Chapter 63: The Test
As he spoke, two tall, handsome young men walked out of the cabin with a group of samurai, and they were slightly stunned when they saw Dio and the others.
They were looking at Dio and the others, and Dio and the others were also looking at them, the young man in the blue robe was very sunny, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth, and a row of neat teeth was revealed when he smiled, and the young man in the white robe was feminine in appearance, with a little delicateness, but his eyebrows and eyes opened and closed with a faint majesty, and he should be a person who is used to giving orders.
"Come, let me introduce you. Isabel walked over and took the hand of the young man in the blue robe very affectionately: "This is Colin, my fiancé, thanks to his help at noon." Colin, this is Dio, this is Gordon, this is Raymond. ”
"Hello. Colin smiled and nodded.
"Hello. Dio and others also responded.
"Why don't you introduce me, Isabel?" interjected the young man in the white robe.
"Who are you? I know you?" replied Isabel with a smile.
"You ......" The young man in the white robe was speechless for a while, and glanced at Colin: "Colin, this is your fiancée, you can do it yourself." ”
"Who are you? do we know you?" said Colin as he put his arm around Isabel's shoulder, making it clear that he would be on the same side as Isabel, and Isabel's smile grew more and more smug, like a little fox who had stolen a treasure.
"I can't really take you two. The young man in the white robe smiled wryly, and then his gaze shifted to Dio and the others: "Introduce yourself, my name is Griffith." ”
"Hello. Dio and the others nodded politely.
"Dio, if you are tired, go down and rest. Isabel said: "The Lightning needs to replenish fresh water and food, there is no way to travel today, you will leave tomorrow morning." ”
"Understood. Dio replied.
"If you're idle, you can come out and have a chat, but don't get off the boat. Isabel said.
"Good. ”
Here, a few samurai took Dio and the others out of the cabin and arranged their rooms, Isabel on the top was not in a hurry to leave, after all, she was a local, and there were quite a lot of resources to mobilize, so she stayed in order to provide the best protection for Dio and the others.
"Isabel, are you satisfied this time?" Colin, seeing that the people were gone, said in a low voice. After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pinched Isabel's upturned nose, to be honest, Franvi is not easy to mess with, and the family behind Chrissy is even more difficult to mess with, and he can stand up completely because of Isabel.
"Do you know why I'm helping them?" said Isabel with a grin.
"Of course they do, because they saved the lovely Miss Isabel. Colin's face was full of pampering.
"It's not just because of that. Isabel cocked her feet, put her ear to Colin's ear, and whispered, "Dio...... It's Sophia's sister's fiancé. ”
"What?" Colin was taken aback, then turned his head to look at Griffith, whose face suddenly turned pale, but he seemed to be very good at dealing with such emergencies and managing his emotions, and he returned to normal in a matter of seconds.
Chernie was also taken aback, and then she glanced at Griffith out of the corner of her eye, observing Griffith's expression.
Colin was stunned for a moment, and then asked slowly, "How is it possible...... When did Sophia get engaged?"
"Why do you want to tell you what is on the girl's mind?" Isabel smiled: "Is Sister Sophia very familiar with you?"
"That Dio looks ordinary. Colin shook his head: "Even if Sophia really decides to find a man who can be trusted for life, it can't be him." ”
"You mean...... I'm fabricating facts to ruin Sister Sophia's reputation?" said Isabelle, displeased.
"This ......" Colin hesitated and looked back at Griffith, but Griffith turned his gaze to the surface of the sea, seemingly uninterested in the matter.
"This is the letter that Sister Sophia wrote to me last month!" Isabel took out a letter from a delicate small bag at the back of her waist and spread it out to Colin: "See for yourself!"
"Read what other people have written...... It's not good. Colin's smile was a little awkward.
"We didn't say anything unsightly. Isabel rolled her eyes: "Then you can just look at this paragraph!" With that, she flipped to the second page of the letter and scribbled it with her fingertips.
Xue Ni opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end it turned into a sigh that no one else could hear, and then she walked to the side of the ship, facing away from Isabel and the others, looking out at the city of Santis in the distance.
Colin couldn't help but glance at the envelope, and Griffith turned his gaze back to the letter.
It is indeed Sophia's handwriting, and it is also Sophia's unique tone, always faint, not deliberately close, nor deliberately alienated.
In the minds of young people who have pursued Sophia, Sophia is undoubtedly an iceberg beauty, but unlike 'icebergs' in the ordinary sense, Sophia can smile at you and talk to you for a long time, but these don't mean anything, as long as the contact time is long, most people will feel a kind of prevention and alienation from the depths of the soul from Sophia, a year ago, someone complained after hitting a wall, saying that Sophia has a piece of ice in her heart that refuses to melt,
Colin sighed and handed the letter to Isabel, and Griffith's face turned pale again.
They didn't understand what kind of ability that Dio had to win Sophia's favor?! And Sophia also quoted a bard in the letter, "My heart is my home", which of course implies that Dio is the only person who can make her feel at ease.
"I'm a little tired, go down and rest for a while. Griffith said suddenly, and then walked straight to the cabin.
"Don't make a fuss...... Colin smiled wryly, "I'll keep an eye on him." ”
Isabel shrugged her shoulders, then carefully put away the letter, turned to walk into the cabin, and Xue Ni suddenly said coldly: "Isabel, you are playing with fire!"
"Xueni?" Isabel was stunned, "What's wrong with me?"
"Don't be confused, Isabel. Xue Ni said slowly, "Are you doing this to make Griffith completely dead?"
"Long pain is better than short pain. Isabel said, "Am I wrong for doing this?"
"You ......" Xue Ni has always been clumsy in expressing herself, she knows that Isabel is not doing it properly, but she does not know how to warn Isabel.
"Alright, Cherny. Isabel smiled and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine!"
"What do you mean...... What do you mean?" said Chernie in a deep voice.
"Young and vigorous, he must not have figured it out at the beginning, and he may find a way to embarrass Dio, but Dio is about to leave, and when he calms down for a while, he will let it go. ”
"Are you sure?" Shelley sneered, "Are you sure Griffith will only vent his frustrations like a child?"
"That'...... So what else can he do?"
"What if he kills with a sword? You should know what kind of opponent Dior and they are in. "Or, what if he takes his guards to attack Theo?"
"That can't be, with Griffith's character, to do such a thing!" said Isabel flatly.
"I know, because of Colin, you think of Griffith as half an older brother. Xue Ni said: "But this does not mean that he has a good character!"
"Shelly, how long have I known Griffith?
"Yes, Griffith has a good reputation, for the sake of a girl who has been insulted, he can chase hundreds of miles, see a beggar shivering in the cold wind, he can take out all the money on his body, but what does this mean?" Xue Ni said-for-tat: "Why did that warrior choose to flee? Because he knew that Griffith was interfering in this matter, so he had to flee, he was not Griffith's opponent at all." He can give all the money he has to the beggar without hesitation, because this money is just a drop in the bucket for him, and he doesn't care! Isabel, these are not tests, you know? If you haven't seen with your own eyes his last-minute choices in life and death, you don't want to say that you know his character!"
Isabel was stunned, she hadn't spoken so much at one time since she had known her.
"Isabel, I admit you're smart, but you can't figure out people's names just by being smart!" said Chernie slowly, "Griffith can be as graceful as a humble, compassionate gentleman when it comes to those insignificant little things, but...... Someone is really going to take his most precious thing, can you be sure that he will continue to be a gentleman?"
"But......" Isabel's face changed again.
"Isabel, never test someone else's name!" Xue Ni said in a deep voice, "That will only make you lose more than you gain, or even regret it." ”
"Colin was staring at him. Isabel forced a smile and said, "Griffith won't do anything foolish, will he...... Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have a chance?"
"That's what worries me the most. Xue Ni said: "Colin and Griffith are friends who can entrust each other with life and death, if Griffith begs Colin to help him, what will he choose? If Griffith tells Colin that Sophia and Dio will only suffer misfortune when they come together, and Chrissy's family will also take Sophia as a target and retaliate, do you think Colin will really abide by the principles? You are so smart that you always think that everything is in your control, so it's good that you don't make mistakes, but if you make a mistake, it will be an irreparable mistake, and being smart will be mistaken by being smart!"
Isabel only felt her brain buzzing, and she had to admit that what Xue Ni had hypothesized was very likely to happen, and she felt panicked, and she couldn't help but remember Xue Ni's warning just now, never test someone else's surname......
