Chapter 22: In whose name do you swear?
Abin dragged the female knight's hand and galloped forward, the effects of prayer and strength and agility roared and surged in his body and veins, giving full play to every ounce of his body's strength, and the trees on both sides were flying backwards, and from time to time small branches and leaves grazed his face with burning pain, cutting small bloody wounds.
The boots on the feet seem to have an acceleration effect, whether it is stepping or jumping, it feels much lighter, if this is the kind of magic effect that does not replenish the magic power at all and takes effect permanently, plus the 'water crossing technique' that the man said also has high-level water magic, this can no longer be regarded as ordinary magic equipment, it is definitely a rare treasure that can be compared to the glorious armor on the female knight.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the role of the Radiant Armor and this boot is very different. The blessing of heaven once a day can't be activated, this set of precious and magical armor is now just a pile of iron sheets in the way, plus the injury has not fully recovered, although the body is still assisted by white magic, but the pace of the female knight is not much faster than ordinary people, and the speed depends on Yabin's pull to keep up.
Even so, the speed of the two of them in the city had outpaced that of the galloping horses. But the shouts and footsteps behind were getting closer.
At the forefront of the pursuit was the masked woman Jessica, whose slender figure leaped silently through the forest, blocked by the trees, like a civet cat made of shadows. If it weren't for the fear that she was not the opponent of the two of Abin and the female knight, and had to wait for a few companions behind, she might have caught up long ago.
In second place was the mysterious man, cursing viciously as he chased along the way, followed by Hilton with two swords and a werewolf-turned-druid. Although the druid reacted the least, he waited for the first few people to run a distance before he reacted and took out the wolf head strap on his head. But after transforming into a werewolf, he quickly caught up with him.
In the end, it was the empty-handed Xilika, and the two-handed giant sword of Lou Baijin was undoubtedly impossible to bring up to chase people. Although the bear's tall body had a agility and speed that was completely disproportionate to his size, it was only because his body was so large that many of the people in front of him could be transported to the local authority in a flash, but he couldn't, and he could only go around it, or simply knock the trees in front of him away.
Needless to say, Axis and the old man. Even the man's roar didn't wake up the two magicians, who were completely asleep. Originally, Hilton wanted these two people to add acceleration to everyone, but thinking that the half-asleep spirit might not even be able to send the spell and wasting time in vain, he had to chase it like this.
But it seems that there is no need to worry about this problem. The white magic glow emanating from the prey is a perfect signpost in the dark night, and there is no need to worry about losing your target. And the pursuers could see the two figures getting closer and closer.
"Fuck, boss, what are you going to do to get that kid to save that bitch?" Hilton asked behind the man. Before he knew it, he seemed to have identified the man's status. For people, the hardest-hearted, most ruthless, and most vicious fists are naturally the boss. Everything the man showed had already convinced Hilton. But he felt that it was really unimaginable how this newly recognized land boss could let that little hairy man save people.
"Hmph, I was careless and fell for that kid's white magic. It was impossible to make out the expression on the man's face during the fast running, but the anger in his tone could be felt. "I caught this kid, I definitely can't spare him. ”
"Rest assured, there's the Piton River ahead. They can't run. Hilton spat hard. "Fuck, I see that this kid looks like a human, and I have a little affection for him, but I don't know that he is actually an undercover church agent. Exercise. Hey, Anderson, you're going to get rid of this undercover agent of the church, he's your mortal enemy. ”
The werewolf druid did not speak. There was no expression on his face, and he didn't know if he didn't want to speak or if he had become a werewolf who couldn't speak, so he just ran silently behind the man.
'Click' and 'Touch', just by listening to the sound, you can know that the Helith Pupil behind you has broken two trees and followed behind.
"You...... Or put the armor ...... Throw it away. Rushing to the ground, Yabin finally finished speaking, and the pain in his chest and abdomen began to throb from breathing. My feet are starting to get sore. It was a struggle to escape with a female knight in armor.
"No way. The Radiant Warframe is a treasure bestowed by Celeste, and it must not be discarded. The female knight's voice was not panting, but still firm.
"It's not that ...... No...... If you have the opportunity in the future...... You can grab it back. A small twig slashed Abin's forehead, and blood poured out.
"No, I can't. The Radiant Warframe is not just valuable to the armor itself. It was granted and blessed by His Holiness the Pope...... It is all the honor and faith of every Templar. Even though...... It's only temporary...... Neither can it be abandoned. The female knight finally began to catch her breath.
The voice of the pursuer in the back was getting closer and closer, and even the man's cursing could be heard.
"Don't throw it away...... We're dead. Yabin said fiercely in one breath.
The female knight gritted her teeth and said, "Even if you die, you cannot give up honor and faith in the Lord." ”
"You ......" Abin tripped over a raised root under his feet as he ran, stumbling a few times and almost falling, but finally stood still. Even in this moonlight, you can see that his face is already red, I don't know if it is because of fatigue or because he has not breathed a breath.
"Fuck, you two bastards can't get away. Stand still, uncle will give you a good ......" Hilton's voice sounded in the back, more old-fashioned than the sentences in those old knights, more nonsense than nonsense.
The female knight gave chase and broke away from Abbin's hand and stood still. Yabin also stopped, looking back at her in amazement.
"I'll stop them here, you can go by yourself. I am glad that you were able to save me, and the Lord of Heaven will surely know your goodness and bravery. The female knight turned her head to face the pursuers, the clear lines of her face outlining the fortitude of a true man, and her voice was full of calm firmness: "I cannot abandon my glory and faith, I believe in my choice, and I have to face the hardships and hardships that God has given me." ”
Jessica, who was closest to them, stopped and waited for a few people behind her. The pursuers who had caught up and gathered together couldn't help but slow down and stopped at a distance of several tens of meters in front of them. They knew very well that these two people could no longer escape. I want to see what other tricks these two people have.
"You're crazy. Run. Abin leaned over and took the hand of the female knight. He could already see the light in the man's eyes, which could not be described simply as useless or cold, and perhaps only he could understand the meaning of those eyes.
'G' Hillica kicked down a tree, and his massive, muscular body came into view. The brighter than animal light in his eyes could be understood by anyone. Or it doesn't have to be a human, as long as it's an animal, you can sense the murderous aura of the eruption that is about to explode all over his body.
"Go on your own. The knightess pushed Yabin's hand away. "I said, you're going to stay here. I'll help you with my honor......"
'Smack', and Yabin slapped the female knight in the face with great resound. This slap was not only very loud, but also very powerful, and it knocked the female knight to the point that her body was crooked, and her face immediately swollen.
Although everyone was stunned for a moment, it was the female knight who was the most stunned. His face was burning with pain, and his head was dizzy, and he didn't know if he was beaten or because he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Others slowed down. But Helika didn't stop, and he strode towards them like a bear. He had no curiosity and a refined interest in playing with cats and rats. And even if there were, it was a pastime after grabbing the prey, tearing off the hands and feet, hearing wails and begs for mercy, looking at the blood and the bones protruding from the body.
Yabin ignored the female knight. Nor did they run away alone, as the female knight said, but faced these pursuers near and far. He suddenly raised his hands and chanted the incantation aloud: "Lord of Heaven, please grant me the radiance of exorcism." ”
All of them. Including Cilika, they all took a defensive posture at the first time. But as if nothing had happened, nothing came out of the emptiness between Abin's outstretched hands.
". What the hell is going on, come and surrender obediently. Hilton also walked towards the two of them with his fist and sword. Of course, it was Hilica who was at the forefront, because this opponent's trickery made the fierce light in his eyes at least double.
Like a grand but silent lightning, it is also like a sun that suddenly emerges from the darkness and immediately shines in the sky. It was only at this time that an incomparably dazzling light suddenly appeared from between his hands. This was the magic of the spell chanted, and he deliberately delayed it for a moment.
No one was immune, and all of them were defenseless by the flickering spell, and the strongest part of the white light was into their eyes. Exclamations and screams came out of their mouths as they bent over and covered their eyes, and the woman's voice Jessica was especially poignant, as if she had been gouged out with a knife instead of being caught by the light
'Choke'. Despite the screams one after another, the four of them also heard the sound of drawing their swords from the position of Yabin just now, and all of them retreated sharply towards their hands, and the well-protected heat in their hands was prepared to guard against a sneak attack while they were blind.
Two whirring, followed by the sound of trees falling and branches colliding and breaking. Several people, including Cilika, did not dare to move, and they were all on guard against a blow that could befall them at any time.
But there were no such attacks. It wasn't until more than ten seconds that their eyes gradually recovered, and everyone realized that they could no longer see the two white figures. The two trees where the two of them were standing just now were cut off at the waist, and the sound of the two running away completely was completely muffled when they fell.
". It's so cunning. Fuck it. "Hilton was furious because he was teased twice in a row.
"It's this trick again, this bastard. "Even more furious seems to be the man
Hilton lay on the ground, paused carefully for a moment, and then pointed in one direction and said, "It's this way." Rest assured, I hear the sound of the river. They can't run. “
The female knight's head was still blank, and the effect of the slap continued, and she could only run mechanically by the good hand, feeling the scenery on both sides of her fly. She woke up only when she saw a river in front of her. The wide river gracefully turned in front of them, enveloping them, and the hand that had held her finally let go of Abbin and stopped, bending down on the beach and gasping for breath, his strength exhausted to the limit.
The few people who were chasing after them finally caught up, and when they saw that the two people had entered the dead end of the prey, they lined up and surrounded them.
The female knight was gloomy, she knew that even if she escaped from the water, the armor on her body would be a fatal burden, and at this moment, the young man who had been resting for a while suddenly hugged her and shouted: "Don't move, hold me tight." Then he strode towards the river.
Everyone, including the female knight, was stunned. But leaving them behind, Yabin's feet actually stepped on the sparkling river as if they were stepping on the ground, and each step made a circular ripple, and he ran quickly towards the cloud bank.
"It's a water crossing? This kid has a scroll like this. Hilton exclaimed. He was sure that this was definitely the effect of the magic scroll, otherwise a young man with such martial arts skills would be able to use such high-level water magic at the same time, then it would be him who would chase after him.
In just a few breaths, Abin had already rushed to the opposite bank, and as soon as he left the female knight, he immediately fell to the ground.
The female knight stood up and looked around, unable to believe that she had really escaped like this. When she came to her senses, she quickly squatted down to inspect the young man who had single-handedly rescued her, but fortunately he was only overworked and fainted. The female knight will be fine with a recovery spell for him.
", no, I really let these two escape. Hilton jumped in a hurry. The river was nearly 100 meters wide, and although people here could swim through, it was enough for the female knight to carry Abin on her back and escape without a trace. He quickly turned to ask the druid. "You can turn into a fish, no, something like a turtle and carry us there?"
The werewolf gave him a roar of rage.
Helika's throat sounded like that of a werewolf, and he looked at the two unreachable figures on the other side, his muscles trembling.
"The man on the other side with that evil weapon listens, in the name of the Lord, do you dare to tell me your name?" the voice of the female knight came from across the river from the other side. "I swear in the honor of a knight and in the name of God that I will wash away my shame with your blood. ”
The bitch on the other side listened. I swear in my name that the next time we meet, I'll rape and kill you, and then give your body to that old bastard Magnus as a gift. The man's roar echoed in return. "Go back and tell the bastards of Celeste, my name is Sandru. ”
Far away, an old man sleeping soundly was awakened by two loud sneezes.
