Chapter 89: Halfway in distress
Let's be honest.
It is really convenient for the Duchy of Belmane to follow the Chi Road built by the Delos Empire.
The wildebeest carriage drove on it and it was smooth. It's like being on flat ground.
Father Merrill was in a daze in the carriage for a moment. I even want to sleep a little.
They had been away from Huttonmar for almost half a day.
It's noon.
It's hot outside.
But it's not that cool inside.
This carriage is Jonathan's ordinary horse-drawn carriage.
How could there be a magic array set up in it to cool down?
It was even hotter inside the carriage.
The weather is really boring. I can't lift my spirits.
Merrill lifted the curtains a little.
Father Merrill's eyes hurt with bright thorns outside.
It's all a valley.
The wheat has just been harvested by the farmers. There are no plants in the ground.
Father Merrill didn't want to sit in the car.
He lifted the curtain and went out.
The young guy driving outside. Father Merrill remembered his name as if it were Simon. Working in Jonathan's house.
Simon was also too hot to the point of being out of spirit. I heard movement behind me, and saw that Father Merrill was about to come out.
He quickly moved to the side. Let Father Merrill have a place to sit next to him.
It's also hot to sit outside.
Wherever there is wind, it is a heat wave blowing on people's faces.
However, it may be a little better after this paragraph.
Father Merrill remembers that the walk ahead looked like woodland.
You might as well take a break there.
When they came, they left in the morning. However, the weather was much better than it is now.
It's a little hot at noon, though. But I didn't feel much either.
Father Merrill spoke to Simon outside.
He could feel that the young man next to him was a little nervous.
He's sitting here for a moment. Sweat flowed directly from Simon's forehead.
See this. He was embarrassed to sit here anymore. Back in the carriage.
Father Merrill rolled up the curtains. Hung on a small hook next to the carriage.
There's a little bit of wind in here. Otherwise, the inside of the carriage is really too stuffy.
Father Merrill shook inside, and then looked at Simon, who had added the car in front of him:
"Simon, take a break when you get to the cool spot ahead."
"Okay, no problem. Father Merrill. Simon had that idea too.
On such a hot day, if the wildebeest kept running like this. It's definitely going to be unbearable.
Father Merrill returned to the carriage.
However, it was so hot inside that people couldn't lift their spirits.
I don't know if it's a long time coming.
Suddenly, there was a violent vibration of the wildebeest carriage.
Father Merrill was almost thrown out. He didn't do anything to prepare. The arm slammed into the wood of the gauntlet inside the carriage.
Fortunately, Father Merrill quickly grabbed the wood on top of the carriage. This stabilized the body.
I don't know when the curtain outside the carriage was lowered again.
He could hear Simon's voice in pain. He seemed to be held down by something.
Father Merrill hurriedly lifted the curtain.
The two wildebeest horses in front of them had already fallen to the ground.
A wildebeest pressed hard against Simon's body. The two hooves on its back were still struggling there.
It's just, it's there to move. Simon, who was crushed by it, was even more uncomfortable.
Another wildebeest also fell to the ground. There was a moan of pain. It looks more serious. I shouldn't be able to survive.
It's a "soma rope"
Father Merrill recognized.
He looked to the side and saw the ropes being pulled up on the road.
There are a lot of sharp spikes on it.
The wildebeest was mixed like this, and basically the two front legs were wasted.
Especially this kind of soma rope. If the speed of the carriage is very fast, it can directly tear the wildebeest and the carriage apart.
However, the main thing now is to get Simon out first.
Father Merrill's hand was directly attached to a pale golden glow.
He flipped the wildebeest over in one fell swoop.
Then, pull Simon up.
Simon clutched his thighs, biting his lips white, sweating profusely from his head.
This time it's not a hot sweat, it's a cold sweat.
He felt like his leg was broken.
Father Merrill saw Simon like this. However, there is nothing he can do now. It's not like that.
He could only be treated briefly with slow healing first.
It's just that Father Merrill's hand hasn't been on Simon's injured leg yet.
Then he heard the sound of a crossbow machine.
"Not good."
Father Merrill felt afraid of being behind the wildebeest with Simon.
Hear the heavy sound of a crossbow bolt hitting the wildebeest's body.
Father Merrill's heart sank.
He probably knew what it was. A crossbow, but it is still unclear if it is a crossbow from the Delos Empire or a copy of the Duchy.
But it doesn't matter which batch. It all means that today's incident cannot be predicted.
Someone who can use that kind of thing.
Father Merrill couldn't think of any reason for them to kill themselves.
However, soon Father Merrill's doubts were solved.
A rough voice came.
"I said, second brother, you seem to be mistaken, this is not the old thing in the council. What a big nose did you get from the Church of Light? ”
Got it wrong? Father Merrill did not dare to be gullible.
"I still thought it was the old thing. What about the big brother. "It's a normal young voice.
Father Merrill stood up. He told Simon to hide in the carriage first. Leave the outside to him first.
On both sides of the road, more than a dozen thieves-like people had come out.
At the head was a tall and strong man. There was a long scar on his face, which added to his anger.
He was followed by a young man with a white face.
It's okay, but it's just a pair of feminine eyes. It's really hard to have any good impression of him.
Father Merrill noticed that each of them had a crossbow in his hand.
Plus the old parliamentary stuff they said at the beginning.
What's going on with you, why are you so unlucky.
He took out his weapon, the Apocalypse Tomahawk, and looked cautiously at the other side.
Dana looked at the old man of the Church of Light opposite, and knew that it was not easy to deal with.
However, he is really riding a tiger now.
If it is not resolved.
In case the news is leaked. It had a great impact on the plans of the principality's lords.
Then if the anger of that lord burns. They can't afford it.
However, the Church of Light is not easy to mess with. If the Church of Light finds out some clues.
They won't end much better.
Forget it, Dana didn't dare to bet, he didn't dare to bet on whether Father Merrill would say it.
If he had said that he had made a mistake in the right plan, they would not have survived tomorrow.
However, offended the Church of Light. They can also run to the Delos Empire.
Which is more important, he and his eldest brother can still distinguish clearly.
