When Akasha walked out of the room on the second floor, the soldiers who had been keeping vigil in the corridor happened to have their backs to her, so with the help of the magic, she continued to walk down the stairs through the corridor with ease. When she looked up and noticed the darkness outside, Akasha realized that it was past midnight, and the entire first floor of the inn was already empty.

Having made up her mind, Akasha thought about leaving the place immediately, but when she passed the bar, she was stopped by a few sausages and bread on it—a "coo" from her stomach The sound made her swallow her saliva, but she had never done a single theft since she was a child, but she felt unspeakably guilty for her inner thoughts, but thinking of her goal, she bit her lip, looked up at the second floor unconsciously, took a deep breath, or reached out to hold the bread and sausages into her arms, and by the way, she put a cloak on the chair on her body, pushed open the door and ran out...

But after running two or three steps, Akasha suddenly turned back, trotted to the back kitchen and picked up a boning knife, carved a few handwriting on the bar before breathing a sigh of relief, turned around and pushed the door open, and disappeared into the night without looking back...

The inn remained quiet until three hours later, when the second shift of soldiers who had come to change the guard noticed something unusual.

"What?ran away?!"

Roddy, who finally had a good night's sleep, was directly dumbfounded when he was woken up, he looked at Ruger who came to report with bloodshot eyes, and asked with a surprised face: "How did you run?

"No, the soldiers on the night watch are asleep..."

Ruger explained as he led Roddy to the first floor of the hotel, "I don't know why, she still left this." ”

"What?"

Roddy's mind was still full of mush, and he had just woken up in a chaotic and confused way, seeing Luger pointing to the bar, he leaned in to take a look, and his expression suddenly became extremely stunned: "This, this, this, ******this, What's the point?"

Sodlore, who was also woken up, went downstairs in a crooked coat and couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw the handwriting on the bar, and a scout next to him whispered out the above sentence-

"I'm sorry, I need to borrow my cloak and food, and I'll pay it if I have the chance. ”

The handwriting engraved on the tip of the knife looked a little messy, but Luo Di and the others looked at each other because of this-

"You- have you ever written an apology for stealing something?"

"Nope..."

"I haven't seen it..."

At this time, Carter ran over with sleepy eyes, and asked with a confused face, "Who, who, who ran away?"

Luo Di opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a long time, he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it is estimated that it will have long been gone, and there is no point in chasing." ”

He was surprised and amused... How can you save someone and save such a living treasure? Run, run, take something and say that you want to pay back, I really don't know how to describe this woman......

Now that he thinks about it, Roddy finds that he still doesn't know what this woman's name is, but it doesn't matter, after all, it's just a little less prestige, and nothing else is really to lose.

He sat at the bar and took a glass of ale wine to quench his thirst, but after drinking, he couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to run away, and couldn't help but say to himself: "What are you going to run, Lao Tzu won't eat you..."

"I guess you think we're evildoers?"

Next to him, Lu Ge touched his nose and muttered, "Captain, you tore her clothes or something before..."

"Fuck off! That's for healing!"

Luo Di's face was a little red, and at this time he also realized that he didn't seem to take others seriously, so he immediately waved his hand and drove away: "Go back to sleep and go back to sleep, anyway, just get the broken spar in your hands, don't worry about anything else." ”

"If you have the chance to meet you, you really have to ask... Isn't it just undressing and bandaging!"

With a yawn, Roddy rolled back into bed and continued to fall asleep.

"Ahh

A few kilometers away, Akasha, who had quietly left Hollier City, sneezed, she immediately covered her mouth, cautiously looked at the cold wind in the dark, her plump body was wrapped in a wide cloak, and her white fingers took out a sausage from her pocket, she hesitated for a moment, and then took a small bite to eat.

"If you go down this road, there should be towns..."

Despite her good memory, Akasha was unfamiliar with Evta's territory, and all she knew was that she could stay away from the religious forces by heading north along the main road, but if she had any definite idea, it was to find a town and live in seclusion...

There was some curiosity and inexplicable feelings about those scouts in her heart, but Akasha was not willing to leave her fate in the hands of others at this time, and she remembered the words of the captain named Roddy, but her heart was also more grateful - anyway, the fact that she could make such a decision now also had something to do with his words.

Convinced, the priest who had left the "Pit Viper Cross" set out on his way north, gradually disappearing into the shadows of the forest.

September 21.

The day after the infidel incident, the "purge" of the city of Houllier was in full swing.

Most of the remnants of the "Pit Viper Cross" were arrested, including those who had once belonged to Akasha, but as Rubens found out the real reason why the four cavalry teams were stopped in the first place, they were not burned at the stake, but were given the opportunity to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light" and were sent to do hard labor in copying the teachings.

As for the other infidels who followed Gallup to besiege the "Snake Fang", Rubens had no mercy and sentenced them to death, just waiting to pick a suitable day and drag them to be burned at the stake in response to the "Pit Viper Cross" provocation - and for "Snake Fang" Gallup, the "Rosace Cross" cut off his head and hung it directly in front of the largest southern gate of Hollier, announcing the fate of the "infidels".

Don't think that religion will be benevolent, in fact, when it comes to fundamental interests, even the "Rosicrucian" that teaches people to do good will also expose its cruel and bloody side - so under such measures, the original atmosphere of Hollier City quickly calmed down from the agitation brought about by the "infidel attack", although some people were still panicked, but there were no other people who dared to make trouble on the surface, and everything seemed to have returned to normal...

It's just that under the surface of "smoothness", there will always be some undercurrents quietly surging.

Mel was the most inconspicuous of the lady-in-waiting in the Duke's palace - she had been in the family for ten years at the age of twenty-seven, and in the eyes of everyone she was the kind of honest and conscientious woman, an "old virgin" who would be shy to run away if someone else said a few words.

But all this is just a "appearance".

When he finished cleaning up in the early hours of the morning and returned to his humble little dormitory alone, Mel would replace his timid, slightly reserved expression... At this time, the gray-white pupils and indifferent expression all indicated her original identity - the undead.

After Alpha was killed by Roddy, a major purge was carried out in the Duke's Palace, and luckily... After a "special transformation" of the body, Mel is no different from ordinary people, so the "internal purge" carried out by the Duke did not pull her out, so Mel directly became the only remaining undead "eyeliner" in the Duke's Palace, and even at this time, he had replaced the former Alpha and became a subordinate directly under the command of "Lord Ansardine".

These days, Mel has been extremely careful to pass on all the news to the distant Tasman kingdom of the undead, and today, she has finally secretly received a response from the Lord Ansadine in the bazaar.

When the sky outside the window was just getting bright, Mel, who was hiding in the dormitory, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one around, he gently turned out the letter paper that he had received at the market, and whispered out the contents of the deciphered words on it.

“... There has been a new breakthrough in the research of potions, and the Luciflon family's plan can choose to abandon it..."

"But those who kill Alpha will pay the price, and the new team will arrive in Hollier on the 26th, and you will need to connect and prepare for the follow-up..."

“... The Russiflon family must disappear!"

"Keep in touch and check the movement..."

When the sentence was read, the coldness and anger contained in it even made Mel shudder, but she knew how much effort the Ansatine Lord had put into the previous plan, and the feeling that all his efforts had been wasted in an instant was definitely an unbearable failure for him - reading the contents of the letter, he knew that this lord had already sent the elite soldiers of the undead at this time, and would enter the city of Houllier in five days!

Usually, this means that Lord Ansadin is going to use simple and brutal means to solve the problem.

Although Mel's strength is stronger than ordinary people, she can't meddle in such a thing after all, but she knows the strength of the two knights around the duke, and her role here can only be to pass on information and confirm that those undead killers can be foolproof...

After putting away the letters, Mel changed into a new maid's outfit, straightened her long hair, which had long since stopped growing, and was about to go out to start the day's house-cleaning work, when she heard another maid come in from outside, and said, "Mel, the Duke has ordered us to clean up Miss Sally's room, so let's come at once." ”

"Okay. ”

She nodded, picked up the tools she used to clean, and followed her out of the house.

At the same time, the monastery "Rosicruc".

Because of the large number of casualties caused by yesterday's fighting, the pacification and aftermath work is in full swing at this time. The priests were busy healing and burying their wounds, the nuns and friars were chanting prayers to give the dead rest, and the weeping and weeping of the families of the faithful continued from last night to the present, and finally it was gradually quieted.

Bishop Rubens's mood was very complicated, and after writing more than a dozen letters all night, he was walking among the flower beds of the monastery all night, and his brow was not hidden.

"I have to do the things I have to do one by one, let's go and rest today, I've already asked people to clean up the bed, Rubens, I'll just block the rest of the things." ”

Benjamin, who had also been busy all night, came over and greeted Rubens - the two were old acquaintances, so they didn't use honorifics, so the tone was very casual.

"I'm getting older, and I'm really a little unbearable, but the time is a little tight, so I naturally have to hurry up. ”

Rubens sighed, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to have increased because he had stayed up all night, and his face was full of old age, "I almost messed things up this time, thanks to the shooter and the duke's knight, speaking of which, I should go to the Duke's Palace as soon as possible to thank them, such a thing happened, and it is still necessary to go to the door to thank them as soon as possible." ”
