"Now it's okay! We can't even go back to the hotel. ”

When the security team searched for people below, Alan and Jean were sitting on the roof, and he said helplessly after spreading his hands.

"It's a nice night tonight, and it's nice to see the moon here. ”

As the victor of the quarrel just now, the girl was in a good mood, and she did not feel depressed because she was forced to have a hotel and could not return, but pointed to the moon that was hiding behind the thin clouds.

"You enjoy the moonlight, I'm going to rest for a while, recuperate, and tomorrow I'll have to deal with the pursuers of the Holy See. ”

Alan lay on the roof and covered himself with the thick cotton coat he had brought out of the hotel to keep out the cold.

"Hey!"

The girl nudged Alan.

"Do what?"

Alan tucked his head back into the quilt.

"Although that boss is not kind, but we still robbed other people's property just now, which makes me feel guilty, can't you comfort me?"

"Comfort you? I see you can't sleep when you're excited, and you still need comfort?"

"I'm the first time I've robbed, okay. ”

"It's like I'm talking about robberies a lot. ”

Alan said angrily.

"Of course it's different, I'm a clergyman of the Holy See, and I will be punished for doing this kind of thing if God knows about it. ”

"Rest assured, God will pretend not to see it. ”

"Hey, you can't sleep!"

"If you don't sleep, will you watch the moon with you?"

"The Knights Templar are about to catch up, don't you want to think of a way to deal with them?"

"With you, the Holy See's own people, they shouldn't embarrass us, right?"

"Don't talk about me, they don't know me. ”

"It's as if if I knew you and would let us go. ”

"Would you like to get down to business?"

"Good!"

"We can't stop the Knights Templar, but we have to think about how to escape, right?"

"We can do anything, we just can't run for our lives. ”

"Why?"

"Because we have fled, Viscount Benn will be in trouble. ”

"Yes, yes, I forgot that we're here to stall for time, but what the hell are we going to do?"

"Wait, wait until the Knights Templar find us. ”

"Well, just as I didn't say anything. ”

The girl lifted her cheeks, twisted her face to the side, and made an angry look, but to her disappointment, after waiting for a long time, Alan ignored her meaning at all, and even snored slightly.

"Get up and watch the moon with me!"

The girl kicked Eren awake.

"It's too much, do you know how hard it was for me to fall asleep so quickly?"

Alan lifted the quilt and glared at the girl.

"I watched the stars with you for a long time yesterday, and today it's time for you to accompany me to see the moon. ”

"Look at the moon?

Alan sat up and looked around blankly. I don't know when the moon has been hidden in the clouds, but for some reason, the girl didn't notice it at all, so when Eren reminded her, her face immediately turned crimson, but fortunately it was late at night, and the light was dim, and Eren didn't notice it at all.

"By the way, you reminded me that I really can't sleep. ”

The girl's fuss rejuvenated Allen, and he jumped off the roof, and just as the girl wondered where he had gone, he had already walked back, and was holding a bamboo.

"What are you doing here?"

Looking at the long bamboo in Allen's arms, the girl couldn't help but ask.

"Prepare something, it will be useful tomorrow. ”

Alan cut the bamboo into short pieces, then took out the magic materials he had snatched from the boss and ground several of them into powder, carefully proportioning them before adding them to the bamboo tube. This process took a long time, and when Alan was all ready, he turned around and realized that the girl did not know when she had fallen asleep, and because it was cold outside, the girl's delicate body leaned against her side to keep warm.

The sleeping girl frowned, as if she had encountered something difficult in her dream, and her slender eyelashes were constantly shaking, which made people feel very sorry for it.

Eren took off his cotton robe and covered the girl, and placed an air barrier around the two of them to block the night wind before returning his attention to the magic materials in his hand.

Nothing happened that night, the whole town was silent, and it seemed that the troops of the Holy See did not travel overnight. Qin who shouted to look at the moon slept all night, but Allen, who wanted to sleep, did not sleep all night, and in the middle of the night he sent the girl back to the room to rest, and then continued to study the magic array. At dawn the next day, Allen sent out two servants, and when the day was three o'clock, the servants returned on horseback, sweating profusely.

"Your Excellency, the innkeeper is right, from here you go west along a path, and there is a large river in front of you. ”

"Okay! Whether or not we can stop the pursuing soldiers of the Holy See today depends on this river. ”

Alan heard the servant's report and nodded with a serious expression, in his plan, this river will be the key to blocking the pursuers, but this time must be grasped just right, not to let the other party perceive his intentions in advance, otherwise it is very likely to fall short.

"Your mission this time is very simple, but it is also very dangerous, and you must remember that no matter what happens, even if it is death, you must not reveal the whereabouts of the Viscount. ”

Before leaving, Alan gathered a group of servants together, and recruited a few young and strong young men from them, stuffed each of them with a bamboo tube and arranged a task for them, Alan specially instructed before leaving.

After a few young men were ordered to leave, Alan ordered the others to pack up and go on the road, but before they could leave the hotel, a group of people had already poured in at the door, and it was the owner of the previous store who walked in front, and as soon as he saw Allen, he jumped up excitedly and shouted:

"Lord Sheriff, he's the one who robbed my shop!"

"Yesterday's 1,000 gold coins are what I owe you, and I will remember it and pay it back. I've got something to do today, though, and the Knights Templar are chasing us from behind, so I have to leave. If anyone dares to stop me, then please step over this wall of fire first. ”

With a wave of Allen's hand, a wall of fire appeared out of thin air between the two groups, the raging flames exuded terrifying power that frightened the captain of the vigilante back a few steps, his face turned pale, his ability to deal with a group of ruffians is okay, but to deal with a magician like Allen is simply death.

"Boss, you'd better ask the Knights Templar to do justice for you. ”

The captain of the security is obviously not a person who makes a death, as soon as he heard that the people of the Knights Templar were chasing Allen, he immediately left a sentence as if he had been stung by a bee and turned his head and left, leaving the boss alone, although he was reluctant to give a thousand gold coins, but there was nothing to do, the boss now understands that the other party fled last night and it was clearly a step for himself, otherwise even if he killed the security team, there was no way.

The shopkeeper reluctantly watched Alan and his party leave, thinking that the matter was over, but near noon, a sharp sound of horses' hooves came from outside the town, followed by a group of murderous cavalry rushing in from the main road south of the town.

The inhabitants were drawn to the sound of horses' hooves, and were surprised to see the horsemen with their banners bearing the distinctive papal logo, and griffon knights hovering over the town.
