Chapter 94: The Chase
Looking at the crowded neighborhoods, as well as the gentlemen in close-fitting three-piece suits and ladies in dresses, Al suddenly had a sense of coming to his own world.
Shaking his head, dispelling the unrealistic thoughts and memories in his mind, Al looked at a small leisure plaza next to him and went with William to watch the jugglers perform.
Looking at the clown who was doing magic, Al suddenly thought of the first official wizard clown Aesel he had ever met.
I have to say that the clown Esso really made Al feel a little memorable, not only because Elsel was the first official wizard El had ever met, but also because of the dangerous aura emanating from his body, as well as Esso's murderous and erratic personality.
Thinking of this, Al smiled and shook his head slightly, and prepared to change places with William.
But at this moment, Al suddenly felt a feeling of peeping, pretending to look around casually, and Al's gaze swept towards the source of the peeping feeling.
I saw a man in a black leather coat and a black hood standing in the crowd looking at Al, and when Al's gaze was opposite him, the other party immediately lowered the brim of his hat, turned around and left the crowd, walking towards an alley behind.
Seeing the other party's movements, Al immediately realized that the other party was really watching him.
His body shook slightly, and Al's first thought was to catch up and find out why the other party was peeking at him.
But as soon as he took a step, Al retreated, if it was just him, he would have caught up just now, but Al still had William by his side at this time, and Al didn't want to pull William, the heir to the duke with a good personality, into a dangerous situation, whether it was in terms of interests or personal feelings, Al was unwilling to do so.
Retracting his step, Al looked at William, who was intently watching the clown trick, and said directly: "William, I'm a little tired, how about we find a place to drink?"
Hearing Al's words, William nodded and said, "It's time for afternoon tea, let's go for afternoon tea, there is a cake shop in London City that is very good, although the store is very small and a little remote, but the things are clean and the tea is delicious, let's go there." ”
Nodding, Al followed William towards a plebeian in the city of London.
The small cake shop was in the ghetto, and it was a very nice store that William had found by chance, and only friends who William thought were good would bring it here.
Neither Al nor William were in the car, so the two of them walked for nearly an hour to get to the little shop.
However, Al Nai is a blood knight, and William is also a high-ranking knight, and the physical fitness of both of them is far beyond ordinary people, so when the two of them walked into the cake shop, their faces were not red or panting, and they did not look half tired.
Two simple cream cakes, two cups of black tea in ordinary glasses, everything looks simple, but the taste makes Al breathtaking.
Al has always been grateful for the black tea in this world, but the black tea in this shop is quite in line with Al's appetite, which makes Al like black tea for the first time in a long time.
Eating cake and drinking tea, Al and William kept talking about Solange's joya.
However, at this moment, Al suddenly sensed something, and the feeling of being watched before rose again.
This time, Al didn't pretend to be careless to check on the peeper, but immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the peeper.
I saw that the man in black and hood that Al had seen earlier was standing in front of the alley across the road from this shop.
When he saw Al find himself, he didn't react superfluously, but turned around and walked directly into the alley, and the other party's behavior made Al smell something unusual.
Frowning slightly, Al felt that he could no longer hang out with William, this strange situation Al was not sure that he would be able to protect William's safety.
For this friend who has only known each other for a short time, but has similar interests, Al doesn't want him to have an accident.
Putting down the fork in his hand, Al looked at William and whispered, "William, you go back first, there are some things I need to see, and you may be in some danger here." ”
Hearing Al's words, William's face changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Something's wrong, is it serious?"
Nodding slightly, Al continued to speak: "I don't know if it's serious, I saw someone following me, from the square at the beginning to just now, I found the person who was peeking at me. ”
William's face changed again, he looked at Al and continued to speak: " Al, although London City is the center of the Holy Sword Empire, it is actually also known as the City of Darkness, because there are many dark creatures and people wandering in the gray area at night in London City, it is very dangerous to wander in the city, so you must be careful, although those guys are afraid that the official of the Holy Sword Empire will not shoot at civilians, but they will not be soft on professionals, I know that my strength is not able to help you, so you take this thing first, and I think I can help you. ”
With that, William took off the 'Hurricane Ring' from his right index finger and placed it on Al's hand.
Seeing this, Al was about to refuse immediately, but before Al could speak, William spoke again: "Al, although the two of us haven't known each other for a long time, we really regard you and I as friends, so for your safety, and in order not to let me lose a friend, I hope you can accept this 'Hurricane Ring' as if I borrowed you, how about it?"
At this point in William's words, Al stopped refusing, otherwise it would be too hypocritical.
Nodding slightly, Al directly put the 'Hurricane Ring' on his right index finger, then he looked at William, nodded and said, "William, now you go back, and I will go and investigate the person who peeped at me myself." ”
As soon as the words fell, Al rose from his seat and rushed straight into the alley where the man in black and hood had entered.
After Al left, William paid and walked out of the cake shop, walking alone in the direction he had come.
However, at this moment, a man dressed as an ordinary worker came from the front, and when he passed by William, the man suddenly turned around and grabbed William directly with both hands.
However, before the man's hands could touch William, a cold snort rang in the man's ears.
Immediately after, a layer of fine sand scattered on the ground turned into a tough rope that directly controlled the man in place.
At the same time, a breeze blew and whistled through the dust, but the dust quickly gathered and turned into an old man in a rich robe with meticulously combed hair standing beside William.
Seeing the old man appear, William smiled slightly and said to the old man: "Grandpa Siegel, what is the identity of this guy who sneaked up on me, is it sent by my few unsuccessful younger brothers, or some people who don't have long eyes?"
Listening to William's words, Siegel immediately replied, "Young Master, this guy is a werewolf, I don't think it should have been sent by other young masters. ”
In the blink of an eye, William looked at the man who was already looking like an ordinary worker with a frightened face, and said with a smile: "Since he is a dark creature, then as a believer in the Lord of Billions of Radiance, I should naturally hand him over to the church." ”
"Young Master, I think it's better not to hand him over to the church, after all, things are a bit too coincidental, the young master's friend Al has just left, and a werewolf has come to arrest the young master, so I think it's better to let him disappear directly, otherwise once El has any connection with the dark creature, it won't be good to be entangled by the church." ”
Nodding, William said approvingly: "It's also the same reason, since I am optimistic about Al, and I also paid a witch-like tool as a bargaining chip on Al, then these things that can help Al solve it with a raise of hands should be solved easily." ”
With that, William turned his head and continued walking in the direction he had come.
Siegel, on the other hand, glanced at the werewolf who was about to transform with a cold face, and raised his hand slightly, and the nail of Siegel's right index finger suddenly turned dark green.
With a slight tap on the werewolf's chest, Siegel turned into dust and disappeared in the wind.
As for the werewolf, his eyes had turned completely green, and he had not made the slightest sound, and slowly fell to the ground and could not die again.
By the time William and Siegel dealt with the werewolf, Al had already reached the depths of the alley.
At this time, Al's pale blue aura appeared and disappeared from time to time in his eyes, and he was extremely vigilant to investigate all the movements around him.
At that moment, the hooded man in a black leather coat emerged from the shadow of the wall behind Al.
He looked at Al, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and silently reached out and grabbed the back of Al's head, seeing that the hooded man's hand was about to touch the back of Al's head, but suddenly two crossed rings of thorns appeared around Al's body, blocking the hooded man's hand.
"[Thorn Armor] can withstand attacks that are hostile to me, and you can't break them without effort. ”
Hearing Al's words, the hooded man quickly retreated, looking at Al vigilantly, and at the same time, his voice roared hoarsely: "Hand over the page of the 'Demon Book' of the Blood Grand Duke, otherwise the master will not let you go!"
Al killed Mudder and Gold, but he knew very well that as long as he had the 'devil's book' left by the Blood Grand Duke, Mudder and the man behind Gold would not give up the pursuit of him.
It's just that Al didn't expect to meet again so soon, and it was in London, the capital of the Holy Sword Empire!
