Chapter 14: The Kobold Sacrifice
Rost was quiet at night, with only patrolling soldiers walking the streets.
The Count's sister was almost attacked, which was a dereliction of duty for Colmar, and although Reezer did not blame him, as a knight, Colmar also had his own persistence in his heart.
On the same day, patrols throughout Rost were strengthened, and civilians were not allowed to go out at will at night.
"It's not convenient for the carriage to pass ahead, so go down, sir. ”
Lei Zhe nodded, got out of the carriage, and there was a narrow dark alley in front of him, and no one knew where it led.
"Be careful. Seeing Sophia fall from the carriage unsteadily, Lei Zhe hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the person in his arms, and the warm nephrite made Lei Zhe's face quickly turn red.
"It's okay. ”
"It's fine. ”
Sophia's body was obviously a little prostration, Lei Zhe didn't think much about it, he could only carefully hug the girl and follow behind Colmar, this alley is very complicated, and I don't know how Sophia can tell the direction.
After scurrying around in the alley for a while, Lei Zhe had a new plan in his heart, in the future, if he had the money, he must renovate the outside of Roseley, and such chaos would not be conducive to the development of the inner city.
"Is this it?"
"Well, the Prophet should have noticed it, wait here, if the Prophet does not want to see us, we will not see her. ”
Lei Zhe didn't speak, but he was interested in this kobold prophet, divination and prediction of the future, which Lei Zhe didn't believe in before, after all, he had a normal education.
The night was so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing, and the prophet didn't know if he really had the power to let him, the earl, wait outside for a long time.
"It's coming. ”
"Miss Sophia, the Prophet asked me to bring you and the Count in. In the firelight, a man wearing a black turban on his head walked over, and after seeing his face clearly, Lei Zhe couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
It's really a dog's head.
When a pet dog's head has a human body, the surprise it brings is really frightening.
"No one else has to keep up. ”
"This. Colmar was stunned.
"Stay here and wait. ”
Colmar wanted to say something, but Lei Zhe's temperament he had recently learned a little more, and he didn't say much so he could only watch the two of them leave with the kobold.
This road is not very long, after going around, the alley leads to a main entrance, the peculiar structure is really incomprehensible, Lei Zhe does not know, if the alien race wants to survive in Rost, it can only hide like this.
"Prophet, man brought. ”
There was no response from inside the house, and the kobold didn't think much about pushing the door open.
"Go in, two of you, the Prophet is waiting inside. ”
The lights were so dim that they couldn't even see the interior of the house, and it wasn't the first time Sophia had visited, and the two soon found the Prophet's location.
"Don't you go in?"
"Muenna Prophet, I am Sophia. ”
"You're here, are your people okay?"
The old woman's voice came slowly from the house, and although it was a little weak, it seemed to be heard very clearly through both ears.
"They're all right, thank you. ”
"No, you have to thank the young Earl beside you. ”
"I don't need to thank me, all life is equal, and human beings are no different from other races. ”
"Hehe, interesting, those witches are in a cave in the east of the city, my apprentices will come to you to find them, Sophia will stay here for the next two days, and I will fake her death tomorrow at noon to let Sophia avoid the witch's curse." ”
"There's only one hour, and if you can't get rid of those witches in an hour, I can't guarantee Sophia's life. ”
"Can the Prophet really protect Sophia?"
"It's up to you. ”
"I see. Lei Zhe nodded, although he didn't understand how to avoid the curse, but since he could avoid what might happen, Lei Zhe still wanted to try, that group of witches even dared to threaten him, an earl, and naturally they would not be afraid of death.
"Amu, you go with the Earl. ”
"Yes, Grandma. A petite figure opened the wooden door and stepped out of it, its cute little head quite funny.
Huskies?
This was Lei Zhe's first thought.
"Lord Earl, I'm Amu. Amu walked up to Lei Zhe and gave a simple salute, and then turned a lot of left and right to Lei Zhe, this earl who had been in trouble in Rost recently naturally attracted much attention.
"Uh. Lei Zhe didn't know how to greet the creature in front of him, unlike Sophia, kobolds were completely different from humans.
"Are adults really not averse to the existence of alien races?"
"No, it won't. Shaking his head, he wasn't lying.
"I see, come with me, sir. Amu grinned, and then walked out the door.
"Sophia ......"
"I'm fine, if Sophia is gone, adults don't have to blame themselves. ”
"I'm not going to let you have anything to do. After a moment of silence, after saying this, Lei Zhe followed Amu out, and Sophia, who was left alone in the courtyard, was stunned for a while, her lips curled slightly, and she chuckled.
............
"You don't have to dress up like this......" Seeing Amu completely cover his head with a cloth, Lei Zhe smiled bitterly.
"Your Excellency does not know, despite your decree, humans are still very wary of us strange-looking races, and this is a must if you want to stay unnoticed during your journey. ”
"Can't you tell who the witch is in the manor?"
"It's very difficult, divination has always been inaccurate, and it takes at least 600 years of practice and excellent understanding to find out the correct results like grandma, and after each divination, grandma loses the ability to act, and has no energy to do other divination. Amu shook his head and explained.
"My lord, the Knight Captain Colmar is ready. ”
"Well, let them go to the location I said first, I will have another way to go with Amu, are you ready for what Adolf gave you?"
"Well, I've sent all the minions of the manor to the hall to prepare a lecture, and you can leave when the time comes. Adolf nodded with certainty.
"Go ahead, time is running out. ”
After Adolf left, Amu glanced at Lei Zhe and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Your Excellency doesn't actually have to go, the witch will definitely be able to solve it by handing it over to those knights, and you will be in other dangers in the past." ”
"No, I have to go, even if I don't join the fight, I promised her not to let her have an accident. Lei Zhe waved his hand, not wanting to discuss this issue with Amu, the things he had decided never wanted to change.
