Chapter 20: Elopement
Before Andrew could react, Andreevich had already jumped up and jumped onto the roof. Then it disappeared without a trace.
Andrew stood there and took a deep breath.
After a while, he turned around and climbed the window back into his room, closed the window, but opened his eyes wide and peeked out through the glass, silent.
The silver moonlight swayed quietly, and the city, which was already covered with snow, looked extremely pure at night, but it also revealed a slight cold feeling.
Far away, in the distance that Andrew couldn't see, Andrevich sat down slowly on the roof against a chimney, looked at Andrew's position and said to himself: "I don't believe you dare to refuse me." โ
As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes.
The clouds in the sky flowed slowly, and the silver crescent moon shuttled through the clouds.
The wind blew softly through the empty streets.
The whole world is silent.
In the blink of an eye, it was dawn. The first rays of sunlight illuminated the head of the towering fortress of Lyn Lรณpez. The dwarven soldiers stood on the towers and looked down on the city.
Gradually, the number of people on the streets increased, and the adventurers' guild reopened its doors.
Andrevich, who had slept on the roof against the chimney all night, finally opened his eyes and stretched.
"Whew...... I slept with a sore back. Rubbing his shoulder, he slowly stood up. In the stunned gaze of the master in the courtyard, he jumped to the roof next to him, looked around, and continued to jump in the direction of Christina's house.
In the blink of an eye, his feet had already stepped on the roof of Christina's neighbor, and he had made a deep footprint. Aunt Lida downstairs was clearing the snow, and looked at the person who suddenly appeared on the roof of her house with a stunned face: "Who are you? Why are you on the roof of my house?
Glancing at Aunt Lida who was babbling in the yard in disgust, Andreevich took out his mechanical pocket watch and looked at it: "It's eleven o'clock, and there is only one hour left before the deadline." โ
With that, he sat cross-legged on the roof, staring at Christina's house quietly. That gaze kept going back and forth between Andrew and Christina's room.
"Haven't you gotten up yet? Shouldn't you hurry up and say goodbye at this time? Do you want to sneak away and not tell Christina?"
Time ticked by, and Aunt Lida had already called all the guards in the city.
"That's the man! Climb on my roof! Get him down, I suspect he pulled the in front of the door last month!"
"Hey, who are you?" shouted the fat guard with his helmet crooked, "Hurry down! Why are you pooping in front of someone's door!"
All of a sudden, the eyes of the whole street were drawn to it.
Andreevich's brow jumped sharply, he glanced at the fat guard in disgust, and turned his head to stare at Christina's house. Not going to bother with them.
"Is this an elf?"
"It looks like an elf. โ
"Why do elves like to in front of someone's door? And it's such a cold winter. โ
"I don't know, a lot of people have strange fetishes. Maybe it's some kind of psychological trauma. โ
"I look very young, but I've been traumatized. It's pathetic. โ
"That's an elf, maybe it's hundreds of years old. โ
"Could it be that you're too old to forget where your toilet is?"
In the blink of an eye, a large number of residents had gathered in Aunt Lida's yard to watch the excitement, all pointing at him.
Andreevich's brow jumped, jerking, desperately suppressing his anger, holding back, not wanting to deal with these creatures that seemed dispensable to him.
"If you don't come down again, we will use force! It is extremely immoral to in front of other people's doors, I advise you to quickly go down and turn yourself in! We can give you a fine reduction appropriately!" the fat guard was still shouting at him.
Gritting his teeth, Andreevich shouted angrily: "Shut up for me, and if you talk nonsense, I won't be able to hold it back!"
All of a sudden, the people in the courtyard were in an uproar.
"What did he just say?"
"He said he wouldn't be able to hold back ......"
"Does he want to in public?
Andreevich's whole face instantly turned red. Just when he was about to do it regardless of it, he suddenly noticed one thing - the gold coins scattered around Christina's room were missing!
He was stunned for a moment, and quickly concentrated on sweeping it with his own perception, and the next moment, his eyes were already wide.
"Neither of you are there?"
"Hey, listen, pooping in front of someone's door is just as immoral as on someone's roof! If you do, I'm going to ...... you."
Before the fat guard could finish speaking, Andreevich had already dived, jumped directly from the roof of Aunt Leda to the courtyard of Christina's house, and then stretched out his hand, and with a "bang", the glass of the two windows shattered at the same time.
"He's trying to run!" "He's going to run!" screamed Aunt Lida.
"Don't let him run away, he'll be back and around!" the residents coaxed.
"Chase โโ! don't let him run!" the guards really went into action.
At the same time, Andreevich had already stormed Kristina's room. Lifting Christina's quilt, he saw only two pillows disguised as humanoids. Then came Andrew's room, and the same was true.
In addition to this, there are faint mana fluctuations. This shows that they used to simulate their own breath here, but the magic didn't last long before it dissipated.
All of a sudden, Andreevich's face turned green, and his fists crackled.
"These two guys...... You chose to run away?"
At this moment, a large group of guards rushed in behind him and surrounded Andreevich. The fat guard at the head shouted: "You still trespass on people's houses? Listen, I now suspect that you are a thief, and it is no longer possible to apologize and fine! You must go back with me to be investigated!"
As soon as the fat guard finished speaking, there was a "boom", and a bright golden mana exploded.
......
A roar was heard in the distance, and Christina, cloaked and hooded, looked back in the direction of home.
A cloud of smoke drifted far into the sky.
"Hurry up, don't look back!" Andrew urged, pushing the cart.
Each gold coin is about fifteen grams. More than 10,000 gold coins, that's about 200 kilograms. With Andrew's physical strength, it was almost impossible to run away with two hundred kilograms of something, and he could only push a cart. In addition to a bunch of daily necessities and luggage used to cover up, there were also four mice hidden in the car.
Christina turned around and asked, "Are we eloped like that?"
"Uh...... Probably counted. Andrew sighed helplessly: "Hold the hood down a little, you'll be too easily recognized." I don't care, not many people know me. โ
"Hmm!" Christina happily took Andrew's hand and looked excited: "So where are we going?"
"Wherever it is, it can't be here. Maybe we can find a cave and then you can live like any other dragon. โ
"I listen to you. Christina excitedly took Andrew's hand.
Looking at the road ahead, Andrew was a little confused.
Elope with a dragon...... This is probably something that Andrew never dreamed of before. Even if you think about it, you feel impossible. Why do such a dangerous thing?
But fate is so delicate, what can't happen, it just happens.
Then again, Andrew seems to have been adrift and never settled. Even in his days as the Chief Archmage and with Gray, this was true.
It's probably fate.
He had never wanted to settle down before, he always felt that the world was very big, and he wanted to go to the conquest. But now, he just wants a place where he can live well.
Or rather, a place where he and Christina can live well.
......
"Quick! Hurry up! This guy is a magician! He's already wounded fifteen of us!" the guard shouted.
The entire Limlopez soldiers began to gather here. There are not only humans, but also dwarves, cyclops, and all kinds of strange species. Even some of the mercenary groups of the Adventurers' Guild were called.
One after another, fire magic exploded in the city.
Enraged, Andreevich wanted to calm down and imagine where Andrew and Christina had gone, and to find clues to their escape, but it was impossible.
He had already provoked the entire Lam Lopez, and he could only deal with the soldiers and mercenaries who were rushing towards him.
In the corner, Aunt Sarah watched in amazement as Andrevich shuttled back and forth in the billowing smoke, cautiously glanced down at the ten gold coins in her hand, and hurriedly put them away so that no one else could see them.
The whole city was already in chaos.
A conscription order was sent to every mercenary leader of the slightest prestige.
"What the hell is going on!" Bian VI screamed as he said in his office.
......
"You sit on the cart, I'll push you away. โ
"But I'm stronger than you. โ
"But I'm a man. Andrew wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "You should give me a chance to perform." โ
Christina hesitated, looking at him.
"My life is short relative to you. I can only live for more than a thousand years, but you can get infinitely closer to eternal life. I'm just a moment in your life. I hope this moment is wonderful for you. Give me a chance to perform, okay?"
Christina stepped forward, hugged Andrew tightly, and then obediently sat down on the cart.
"Don't worry, they won't be able to bring you back. I've seen a lot of winds and waves, and nothing can stump me. I'm the best at running away. Andrew wiped his sweat and pushed the cart slowly down the snow-covered streets.
Countless guards and mercenaries passed by him, but none of them recognized him.
Christina pressed her hood and looked at him cautiously, smiling sweetly. Four little mice stood on her shoulders and chirped.
The sun shines silently, and the snow melts quietly.
From a distance, it looks like a poor middle-aged man, pushing a cart, carrying the only possessions, and his wife to move his family because of his livelihood. It's so mundane that it won't attract anyone's attention no matter where it is placed.
