"Good day, Mr. Knight."

"Nice to see you again, Miss Arendelle." Griffith noticed that the accompanying servants were carrying a long and narrow willow box.A certain familiar breath and restlessness are rolling inside, trying to break free.

The girl nodded to the servants.At the moment when the lid of the box was opened, the lance blade and crystal purple brilliance seemed to be infiltrated by cold springs, and scattered ravings and ominous breath came out.Under the rush of vigorous blood, several of the students who were hiding in the aisle and snooping immediately fell to the ground with their foreheads pressed.

Some boys from other branches also had an urge to snatch such a beautiful weapon as their own, and they were ready to move.

Griffith took two steps forward, reaching for the long-lost lance.The moment he touched the weapon, a bloody ring-shaped impact burst out, and the students outside the lounge let out heart-piercing screams, followed by messy and hasty footsteps running away like a swarm of rats.

Arundel's face turned pale, and she took two steps back unsteadily, almost falling to the ground.

Bloodthorn sang in his hand, cheering him to go to the battlefield immediately.Just holding this mysterious horse lance, the resonance of power made him unleash the coercion of breaking the army.

The servants following Arendelle saw that the young lady had been hit, and subconsciously wanted to come up to protect her.However, as soon as they thought about it, an indescribable tremor came from the soles of their feet.Cold fear bit their spines and fingers, invading their will little by little.

They looked at the quasi-knight holding the bloodthorn in horror, but found that they didn't even have the courage to look up.

Griffith sighed softly, smiled slightly, with a satisfied expression on his face, put the bloodthorn back into the box with a pleasant face, and closed the box lid, his sharp eyes swept over the terrified servants.

"Go back."

The servants didn't even wait for the lady's order, and hurriedly retreated with the willow box in panic.

Griffith then turned around and said to Arendelle, "Follow me."

The girl pressed her forehead lightly, and her pale face returned to bright and beautiful: "Okay, I heard that the cliffs of Homenworth are very beautiful, and I've always wanted to see them."

The two left the hall and walked towards the cliff outside the Hormonwatts wall.The girl gradually recovered from the shock just now, and said softly and elegantly:

"My family wishes to help the victors in the great war to come,

"Bloodthorn has also been looking for its master,
"I wish you to break free from the shackles as soon as possible and achieve brilliant feats."

"So, what's the price?" Griffith asked.

Alandelle shook her head: "We don't ask for it. If we have to say it, the danger of holding the bloodthorn is the price."

Griffith glanced at her, then walked forward in silence for a while, and came to a secluded cliff: "Miss Arendelle, is it your family who chose me, or you?"

The tide at dusk hit the reef on the shore, and the white waves rolled under the feet of the two of them.Alandelle stared at the quasi-knight calmly, her beautiful little mouth drew an arc: "Why do you say that?"

"There are many reasons," Griffith spread his hands, "First, your family is very powerful. It can provide the best horses, have powerful sealed items, and organize and operate in an orderly manner in times of crisis. It is not something ordinary nobles from other provinces can do.

"Secondly, Hepu's streets, city appearance, governance and quality of life are far above ordinary towns. Although they are only showing signs, the rich financial resources you have can't cover it up. This is not something that can be done every year or two. earned wealth.

"With such wealth and sufficient rationality, why couldn't you come up with a team of Extraordinary when the cultists came to your door? Let alone no, your own strength is quite impressive. But, until the end The strength has not been shot, if we official Extraordinary are weaker, or Iloti is not so brave, your homeland will be wiped out on that day."

When Griffith said this, the light in his eyes almost turned into sharp knives, enough to make the warrior timid.Arundel raised her head, watching him calmly like a girl listening to her lover.

Griffith continued: "In this regard, what I think of is that even if you local dignitaries and those cultists are not in the same group, you can benefit from the worst situation to some extent, so you take a sidelines attitude.

"During this process, your support for me was too generous. Judging from the results, I killed the ritual of the cultists and prevented the final event from happening. The Deathrattle Order fell short, and your family, apart from suffering major There is nothing to lose.

"This is very unreasonable. Since you are determined to cooperate with the cultists, how can you do such a thankless thing. Combined with the fact that you are the only family member who cooperated with me that day, I will naturally think,
"Miss Arendelle, why do you want to interfere with the family's plan? Why do you think a second-level captain and apprentice knight are worthy of help?"

The girl couldn't help but smile slightly, her bright eyes drooping down: "The grace of the Outer God is extremely generous, but the price is terribly shocking. I don't want to be a sacrifice.

"Some elders in my family knew of some hidden plots, and terrifying existences from distant worlds. The righteous gods wanted to stop them, but they were restrained from being able to descend into the world. Therefore, they began to select and fight against Evil fighters, such as the great Knight Roland, and many wise and brave men. You must have heard many stories about them.

"However, I doubt whether a brave man like Roland can be useful. They are weird. There are always places that are out of tune with the world, and their adventures and growth are too ostentatious. Even the gathering of extraordinary people will be discovered by divination and prophecy. Can these brave men really stop the evil invasion?
"If I were an evil god, I would definitely not be blocked by a few moves of Mingqi."

This girl said so loudly, is she going to discover the dark chess of the gods by herself, and transform from a chess piece to a player?You can't believe everything, her family may just bet on both sides and wait and see the chess game.

Griffith had several thoughts in his mind, and asked Alandelle: "Can you see the dark chess of the gods? What would it be like?"

"Mr. Knight, have you ever seen a giant dragon? Do you know how the dragon changes?"

Griffith shook his head and smiled, "I would like to hear more about it."

Alandelle pointed to the sky and moved to the waves of the blue sea: "Dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide; big can make clouds and mist, small can hide its shape; rising can fly between the universe, hidden can hide in the waves Within. The dragon is a thing, comparable to the heroes of the world, and the dark chess of the gods."

That's a good thing to say.Griffith couldn't help but nodded again and again: "Have you gained anything?"

"Of course there are!" The girl regained her spirits immediately, "In today's world, those who can be worthy are Mr. Knight and I."

"..."

Seeing Griffith's expression of disbelief, Arendelle said seriously: "Mr. Knight, I wasn't sure at first, but I saw you appearing next to Ilodie, withstood the test of blood thorns, and resisted evil with unparalleled heroism. conspiracy, I firmly believe that I have found the answer."

As night falls, under the bright moonlight, the sea is sparkling and dazzling.The girl stood on the edge of the cliff and turned towards the sea:

"The clansmen have entrusted me with a lofty mission. It seems that my destiny has already been set. But I cannot accept it. Their reason is covered by desire and greed, and their ideals are swallowed by ignorance. The existence of evil trades, and the whole world will pay the price beyond regret.”

After Alandelle finished speaking, she began to undress and take off her dress.

"Wait a minute, what are you going to do?"

"I'll show you my evidence, so that when you think about it the next morning, you will mistakenly think that you heard a girl with a bad brain talking in your sleep."

The frivolous dress slipped off the girl's fragrant shoulders, revealing the smooth and jade-like back and waistline.Her long black hair made the beautiful curves faintly visible under the moonlight, which made her even more alluring.

"See you later, Mr. Knight, someone will take care of Bloodthorn.

"Please accept the blessings offered to you by the singer of the sea."

After saying this, the girl jumped down the cliff.

Unexpectedly, Griffith hurried to the edge of the cliff, only to see small waves splashing in the sea.Undressed, Alandelle waved to her in the water under the cliff, and swam to the distance.Fish tails covered with crystal scales can be faintly seen in the waves.

There is a distant, clear and haunting voice in the sea, and Griffith can't make out her words, but she can still feel the comforting kindness and worry about the not-too-distant future.The singing touched his heartstrings and drew out a thought.

"The world is disconnected.

"Ah, what a cursed cause and effect this is.

"I didn't expect that I was born to fix it!"
