Chapter 15: Still a Pastor?!
Hearing this, Regner understood. Number One must have had no intention of killing him in the first place.
Because that arrow is too weak. Although Regner was seriously injured by this arrow, most of his serious injuries were caused by his desperate fighting. If you think about it this way, this arrow is indeed too weak.
After all, Number One was the strongest assassin in the Intelligence Bureau's Assassination Department, and with her abilities, would a well-prepared sneak attack only hurt Regner's shoulder? Obviously impossible! Moreover, she hadn't smeared the poison on the arrows, plus Number One's performance in battle. It's not hard for Regner to tell that One had survived the battle just now.
And, Regner also noticed a detail. He remembered that One's arm should have been cut by his spatial cut, but how did she look completely fine now?
With this in mind, Regner finally decided to believe One. After all, it's really, Sasha doesn't care about it here, he still can't bear it.
"You made the right choice. Number One smiled, and she reached out to Sasha, who was hiding behind Regner, and said, "Come on, kid, I'll take you out." ”
"Don't make any decisions about her!" Regner blocked again.
"She can't keep up with us, do you want to carry her on her back in this state?" One asked, looking at Regner.
"......" Regner thought for a moment, but turned to Sasha and nodded.
Although this guy is a northerner, an enemy of the Stokers. But in the current situation, Sasha's most trusted person is unexpectedly Regner. So after Regner nodded, Sasha also plucked up the courage to come out.
Number reached out and grabbed her, then leaned down and carried her onto his back.
"I'm really sorry just now, but I had to do that for the sake of acting. But with Regner, I'm sure you won't get hurt. Number One said to Sasha, who was still a little scared of herself.
"......" Sasha was silent, just buried her little face on One's shoulder a little lower.
Number One didn't care about Sasha's answer, and after she finished speaking, she nodded to Regner and motioned for him to follow.
Regner stood up, and he pressed his left shoulder. It seems that the healing potion has worked, and his shoulder has stopped bleeding by this time. After confirming the wound, Regner nodded at Number One.
So Number One started running.
It was only at this time that Regner understood how terrifying One's body was. She didn't move at all, and she was incredibly fast. Sasha, which weighs dozens of pounds, is not a burden to her at all!
Regner frowned, but followed.
It was still very easy for the top Assassins of the two empires to bypass these guards. And No. 1 is obviously too familiar with the thousand-year-old capital, and she knows all kinds of remote and dark paths, and all kinds of unknown hiding places. Under her leadership, Regner can be said to have walked without danger along the way.
And the way out of the city is even more bizarre, No. 1 turned around in a small alley I don't know how many times, and then she came to a dry well in a deserted courtyard. Number One looked at Regner, then jumped in with Sasha.
There is an underground passage at the bottom of the well, and it seems to be an underground labyrinth, at least Regnar has walked through a dozen intersections, with three forks, some crossroads, and five forks. Anyway, Ragner wanted to memorize the route from his memory, but he had to give up halfway through.
This labyrinth is far more complex than he imagined, and if he wants to rely on the memory of the human brain, I am afraid that only a genius high-level mage like Anne Lot can do it.
Thinking of this, Regner couldn't help but be a little curious: "How exactly did you remember these routes?"
"Do you think I'll tell you?" asked One, faintly rhetorical.
"No, it won't. "Regner didn't have much hope.
"You guessed it. ”
“......”
The three of them walked in the underground labyrinth for about half an hour, after which Number One led Regner to a dead end. She pointed to the top of her head: "Open it, it's inconvenient for me to carry her on my back." ”
Regner glanced warily at One, and he walked up, then looked up to take a look. There is indeed something like a lid on the top of the head. But Regner wasn't sure if what was waiting for him outside was an empty city or a bunch of heavily armed Stoke soldiers.
Regner used Shadowblade to condense a slender rod and used it to lift the lid. The lid was a bit heavy, but it could still be lifted with the physique of a high-ranking Regna warrior.
The silvery-white moonlight shone through the gaps, and Regnar could see the twinkling stars in the sky. This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and Regner pushed the lid open with all his might, then suddenly jumped on it. He never used the Shadow Instant, an ability he had left behind to prepare for an uncertain sudden crisis.
Number One didn't lie to him, he did come to the wild now, but it was not far from the thousand-year-old capital of the Stoke Empire. At least in such a dark night, Regner could still see the city wall not far away, and of course, his night vision was much better than that of ordinary people.
"Won't you pull me up?" asked One, the voice sounding like she was some weak woman.
Regner had no choice but to hand over the black rod condensed by Shadowblade. Number One grabbed the stick, and was pulled up by Regner. But because it takes two hands to pull the stick, the wound on Regner's left shoulder, which had been hard to coagulate, opened again.
"What did you do to her?" Regner exclaimed, as Sasha was lying limply on One's shoulder, seemingly asleep.
But Regner knew it wasn't possible, because the girl was looking at herself with her eyes open before she came up!
"Don't worry, I'm just letting her sleep for a while. Because it's better to keep our conversation a little more confidential. Number One said with a smile.
"Only the dead keep it a secret, you're going to kill her?" Regner asked, staring at One.
"Of course not. Number One leaned Sasha gently against a tree. She didn't look back, but said softly, "I admit that the dead are the best at keeping secrets, but I can't do that." ”
"Why?"
"Because you don't want me to do that, do you?"
"If I don't let you do it, won't you do it?" asked Regner.
"......" One didn't answer, she turned her head to look at Regner's still bleeding shoulder, and said, "Your wound is cracked." ”
"I know. ”
"I'll help you heal!" One walked over.
Ragner wanted to turn her down, but he noticed the look in One's eyes. Her eyes were no longer as calm or playful as before, but looked very pitiful. It's like a puppy begging for food, but fearing rejection or chasing.
Regner's heart softened when he saw this look for no reason, and he snorted coldly, and then let Number One unwind his bandages.
One looked at Regner's wounds, and then began to pray in Regna's stunned gaze.
"Heal the unfortunate with the power of thy radiance. "One's prayers seem to be very stiff, not even religious. But the deity she prayed to answered One, and then the gentle divine energy condensed in her hands.
"You're still the priest of Perro?!" Regner asked, stunned, the divine energy he was familiar with, as this was how Erin felt when she used her magic. This woman not only has the strength of a high-level assassin, but also is proficient in divine arts!!
"Nope. Number One frowned in disgust when she heard the name, and she said, "But I can use his powers. ”
"......" Regner didn't ask again, and he probably wouldn't tell him if he asked again.
At the beginning of the healing, Regner was in agony, because he also opened the fifth layer of the dark body tonight, and now there was still a lot of shadow energy left in his body. The divine energy in One's hand will prioritize the elimination of these predators before healing Regner's wounds.
Gradually, Regner's brow relaxed. One's healing effect is good, and it's not bad compared to Erin. So with the help of her healing technique, Regner's wound solidified again.
"Thank you. Regner could only say a muffled thank you after confirming that he had indeed gotten better. Then he asked, somewhat curiously, "Why are you helping me?"
"......" No. 1 seemed a little disappointed when he heard Regner ask. But she still didn't answer Regner's question, just said, "It's halfway there." ”
"What did you say?" Regner couldn't help but be stunned.
"We ...... No, or rather, they don't have much time left. One didn't answer, but continued, "And you will be a key point in their fate." ”
"Can you show me what you mean?" said Regner, with black lines on his head.
But Number One ignored him and just said to himself, "Although for me...... But now that I've made a deal with Perro, I'll have to be on this side. ”
"Hey, did you hear me?" Regner was a little frustrated.
"I can't say this directly, otherwise no one knows what will be rewritten in the future to be more terrifying. Number One shook her head, and then she said, "It's all up to you." ”
"Why don't you give me a hint then?" Regner laughed and cried, and Number One said so much as if talking to himself, but Regner couldn't even understand half of the sentence.
"......" No. 1 was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Go to Chachahawk Empire's founding war, there is a person worthy of your attention, and you will know who he is." ”
"The Founding War?" Regner couldn't help but be stunned, Malolit also asked herself to investigate the Founding War, but since she returned to the Military Intelligence Department, she has been very busy, and this matter has been put on hold, why is it that No. 1 also lets herself pay attention to that era now. What happened then?
"Poof!" Before Regner could figure out what One meant, One suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
