Chapter 4 The Clipper to Neopolis Part III

Griffith usually stores 2 Blood Runes and 4 Frost Runes. Counting the runes that can be instantly spawned in 15 seconds with his current mental power, the stored runes allow him to use two or three combinations of Frost and one Blood spell in a row for most situations. His advantage over a regular mage is that there is no common cooldown between different spells that can be unleashed through runes, and he can throw three different spells at once. Even high-level mages must rely on items and scroll support to achieve such rapid succession of spellcasts.

In addition, Griffith now possesses the physical and mental strength of the Sequence 8 Barrier Breaker, has a super healing ability close to that of the Blood Baron, and can also provide good magic resistance to his own characteristics, and he can also use the extraordinary ability "Reckoning" to fight back sharply at critical moments of battle. The Corrupted Feather Feather Fringer, tucked away in the scabbard at his waist, is extremely sharp, and inflicts Shadow magic damage. The Vanguard Shield is strong and tough, making it a great piece of armor.

Overall, Griffith's fighting style is based on tenacity and persistence, and he is capable of unexpectedly powerful damage in a short period of time.

A mage or witcher in the same sequence 8 would undoubtedly be very dangerous if he suddenly encountered an enemy like Griffith with high resistance, high protection, and lethality.

Griffith walked out of the room with his double armor on, and walked down the corridor outside the first-class cabin to the nearby cabin.

The Equinox, with a rare four-deck cabin on the main deck, is reserved for first-class passengers, with comfort and visibility unmatched by traditional cabins.

Because it was paid for by the Lamore family, Griffith's cabin was a very good first class, although it could not be compared with the more advanced luxury cabins that spanned the upper and lower floors, but it was comfortable enough. The reason for this arrangement is that potential enemies, cultists, are hardly poor, and they need comfortable, spacious shelters to carry out their evil plans, and not risk the theft of black magic items by thieves to live in second class.

If possible, Griffith should obviously survey and monitor all first-class and first-class passengers. However, the constraints of manpower and social etiquette made it difficult for him to conduct a full investigation in a short period of time, and he had to start with the nearest neighbor. His cabin is 309, next to the deck staircase and room 307. There lived a young couple, with whom Griffith had only met when they boarded the ship.

After knocking on the door a few times, Griffith found that there was no movement in the room. After a brief moment of reflection and seeing that there was no need to break in, he walked to room 308 across the street and knocked on the door.

This is a two-storey suite, which is superior to Griffith's room. The door opened to greet him with a middle-aged man with a serious face. He wears a crisp dark coat with the corners of his mouth downward, and he looks as if someone else has eaten his bread.

"Hello, I'm Griffith Blanton Apprentice Knight in Room 309," Griffith nodded to the middle-aged man who opened the door, "I just crawled into my room with a sea serpent, I want to come and see if you're okay." ”

"This is Milovan Neville's room for the Arcane Councillor, and I am his deacon," said the middle-aged man who opened the door in a monotonous and pale tone, "The councillor is not here now, sir, please come back." ”

"Boom!" the hatch slammed shut in front of Griffith.

"It seems that I am not attractive enough, and I am not very popular. Griffith muttered to himself and walked away. Griffith, a traveler in room 306, had no impression of seeing it, and knocked on the door with no reply.

The spring equinox has been out of Hong Kong for most of the day, and dinner will be in a little while. Griffith, who was still unsure of the existence of a conspiracy, walked down the hallway towards the dining room, ready to eat first.

The ship's restaurants are divided according to the class of cabins, and the quality of the food varies accordingly.

Griffiths was able to enjoy the dishes prepared for first-class passengers like him at dinner on his first day. First of all, it is a cold and appetizing dessert wine and fresh oysters, which can also be minced with garlic or grilled in butter if guests are not used to eating them raw. This is followed by a choice of seafood soup and creamy mushroom soup, followed by pan-seared salmon or salmon belly sashimi, caviar and tender foie gras.

It's a luxury...... Griffith took a guilty sip of the pale blue sweet wine, and his appetite immediately increased.

The main course is lobster and M5 steak. Staple foods include sparkling rice and fried beef tongue from the south. All the fresh vegetables that accompany the meal are freshly produced on the day of departure.

It's a good task! Griffith, who recalls the hard days on the battlefield, feasted on it, and ate the appetizer and main course in the blink of an eye. The waiters then brought him small portions of apple pie and tiramisu cake.

The food was so good! It was a far cry from when the war had just ended.

However, it is understandable that the southern part of the eastern province is mountainous, and the coastline is also blocked in time of war, and the towns there are also responsible for providing the front line with foodstuffs, horses, clothing, and various supplies. Although the legion will also pay them, it is inevitable that prices will rise and resources will be tight.

Now that it is peaceful, the big cities on the trade line must have eaten much better than Izmir.

During the meal, a female singer gave a beautiful song to the guests of the first-class restaurant, and she could order songs for a small fee.

Sitting next to Griffith was a fat tycoon who was called "Lord Salian Quarksol" by the waiter, who was said to be a wealthy merchant on the West Coast. He was moved to tears by the singing, and very kindly asked the waiter to bring flowers and red wine.

"Mr. Griffith, are you satisfied with your meal tonight?" a restaurant maître d'art walked over and kindly asked Griffith what he thought of the food, "and the purser you were looking for...... None of us knew where he went. ”

In order to alert the cruise ship and other passengers to safety, Griffith asked the flight attendants to find the purser for himself before the meal, but this did not seem to be successful.

"I don't know where I went?" Griffith couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "It's not going to fall into the sea, is it?"

"Yes, it's a pity that he's been missing for a while, and the captain has arranged for the crew to check everywhere, hoping that he hasn't fallen into the sea. ”

It is impossible to fall into the sea...... There were more than 800 passengers and 200 sailors on the seven-masted galleon, and there were people moving around the deck at all times, and it was impossible for anyone to go unnoticed if they fell overboard. Griffith nodded, took out some tips and handed them to the maîdre, "Could you please help me ask the guests in room 307, if they are free, the trainee knight of the Lamor family wants to visit them." ”

"Yes, Mr. Brandon. The foreman nodded and left.

Griffith slowly sipped his after-dinner drink, figuring out where to search. He will be assisted by friendly forces in this mission, and he will have to find a way to join them as soon as possible.

Just then, the foreman, who had just walked away, returned to the table.

"Was there an answer so soon?"

"That's right, the passengers in room 307 are Mr. Eck and Miss Miria," said the restaurant maîtres-de. At first, his fiancée, Miss Miria, thought he was playing cards, but later found out that he could not be contacted, and now she is anxiously looking for him. ”

"Hmm~ Are the crew assisting in the search?" Griffith quickly cleaned the drink from his cup.

"Yes, the ship's safety supervisor and cabin foreman are leading people to investigate in cabin 307. ”

"Well, I'll go over too, and the dinner was great!"

......

Crowding outside 307, Griffith made his way through the crowd to the door of the cabin, where he found Miss Miria, the head of security, and the cabin maître d'affaire standing in the spacious cabin. Four waiters gathered outside the door, as well as several travelers, including a councilor deacon who had just met.

"What's going on inside?" Griffith came to the door, asking the waiter standing by the door.

"No, I don't know," the waiter shook his head blankly, "this is Mr. Eck and Miss Miria's room, and no one can enter it without the permission of the head of security." ”

"Miss Miria has fainted! Call the doctor!" The head of security in the cabin suddenly shouted, followed by the sound of scrambling.

"I'm extraordinary, on official duty, let me in. Griffith immediately said to the waiter, and at the same time shouted into the suite, "Don't move, don't help the fainted person up yet." ”

The security supervisor and the foreman who were about to help Miss Miria were stunned. The waiter at the door, backed down under Griffith's determined gaze and let him into the room.

"I'm from the Eastern Legion, I have experience in first aid, and I'll take care of it until the doctor on duty arrives," Griffith briskly rushed into the cabin, taking over Miss Miria's help.

The lady lying on the floor was dressed very richly and beautifully. Even if she fainted and turned pale, Griffith felt that her appearance was very delicate and her figure was slender and moving. Griffith quickly observed Miss Miria's breathing, and immediately loosened her tightly bound belt.

"Hmm~ I'm a little dizzy. Miss Miria quickly relented and spoke softly.

"Do you have low blood sugar or are you on a diet control?" Griffith asked.

"Sort of. ”

"Pour me a glass of warm water, and add some sugar," said Griffith to the cabin maître d'Hon. ”

While the foreman was busy, Griffith took a quick look.

In the living room sofa of the luxury cabin, men's coats, vests, shirts, trousers and a pair of shoes are prominently laid diagonally. The suit was slightly twisted on the sofa, like a person lounging there. However, the tie is tightly tied at the neckline of the shirt, and the position of the cuff studs, buttons, ribbons, and belts is tightly placed. The couch at the hem of his trousers and the floor were crooked with shiny leather shoes. A pair of socks drooped left and right on the upper.

It all looks like a horrible prank.

All the clothes, shoes and socks were placed there in layers like nesting dolls, but the owner of the clothes disappeared like molting.
