Chapter Seventy-Three: Stoker's Pursuers

The spell that Perro had just taught Erin was the Mind Purification Technique, which used divine energy to dispel evil thoughts in the mind of the recipient. And it was because of Erin's heart purification technique that Alpacino completely dissipated the evil thoughts that had sprouted because of the excitement of the scene.

When he came to his senses, Alpacino couldn't help but be shocked by what he had just done. He hesitantly held out his hand, trying to explain something: "Listen to me, Irene, things are not what you think...... I ......"

Erin didn't speak, tears of disappointment and sadness flashed in her eyes.

"Irene, I won't hurt you!" Alpacino couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw Erin's expression, his heart was now full of remorse and contempt, what kind of shameless person could do that kind of thing to her! You were ashamed to say that your feelings for Erin were innocent and immaculate? But you open your eyes and see! What have you done! You have broken her heart! You have broken the heart of the girl you love the most!

Alpacino wanted to beg Erin for forgiveness, but he stood up and walked over to Erin.

"Don't come here!" Erin recoiled in horror.

"No, I'm not going to hurt you!" Alpacino quickly made a non-threatening gesture.

"......" Erin was silent for a moment, although she still didn't want to hurt anyone, but in a short period of time, she still couldn't have the courage to believe that Alpacino who had just betrayed her. She shook her head, then used all her will before she said to Alpacino, "I...... I don't believe you. ”

When Alpacino heard this, his face turned a miserable white.

He knew Erin's personality very well, and he could make her say that she didn't believe it, and it seemed that she was ...... It really broke her heart......

Erin saw that Alpacino's face was pale, and she was also a little unbearable. But what had just happened still terrified her, and although Pero had saved her once, Erin didn't dare to guarantee that she would save her a second time.

The reason why Erin didn't leave immediately was to make sure that Alpacino had not been seriously injured by the Mind Purification Technique just now. Now it seems that he is fine. After reassuring herself, Erin naturally didn't want to stay in this place any longer. She took one last look at Alpacino and prepared to leave alone.

"Wait!" Alpacchino hurriedly shouted.

Erin couldn't help but shudder when she heard Alpacino's voice, was Al Pacino really ready to pounce again, and why did he become like this?

But the truth is not Erin's expectations, and Alpacchino does not approach Erin again. He sighed and said, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes. I'm looking for Brother Regner...... "Erin doesn't lie, and she doesn't like to ignore people.

"......" A few minutes ago, when Al Pacino heard the name, there was only anger and reluctance in his mind, and now, he now has only remorse and shame in his heart. Alpacino opened his mouth, then reluctantly said, "Can I go with you?" I'll protect you!"

"......" Erin couldn't tell whether what Al Pacino said was true or false, but Alpacino's crazy appearance just now still lingered in her mind. So Erin really didn't dare to trust him anymore, she couldn't bear to say no, but she didn't dare to agree. So Erin rarely chose to be silent this time.

"I see......" Alpacchino smiled bitterly, yes, who would want to go with a gangster who had just tried to rape him? He didn't try to persuade him anymore, but took out the space pocket that Nancy gave him: "Bring this, it has the necessities you need." ”

"......" Erin hesitated, but did not step forward to take Alpacino's space pocket.

Alpacchino grinned to himself again, then placed the space pocket on the ground and took a few steps back.

Erin slowly approached like a kitten trying to get close to a stranger. She looked down at the pocket of space, then picked up a stone from her side and threw it over.

Alpacino couldn't help but grin when he saw Irene's movements, he stepped back again, leaving enough space for Erin, and then nodded to Erin, who was looking at him: "Although I hurt you before, at least please believe me this time!"

"......" Erin hesitated for a moment, and then carefully picked up the space pocket. After confirming that there were no anomalies, Erin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your teacher knocked you unconscious with an anesthetic, and I left the Costa Fortress with you on my back. By the time he left, the Costa Fortress was full of Stoke soldiers. Alpacino explained.

"And what about the teacher?" said Erin, a little worried.

"Miss Nancy will be fine, don't forget, she's one of the top doctors on the mainland! Alpacchino gave Erin an encouraging smile: "It's just that she is a little worried about you, so I asked you to send you to the rear." ”

"Yes...... Erin's eyes were a little gloomy, she had some bad premonitions, but now she didn't know her location at all, so naturally it was impossible to touch the Costa Fortress again.

"Follow this road, go in that direction, and you'll be in the hinterland of the empire. After about a day of walking, you should be safe. Alpacino seemed to see Erin's confusion, so he finally advised: "Be alone, be careful, that space pocket is very valuable, don't casually leak in front of others, in case others have bad intentions." ”

"I will. Erin nodded slightly, then said, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Alpacino, I ...... I'm really ...... right now."

"The one who should say sorry should be me, right?" Alpacchino smiled self-reproachfully: "It's me who is sorry for you, and it is a matter of course that you don't believe me now." You don't have to feel guilty about it. ”

"......" Erin nodded to Alpacino and said, "Well, I'm leaving." ”

"Erin......" Alpacchino called out to her again.

"Anything else?" said Erin, turning her head nervously.

......Alpache paused, and then said, "Maybe I don't deserve to say anything like that now, but maybe this is the last time we'll see each other." So, I'm still going to say, I like you, I really like you. I know I'm not worthy of you, and I know that the person you like is Regner, but at least I don't want to let myself be left silent, and I'll feel better if I tell you. ”

"......" Erin was silent for a moment, then she nodded seriously at Alpacino: "I'm sorry...... Big Brother Alpacino. ”

"Let's go, you still have a lot of way to go!" Alpacino smiled: "If you encounter danger, you might as well try to use your magic skills, speaking of which, you should be much more powerful than me!"

"I will. Goodbye, Big Brother Alpacino. Erin nodded, and finally turned to leave.

......

Alpacchino looked dumbfounded in the direction Irene's departure, and it took a full hour for him to come to his senses.

"You're a deserter for her......" Alpacchino smiled, as the Costa Fortress was in chaos and the various units were recruiting their men, but Alpacino ran away alone with Irene on his back.

He was convicted of the crime, but Al Pacino did not regret it anyway. At least he allowed Erin to return to Regner safely, at least he did so much to Erin, and Erin still forgave him. For the sake of such a girl, Alpacino is willing to give up everything he has!

But now, after it's all over, Alpacchino doesn't know where to go. After all, he is a warrior, and the territory of the empire is still waiting for him to defend. Although he escaped, at least at the last moment, he still chose to return, even if he faced the trial of the Hawke Empire, he still chose to go back! Alpacino still has the courage!

He hurried in the direction of the fortress, and then a cavalry squad of about twenty people appeared directly in front of him.

"Stoke Imperial soldiers?!" Alpacino was shocked, he subconsciously made a fighting stance, and then realized that he had never taken off the civilian clothes he was wearing today, although the Stoke people were a little brutal, but they were not enough to slaughter civilians when they saw them, right?

So, he hid on the side of the road in horror, hoping that they would ignore him.

Sure enough, the Stokers didn't seem to have much interest in a common man like themselves. Without even looking at themselves, they rode over at a gallop.

"It's okay...... Alpacino breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as he was about to continue on his way, the Stoke cavalry turned back.

"Hey, have you ever seen a woman with silver hair and severe burns on her face?" asked one of the Stoke horsemen to Alpacino.

"!!!!" Alpacino couldn't help but be startled when he heard the Stoke people's inquiry, could it be that these people are here to hunt down Erin?!

For a moment, Alpacchino had an idea, he nodded affirmatively, and then pointed in a random direction: "I've seen it, I've seen it, an hour ago, I remember that she ran in that direction!"

"In that direction?!" the Stoke Imperial soldiers were stunned, and they muttered, "What the hell, Lady Tyre's divination is going this way!"

"Divination is not always accurate, otherwise it would not be divination, but foreknowledge!" said the wrinkled TerrΓ©, "So, what this young man said is probably correct." ”

"Lady Terrey, what do you think should be done now?" asked the Stoke soldier.

"Divide the soldiers into two ways!" replied TyrΓ©, "you go there with a group of men, and I will continue to follow them the way I came." I heard that although the little girl is a priest of more than ten levels, she has no combat ability, and even an ordinary adult man can subdue her. Our troops are divided into two ways, as long as we don't encounter the army of the Hawke Empire, there will be no danger. ”
