Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Not only the witches had their hopes rekindled, but Anderson and Alcardo also immediately focused their attention on the faces of these two men.

They looked closely at the circular scar on Griffith's neck. Was this scar actually inflicted on Griffith by Ye He? Did he actually cut off Griffith's head?
"First of all, you asked me to do this. I'm not a swordsman, so I asked Guts to do it. Didn't you agree to this?"

But as soon as Ye He opened his mouth, the plot that the onlookers were looking forward to was "stillborn".

"Secondly," Ye He didn't pay attention to the gazes of others, but looked at Griffith's current figure and asked Griffith curiously:
"If I'm not mistaken... Isn't the body you are using Guts right now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two witches and the two gentlemen in the corner immediately pricked up their ears!

"You recognized him? Was it because of Guts' curse tattoos?"

Griffith stroked the tattoo on his arm with a nostalgic look on his face, and then asked Ye He helplessly:

“This is something I cannot understand. You can behead me if you want, because I was infected by the blood followers. But why do you want to bury my head and body separately?

Also, when I regained consciousness, I found that I was left with only a head, just this head... and it was held by Guts, who was about to die, and was buried with him in the rubble.

Did you know that I almost passed out for the second time because of Gus' body odor? "

“The Anti-Rebel Alliance is responsible for disposing of your body. You know, I never officially joined the Alliance.

I have no idea what happened after you were beheaded. Maybe they were afraid that you could reunite with the corpse and be resurrected after being transformed into a blood disciple?

As for why Guts brought your head with him..."

At this point, Ye He touched his chin, took a step back, and then answered Griffith:

"Maybe Gus has always had a crush on you? I remember he and you have always had a very good relationship?"

"Shut up! You should know that I have always been a man. It's true that Gus and I are close friends, but we both like women!"

Griffith almost rushed up to beat Ye He up, but his reason allowed him to calmly explain his orientation.

"Gus..."

Griffith touched his chest, which was the body of the other man Guts that he and Ye He mentioned.

"He was already dying, and he only had time to tell me two things: the war was over, and... he was willing to give me his body, as long as I didn't live as a non-human...

This is very much his style, isn't it? Although he is always furious in battle, his mind is still simple and delicate. Even if he doesn't talk much, he always takes care of the feelings of those around him..."

Listening to Griffith's memories, Ye He also recalled a strong black-haired man with the same hairstyle as himself.

That was when Ye He had just traveled through time, and he fell into the war zone between the empire and the rebels. He was confused and didn't know which side to help.

The "Anti-Rebel Alliance" force, led by Griffith and with Guts as the main force, was fighting against the rebels. It was at this time that they met Ye He in a tavern in a small town.

Ye He was penniless at the time and was too lazy to earn money. After all, once a small town like this was dragged into the war front, it would be wiped out in the blink of an eye. He was too lazy to pay these people who were waiting to die and were unwilling to leave their hometown!

Griffith was impressed by Ye He's strength and lent him money for accommodation and wine, hoping to win him over.

But only Gus could see at a glance that Ye He was a "war orphan" who had been away from home since childhood, had no fixed place to live, and only "made a living" by following war and violence.

"If you feel like you have no home, you can build one for yourself. Those who have power will always have a place to stay."

This was the only sentence Gus said to Ye He. It was this sentence that gave Ye He the idea of ​​establishing the "Continental Hotel", his own power, which is also a "home away from home".

Ye He was neither grateful for Griffith's solicitation and debt to him, nor was he grateful for Guts's kindness.

He is not that kind of person.

But Griffith and Guts can indeed be recognized by Ye He as "friends".

After a few seconds of silence with Griffith and remembering Guts, Ye He took out a premium admission ticket and handed it to Griffith.

"Want to play? It'll be fun."

"Oh? Don't you want to ask me what I'm here for?"

Griffith took the ticket without even looking at it, but asked Ye He with a smile.

"It doesn't matter. You've become stronger now, but I've become stronger too, Blood Knight... If Anna doesn't agree to go with you, no one can take her away from me."

Ye He did not forget the "Blood Knight" that Griffith had just mentioned, and he had heard of the name of the "Blood Knight" through Floy a long time ago.

Different from ancient knights like the Ice Knight, this one-word "Knight" is closer to "Savior Knights" like the "Pale" Knight Krent and the "Dark" Knight Bruce.

But unlike Krent and Bruce, Ye He doubted that the "Blood Knight" had always been in its complete form.

That is to say... the kind of person who can be the enemy of the world, but can also easily save the world, a ruthless character who is even better than the righteous gods!

The pollution of the blood followers, the blood knights, the power of these guys comes from the real moon, which is the [Corrupted Blood Moon] obscured by the Moon Goddess.

Griffith's eyes turned red, and he claimed to have inherited the power of the Blood Knight?
Ye He connected these clues together and quickly concluded that Griffith's real purpose in coming to Cedarville was to take away Anna, the [Descendant of the Corrupted Blood Moon].

So he stated his judgment to Griffith in advance and expressed his position.

Even though the [Corrupted Blood Moon] might also belong to the realm of fallen gods and was closely related to the "fallen" old gods that have emerged recently, Ye He did not think that now was a good time for Anna to accept her true identity.

"No, no, no, I am here to settle accounts with you. His Highness the Son of God is safe with you. We all know this."

But Griffith rejected Ye He's idea outright. He smiled and shook his head, explaining to Ye He:

“You should know better than us that the aura of the Fallen God Realm is invading this world together with the Abyss, but Lord [Son of God] should not belong to those corrupted ones.

Her personal opinion is the most important thing, and we, like you, think that now is not the time to let her face her own fate."

Finally, Griffith took a quick look at Ye He and jokingly reminded him:
"You will kill me."

Who will I kill?

Ye He raised his eyebrows. Griffith's "joke" sounded like it was talking about himself. Didn't he think he could survive if he became an enemy of Ye He?

But there is also a possibility that Griffith was not talking about himself, but... Anna? !

Will Anna be killed by Ye He?

Although Ye He often does this...but in fact, Ye He still has a good impression of his own bishop.

Not everyone can find someone who is willing to work hard, write reports for you, and... ahem, in short, Ye He doesn't mind continuing his current relationship with Anna. But just when Ye He was about to nod to Griffith and end the meeting tonight...

He suddenly frowned and turned around, looking in the direction of Sedawell from a distance of several kilometers.

Then, without saying a word, he created a silver ripple, swung out a chain and hooked a missile that whizzed out of the ripple, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

"boom!"

A few seconds later, a loud explosion caused by a missile explosion was heard from the destination that Yehe had arrived at.

"Oh my... He wasn't that anxious before."

Griffith nodded to the two witches with a satisfied look on his face, then turned and walked in another direction.

After taking a few steps, he stretched out his hand without looking back and snapped his fingers towards Anderson and Alcardo.

"Snapped!"

"Crash!"

“Ding-ling-dang!”

The priest broke free from his restraints and stood up together with the vampire. Many weapons fell from the priest's body to the ground, almost burying the priest's feet.

Alcardo recovered the ability to transform into a blood tide. While recovering his body, he also restored the blood thorns that pierced his body, which were part of his ability.

What's a bit embarrassing is that a few minutes before Ye He arrived with the witches, as soon as they encountered Griffith, they were "instantly killed" and suppressed by their own weapons.

Even though they had personally come into contact with Griffith's power, neither of them understood what kind of abilities this handsome man with the filthy aura of a bloodthirsty man possessed.

...Forget it. They didn't have the courage to continue to cause trouble for Griffith tonight. After looking at each other, they decided to go to the outskirts of Cedarville to continue their daily "duel" as usual.

Finally, only two witches were left in the alley. After a brief silence, [Prince Disorder] turned his head and looked at [Prince Mean].

Whether it's the "plan to show Ye He the way to meet old friends" or "arranging for Griffith to fight with Ye He"... things that require thinking among the Witches of Disaster are basically done by [Despicable Prince].

"Don't look at me like that. I've been fooled too. Hahahaha..."

[Despicable Prince] laughed without any psychological burden. In a sense, she was very similar to Morgana, who symbolized "malice". Whether it was plotting or being used by others, it didn't seem to be a bad thing for her.

……

half a minute ago.

"What is this? A monster?"

Anna, who was hiding in the street corner under the protection of Jenata, was looking ahead in panic.

A giant beast emitting a strong stench suddenly jumped out of the sewer and attacked the carriage they were riding in.

Weasley, who was Anna's coachman, was thrown into a closed shop. His head hit the thick door hard, causing him to faint.

But fortunately he lost consciousness. If he had seen with his own eyes that his favorite horse, Miss Grager, was having her spine chewed up by the monster, he would have rushed forward in madness and committed suicide.

"That's what I was just trying to tell you, Bishop Anna."

Jenada pursed her lips, suppressing the surprise that was about to show on her face.

She explained to Anna in a serious tone:

"Because the majesty of the scorching sun has been challenged by... you also understand, more and more monsters of this kind have begun to appear in places where the sun and moonlight cannot reach directly!
We need to unite and concentrate the power of the blazing sun and the moon to purge the filth born from the dark land!"

"boom!"

Before Anna could react to Jenada's words, Yehe's missile arrived.

The flames and shock waves that shot up into the sky engulfed the monster and the wreckage of the carriage, and soon all the shadows disappeared in the flames.

Ye He, who landed in front of Jenada and Anna, pointed at the flames and asked Jenada in confusion:

"Your arrangement?"

"Of course not! They've already invaded the sewers of Cedarville!"

Jenada blushed and quickly explained herself to Ye He.

In fact, Ye He did not doubt her, he just asked casually. If it was really a monster arranged by Jenada, given her relationship with Ye He, she would at least tell Ye He.

“…This is interesting.”

Ye He did not continue to question Jenada, but turned around and looked at a big hole that appeared on the street surface.

The sewer outlet that was originally located at this position, along with the surrounding road surface, had been blown into the living room of a nearby house by the monster that rushed out from the ground.

A section of a cylindrical sewer with a large opening cut off was exposed to the air. Ye He could see that the foul-smelling dirty water was about to fill the entire sewer.

What puzzled Ye He was the sewer that was about to be filled. There was a big river next to Saidawell, and the sewage of the entire city would be discharged into the lower reaches of the river.

And it hasn't rained recently, so the city shouldn't be so "full" of sewage.

Is something blocking the drain?

Or could it be that these monsters, which cannot even provide divine power points to Ye He but have the individual strength of mid- to high-level monsters, have their lair somewhere in the sewer near the water outlet?

In any case, this situation is worth Ye He to figure out tonight. He doesn't want the entire city to be suddenly filled with backflowing sewage and terrifying monsters after the auction starts tomorrow.

"Ye He, have you figured out what's wrong? That monster just now... it's not a demon, right? Archon Jenada said it's related to the decline of the church's influence."

Anna, unable to discern Jenada's true intentions, chose to obtain information through Ye He.

Fortunately, Jenata was originally from Yehe, and she was the one who facilitated Yue Zhihui's agreement to cooperate with Lieyang, which was something Jenata had already mentioned to Yehe a long time ago.

So facing Jenada's expectant and pleading gaze, Ye He shrugged at Anna:

"Who knows? I'd rather have some new evil god come out and play with me."
