Chapter 10 – Mysterious Girl

"What?" Isabella was quite surprised when she heard Edison's statement.

"Uncle, you want to go infiltrate Boaren?"

"Yeah, out of the four of us, I'm the most suitable if you want to sneak into the enemy base."

"But..." Isabella looked displeased with the decision.

"Calm down Isabella, I'm old, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything. I make sure I won't be a burden to you two." Edison tries to convince Isabella. He seemed sure enough to go to Boaren.

"But, this plan can only work if you want to come along." Edison looked at Griffin.

All eyes immediately turned to Griffin, including Isabella. They realized Griffin wasn't from Lirest at all, so he had no obligation or responsibility to help them. Isabella also couldn't ask Griffin to help them, because even though she had saved this man, she had also been helped several times.

"I'll help." Griffin said without hesitation.

"Are you sure?" Isabella asked to be sure. Actually she didn't want Griffin to get too involved in the trouble they were going through. Plus Griffin had helped a lot in the battle with the Boaren before.

"I'm certain. I will help you." Griffin said without the slightest hesitation.

He had already decided to help Isabella, especially if judging from the quiz he got earlier, Griffin had already got Lirest as his ally. So it's better if he helps them with this problem.

The four people there smiled in relief at the statement just now. Griffin looks pretty strong, so his presence will be quite helpful in overcoming the current problem.

"Okay, first of all I thank you for your help. If this war can be resolved properly, we will definitely return the favor." Edison said very kindly and politely, showing how grateful he was.

From that alone, Griffin could tell that Edison was sincere when he said it.

"Herbert, Marcella and Joanna will be guarding Lirest with the rest of the squad in our absence. As for the timing of the attack, we'll be leaving in about 2 hours. We'd better leave before midnight, because they won't be too alert at that time. I will immediately prepare the equipment and the route we will take."

After conveying it, the meeting was immediately dismissed, everyone returned to their respective activities, there were still many things that needed to be taken care of that could not be completed in just a few hours of repair.

"Why do you want to help us?" Isabella asked when the two of them were already outside.

"I'm just repaying you. You've also helped me before." Griffin said calmly, as if he didn't expect anything.

"But you saved me from the Ferocious Hound, plus you've also driven out the Boaren army before. That's enough, isn't it?"

Griffin was silent for a moment.

"In that case, let's just say that my destiny is tied to you and this place."

Griffin walked away after finishing his words, leaving Isabella speechless because she didn't know what to say.

"Weird person." Isabella said to herself, but with a faint smile filling her lips. "Really strange."

Isabella also walked away to help the others. She also had to get ready for the rescue mission they were about to undertake.

In the middle of the forest, Griffin felt a very strange feeling. He kept feeling that something kept calling him as they came out of the tent, but there was definitely no sound.

And for some reason, his body also started to feel hot, like a fire was trying to break out from within.

"What is wrong with me?"

Griffin felt his body become very strange.

Suddenly someone hugged Griffin from behind, wrapped her two small arms around Griffin's stomach.

"Finally we meet."

The startled Griffin immediately let go of the hug and moved away.

There was a very beautiful woman standing in front of him. Griffin froze for a moment when he saw the girl's charm. She was a little short, her height didn't even reach Griffin's shoulders, but her charm was stronger than an adult woman.

Her flowing red hair matched her glowing ruby ​​red eyes. The skin was white as flour and smooth as silk, the shape of the body was as beautiful as chiseled. All the charm that can be obtained by a woman seemed to be aimed at this girl.

Any man who saw it would be immediately tempted and could not contain their desire. Griffin who had just seen this woman was also tempted, he wanted to immediately hug this woman and feel the warmth of that clean skin, but his mind still forced him to stay awake.

Griffin swallowed his saliva before asking.

"Who are you?"

Griffin had the sword in his hand ready, just in case this woman intended to attack.

Seeing her charm that had no effect on Griffin, the woman smiled happily, as if engulfed in something.

"Interesting, you are indeed very attractive. Even though I've raised the lust in my aura just to meet you, but it's not working." The girl walked over slowly, her face showing an expression that kept on tempting Griffin to go out of bounds.

"Do not come close!" Griffin pointed his sword at the girl in front of him to stop.

"Woah woah woah, calm down Griffin, I'm not your enemy." The girl said without a fear expression even though the tip of the sword was pointed at her neck.

"You know me?"

The woman smiled before answering. "Let me introduce myself. I am Scarlet, the girl who will be your servant in this new world."

"Hah?"

Griffin was even more confused when he heard Scarlet's words.

"Hey, there's no need to be confused. I'm only in charge of helping you in this world, and I certainly won't harm you."

"You expect me to believe those words?"

Without warning, the entire tree around Griffin was engulfed in crimson flames. The fire looked so terrifying it made the place look like hell. Griffin was shocked when he saw the sight.

"If you want I can kill you right here now Griffin Houston. But I didn't because you were still useful in our plans."

Scarlet waved her hand to the side, in an instant swept away the flames surrounding the two of them.

Griffin looked at her in bewilderment, how could the fire appear and disappear in an instant. Meanwhile the trees that were burned by the fire just now returned to their original form, as if they had never been burned before. The flames just now seemed like an illusion, but Griffin clearly felt the heat as they burned around them.

"What do you want?" Griffin asked with a wary look.

Scarlet lowered the tip of Griffin's sword that was aimed at her neck using her long red nails.

"Not much, just making sure that you become strong."

"What for?"

"You don't need to ask because the truth will come naturally. When the time comes, we will become a partner that will complement each other."

Before Griffin could understand the meaning of those words, a voice called out to him from a distance.

"Griffins!"

"Is that Isabella's voice?"

Scarlet glanced back for a moment. " Tch, there seems to be a nuisance insect."

Without Griffin noticing, Scarlet approached and hugged him from the front. She whispered something in Griffin's ear.

"Be careful, remember that I will always be watching over you. You must not die before feeling another warmth from my body."

A second later, Scarlet's body disappeared without a trace. She seemed to be red dust that was blown away by the wind.

A few seconds later, Isabella was seen who came looking for Griffin.

"Hey, let's get ready. We'll have to leave in a minute."

"Oh, yes."

Griffin who was still confused only answered briefly and followed Isabella's footsteps.

"What happened just now?" Griffin thought questioningly.

A very strange and dangerous woman, but at the same time made Griffin feel very warm. The lust he just felt was definitely magic, luckily he could restrain himself, otherwise something dangerous would have happened with the red-haired girl just now.
