Chapter 185: A Visitor to the Manor
"I'm sorry. They have come after me, but they have done you a burden. ”
Alan said apologetically.
"You don't have to blame yourself. It's not your fault, you've done your best, it's the horse bandits who are too vicious. I should thank you, I would have died without you. ”
The girl's tone did not blame Eren at all, but comforted him, as if those people had been attracted by her.
"I didn't do anything. What you should be thankful for is the Viscountes. ”
The girl's attitude made Alan more and more ashamed.
"Yes. And I've told the Viscounts the truth. ”
"Tell what?"
"Of course, we were attacked by horse bandits in the cabin. I didn't tell them about our relationship, though. ”
"Our relationship?"
"Yes. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, in order to deceive the Viscount's trust, I impersonated your brother without your consent. ”
"You said that to save me, and I should thank you. If you want to apologize, you should also apologize to the viscounts. ”
"The Viscount and his wife are such a nice couple, knowing that we are unknown and still doing their best to rescue us. ”
"Of course, the Viscountess is a devout believer in the God of Light, and helping those in need is what every believer should do. ”
At the mention of the duties of believers, a look of fascination appeared on the girl's face.
"Every believer goes to help those in need, so what else does the Holy See do?"
Alan muttered quietly, noncommittal to the girl's words.
"Don't be stunned, come and do me a favor and tie my hair up. ”
The girl's left shoulder was injured, and she couldn't move her left arm, so she could only comb it slowly with one hand, and when she finished combing, she couldn't tie her hair back up with one hand, so she needed Alan's help.
"Good!"
Alan hesitated, it was a very intimate move to tie a woman's hair, but looking at the girl's frank face and calm tone, Alan couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only step forward to help tie up the girl's hair, the girl's hair was wet, as if she had just finished bathing, exuding a faint fragrance, Alan knew that the fragrance he smelled when he woke up was actually the smell of the girl.
"My name is Jean, what's your name?"
The girl introduced herself that although the two had known each other for a day, they didn't know each other's names yet.
"Alan Levins. ”
Alan hesitated, and although he didn't want to deceive the girl, he still used a fake surname.
"Mr. Levins, how did you get me out of the hands of the horse bandits, are you really a merchant?"
The girl named Qin suddenly asked, although Alan is eight or nine years old, but in the process of getting along with the two people, the girl has always shown a condescending calmness, firmly grasping the right to speak of the two people, but it seems that she is the older person.
Although the girl's tone of inquiry was very casual, Alan understood that she had seen through her identity and was not an ordinary businessman, so he groaned slightly, but he still decided to tell the truth.
"Just call me Alan. Actually, I'm a mercenary, and a magician, and I'm here to escort a caravan, who ever wanted to encounter a horse bandit, the team was scattered, and I escaped alone, but I didn't expect them to still chase me. ”
Alan suddenly discovered that the horse bandit was really a good thing, anyone could use it to make up lies to deceive, and he was not worried about being discovered, because the horse bandit could not stand up and accuse him of talking nonsense.
"Are you hiding something? For example, you have hidden treasures of great value, which is why the horse bandits are so attracted to chase after you. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I promised Mr. Nande that I would send you home, and I would do it. ”
Alan's sweat came down. He suddenly found that the girl was not only far more mature than her peers, but also had an unusually sharp eye, and if this conversation continued, he would soon be unable to justify herself.
"I don't suspect that you're a bad person, I just think you have a lot of secrets hidden in you, maybe I can help you by saying it. ”
The girl corrected.
"What time is it?"
Alan digressed from the subject.
"Ten o'clock in the morning. ”
"Since your body is no longer in serious trouble, I will go to Viscount Benn now, and we will leave immediately. ”
Alan hurriedly found an excuse to leave, but before leaving the door, he didn't forget to advise:
"You just wait for me here, don't go anywhere. ”
After saying that, Alan hurriedly left the room, although it was close to noon, but the corridor outside was very quiet, Alan walked along the corridor to the living room, but found that the living room was also empty.
"Is there anyone?
Alan shouted twice, but no one answered. It seemed that there was no one in the entire building except for the two of them.
"Where did the people go?"
Alan withdrew from the living room to look elsewhere, but the corner of his eye swept out of the window and stopped.
Through the living room window, Alan could see clearly outside. Outside the small building was a lawn, and farther away from the lawn was a well-paved square, where many people had gathered.
What's the situation?
Alan immediately understood that something bad might have happened outside, otherwise it would be impossible for all the people in the building to run out, he wanted to be closer to observe and listen, so he left the living room and walked towards the passage to the outside, until he reached the door, he stopped, did not go out, and looked out through the crack in the door for a while, here is closer, and he can see more clearly, but he is really startled when he sees it this way, and his whole heart hangs.
In the square outside the small building, not only the Benn family gathered, but also twenty or thirty soldiers wearing embroidered crosses, who were all familiar with the soldiers' costumes, and these people were all guards of the Lua Church. The guards of the Holy See and the people of the Viscount Manor are in a state of confrontation, but the strength of the two sides is obviously not on the same level, as evidenced by the family guards lying on the ground.
"Could it be that his whereabouts have been discovered, and the people of the Holy See have chased after him again?"
Allen's heart tightened, and he almost turned around and ran, he thought that the pastor had told his whereabouts last night, so the people from the Holy See chased after him, but he immediately felt that it was wrong, if the people from the church outside were really coming for themselves, they had already rushed in and cleaned themselves up when they were dreaming, would they still put on a position to discuss with the Benn family.
So what are they here for?
Alan couldn't help but have new questions, and he decided not to rush away, but to observe for a while. He pressed his eyes closer to the crack in the door again, and immediately noticed something unusual, the church guards were pressing on the Benn family in a fan-like formation. Viscount Benn was alone in front of the guards to negotiate with the leader of the guards, and because of the distance, Alan could not hear what the two sides were saying very clearly.
