To the north of the royal capital, in a wasteland that had deviated from the main road, a horse-drawn carriage was speeding away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the front of the car, sat Michelle and Benjamin.

Before, after leaving the royal capital, the two had been rushing towards Pearl Lake. However, after walking for a while, Michelle seemed to have discovered something. Her face changed slightly, she stopped, crouched down, and pressed her ears to the ground.

Seeing this, Benjamin couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"What's wrong?"

Instead of answering, Michelle made a silencing gesture and motioned for Benjamin to remain silent. Then she pressed herself to the ground, frowning, as if concentrating, listening to something in the distance.

Is there a situation?

Benjamin knew what Michelle was doing. Therefore, he did not bother Michelle, but stood aside and quietly waited for the results of Michelle's listening.

About five minutes passed.

"The paladins came after them, there were a lot of people, and I heard the sound of their horses' hooves. Michelle stood up, patted the dust off his body, and said, "However, the sound of their horses' hooves is very chaotic, and I don't know which way they are chasing...... Even, many of them went to the royal capital. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help frowning.

The method of listening to sounds on the ground had been read in some books before. And now, Michel can hear the hoofs of the paladin, which means that the distance between the people of the church and them is not far away.

Trouble......

The place where they are now is quite remote, but the north of the royal capital is such a big place, the other party is riding horses, and there are many people, no matter what, it is enough to find it again.

And when the paladins conduct a large search, they rely on two legs, how far can they run?

Unless they were able to get out of the area before the paladins spotted them, it was only a matter of time before the Church people caught up.

"It's better to ...... How many horses shall we grab?" Thinking so, Benjamin suddenly blurted out a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Michelle looked at Benjamin, and raised her eyebrows in surprise at first. Then, as if after some consideration, she nodded her head and expressed her approval of the idea.

So, there is the scene where they are now sitting on the carriage.

Their original intention, of course, was to snatch two fast horses, sit on them, and gallop all the way, running farther and farther. However, two fast horses were so easy to find—they couldn't really grab the paladin's horse.

At the same time, in order to avoid being discovered by the paladins, they cannot return to the main road and can only wander carefully around the edges. As soon as Michelle heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching, they immediately turned away.

In this way, it was not easy for them to crash into a carriage.

The carriage looked plain and a little shabby. However, it happened that the carriage was empty, and it was parked on the side of the road, and there was no one. The horses tied to the cart were bored and began to rub their noses against the ground.

Therefore, when they saw the carriage for the first time, they couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

At that time, Michelle cautiously walked to the carriage. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the carriage, she took a look around her, crouched down again, and put her ear back to the ground, trying to find out what the paladin was doing.

However, soon, she stood up and said with a frown: "All the sound of horses' hooves has disappeared, and those paladins seem to have all returned to the royal capital. Moreover, not only the paladins, but also those who left the royal capital with us, the sound of their horses' hooves was gone. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin couldn't help but feel a little weird.

The empty carriage that appeared on the side of the road for no reason, the paladins who went out of the city and returned, and the companions who disappeared inexplicably...... If he hadn't determined the attributes of this world, he would have thought that he had strayed into some supernatural copy again.

Could it be that gold began to fall from the heavens in the royal capital, so they changed their minds and ran back.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and looked at the ground around the carriage again.

The surrounding ground is very messy, with horseshoe prints all over the place. Obviously, the horses that have been here are definitely not the only ones tethered to the carriage. Not only that, but more importantly, some of the horseshoe prints can still be faintly seen on the small traces of the cross.

would print on the horseshoe, such a pompous thing, probably only the church can do it.

However, the horseshoe prints bearing the traces of the church ended in this vicinity. Looking at the direction, the people seemed to stop here, and then returned the way they came.

"Looks like the owner of the carriage must have been brought back by the paladin. After thinking about it, Benjamin came to a conclusion.

Michelle nodded as well.

However, a rough inference about the origin of the carriage did not seem to help them speculate on the actions of the church. Why? If they don't want people to leave, why do they open the gates and let people out?

It's weird......

Moreover, he is the one the church really wants to arrest. The paladin only caught a bunch of innocent passers-by, but he didn't even have the posture to start a search, which one is this singing?

Benjamin was still wondering, but Michelle didn't care so much. I saw her walk straight forward, hold the handle, and board the carriage in a few steps.

"Whatever the church is going to do, there is no need for us to refuse when the carriage arrives. She looked inside the carriage again, turned back and said, "Come on, there is nothing wrong with this carriage, we must get away from the royal capital as soon as possible." ”

So, Benjamin also got into the carriage.

The carriage was set up, but the two did not drive directly in the direction of Pearl Lake. On the contrary, in order to avoid being discovered by the church, they were prepared to take a long detour.

They went a little bit more to the west.

To the northwest of the royal capital, a few dozen kilometers later, you will enter the mountains from the plains. The mountains are not high, mostly small hills, only one or two are slightly higher. Among them, the most famous mountain is called Mount North, which was once the camp of the most notorious bandits in the kingdom, the Norths bandits.

The bandits have long been exterminated, and the boss Scar Man who escaped by luck was also killed by Benjamin with a shot, and North Mountain at this moment should be just an empty barren mountain.

Of course, they weren't going to hide there. If you really want to go there, the road will be a little detoured, and it is easy to have long nights and dreams. They just wanted to take advantage of the complicated terrain in the vicinity to avoid the church and sneak around into the Pearl Valley.

Through the underground tunnels, they will reach the Valley of the Broken Army, and finally escape from the Kingdom of Hori, this is their real goal!

In this way, the general route of the entire escape was determined, and the two drove down without stopping.

Time passed little by little, and little by little they also moved away from the royal capital. Along the way, nothing happened to them, they didn't bump into anything, and the haunting sense of danger began to slowly subside. Even Benjamin, at this moment, has entered the space of consciousness and continues to repair the crack.

Gradually, as the carriage traveled along the way, the time passed noon, and the sky was bright and shining, and the shadows of the surrounding trees in the sunlight gradually lengthened.

The restoration work was going on for a long time, and Benjamin felt mentally exhausted, so he left the space of consciousness, ready to rest first.

In the carriage, he glanced at the completely unfamiliar surroundings around him, and suddenly, turning his head, looked at Michelle.

It just so happened that there was nothing to do in the carriage, and the doubts in his heart were also time to be resolved.

"In the beginning, you behaved as if you had other intentions. But now, why do I suddenly have the feeling that you are really helping me?" he asked, frowning.
