Chapter 25 The Chance Appearance of Monsieur Dants and Mademoiselle Haidee
To the east of the Sea of Tranquility, there is a hundred-mile-long rift trench between the Sebasto region and the eastern continent. Although it is remote, it is not uninhabited. There is an endless stream of fishing fleets and survey teams venturing to the Sea of Chaos.
Appearing on the side of the Serenity Sea, it gradually attracted merchants, taverns and postmen, forming a small town-sized gathering place in a relatively safe location.
The trench seemed to have been split open by a god holding a sword. On both sides of the bottomless fissure were cliffs standing thousands of feet tall, stretching straight into the desolate distance. The terrain for dozens of miles north and south of the trench rose sharply. Black mountains grew at the foot of the mountains.
There are birches and ancient oak trees, and the slopes are covered with pine and fir trees. The snow on the top of the mountain never melts all year round, sometimes showing a golden-red light under the dusk, making it look like the palace of the gods in legend. The continuous snow-capped peaks are a perfect backdrop for the scenery.
Almost insurmountable for flying creatures, rapids of melted snow rushed down through narrow cracks in the cliffs, meeting head-on waves and salty waves.
This is the edge of the world. The closer you get to the Sea of Chaos, the more mysterious and unpredictable it becomes.
The end of the rift is a fan-shaped reef sea that is large in the west and small in the east, a small part of the boundless sea of chaos. To the east of the long and sloping coast and the sandy beaches stretching north and south is the dangerous sea area with countless reefs and islands. Broken
The landscape is like torn debris, scattered in pieces in the endless sea.
Griffith still knows this geographical knowledge. The Eastern battlefield he fought on is on the continent south of the Sea of Chaos. After crossing the snow-capped mountains in the south, you can return to the bloody and desolate battlefield. Thinking of this, he not only issued a
A shiver came from the depths of my soul.
If you leave the dangerous reef sea and head north, it is said that you can reach the extremely remote ice sheet and frozen soil. There are many ancient and mysterious ethnic groups living in seclusion there. They guard the waterway to the east, but few people see it with their own eyes.
"This rift is the only entrance and exit between the Sea of Tranquility and the Sea of Chaos. Legend has it that beneath the rugged sea surface, there lies a ruin that we know very little about." Alandel regained some strength and hid behind a tree to get wet.
"Before this operation, Roland contacted me. According to him, a powerful ally made a prophecy. Exploring with you will help resist my destiny. Otherwise,
I just threw you into the sea, hum!"
Um……
This is a lot of information. Griffith noticed that Alandel holds a flintlock gun similar to that of Convict, and must have a close relationship with Roland. But who is a powerful ally?
"Who is this ally?"
"Roland didn't say," Alandel shook her head. "He is the Riddler. But in the near future, we will know who he is?"
"So, even you who are good at traveling in the ocean don't know what's hidden in the ocean?" Griffith glanced at Alandel's flawless and smooth back, and quickly looked away. The long fish tail
It had disappeared and turned back into straight legs.
"Yes, there is an astonishing aura entrenched in the darkness of the Chaos Sea, and its mystery is unfathomable.
"The seawater there is full of dangers. Some people have seen huge tentacles that are raging wildly, with enough power to crush all rocks and ships. They will appear suddenly, and the density is terrifying. My people call the trench to the west the 'Abyss'
Throat', coming to this sea area is like sending yourself into the stomach of a monster. In the past thousand years, many adventurers have tried to explore many times. The luckiest survivors kept silent, and the others also lost their minds.
, muttering vague and broken messages all day long.”
At this time, a dangerous inspiration suddenly touched Griffith and grabbed his neck along the back.
He is the best armored cavalry and a prestigious knight. Even if he is among hundreds of enemies, he will not be afraid or panicked. However, at this moment, Griffith felt a bone-gnawing fear.
There was a fishy smell, and evil as damp as mud was surging beneath his feet, sending the coldness of the north wind upwards.
"Look over there!" Alandel was the first to notice the abnormality. She hurried out holding the clothes she had not yet put on and pointed to the coast in the distance.
An astonishing scene appeared before my eyes.
The ghost ship moored on the shore actually opened a terrifying mouth. The Odessa wizards who were supposed to flee inland appeared here. There were not many of them, but Professor Lafayette, Professor Julian, and Pa.
All the Torion knights were there, and there were a few well-armed people beside him that I had never seen before.
They surrounded the calm and calm Naira, and dragged the frightened and reluctant Neferti out of the darkness. Then, the ghost ship slowly set sail and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Why are they here?" Griffith was extremely shocked. There are magic and abilities that can carry out space teleportation, but the conditions for arrangement and use are extremely harsh. Only Sequence 7 spellcasters and extraordinary beings can become targets.
"It is very likely that there are relics of the breath left by the outer gods hidden here," Alandel whispered. "It is not surprising that the sealed objects of the gods have space capabilities. The Odessa people should have arrived here through the power of this ghost ship.
.”
Griffith couldn't help but hesitate.
He did not bring a lot of powerful equipment with him. Although he was supported by two swords and two magic rings, he was still very powerful. However, the enemy in front of him was a powerful team led by several senior extraordinary beings, and there were some previously unknown information.
When people appear, they may encounter fatal danger if they are not careful.
Just when he was thinking about how to observe from a distance without being discovered, Alandel suddenly patted his head: "Knight, let me put some makeup on you."
"Make up? Now? Why?!"
"We need to get close to them and explore the ruins with them!" Alandel made an amazing suggestion enthusiastically, "Don't be nervous, I had relevant plans when I took you to leave the Brunhil. My family
I am in charge of a powerful sealed artifact that has been inherited, which can guarantee the silent infiltration, leave it to me!"
Emmm…
Griffith looked at the girl who was not fully clothed and became deeply suspicious.
"Alaindel."
"Why, are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid, I just want to make sure that the infiltration you mentioned is really infiltration without being discovered, right?" Griffith clapped the sword in his hand, "It's definitely not the kind of swaggering over, the first time
The kind of infiltration that involves being discovered and then taking action to cut all enemies to the ground."
Alandel looked at Griffith with her eyes wide open for a while, even standing on tiptoes, covering herself with clothes with one hand, and touching his forehead with the other: "I don't think normal people can do such a thing."
…
It is indeed unacceptable to evacuate like this. The secrets of Naira, Neferti and the fabric of life in the virtual world are close at hand. The existence of evil has extended its tentacles to this world, and it is only a matter of time before he comes again. Griffith
Si is destined to confront them again. If he does not want to repeat the previous tragedy, he must collect as much intelligence as possible and make plans for future battles.
Griffith nodded and agreed that Alandel would take charge of the next action.
The captain first took out the kettle she carried with her and gave Griffith a small amount of strange-tasting tea. Then she took out the magic materials and cosmetic bag she carried with her and dressed up the knight.
Her makeup bag is very unique. It is a small shell, with intricate and delicate makeup separated into sections.
Griffith stood quietly while Alandel dressed him up, feeling a strange and indescribable feeling. Sonia had dressed him before, and the touch left by her delicate fingers made people feel itchy.
However, Miss Captain's technique was different. Griffith could clearly feel that his skin had wrinkles, and his nose was pointed and long. His eyes, ears and lips seemed to be growing.
This strange feeling lasted for about a quarter of an hour.
"Okay, please express your thoughts!" Alandel panted, using magic to condense a small mirror, "very precious and rare materials are boiled and refined. These are the effects of my favorite sealed item 'Sweet Foundation'
.The appearance-changing effect can last for 12 hours.”
"Only 12 hours?"
"Of course, if it were so easy to change one's appearance, there would be no ugly people in this world. We can just touch up the makeup when the time comes."
Griffith was surprised to find that he had become a man between thirty-eight and forty years old. His face was as pale as if he had just escaped from a tomb that had never seen the light of day, but his beauty made Beyeland the most picky.
The countess will be very satisfied after seeing it; her eyes are sparkling and strong, as if they are penetrating; her nose is straight, almost flush with her forehead, and it is a nose with impeccable southern aesthetics.
After dressing up her companions, Alandel chanted a magic spell and transformed her uniform into something unrecognizable like the fairy in the story.
She didn't change her appearance, but after changing her clothes, makeup and hairstyle, she was a completely different person. She was wearing a pair of silk pants with a white background embroidered with pink roses, revealing two small and exquisite feet. If it weren't for this
Her two feet were playing with a pair of small slippers inlaid with gold pearls, which might be mistaken for being carved from marble. She was wearing a blue and white striped short shirt that exposed her shoulders. The cuffs were short and only reached her elbows.
Silver thread piping and pearl buttons are bold enough to make your heart beat faster; a vest is worn over the blouse, with a heart-shaped gap in the front, revealing the ivory-like neck and the upper part of the chest, and the lower end is locked with three diamond buttons
Live. There is a thin belt tied around the slender waist.
She spun around in circles and, satisfied with her outfit, she tied up her long, thick black straight hair and draped it over her smooth left shoulder.
"Newlywed wives all have such hairstyles! It will be more convenient when serving their husbands~" Alandel said, leaning over and holding Griffith's arm, squeezing her face with a scared expression, "No one
I recognize you. From now on, you are Mr. Dantès, a wealthy businessman in the South. He was shipwrecked on his honeymoon trip with his newlywed wife, Miss Haidee, who was twenty years younger than him. After his smart and magical wife
With help, we escaped from the most dangerous sea area, but we lost all our servants and luggage and were in urgent need of help."
She raised her chin at Griffith with an expression as if she was about to praise me:
"I am Haidee~
"The daughter of Baron Balando. Don't worry, this is an identity under the control of my family. No one can see the problem. Leave it to me to communicate with them later!"
Griffith looked at the captain in amazement.
She is an outstanding beauty, with exquisite appearance, outstanding grace, and impeccable elegance. Any man who sees her will be unforgettable. The beauty on her face comes from the warm and spring-filled south, which is big and beautiful.
Her dark, watery eyes, cute nose, coral-like red lips, and pearl-like teeth naturally combine her with the image of a young girl who has just become a newlywed wife.
"Are you sure I won't be found out?" Griffith still didn't quite understand. "How come there is a newlywed couple in the wilderness who doesn't look easy to meet? How can it not arouse suspicion?"
"The other sealed artifact I carry will strengthen their identification with us." Alandel put a pearl necklace on her swan-like neck. "The golden pearls of the Broken Sea will assist us with imperceptible hints.
As long as there is no malice, we just want to explore with them and leave safely. If there is no malice, they will believe our words under the influence of suggestion. Don't underestimate the power of the Dream Path sealed artifact."
Changing the appearance and adding hints sounded good... Griffith thought about it, but still felt uneasy.
If the lie is discovered, he will immediately be besieged by a large group of Odessa supernaturals and monsters who want to die together. Regardless of his own safety, Alandel will definitely be implicated and killed.
"It sounds good, but I still feel that if you want them to believe in such a bizarre experience just by relying on sealed artifacts..."
"Humph, you underestimate me too much. Makeup is a girl's weapon! You can question my technique. After all, in such a short preparation time, the sealed items are limited," the girl said confidently, "but you can't
Questioning my understanding of the art of makeup!”
"How do you say this?"
"Dantes Dantès~" Alandel had already begun to enter into the role setting, "Do you know why the knights of Tiberion are invincible in the arena?"
"Of course it's because he is Tiberion, the knight with the best riding and spear skills in the world." Griffith replied without thinking.
"That's not true~" the girl shook her head, "it's because he is wearing that gleaming flower armor. The attention of both enemies and friends is focused on that armor, that dangerous lance, who cares!"
