Chapter 22: Escape
Simon seems to have really made a deal with Alwyn, if the opposite demon doesn't make a move, then he won't make a move.
The demon on the other side didn't see a shadow either.
In this case, let's just treat it as if there is no high-end combat power involved. Anyway, from Alwin's point of view, it seems that he can only do this.
"You're threatening me?" Sean's eyes widened.
"I'm just stating what's at stake to you, helping you see the situation clearly. Alvin replied softly, "If you need time to think about it, I can give you time." But I'm afraid you don't have enough time. ”
Sean's mouth trembled slightly, and he tried to say something several times, but he couldn't say it. The sweat on his forehead was running down his eyes. He wiped it, then continued to look at Alwin.
The two sides are at a stalemate with each other.
"You're just a prisoner, and you're trying to negotiate conditions with me?"
"But behind me there is the White Bone Holy Light Holy See, there are more than four hundred lichs over 10,000 years old, and there is the Giant Snake City. And you have nothing behind you. Even if I can't hold a weapon in my hand, I'm still the captain of the fifth detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon. ”
Walking to the window, Sean craned his head and looked out of the window.
At this moment, Alphonse, the Infernal Demon, was watching him, but he didn't notice it at all.
Gritting his teeth, Sean turned back to Alvin and said, "What do you need me to do?" Even with armor, I probably wouldn't be able to defeat it. I don't know exactly what kind of power the demon gave her. ”
"Help me get out of here. Alvin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Send me back to White City." By the time we got to White City, we were already halfway there. ”
"It can't be. It was too far from here to Baicheng, and it was easy for her to catch up. ”
"Matthew and George, didn't you catch up? ”
"This ......" Sean didn't know how to refute Alvin for a while.
After a slight pause, Alwyn continued, "Don't hesitate, you don't have much time to hesitate. From the moment you step into this cell, there's no turning back. ”
Silence, silence, after a long silence, Sean gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
......
"Open the gates, quick!"
At midnight, Sean rode his horse and hurried to the city gate with his cronies. It was followed by a carriage.
"Yes!"
The two soldiers in charge of guarding the gate hurriedly trotted down from the city wall and began to twist the gears that locked the gate.
With a roar, the huge door panel fell to the ground.
Sean took Miller, his cronies, and his men and rushed out of the city gate with a carriage.
In the violently shaking carriage, the wounded Alvin sat crookedly, and next to him sat another man who was unkempt and couldn't even see his face clearly.
This is undoubtedly the "dude next door".
"I ...... I asked you to save me, but I didn't say that I would save me like this! The envoy will catch up soon, and we will die halfway through!"
"If you don't want to go, you can open the door now and walk back on your own. I can stop the carriage immediately. ”
As he spoke, Alwin raised his hand and tapped on the front plank of the carriage.
"Don't!" the jailer man screamed in fright.
"Sir, is there anything wrong?" came the voice of the coachman from the front.
Taking a deep breath, Alvin turned his face sideways and said to the driver through the planks of the carriage, "It's okay, you keep going." ”
"Okay!"
In the carriage, the jailer looked at Alvin with a pair of dark eyes. He asked softly, "Are you really on the side of justice?"
"Why do you ask?" Looking at the scenery passing by the car window, Alvin said casually, "The captain of the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights is undoubtedly on the side of justice. Not only that, but also ready to give their lives for justice. ”
"But I feel like you're more of a demon. The jailer brother said earnestly, "Have you ever heard the whispers of the abyss? You convince him in prison, like a demon. I thought that a righteous man should defeat the enemy openly on the battlefield. ”
Alvin was stunned for a moment, smiled, and replied, "I'm sorry, I'm not strong enough to be that strong. Work hard later. ”
......
The moonlight shone obliquely through the castle windows on the floor of the room, leaving an oval circle of light.
Dophna was sleeping quietly on the lord's bed.
Suddenly, she snapped open her eyes and sat up.
At the foot of her bed, Alphonse, the Infernal Demon, was crouching quietly.
"What's the matter?" Dophna asked, her eyes wide.
"Ran. Alphonse replied softly.
"What do you mean?"
"Elwin, the captain of the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights you captured, ran away. ”
"It can't be!"
"But he did run, and Sean ran away with him. ”
Dophna got up and hurried to the window to look out.
The gates were shut.
"It's been a while, you shouldn't be so Sean. Alphonse said with a blank face.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Dophna asked, looking back.
"To teach you a lesson, you're too headstrong. Wayward to the point of recklessness. You intimidate Sean and make him panic. The result of panic is betrayal. You should learn to raise a group of your cronies and let them work for you. Villains have the logic of villains, and at any time, they cannot be counted on to be loyal to their subordinates. ”
"Even if I do, I won't keep him. I was going to kill him, but I just didn't have an excuse. ”
Dophna hurriedly wrapped herself in her coat and rushed out.
Alphonse's gaze slowly slid with Dophna's figure, and she continued to sit motionless at the head of the bed.
......
On the starry night, Sean led a total of fifteen horsemen and a carriage carrying Alwyn on the winding road.
Halfway through, they stopped in front of a small warehouse in the mountains.
The soldiers quickly dismounted, opened the warehouse, took off their armor, and stuffed all their weapons and armor, including military harness, into the warehouse. Then quickly change into a businessman's attire. Even Elwin's carriage had been changed.
Continuing on horseback for a while, they quickly lit a bonfire on the side of the road and set up camp. I pretend to be a traveler who camps.
......
Dophna flew over their heads without noticing.
......
After Dophna left, the soldiers who had been hiding in the tent quickly came out, took Alwyn and walked back again. At the same time, leave the camp as it is, as if the travelers are resting in their tents.
"You're ready?" Elwin whispered as he got into the carriage.
Holding Alvin, Sean whispered, "I just want to live." I want to live, and I want to have wealth and freedom. I'm not interested in being on the opposite side of the Knights of the Silver Moon. Can it fulfill me?"
"Wealth cannot be promised, and I don't have it myself. ”
"Yes, what is the point of pursuing justice?"
"It's just justice. ”
Eventually, Sean took Alvin with the jailer dude to a small village in the middle of nowhere, where all the horses were hidden. Then I hiked a little more up the mountain and came to a hunter's hut in the mountains.
"She can fly, and she's fast. We can't compete with her. If you catch up, it's over. However, she is only one person. Without me, she probably wouldn't even be able to figure out how to move her troops. As long as we get rid of her, there is a way to leave. But until then, we'd better stay out of the way. Such a large number of people walking on the road are easy to be spotted by her. ”
"How long will you hide?"
"I don't know. Hesitating, Sean whispered, "At least hide until she loses patience, right?"
"Losing patience?" Alvin froze.
"Yes, impatience. Sean snorted coldly and said, "That's just a little girl, a willful little girl." I don't quite understand why the devil chose her. ”
......
Time passed bit by bit.
At dawn, when the sky was gray, Dophna had returned to the empty traveler's camp disguised by Sean when she found herself fooled.
The bonfire had been completely extinguished, leaving only charred branches, sporadic flames, and wisps of smoke drifting into the sky.
Dophna slammed her foot on the campfire.
The rising ash splattered and drifted into the air.
Dophna was barefoot, foot after foot, stomping heavily, as if venting.
"Doesn't it hurt?" Alphonse figured out behind her.
Dophna jerked her head back, staring blankly at Alphonse, gasping heavily.
"Where did they go? You know where they are, right?"
The corners of Alphonse's mouth rose slightly, revealing his fangs, and said with a smile: "I knew about two hours ago, but now it may not be." ”
"And where were they two hours ago?"
"I don't want to tell you. ”
"You don't want to tell me?" Dophna widened.
"Yes, I don't want to tell you. Remember when I told you, the whole Karp is insignificant in the abyss. We don't care what becomes here, we care about you. But you've let me down. Some level of disappointment. ”
"I didn't fail——! Dophna screamed.
"Really, can you get him back now?"
"Yes!"
"How are you going to catch it?"
"He's still in Karp, I'm sure! He's still in Karp! I'll find him and tear him up!"
"Okay, then I'll wait. I hope you don't let me down this time, otherwise, I will take back the power I lent you. Do you know what that would be, what would they do to you if you weren't an emissary?" Alphonse chuckled, the figure disappearing into the wind like a sculpture made of sand.
Dophna's eyes widened, and she froze in place.
