Chapter 194: On the way to escape
Alan opened his eyes, the lights in the carriage were a little dim, and he was lying in the middle of the carriage, and a beam of light came in not far away, which was the window.
There was a person sitting by the car window, who was looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze, and Allen recognized it from the beautiful figure alone, it was the girl Qin.
"Where are we?"
It seems that the viscount has listened to his advice before he fell unconscious, and has already embarked on the road away from Lua City, but he doesn't know where they are going at the moment, after all, this is the Hig Empire, and it is all the sphere of influence of the Holy See, and I don't know if there is any place that is absolutely safe for Viscount Benn.
"You're awake? We're on our way to Triumph City. ”
When the girl heard Alan's voice, a look of surprise appeared on her pale face, but she quickly regained herself, and only after calming down did she turn her gaze to Eren from the window.
"To Triumph City?"
"Yes, it was Viscount Benn's decision. ”
"How many days have I been in a coma?"
"Two days!"
"Two days?"
Alan didn't expect that he had been in a coma for so long, and in two days, the Lua Church should have known the news of the elimination of the escort group, and it is estimated that the murderer is currently being found, and Viscount Benn is not the first suspect, and the next thing is to pursue it with all his might.
"Are the church people chasing you?"
This is the main concern of Allen at the moment.
"Nope. This may be the end of the matter. ”
The girl was answering Alan's question, her face was unusually pale, and her expression was a little unnatural, perhaps even she did not believe that the Holy See would give up.
"This matter is not over yet, the people of the Holy See will definitely chase after it. ”
Alan sat up, shook his head, and said, as someone who was becoming more and more familiar with the way the Holy See acted, he understood that not only was this not over, but that it had just begun.
"I'm not afraid. Mrs. Benn said that his maiden home was in Triumph, and that his relatives could protect them when they arrived, and that even if the Holy See caught up with them, they would be helpless. ”
"I'm afraid that Mrs. Benn's maiden family is not powerful enough, and not only will she not be able to protect them, but she will put herself in it. ”
Alan sighed and said worriedly. Viscount Ben's disaster was caused by himself, but he could save him for a while but couldn't save his life, and it was up to Viscount Benn himself to completely solve this matter in the end. Destroying the statues of the Gods of Light, colluding with horse bandits, and killing dozens of church guards, including the head of the guard, all of which cost Viscount Benn to be burned at the stake. Even if they can escape to Triumph City for refuge, the Holy See will not be able to directly rush in and arrest people, but they will not swallow their anger, and in the end, they are afraid that this matter will only be in front of Emperor Higg. But would Emperor Higg really favor his own courtiers? Alan expressed doubts, he still heard of what this little emperor did, and his ambition and talent and external strength were the fundamental reasons for the current embarrassing situation of the Hig Empire, and for such an emperor, it was really nothing to sacrifice a viscount for the sake of his own throne stability. In the end, therefore, we can only hope that Mrs. Benn's maiden family is high and powerful, and strong enough that she will not give in under the pressure of the Holy See. And what can I help in this process, this is what I have to consider, and I can't really come to the day when the Holy See is going to attack Earl Benne, and I can either hide or watch.
By the way, can General Ford help?
General Ford is the most powerful person Allen knows in Higg, and he may be the only one who can help, but the relationship between him and Ford is purely of interest, and Ford will be willing to intervene in this kind of matter of competing with the Holy See? Alan is not sure. And even if Ford is willing to help, I'm afraid that the strength of this newly promoted general is very limited, and it is not enough to make the Holy See back down.
Perhaps, leaving Higg for Jus is the only way out, but would Viscount Benn be willing?
"I don't think you have to worry, Cardinal Raphael of Triumph City still understands the righteousness, and when we get to Triumph City and tell him the truth of the matter, I believe that he knows that his subordinates are doing wrong, and he will definitely give justice to the Viscount. ”
Just when Alan was thinking about whether there was any way to help Viscount Benn's family, Maiden Jean seemed to have seen his worries, so she spoke.
"You actually believe Raphael?"
Alan was a little surprised by the girl's words.
"Not Raphael. I believe that the God of Light, as a servant of God, will uphold God's will, pull out the moths parasitic in the Holy See, and give all people a just world. ”
A look of determination appeared on the girl's pale face, but Alan looked at her serious tone and smiled, the kind of words that only Dece Hepburn was qualified to say.
"What if the entire Holy See is a moth? What if the supreme leader of the Holy See is also a moth? Will the God of Light take action to get rid of them all?"
"I believe that there are many devout believers in the Holy See, who adhere to the doctrine of the God of Light of mercy, fraternity, and equality, and remember the priest who healed me two days ago, and he is one of them, and it is because of thousands of such priests that the faith in the God of Light has taken root and flourished in the east of Higg. ”
The girl's pale face actually flashed with a holy look.
"It turns out that you are also a devout believer. Oh, by the way, aren't you from Lua City, why don't you go home and come down with you? ”
Alan didn't want to continue the conversation with the girl on this somewhat big and boundless topic, so he changed the subject and asked.
"Everyone is in a hurry to leave, and I am not familiar with the place alone, so I can't go back. Besides, you first saved my life, and then because we were seriously injured and needed to be taken care of, I can't just leave you behind. ”
The girl hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"You're lying. ”
"It's not. ”
"You killed someone in the church by mistake, so you had no choice but to run for your life. ”
"Okay, but..."
"You don't have to explain, everybody has their own struggles. ”
"So, you deceived us because you had your own troubles?"
"I lied to you..."
Alan was stunned, thinking that his identity was discovered by the girl, but as soon as he thought about it, he immediately realized that his identity had been exposed by his actions of eliminating more than twenty guards, including the head of the regiment, yesterday, which was by no means something that an ordinary mercenary could do, and it would be strange if it did not arouse the suspicion of others.
"I do have a hard time. ”
Alan sighed, he pretended to be a horse bandit for revenge, and later destroyed the statue of the gods of light to vent his resentment against the Holy See, and he succeeded, but what he never dreamed of was that he would implicate Viscount Ben's family, and now he accidentally stopped this matter, otherwise he may never know that a completely innocent family will be implicated because of his actions.
