Blood tax

Chapter 410 Amber is right, no wonder she never forgets you!

1 month 30 day.

The monster attack that happened last night shocked the entire town. A large number of curfew-enforced military police and Extraordinary squads were dispatched to search the streets and houses, and opened the sewer entrance to encircle and suppress the monsters inside.

There are now only a few hours left before the Winter Parliament.The attack killed many representatives of citizens from other provinces. For the safety of other participants, the meeting should be temporarily adjourned and held at another time.

Although the sewers in Bremi Town are not as large as the underground works in Bayerland City, they cannot be cleared in a short period of time.Concentrating search forces will inevitably weaken the control and security forces on the ground, which means that the security work of the Winter Council will face challenges.

However, according to the news received by Griffith, the officials seem to be impatient to hold a meeting, and there is no intention of backing down.

In other words, the importance of the upcoming meeting has reached the point where it is worth taking risks with the elders, the Arcane Council, and representatives of citizens everywhere.

Griffith booked a suite in a nearby hotel, and asked the waiters to prepare a bathtub of hot water, bring canned yellow peaches and mead, and prepare to rest for a few hours.

Roland said - "There will be a storm in Bayeran."

The Senate and the Arcane Council couldn't wait to hold a meeting.

A painter suspected of being the Hand of God is picking candidates for the impending crisis.

Many clues are intertwined, all indicating that a drastic change is imminent.

Griffith lay down in the hot water, breathing comfortably.The intense tension and uneasiness consumed a lot of energy in him, but he didn't know how to guard against it and where to start.

The hot water wrapped him, relieving the fatigue of his brain, and an indescribable comfort spread throughout his body.Soon, he fell into a hazy sleep, struggled to wipe his body, and lay down on the bed.

In a trance, he dreamed of Minos, the bone ring, and then he saw the figure of Neferti.Griffith was still a little conscious, feeling that dreaming of a girl other than Galadia wasn't faithful enough.

As soon as this idea came up, Neferti's image became ethereal.Naira and Prince Commodus came to his mind.

What they were talking about, their voices were so soft that they couldn't be heard clearly.Griffith in his sleep was extremely curious and wanted to get closer.Immediately afterwards, he actually got closer to the two people in the conversation and heard some conversations.

"I've finished the arrangement, Your Highness, you will get the opportunity you've been dreaming of, and it's up to you whether you can seize it."

"Why should I trust you, devil? Your head is what I want," the prince drew out his glorious holy sword, and shouted in a deep voice, "I will never betray my country."

"First of all, it must be you, the country, hehe, since you still have illusions, you might as well open your eyes after returning from the sacrifice of the chosen one, and you will accept the reality."

This video came and went in a hurry, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.Griffith shuddered and woke up from his sleep.

He looked at the timer, and it was getting close to the six o'clock position of the chosen one.After the unstable crystal of the Emblem of the Chosen One is handed over to Galadia, he cannot be positioned, nor will he be positioned by the Chosen One who participated in the battle.

Having said that, it seems that there was no fierce battle last night, no strong spiritual energy fluctuations... Griffith stood up, wrapped a towel and walked to the reception room, ready to eat some dessert, and conceived the next action.

Canned yellow peaches and mead are on the table in the living room, so no one will disturb you, so you have to enjoy it.I have used my brain too much during this period, which is not good for my health. Well, a piece of yellow peach can solve this problem and calm me down.

If one piece is not enough, then two pieces...

"Dangdang!"

The moment he opened the door, Griffith heard a sound, as if something had fallen to the ground.

He was taken aback, and was about to put on a posture, but saw Elusa stretching her mature lines on the couch beside the empty table, and beckoning to him: "Good morning, my dear little minion!"

"..." Griffith looked around, "Where's my canned yellow peach?"

"I haven't seen you for a few days, you have developed a new hobby~" Erza wiped her mouth and said with a smile, "How do you feel about wearing women's clothes?"

"Where's my canned yellow peaches?"

"Hey~ you, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I took care of your elf lady, so you have nothing else to say to me?"

"Where's my canned yellow peach?" Griffith turned around and went back to the room, put on his clothes, and reached out to grab Hanguang to judge him.

"Tsk tsk~" Erza leaned against the door, looking at the knight's back, "The lines are good, Amber is right, no wonder she never forgets you!"

Griffith hurriedly interrupted her: "Is there something difficult for you to come to me?"

Erza's eyes lit up: "I need a good meal and your company."

"Please speak human language."

"I've been moving all night, I need to eat something delicious, and I need your cover for the rest of the time."

"Isn't it good to say that from the beginning~" Griffith rang the bell to call for the waiter, and ordered a basket of croissants, honey, roast capon and hot chocolate.

The two sat around the table.Griffith spread honey on the bread and asked a question he's always been curious about:
"Why are you also the chosen one?"

The selected ones all have extraordinary family background and inheritance. Erza is indeed amazing and talented, but as far as Griffith knows, she is not a nobleman, let alone a famous family.It can't be the runaway princess...

Just as Griffith was thinking, the huntress turned sideways, almost leaning on his shoulder, and the pleasant warm breath touched his earlobe, and the heavy oppression made Griffith breathless.

In his second year of service in the East, Griffith's unit had a new squadron leader.The fiery red hair, heroic appearance, and curves full of power and maturity are as dazzling as the Valkyrie in the story, making people afraid to look directly at them.

The 16-year-old petty officer's throat felt like it was on fire.A strange feeling fermented in his heart, making him both in awe and yearning.

The index finger lightly slid across Griffith's jaw, and hooked up:
"Secrets make women more feminine."

"..." Griffith felt a burst of fire coming from his heart, and he didn't want to eat the honey bread. "So, what have you been doing recently?"

"According to the regulations," Ersha has no reservations about this question. "After serving in the combat force, grassroots officers need to participate in higher-level training in colleges when they are promoted to the middle and senior command ranks. While serving as an instructor, I will complete the two-year advanced command course. This summer, I will be able to serve as the commander of the assault group. With my status as a superhuman, I can become the banner captain before the age of 30.

"Griffith, you will be like this in a few years."

This is really fast enough, and Professor Heinz has been serving as the flag captain for a long time.Griffith secretly admired.From this point of view, it won't be long before Erza can serve as the person in charge of military affairs in one direction, and be on her own.

"Compared to this, you should be more concerned about what wishes I want to achieve through the sacrifice of the chosen one."

"Huh?" Griffith didn't expect this.

"The states and backgrounds of the chosen ones are different, but there is one thing in common," Ersha said, "Only with a strong obsession and the will to turn a certain wish into reality can the gods watch and gain Qualifications. The prince is like this, the elf who is always denying is like this, I am like this, and your elf lady is like this. Without exception, we all have a wish that must be fulfilled."

Is that right?Griffith was taken aback.

He couldn't even imagine what kind of desire Galadia would have, so strong that it could attract the attention of God.
