Blood tax

Chapter 302 As time goes by, we passed each other, but meet again

On autumn mornings, the field is shimmering with green and yellow luster.The two walked in the direction of their return without a word.

There is an unspeakable secret hidden in my heart, even if it is so frightening, I can't help but want to touch it.But it will collapse the moment you touch it, making you hesitate as if you are in an endless spiral.

Christa carefully followed behind the knight, sometimes looking at the stream flowing beside her, and sometimes looking at the tall and familiar figure from behind.She wanted to catch up, but hesitated; wanted to say something, but dared not speak.

Your eyes cannot see, what color is that?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 dreamy place, let the sea breeze blow my hair, and look for the key hidden in the tree hole, even if it's only for one day.I really want to leave here, immerse myself in the ordinary time, and look for small dreams in the repeated days.

The girl rubbed her tired cheeks.The face is reflected in the rippling blue waves, and the blood-stained world is about to wake up in the morning.

I hesitated, worried that I had no soul.However, the moment I met you made me believe——

I still have a dream that emerges in every sleepless night, a dream that I can't let go of despite the countless expectations in my heart.

As long as I see you, I have power.In order to protect the world with you, 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.Maybe it's too late, but I have unshakable courage by your side.

"Guffy!"

She hurried to catch up, wanting to tightly grasp the familiar and warm big hand, and quietly hide all the nostalgia, dependence and expectation in the palm of her hand——

Will you kiss me quietly while I'm not paying attention~
……

Griffith looked up at the distant sky, the color of the sky and the earth soaked in grief and blood has faded, the disturbance and noise of that night have disappeared, and the melody like a dream is so silent.Sorrowful scenes are all turned into light, and even tears and blood drops are like gems.

The bright autumn wind is like a heart-beating chord, and the loud and clear echoes in the field are high above all the sadness and unchangeable past.

Griffith turned around and stood dazed.

Everything reflected in your eyes is the real world...

Everything so far was for such a sad fate.Tears and prayers will not keep you here.Then play tomorrow with swords and guns in the pouring torrent.

Perhaps, there is still happiness and hope waiting for us.

He walked across the cold flowing stream and came to Christa and hugged her tightly.

The girl pushed his shoulder hard, but was melted by the irresistible force and warmth.

……

Griffith took the girl's hand and walked past the stream.He thought over and over again, but still didn't know how to speak, where to start:

"How are you?"

What kind of talk is this~
Krista leaned on his arm and responded softly, "Yeah."

He looked up and looked forward: "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?"

Silence and heartache tormented Griffith, which was unbearable: "I lost a lot of memories about you."

"Oh?" The apologetic words slowly dissipated the solemn atmosphere, and Krista's worried brows also eased.She raised her fist and knocked on his breastplate: "Excuse me."

Both of them laughed lightly.Krista pressed, "Then what do you remember?"

"The promotion to the second-level squad leader and the time before the party, and you taught me to dance, and the final battle." Griffith said.

Christa leaned on his shoulder, and raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "You don't even check your identity, maybe I'm a monster? I'll eat you in one bite."

"Well, this..." Griffith walked slowly, feeling his throat was choked and unable to speak, "I'm about to become a knight, and now I'm a third-level assault squadron leader, and I bought my own house by the sea !The key is still hidden in the same place."

"I'll climb over the wall, and if you lock the door, I'll break the door down," Krista said, tugging at the straps on his breastplate. "There's no end to it."

"I hope it will be longer. When we get back to the barracks, the Saintess of Anjou will be very busy."

"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 key words will attract His attention and vigilance."

"So... I gotta ask something, do something."

"I am resurrected by His power to serve His will. In this sad land, the time of eclipse is approaching," Krista said, "I heard that you and Captain Erza are in Rui Wen fought. Have you heard about the local church situation?"

Griffith nodded: "I already have clues. After seeing you, I already know what happened."

Christa considered the words: "Occasionally, I can hear His will. The Anjou girl is my identity and an inescapable mission. I will bring miracles to the world in the name of the Holy Light. I once wanted to find you , however, there is a lot of resistance.

"It's the only time I can be Christa again."

They crossed a creek, and after a short walk they could return to the camp and return to the track of fate.Griffith jumped onto the bank and held out his hand to Krista.

The girl held his hand silently.She saw the camp ahead, and sadness and despair appeared in her blue eyes again.

The two stared at each other in silence, and she suddenly threw herself into the knight's arms: "Geffe, please, kill me, right now. I can feel that once I return to the disciples of the Holy Light, I will be Will be a Maiden of Anjou."

"Krista, if, if His will is fulfilled, what will happen to you?"

"I am His creation. When the dust settles, I should return to silence."

"I see," Griffith gave a stiff smile, "That would just kill him. Well, it sounds pretty straightforward."

The girl anxiously wanted to refute, but her pretty cheeks were lifted up, and her strong fingers caressed her cherry red lips, like an electric current hitting her soul directly.She wanted to say something, but the fiery kiss blocked her words deeply.

……

When he returned to the reinforcement barracks, Griffith had calmed down from the initial shock and panic.

Scattered information has been concatenated.The moment he met Christa, Griffith realized that she was a miracle prepared by the Outer Gods for this world.Yes, not an ordinary saint, but a miracle.

She was trained by Raven Church as a candidate saint.Because of the adjustment of the canon, her training work was stopped halfway, and Raven, who was consuming a lot of resources, also lost power because of this.The Holy See of the Holy Light noticed that Raven was walking alone, imposed severe punishment and destroyed the files.What Griffith found the night after the battle at Revan was some undestroyed material.

In the ensuing war, she unfortunately died.The threads of life in the Void Realm noticed the existence and sacrifice of Christa, and drove the Deathrattle Order to obtain her body or other information that could establish a connection.Although she is dead, she can still respond to the sealed item "The Call of the Ancestor".

The empty box with a strange smell on the clipper to Neopolis may be the container where Krista was placed.

Neopolis was the first attempt to weave life in the Void, but it failed due to the intervention of the Creator of the Void. Based on some mystical factors, Elodi unfortunately became the queen of the infected, spreading mutations , absorb life.

With the lessons learned from this failure, on the one hand, the Void's Life Wisp cooperated with Verona's rebellion; Get up and revive Christa.

Then, she was sent to the border of Odessa by the order to resist the invasion of the orcs as a saint and gained a reputation in the crisis.There, Clariant, the former Bishop of Riven who had lost power, may have provided cooperation.He may have doubts and fears, but in the end he will cooperate with the evil god's plan intentionally or unintentionally, otherwise, he will not obtain the status of Odessa.

Since Bishop Clariant is the minion of the Outer Gods, the mysterious world of Odessa and the supernatural beings should be more or less involved in it!They may be implementing the arrangements of the Outer Gods, or they may be valuing the miracle and political value of the saint.Either way, the result appears to be pushing Krista toward the prince.

However, what is the Holy See doing?Even if other people don't realize that this is a conspiracy of life weaving, the Holy See should know that the Anjou girl is not the embodiment 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 See of the Holy Light discovered signs of lonesome and conspiracy in the diocese of Odessa, it was already inconvenient to adopt obvious countermeasures.

It was clear, then, what Griffith found himself trying to do.

The first option is to kill Krista.No matter what the evil god's next plan is, as long as he destroys his agent in the world, can he still tear through the barrier of the plane by himself?

He tried, but couldn't.

The second plan is to directly destroy the plan of the fabric of life.Odessa's mysterious powers may also be enemies, and that will bring them down as well.

Can this be done?
The enemy is stronger than imagined, but Griffith is not fighting alone.The Seven Gods, especially the Holy Light, will not allow the Outer Gods to lay out conspiracies in the name of their own saints. Odessa also has Byelan's army. If you really want to do something, the Outer Gods who are blocked in the void may not There is a chance.

There is still much to be done.Maybe I can keep Krista...

"Praise the Holy Light!"

The tide of cheers suddenly interrupted Griffith's thinking.

As soon as Krista returned to the barracks, paladins and priests rushed to his side.

Lansada, Ace and Joshua were also among them. They were all wounded, and they came to Krista's side ecstatically, saluted her and paid high respects.

"May the Holy Light bring joyful blessings to you."

Christa, who was trembling in Griffith's arms not long ago, disappeared.Appearing in front of everyone is a saint who is so brilliant that people can't look directly at it.

She was as holy and beautiful as the morning light, just raised her hand to caress Lansada's forehead, and the latter's injury healed quickly.She walked past the exhausted soldiers, all of them were enveloped in a gushing passion and strength, and the pain and sorrow were swept away.

The maiden of Anjou is nothing short of a walking miracle.She does not need to chant or pray, and blessings and healing come to believers who have just experienced scars.

"Praise the Holy Light!"

"Praise the saint!"

Innumerable ordinary people, weeping bitterly, gathered from all directions to kiss her gauntlets and greaves with awe and reverence.They were disheveled and emaciated, and they looked like refugees who had been surrounded by her in Pierrefonds.

The scene got out of control for a while, Lansada and other believers in the army hurriedly gathered around the saint for protection, and Berthier had to send a squadron of soldiers to maintain order.

Griffith finally squeezed out of the crowd and came to his own side.

Lieutenant Lien and others actually found the lost Hanguang and Judgment, cleaned them and returned them to him: "We found it when we were searching the cliff, and it was easy to find it with the help of the young wizard, but we didn't see you and Holy Maiden. We are okay, we don’t think you are so easy to hang up, believers don’t think so, if the Holy Maiden doesn’t come back, this place should get out of control.”

"kindness."

Griffith just responded, looking solemnly at the crowd cheering around Christa.

……

"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 Beyonders of the paladin path and priest path in Storm Squadron seemed to be hysterical.

"Me? I'm the same as the captain." Desai muttered.

"How is it like the captain?"

"I believe in a little bit of every god, no more and no less." Desai looked at Lansada, who had changed into a nun's uniform and breastplate, and then at Karen, who was also standing outside the crowd. For the sake of the priestess or the nun, it is not impossible for me to believe more..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth, put his feet together, and stood upright.Griffith and Lean walked towards them: "Call the people in the squadron who can move. Let's take the saint to Teutoburg."

"Is it so hasty? Are you still bringing the saint?" Lean was a little surprised. "The battlefield has not been cleaned, and the prisoners have not been screened. There are many people from the Holy Light's religious order and refugees who need to be resettled, and they are likely to follow the saint. .”

"That's right, that's right," the prospective knight nodded, "I will contact Berthier and Dedius and ask their troops to stay and resettle these refugees. I will ask the countess to coordinate the garrisons and towns along the way to cooperate." We march."

……

Galadia came to the quiet garden and sat down on the soft and fine grass.

After Griffith left, Ms. Aviana recalled her to Yalan under her own protection due to safety concerns.Without strict school rules, the soft and silky short skirt made her very comfortable, allowing her to think wildly every day.

The happiest thing is to read Griffith's letter.This idiot is like writing a staff report, reporting his knowledge and experience in detail, and commenting on the nearby terrain from time to time, saying, "If there is an ambush there, we will definitely be caught off guard."

Occasionally, the quasi-knight will have a flash of inspiration, revealing longing and tenderness between the lines.The quick-thinking elf captured the key information and happily rolled around on the grass.

However, there are still too few pleasant words after all...

Hey, you idiot~ Blame me, blame me, for not training 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 the marching state, could not send letters in time, which would reveal the whereabouts of the army. He could only send out letters after a few days of saving when he arrived at a big city or camped near the mage tower.

After the undead creature attack in Odessa, Griffith hadn't received a letter for several days, and probably rushed somewhere with the army.Galadia was going crazy waiting, and then suddenly received a lot of letters in one day.

According to Yalan's information, Griffith seems to have won a huge victory. He marched at an incredible speed, and like a famous general in history, he defeated the army of more than 3000 clan alliances and saved tens of thousands of refugees. It's amazing. what!After this war is over, he will definitely become a knight...

I have to decorate the hut on Huayue Street. When he comes back, hehe, hehehe!Galadia buried her head in her arms and kept laughing. She kicked the books next to her feet twice with her smooth feet and hid them in the pile of books.

Calm down, hoo--!Be decent.

Miss Elf sat up and began to read the new letters, which were accumulated for ten days. It was as exciting as waking up to find that the author who hadn't 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 paper with a smile all over her face, and saw the first line——

"Krista and I arrived in Teutoburg..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Galadia was dumbfounded.

Calm down, hallucination hallucinations, I must miss Griffith too much, even hallucinations appeared, ha ha.

She rubbed her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked again carefully.

"Krista and I arrived in Teutoburg..."

what--!what happened? !Krista, is that Krista?Why do characters that have already left the scene still appear?
Galadia's heart broke when she saw the name.She jumped up with a whoosh, ran out of the garden, and broke into Ms. Aviana's conference room like the wind.

The leader of the Yalan Senate was discussing the agenda with a group of big shots when his daughter broke through the door.

"Mommy mommy!"

Ms. Aviana raised her hand and stopped her panicked daughter with a smile: "Let me guess, what do you want——

"Well, I get it, come on, let's go pick out a Noble Phantasm of Mass Destruction."
