Three-quarters of an hour ago, the priest who had met Leo and Vera at the festival hurriedly walked on the road leading to the bishop's bedroom. His leather shoes made an ominous sound as he stepped on the marble paved road in the corridor.
It made him feel frightened, but he still braved the situation and walked in.
He came to the door of the bishop's bedroom, saw the candlelight still burning inside, hurriedly walked in, then knelt down on one knee and said: "Sir, I am guilty."
The bishop put down the document in his hand, looked at his favorite subordinate, and said with a smile: "Child, who among us is innocent in front of the gods? Tell me, what's the matter?"
The pastor immediately felt relieved. He held up the bishop's robe, kissed it respectfully, and then said slowly: "In order to gain credit, I did not reveal the details of those people's characteristics."
The bishop was stunned for a moment.
The priest did not notice the bishop's change and continued: "I just heard that the city guard has gone out of the city. That person... that person has probably been mixed in and sneaked out."
The bishop immediately became furious and kicked him to the ground. Then he used a cane and beat him severely. The pain made the priest scream, but his eyes shone brightly. He had made the right bet.
, life has been saved.
After a long time, the bishop stopped and shouted sternly: "Quickly inform the deputy commander of the Templar Knights, Nord, and let him lead a team to chase!"
A person outside the door agreed, and then ran away quickly.
After a while, the fire outside the window lit up, shining like daylight, and there was the sound of people neighing in joy. Then, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded. The rolling thunder shook the sleep of the people in the city, and then gradually faded away.
, disappeared.
Everyone in Lorraine rode their war horses and ran wildly for a while, then stopped at a fork in the road.
Lakar jumped off his horse, pointed to the sign at the intersection, and said: "Go east from this road, and another two hundred miles away, you will find the territory of the province of Balindo. Governor Charlins is a close confidant of the Grand Duke.
I don’t need to say more. As long as you can get there, I think he will send heavy troops to escort you all the way until you reach the academy."
After saying that, he threw away the horse rein in his hand and sat on the side of the road.
Seeing this, the young woman realized that something was wrong and hurriedly came to his side.
Catherine separated everyone, walked over, then bowed apologetically, and said: "I'm sorry, sir. We have no choice but to take this step, and please forgive me. The Julius family has clear grievances. As long as I am here, we will
I will never forget your help."
Rakar was stunned for a moment when he saw the middle-aged man's attire. Then he heard her clear voice and understood. He waved his hand and said discouragedly: "Miss Catherine, don't say that. I didn't
I'm helping you, I'm just forced by the situation and have no choice but to do it myself. No need to thank me."
When Lorraine saw this, he couldn't bear it. Although the fat city guard was a bit mediocre, he just let everyone go. His position could not be saved. Thinking of this, he raised his leg and kicked Leo.
The fat little boy was so happy that he didn't need to explain anything. He just urged the horse and walked over.
He took off a short sword from his waist, threw it over, and then said: "Lord Rakar, no matter what, we owe you a favor. If this child grows up and wants to find a job, you can
Let him come to us with this dagger."
Rakar was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and saw a serious look on the other party's chubby little face. He was immediately overjoyed, stood up, gave him a deep salute, and said, "Thank you very much, young master."
Catherine didn't care at first, but when she thought about it more carefully, she was suddenly moved. His hand was much more beautiful than her own.
With his words, the future of the illegitimate child was guaranteed. He was appreciated by the young father-in-law. Who dared to take this child seriously? Even if the tigress in the Rakar family wanted to raid the house and beat people, she would
You have to think about it. If the mother and son are forced into a panic, will the child take revenge for this when he grows up and has Archduke Julius as his backer?
She looked at her brother in surprise, as if she didn't recognize him. Could it be that his character had also exploded in the universe? In a blink of an eye, she saw the child looking at Lorraine inquiringly, and she suddenly understood.
Leo said such formal words for the first time. He was a little panicked. When he saw Lorraine's affirmative look, he calmed down.
Rakar picked up the dagger and put it away carefully.
He hesitated for a moment and said: "Everyone, be careful. The Prime Minister is now in a hurry and has secretly set a reward. As long as the lady is caught, the reward will be three thousand coins. If one guard is caught, there will be a reward of five hundred."
of gold coins.”
Everyone looked at each other and grinned nonchalantly.
Leo was stunned and realized that one person was missing, so he asked unwillingly: "So, what about me? What about me? What is my reward?"
Rakar smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that the young master's reward seems to be one hundred gold coins."
Leo suddenly snorted coldly and cursed with an unhappy look on his face: "What~! A blind bald man. I'm worth at least five thousand gold coins. That dead bald man~! I'll settle the score with him later.
.”
After hearing his casual thoughts, everyone was sweating profusely. The young man was serious for a while and then immediately returned to his original form.
Catherine kicked him, then nodded to Rakar and said, "Thank you, sir. With that, we'll take our leave."
Then he shook the horse's reins and said: "Let's go~!"
Then everyone galloped away.
Lorraine looked back at the dark city of Trier and found a torch flickering faintly in the distance. Apparently someone had discovered something was wrong and chased after him. He did not dare to neglect at that moment and rode away.
Because someone was chasing them, everyone did not dare to stop and rest, and ran all the way through villages and towns towards Balindo.
The more Lorraine ran, the more frightened he became. Although he and his men were galloping as fast as they could, the pursuers behind him were becoming smaller and smaller due to exhaustion. But the remaining dozens of people were
They are also the best among the best.
They were getting closer and closer.
Carter looked back, spat viciously, and cursed: "These ghostly guys. They must be the Templar Knights of the Holy See. Only they have such superb skills."
At this time, several guards looked at each other with a look of determination on their faces. Then they saluted Catherine and said, "Let's hold the lady back for a while and buy some time."
Then, he circled the war horse, drew out his sword, and then circled back.
Carter turned around, looked at their resolute faces, thumped his chest heavily with his right hand, and said, "Take care, brothers."
There was some choking in his voice as he spoke, because he knew very well that once they left, they might not be able to come back.
When Lorraine saw this, she raised her hand and whipped him.
He looked at Carter angrily and cursed loudly: "Do you people have all the fodder in your heads? You only know how to fight hard and show off your courage~! You don't know how to hide in the dark and pull a rope to give them
Are you going to use a snagging rope or something to hinder them? I don’t believe it. They have stopped them three or five times, but they still dare to chase after them. No wonder they were fooled by a bunch of bald guys and a bunch of losers~!"
After hearing his curse, everyone suddenly woke up from a dream.
The guards grinned and said in unison: "Thank you, sir, for reminding me. We will go and kill them right now."
Lorraine glanced at them and said: "Everyone, be careful. If you are discovered, defeated, and unable to escape, surrender. Nothing is more important than life.
There is no deep grudge between us, and I believe they will be merciful. Looking back, we will definitely find a way to fish you out."
After saying that, he raised the riding whip in front of his forehead and performed a military salute.
The guards were all stunned for a moment.
Catherine also smiled, followed Lorraine's example, gave a military salute, and said: "Everyone, take care, just delay it for a while, don't force it too hard. We'll see you later."
They looked at each other, then lowered their heads deeply and said, "Yes, sir. We will do our best."
At the same time, I made up my mind in my heart that even if I risk my life, I must stop those enemies for the young lady.
After saying that, he took the war horse, turned around, and ran back.
The crowd rode their horses and ran for a while, then they saw the torches of the pursuers behind them stopping one after another. After a while, several familiar figures rode their horses and appeared in their sight.
When everyone saw this, they all cheered.
Although the pursuers stopped, they did not stop for fear of a long night and many dreams. They galloped all the way until dawn, when they were exhausted and could no longer run, so they stopped.
They found a mountain col with leeward wind and stopped their horses.
While Carter made a fire to cook, he carefully directed a few people to keep watch. He also sent scouts to the front and back.
Just as the meal was about to be finished, the sentry who had been scouting the road had already galloped back, shouting loudly: "Quick, hurry up. There are three hundred enemies in front of us, and they are already coming here."
