014: Get out
As time passed, Pete's breathing became heavier and heavier, and Arthur and Orlando did not relax in the slightest, everyone waited for Eve to respond, whether to believe him or not. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Do you have a knighthood? I can't accept the allegiance of civilians. Eve, recovering from a brief moment of shock, asked cautiously, even though he looked like a man of real knightly training, Eve still had to be sure of his identity.
......To Eve's surprise, Pete did not reply to him immediately, but fell into a brief silence, and Pete seemed hesitant about the question. "I was trained by Sir Delamo Hurt, completed all my training and inherited his armour and horses. Eventually, Pete opened his mouth to answer Eve's question.
"What about the knighthood, have you inherited the title of Sir Dramore?" said Eve, with a bad feeling in her heart. “...... He didn't have time for the canonization ceremony before he returned to Mother Earth. Pete said in a deep voice, not quite wanting to bring it up.
Eve shook her head slightly, then helped Pete to his feet. "If so, I cannot accept your allegiance. But if you are as well trained as you say, I can make you my servant, and if you do well, I will canonize you as a true knight. Eve said that this was also a compromise solution, accepting Pete's allegiance in disguise.
"Huh...... Ahem......" Pete suddenly laughed softly, but because of his weak body, he couldn't help coughing a few times with a smile. "I can be your servant, but I don't accept your canonization, there is only one person in this world who has this power. He looked up at Eve, and his eyes were determined as if to say that there was no compromise in this matter.
"Of course, if you insist on doing so, I respect your choice. "Strange request, but this does not cost Eve anything, and naturally will not refuse.
"Hehe, so, can you trust me now?" Pete looked like he was going to fall at any moment, but he still supported his body and kept it as steady as possible. "Guys, we don't need to be so nervous. He said to Orlando and Arthur, who looked at Eve and saw Eve nodding before dropping their weapons.
"So, what ideas do you have for getting out of here?" asked Eve, as she put her sword back, and Arthur came over and held Pete in case he really couldn't hold it anymore.
“...... There's a hidden passage here, leading here, to the top floor. Pete said word for word, in order to make it clear. "On the top floor, there is a ladder that can be carried directly, up to a nearby hill, from where we can. Pete had no trouble finishing his sentence, and Arthur helped him to sit down.
"Then why don't you get out on your own?" Orlando asked, not knowing how long Pete had been locked up here, but it must have been a while, and there should have been plenty of time to escape.
"I'm so weak, and, I can't help it, go down the ladder. Pete paused, then continued, "That's too high, I can't help it, move." ”
"Poof. Arthur couldn't hold back his laughter, then covered his mouth and said, "I'm sorry. Orlando turned his head, it was rude to laugh out loud now. Eve felt a little headache for herself, why was there all these people around her.
"Alright, well, where's that secret passage?" asked Eve, a little helplessly, leaving all the questions until she escaped.
"Right there, behind that wall, pushing that brick, protruding brick. Pete said, pointing to the wall behind Eve. Eve followed Pete's instructions and pushed a protruding part of the wall, and sure enough, with a little force, a secret door was pushed open.
"Why leave a secret door in the prison?" said Arthur, puzzled. "Obviously, so that you can escape. Orlando quipped, and he couldn't figure out why.
"It doesn't matter, let's go. Eve ordered, and then led the way. Arthur followed closely with Pete, and Orlando stayed at the end, quietly closing the secret door after making sure he wasn't noticed.
The road was not very long, and in less than a few minutes, Eve and the others came to the exit, it was still dark, Eve looked down from the window, and found that it was a church, and his door was on the highest tower.
"This is it, there's a ladder that leads up to that hill. Pete pointed to a hill in the distance and said, just at the level of this tower, not very far away, and a ladder can indeed reach it.
Orlando brought the ladder and set it up on a cliff in the hill, and when he tried it, he was the first to climb it. "I think we'd better come one by one. Orlando said, he could feel that the ladder wasn't strong enough, and he wasn't sure if it would hold up when all four people came up.
Orlando wasn't quick, but he was steady, and it didn't take long for him to climb the cliff, then hold down the end of the ladder and wave his hand to indicate that it was all right.
"Is it okay to carry someone on your back? Eve asked, a little worried, he had never seen Arthur climb anything, and he was very uneasy about it.
"Don't worry, I can climb up from a trap with an adult elk on my back, and I can't even feel how light this guy is. Arthur said lightly, and he found a rope, tied Pete firmly to his back, and climbed over without danger.
Seeing that all three of them had passed without a hitch, Eve took a deep breath and said to herself, "You can, ma'am. Then he jumped on the ladder and walked straight over. Eve's balance was beyond the ordinary, not even a circus acrobat, except for a little shaky at first, and then she walked on the ground without slowing down.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to have this hand, my lady. Orlando exclaims that it takes not only skill, but also courage to do so.
"There's so much you don't know. Eve said with some amusement, then pulled the ladder over and tossed it aside. "How far is the nearest village from us?" asked Eve, who was a little tired from the drama, and besides, there was someone here who needed more rest.
"This is the border, my lady, and if you don't want to go back to Rudaburg, the nearest Oak Village will have to walk for at least a week. ”
"A week? No, we can't wait that long. Eve almost forgot what she was here for, until Orlando mentioned the time and remembered that she had to rescue the hapless wanderer.
"Maybe not, if we had a carriage. Arthur said, and then pointed down, and Eve saw that at the door of the church, there was a carriage of extraordinary workmanship.
...... Dawn was approaching, Orlando was driving the carriage on the way to McCanntown, the three people in the car were already asleep, the night was indeed too tired, almost just lay down, the three of them fell into a deep sleep.
"I can't sleep so peacefully in a carriage ...... young man," Orlando shook his head lightly as he looked back at the sleeping trio, volunteering to take on the task of getting on the road. "Eveluna Falst, what an interesting lady. He looked at Eve in his sleep and couldn't help but sigh. "Hopefully I won't regret it, alas, I feel like I've already regretted it. Orlando sighed with emotion, and stopped looking at it and concentrated on driving forward.
As soon as dawn ended, the sun was fully revealed, Arthur and Pete woke up, and Eve was unaware of the problem of lying in bed again, and refused to get out of the car.
"I doubt that your young lady was born of the wrong sex, and if he had been a man, he would have been famous for her bravery. Orlando laughed and scooped a spoonful of broth, and took some luggage as he stole the carriage, which was full of dry food, enough for the four of them to walk around half of Nord.
"You don't have to doubt, Orlando. Arthur tried to nibble on the bread in his hand, but it was so hard that he had to soak it in his own broth. "She's been famous for a long time, and then in Abron. ”
"What are you talking about? I heard my name. Eve rubbed her sleepy eyes and stepped out of the car, yawning, her hair completely untidied without the help of the maid.
"Nothing, my lady. Orlando said perfunctorily. "It's just a discussion of your accomplishments. ”
"Don't, I don't have anything like that. Eve scooped herself a bowl of broth, tasted it, and then said with some unhappiness: "This tastes terrible, do we only have air-dried meat?"
"Don't ask for too much, Eve, it's better than gnawing on the bark. Arthur said heartlessly, the taste of air-dried meat is indeed not something that the noble lady can accept for a while.
Eve shook her head, then drank the bowl of broth and said to Orlando, "Anyway, I think there are some things that need to be asked. ”
Orlando shrugged, then said, "I know what you're asking, ma'am." He said lightly, "I am not familiar with the Maghylian church, let alone their followers, but they have mastered this secret passage, and I have just discovered it." ”
"Well, what about you? Pete Howles, why are you in prison with them?" Eve accepted Orlando's statement, and then asked Pete again.
“...... The church soldiers ransacked a village in the name of God. He tried his best to restrain himself from taking small sips of broth, so as not to be strangled. "I was outnumbered, and I was not able to defeat them, so I was arrested, and they thought I was a knight, so they didn't kill me, and they thought of finding an opportunity to exchange me for ransom. He said with some self-deprecation, not knowing whether he was mocking his identity or force.
"Divine power cannot be above royal power, don't the Nords understand?" Eve said angrily, this was common sense to her, but the Nords just couldn't seem to understand it.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of changing the narrative and doing the same thing over and over again. Pete jerked the bowl of hot soup clean as if to vent again. "I haven't asked yet, what are we going to do, if my knowledge is not outdated, and Falster is the earl of Kyrrydan, what reason is there to come to Nord?" asked Pete rhetorically, which was what he wanted to know most at the moment.
Eve explained the ins and outs to him, and Pete nodded thoughtfully. "So, you're going to catch up with that Lord Hakan, aren't you?" said Pete, looking up at the crowd. "If so, I know where to find them. ”
"Really, where is it?" Eve, who was worried about not knowing where to start, immediately came to her senses.
"Hehe, Bishop of Muffylia, you can only go to one place. Pete said with a sneer. "That's 'Cathedral' Hart. ”
