96 Homecoming(2)
On the mountain road leading from the village of Asit to Fort Colom, a horse-drawn carriage was galloping, and two tall heavy military horses were moving at a high speed with their powerful limbs.
This is exactly what Agni is doing.
Layla, who was held in the arms of the flames, had no human color on her face at all, her face turned gray, her hair gradually turned an unhealthy miserable white, her lips began to turn purple, and the fire of life seemed to gradually pass away in Layla's body.
The surrounding scenery is still as beautiful as in the morning, but the same group of people does not have the slightest intention of appreciation, just urging to return as soon as possible.
"Brother Agni! The rate of erosion has increased again! Amelia shouted anxiously.
Agni quickly opened Layla's eyelids, and found that her pupils had been completely turned up, and the whites of her eyes were also covered with a trace of gray, obviously the stabilization period had passed, and Layla's life would be in danger at any time!
"Damn it......" Agni cursed under his breath, at this time he hated his powerlessness very much, he couldn't do anything in the face of this situation.
"You two, why don't you try this?" The apprentice knight with the Leo Paladin's Seal suddenly spoke, he had been on guard at the back of the car since he left the village, and he didn't speak, and Agni had almost forgotten his presence. The Cadet took out a Holy Light Insignia, an ornament consisting of a straight stick and wings on either side.
Agni has seen many of these ornaments, and they are everywhere in the church, and the emblem of the Holy Light symbolizes the angel and the Holy Light, and is the sustenance of the belief in the Holy Light in the earthly world. But the apprentice knight is obviously different, and the emblem made of no material can be seen with an inexplicable aura on it, and it is obviously a real holy relic.
However, Agni couldn't control that much at the moment, and hurriedly took the Holy Light Emblem and pasted it on Layla's forehead. The effect was immediate, Amelia became resistant to the Holy Water, but she did not reject the Holy Light Emblem in the slightest, but quickly slowed down Layla's transformation process, and the gray color on her face faded a little.
Agni breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered to thank you: "Thank you so much, I'm sorry to act in a hurry, I haven't had time to ask your name yet......"
The Cadet Knight was also very happy to see that the Holy Light Emblem really worked, and he said, "You're welcome, my name is Hels Parefman, you can just call me Hull." ”
Although the crisis in the road has been temporarily resolved, Layla's body is still slowly changing, and if she can't return to the church, it is still meaningless. Tyre knew this, too, and without much urging, he had done everything he could, galloping along the mountain trail at the highest speed that a heavy horse could bear.
Along the way, because there was no need to stop in the villages along the way, I occasionally encountered the guards and militia who set up cards, and with the mark of the paladin, they all passed the level smoothly. This speed is much faster than in the morning, about half an hour or so, Cologne Castle is already in sight!
The moment the spire of the church appeared in view, everyone in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief, but it was not yet time for everything to be done, and the carriage continued to run along the road between the farmsteads in the outer city.
"Uncle Tyle, don't stay after entering the inner city, go straight to the upper city, all the way to the church! Don't stop no matter who is in front of you, everything has me! Agni said in a deep voice.
"This ......" Tyre hesitated, a country villager like him had to be careful even in the inner city, any citizen could make him tremble, and now that the fire had told him to go straight to the city, he felt like he was going crazy! But he didn't hesitate for long, and he replied firmly, "Understood, my lord! ”
If nothing else, just say that the priest saved his little daughter's life, no matter what you do, it's worth doing! Be grateful! Tyre gritted his teeth and flicked his whip again.
The carriage traveled for a while, and suddenly there was a shout ahead.
"Agni! Amelia! How's Layla doing! "A female soldier beckoned from a big tree at the edge of the farm, it was Minter who had received the news.
After getting into the carriage, Amelia informed Minter of the situation along the way, and under the influence of the abyss, messages could not be sent beyond visual range, but after leaving the village, the text message function was restored.
Knowing that Layla was in such a big situation, where could Minter sit still, he threw down Julien and the others who were still practicing, and ran out of the city by himself.
Seeing her, Amelia quickly stood up and waved at her, and her mouth screamed.
Then Minter said, "Don't stop, just go under the tree!" ”
Agni, who had intended to stop the carriage, didn't say anything, and let the carriage gallop by.
Mingte saw the right direction, jumped forward, and landed from the air beside Tyre, on the cushion of the driver's seat, stunning the honest country merchant.
Minter didn't stay in the driver's seat, and as soon as he rolled over, he fell into the carriage behind.
"How's Layla doing now? Can you still hold on? Is the Light really not working? Before he could stand still, Minter asked in a loud voice.
"It's fine for the time being, but I can't say how long it will last." Agni hugged Layla's body, which was gradually becoming a little cold, and said in a deep voice.
Minter touched Layla's cheek and sighed deeply. Although the two have only known each other for a long time, after getting acquainted, the two found that they had an unexpected relationship with each other. One is a silly girl, the other is a natural stay, and naturally they became friends very quickly. However, within a few days, this friend who finally met became what he is now.
"Agni...... Layla, she's going to be fine......" Minter whispered in a very depressed voice.
Agni could only comfort: "It's okay, when you get to the church, there are bishops, they must have a way to save Layla!" ”
While he was talking, Tyre suddenly warned, "My lord, there is a card in front!" ”
Agni was startled, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he vaguely saw several barricades in the middle of the road, surrounded by several knights and guards.
"How so?! This is an outer city, why do you have to set up a card here?! Agni said in amazement.
"I saw it just now, but I was on foot, and they didn't stop me, they only stopped the passing carriage!" Minter had just come out of the city and had already noticed the movements of the Knights of Saya and the Guards.
"Are the people of the Knights of Saya crazy?? Why set up a card here? Huls also said in surprise.
There was no one to give an answer, and the carriage could only slow down slowly and finally stop in front of the barricade.
