Chapter 20: The Carriage

The execution ground in the northwest outside the city was really not an ordinary distance, and in order to avoid lying down and joining the corpses when I walked, I decided to pay a horse to carry me there.

Although I could have gone back to the temple and let the temple's public carriage drive me through, then I would have to maintain the bright smile and perfect demeanor of my Star Angel in front of the chauffeurs......

In the case of my weakness that I can't even laugh at now, I still endured my grief and took out the pension I had worked so hard to save to rent a carriage, after all, if I died now, wouldn't my hard-earned pension be useless?

I chose a carriage at the carriage rental that looked like it would last until the execution site and didn't fall apart, and I picked an old coachman who didn't care even if it was an ogre.

Then I jumped into the carriage, and although it smelled like a basket of rotten eggs, I was so tired that I nestled in the corner and made a comfortable position, and my consciousness gradually blurred, except for the carriage to shake and shake and shake, like a baby's cradle......

Bang!

I was expressionlessly awake with a large swollen lump on my forehead.

Because, the carriage suddenly braked suddenly, causing me to hit him headlong into the wooden plank of the carriage in front of him, and even the wooden plank was broken by my head.

I began to wonder if maybe I could also pay a sum of money to bribe the corpse disposer at the execution site, and then have this coachman join one of the corpses that "did not die of hanging" at the execution site?

"I'm sorry, but I had to make an emergency stop because of the sudden passing of several riders in front of me. The coachman shouted into the carriage, though his flat voice sounded unapologetic.

I touched my forehead in a little pain.

Angels and knights are actually similar things, they hold a weapon, ride a horse, wear armor, use a shield in battle, and are the first to die in the team...... Ahem! It's the same as using your own body to block the attacks of other team members, and the great sacrifice of yourself to protect others, and the death of your best!

It's just that the former serves God, and the latter is loyal to people, and angels have all kinds of additional abilities because they serve God, for example, our holy angels have the ability to heal themselves, and the body's resilience is super strong!

For example, I just sprayed blood all over the street yesterday, and today I can run around, which is definitely not something that a knight can do, and maybe just after spraying blood and falling to the ground and dying.

As for the knights who are loyal to them, of course, they can't get any divine help, but their masters pay more than two or three times more than us, hate!

As long as a high-ranking knight can live to the moment of retirement, the accumulated salary can definitely spend his old age in style.

However, an angel ...... If you don't take extra money in private, even if it is the twelve holy angels who have worked to the top, you still have to live very economically, otherwise, when you retire, you will find that you don't have half a cent to eat, and you will either go directly to see the sky god, or you will be fifty or sixty years old, and you have to go to compete with young people for tasks to earn money to eat.

For example, my master, who claims to be the strongest Star Age Holy Angel in history, is now working as an adventurer, going around to compete with young people for quests, and hunting monsters and bandits...... Ahem! It is to promote the younger generations and maintain justice.

In short, before leaving the temple, my Master said to me in a heartfelt manner, "Son, if you don't want to retire, you have to become a priest...... It's too dangerous to kill a knight with your swordsmanship...... It is necessary to save for retirement funds well to avoid a bleak evening. 」

Thinking of this, I regret that I just spent money to rent a carriage, I should still walk, I believe that with the self-healing ability of my Star Age Holy Angel, I should not die halfway.

Just as I was sorry, there was a sudden noise outside, the sound of horses' hooves and the clashing of armor mixed with shouts.

"What's going on?" I asked, poking my head out of the carriage and impatiently.

When I first poked my head out, I saw the coachman jump out of the driver's seat, and then run faster than he could fly, and in an instant he turned into a speck of dust in the distance.

Dead coachman, don't let me find you in the future!Otherwise, I will definitely arrest you and put you on trial by the Xuanqi Holy Angel, and accuse you of the crime of maliciously abandoning the Holy Angel of the Star Age!

After wishing the coachman to go to the sky god as soon as possible, I turned my head and finally understood the reason why the coachman was running so fast, and there were three tall knights in front of the carriage, who did not seem to be of a good kind.

The three knights had been looking at the fleeing coachman in a daze, but the one at the head had obviously seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and suddenly came back to his senses, and when he saw me peeking at the three of them, he yelled at me.

I frowned, as the head of the twelve holy angels, except for my master, the pope, and the fat pig emperor who didn't know the situation, no one dared to yell at me in this life, I didn't expect that today's "holy angel execution ground was bullied by knights", only three knights actually dared to yell at me, you give me a little care!

Believe it or not...... Go back and call the Holy Angel to beat you into pigs!

Hey, don't say I'm inferior! Try the blood that spills all over the streets, and see what you can do the next day but love each other in bed!

Although I've always said that my swordsmanship sucks...... It's not that good, but that's also according to the standards of the Twelve Holy Angels and my perverted master, if compared to ordinary knights, my swordsmanship is considered ...... At an average level!

But don't forget, I'm a holy angel, and I didn't sacrifice my salary for nothing, and with a lot of messy spells, my ability is almost like that of a high-ranking knight!

Coupled with the Holy Angel's perverted self-healing ability, my true strength is definitely above that of a high-level knight! At least my mana value is above 8,000 on average!

However, as the old saying goes, on days when the streets are full of blood, not to mention against the high-ranking knights, even pulling out the sword is a strenuous exercise that should be avoided as much as possible.

So, I touched my nose, lowered the brim of my cloak, jumped from the back seat of the carriage to the driver's seat, and waved my whip with my unskillful command, telling the horse to turn and run quickly.

"You know each other!" The three knights didn't seem to want to cause trouble, and when I turned away so obediently, they ignored me and rode their horses against me.

The direction they rode was in the direction of the execution ground, and I secretly turned my head to observe.

When I was far enough away from them, I waved my whip again and let the carriage go on, while I myself jumped out of the carriage and hid in the woods beside the road, where the knights would not have discovered me as long as I did not walk on the road.
