Things changed much faster than one might expect, and if the fact that Count Murathu's wife was alien had not been revealed, he would still be in peace as his earl. Those who murdered their brothers and sisters will not be held accountable at all. But when his wife is of different race, all sorts of charges come up if anyone wants to really work against him.

The charge of aiding in the murder of a foreigner was enough to burn Count Murathu. Of course, if the Holy Roman Emperors had paid attention to this, perhaps something else would have happened. The problem is that, as far as the current judgment is concerned, the emperor is really paying attention here, only the focus is completely different.

"Driving ......"

With this sound, six horses quickly burst out of the shadows of Tobel City in the dark night. Taking advantage of the moonlight, we quickly galloped along a mountain road.

Xiao Yan was at the front, and a little girl in his arms was sleeping soundly. It was the youngest one, with blond hair and a chubby little face. At this time, Xiao Yan was using the ancient methods of the East to tie the child in his arms, and tried not to bend over, so as not to affect the child's body.

Behind him, Count Muratto rode his horse with a solemn face, his mutilated arms tightly wrapped around his older child. Although it was late at night, the child had not yet fallen asleep. Perhaps she had been through so much tonight that she was still snuggled up to her father's arms, as if afraid that Count Muratou would disappear in the next second. The Count's handling skills are fantastic, even with only his left hand. It also allows the galloping horse to maintain a smooth speed, and the person sitting on the horse does not feel extraordinarily bumpy.

On the horse in the back, it was Sylvia, which was Xiao Yan's request, and it was also what Her Royal Highness the eldest princess needed. Since Sylvia was a priestess who had been taken in on the way to the hunchback of the choir, and had not yet had time to register with the Stuttgart Women's Monastery, she was also a stranger to the others.

In addition to this, there were three empty horses behind them, but they were carrying a large number of necessities of life. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble. They had to take a rough and dangerous path. On this path, they will not only have to face tough ambient light, but will most likely also face many unknown enemies.

"Watch out for the Inquisition, they're bound to show up."

Before Xiao burned them and set off. The eldest princess reminded Xiao Yan: "Those guys don't think about the situation of the Holy See at all. In their opinion. As long as all the heretics can be eliminated, then this world realm is the Holy See. I even doubt their devotion to the Lord, that they can do all the dark things. They will certainly do everything in their power to bring Count Muratto and his two daughters back to the Holy Mountain. ”

"Other than that. The 'falcon' under the Emperor's Majesty is also something you should pay attention to. They can appear at any time where you least expect them. These warriors, raised by the Emperor, are powerful beyond your imagination. Avoid engaging them head-on as much as possible, as they will quickly come together and attack you. ”

"Also, I always think that there is another black hand that is secretly influencing all this. His Majesty's attack on the city of Tobel seems to be muddy and worried, and it is not his style at all. I suppose he must have been like me, with incomplete information and no idea what Count Murato's wife was. Because of this, he was reluctant to appear in person, but used various clues to get the people of the Chastity Society to come forward. In other words, someone secretly gave the emperor the news, but did not explain everything to the emperor clearly. Now, the man behind the scenes should be keeping an eye on what is happening to Tobel, and will be involved in the action against you if he finds out that his plan has failed. ”

After doing these analyses, Princess Radnell looked at Xiao Yan very seriously and said, "Take Murlatto to Stuttgart, and you will get the support of the Correction Sect." Believe me, the Reformers will never make empty promises. What you get, definitely more than you give. ”

Xiao Yan originally thought that he would stay in Tobel City for a few more days and see if he could find his companions, but it turned out that it was just a dance party that ended without a full start, and his plan was completely frustrated. This reminded him of when he first became a trialist, and all the step-by-step plans were always interrupted and then failed.

Behind him, the older girl finally couldn't bear the monotony of the night, yawned, and arched hard into her father's arms. Her eyes were a little open, and after shaking her head hard, the little girl asked vaguely, "Shall we go back?" ”

Murato's arms increased the strength of his arms, which would have made his wound painful, but he did not care. After hearing his daughter's question, the Count was quiet for a while, and replied gently: "Yes, go back." ”

The little girl did not realize that the subject of "we" was not added to Murato's answer, and after hearing her father's answer, she naively thought that the trip might be a hike, and finally closed her eyes in Murato's arms.

"In another twenty minutes, we'll find a place to rest."

Xiao Yan said in front of him: "The horse is already a little tired, and the moon will disappear soon, even if we can see, the horse can't see the road ahead, so it's easy to have an accident if it goes on like this." ”

Muratto let out a "uh" and did not respond to Xiao Yan's words. Relatively speaking, he cares more about whether the little girl in Xiao Yan's arms is safe.

Xiao Yan glanced up at Sylvia a little behind, and on the galloping horses, Sylvia seemed to have something wrong.

"What happened?"

Xiao Yan turned his head sideways, looked at Sylvia from Murato's side and asked, "What did you find?" ”

Sylvia replied after a moment, "Someone is following us, not far away." I could feel that he was following very closely, and his eyes were fixed on us all the time. ”

Xiao Yan frowned, but he didn't change his plan to rest, and after twenty minutes, he restrained the horse on time. Then he jumped off his horse, drew the broadsword that had been in his hand for a moment, and looked left and right. Behind him, Count Murathu, too, dismounted, with some weariness, and took the older girl from the saddle.

Xiao Yan glanced at Murato and asked, "Can your right hand hold her?" ”

Muratto nodded and said, "Yes, no problem. ”

"That's good," Xiao Yan said, putting down the younger child in his arms, and then handed it to Murato, "Stand here, don't move." Don't sit, don't walk, don't talk, don't do anything without my orders. If you still want to keep these two children safe, listen to me. ”

Count Murathu held his youngest child in his left hand, looked at Xiao Yan and said, "You don't look like a merchant's child now. ”

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "You can think of me as a pirate. ”

With that, Sylvia had already jumped off her horse, her bayonet sword glinting. Looking at Xiao Yan, Sylvia whispered, "He's still nearby, but he hasn't come over, maybe he's observing us somewhere nearby." ”

"The Awakened of the Other World?"

Xiao Yan muttered casually in Russian, and with this question, he had found a relatively flat environment on one side of the road. The summer Alps were still a little shady at night, and all kinds of grass that Xiao Yan didn't know were piled up in the place where Xiao Yan was looking, and Xiao Yan waved it in the grass with the broad-bladed sword in his hand. Except for a few bugs that made the sound of jumping away, there was nothing else. The Young Awoken drew an irregular circle on the ground, motioning for Count Muratto to bring his child in, and then chanted in a low voice, and a halo of light burst out in this irregular circle, and then completely covered the circle like flowing light.

Murato, looking at all this, exclaimed in a low voice, and said, "I don't know that the pirates of the Dao can still use such a high-level divine art, because the Lord is blind to all evils?" ”

Xiao Yan made a "shhh We'll leave again tomorrow at 5 a.m. ”

Sylvia asked, "How far are we from Tobel City?" ”

"I don't know the road, about 20 miles? Or 30 miles. In other words, I had a gap of about 30 miles between me and our pursuers. ”

Xiao Yan replied, and the light began to gradually converge, and finally began to comb around the circle flowing in the drawn tunnel. Everything looks pretty normal.

It was only at this time that Xiao Yan said to Count Murathu: "You can sit down, let your child lie down, and have a good rest." You don't have to think about the outside affairs, I have promised Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to bring you to Stuttgart, and I will never break my word. ”

Count Muratto nodded, took the felt that Sylvia had handed her, placed it on the ground, and then placed the two children on the felt instead. After doing this, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yan's back. By this time, the Young Awoken had expanded the search range to a distance of 30 yards. Outside of this distance, if you want to attack, it will take at least 1 second from the time the opponent appears to the time you start attacking. And for Xiao Yan, 1 second is enough.

Sylvia pulled out a piece of felt again and handed it to Count Murathu, saying, "It's cold at night in the mountains, so you'd better be careful." ”

Count Muletu asked, "What about you?" ”

Xiao Yan glanced back and said, "We have the protection of the Lord and can go without rest for a long time. (To be continued......)
