Chapter 45: Reunion
Empire of the Holy Spirit, Province of North Gus, above an abandoned church. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A middle-aged man with a solemn face and no smile rode a griffin with the head of an eagle and wings and a lion body and tail from the sky.
"Greetings to the Archbishop!"
Outside the abandoned church, Kane and another senior knight hurriedly led the followers behind him to kneel on one knee to perform the ritual, and shouted in unison at the middle-aged man.
The archbishop sat on the back of the griffin, condescendingly, looked around at everyone, and nodded slowly, "Get up." I'm here to interrogate the woman. Where is she? Take her out. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone not only did not get up, but lowered their heads one after another, like ostriches, with a look of shame on their faces.
The archbishop frowned. Noticing that the atmosphere was unusual, he looked directly at one of the heads of the abandoned church, a high-ranking knight of the Church of Light.
The man broke out in a cold sweat.
"What's going on? Don't you say yes? Then Kane, you say. The archbishop said lightly. Although his tone was soft, it was mixed with a hint of warm anger.
"All the prisoners in the dungeon, including the woman, were ... Taken!" Kane gritted his teeth and told him truthfully.
When the archbishop heard this, he was furious.
.........
North Gus Province, in the vast snow-capped mountains.
William walked through the snow.
Seemingly aimless, he wandered around, climbing one snow-capped mountain after another. However, when William dug through the snow at the top of the mountain, he always found a handful of silver coins.
These are all marks deliberately left by the eagle, and as long as you follow the guidance of these silver coins, you can find the place where everyone meets.
William had been walking in the snow for days. When he was hungry, he took out the wolf meat of the frost demon wolf from the ring of the dead and ate it, and drank the melted snow water when he was thirsty.
When you are sleepy and tired, you can find a snow-capped mountain at random, take the sky as the quilt and the earth as your bed, and fall asleep.
Along the way, it was quite embarrassing, but fortunately, there was a robe from the wolf king given by Karenna, which was quite cold and solved a lot of trouble for William.
After searching for several days, the emperor paid off, and William finally found everyone on a snowy mountain.
At first, when William climbed the snow-capped mountain, Jack, who was still on guard at the top of the mountain, discovered William.
Jack suddenly screamed, and rushed all the way down from the top of the mountain with surprise on his face, giving William a big bear hug.
William also had a smile on his face. He smiled and asked, "What was the result of the rescue plan?"
Jack excitedly said, "It worked! There were thirteen people in the dungeon, and we all rescued them, including my grandfather." Fortunately, we acted in a timely manner, and they have not been diverted, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
After a pause, Jack said, "In that battle, I assassinated two junior knights of the Church of Light! ”
"How the hell did you drag a high-ranking knight to go, and I guess I'll have to be killed in one face. ”
Jack said, he circled around William several times, but he didn't find any wounds, and he was even more shocked: "Brother William, you! You're not hurt? Oh my God, how is this possible?"
"Luck, it's all luck. William said modestly.
Jack burst out laughing.
While talking, the two walked up the snowy mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, there was a natural cave, and in the labyrinthine cave, William met Eagle, Karina, Sam and others.
After a moment of conversation, William glanced at the smiling eagle.
A flash of realization flashed in the eagle's eyes. He pointed to a hallway behind him and said, "They're all recuperating in there, let's go and have a look." There were a few people I didn't know, and they were very indifferent, and they didn't answer when we asked. ”
William nodded slowly.
He was about to leave, but suddenly Karina's voice sounded behind him: "Mr. William, wait!"
"What's the matter?" asked William looking back.
Karena was stunned. She glanced at William, gritted her teeth, lowered her head and said, "No... Nothing, good luck finding the person you're looking for. ”
"Thank you!"
William bowed his head in thanks.
He walked directly around the crowd and stepped out into the corridor.
On the left side of the corridor was a stone wall, and on the side of the corridor was a small room carved out by a person, and William walked to the door of the first room and stopped.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm the excitement in his heart, and took one step at a time, looking into the room!
I saw a thin old man with a broken nose and yellow teeth and a long hooked nose, sitting cross-legged on a clean stone bed, as if he was meditating to restore his magic.
"Hello. ”
The old man glanced at William coldly, and said extremely coldly. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if he was not speaking normally, but was squeezed out of his throat stiffly.
William nodded slowly, "Hello." ”
After greeting the old man, William did not hesitate and walked to the next room.
In the second room, there is a middle-aged couple. The couple were plainly dressed and much friendlier than the old man before them, and William would never have thought of them as a magician if it weren't for the two black wands on the stone bed.
Unfortunately, William still didn't find Sumera.
He searched room after room, but found nothing, and soon it was the last room's turn.
Outside the room, William stood for a long time, not taking the last step.
As much as he wished Sumera was in the room, reason told him that the odds were slim to none.
In the vast world, in the long sea of people, finding someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, it all depends on luck.
Will you be that lucky?
As it turned out, William was really lucky.
In the room, Sumela was sitting upright on a stone bed, her eyes closed, her face pale and dripping with sweat.
Her willow eyebrows were furrowed, she bit her lip, and a trace of blood flowed down the corners of her mouth, and her expression was extremely painful.
William slowly walked into Sumela, and he actually smelled a strange rich fragrance from Sumela's body.
"It's... The smell of forbidden potion?"
William muttered with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Forbidden magic liquid, one of the many alchemical potions, is extremely famous. Once any magician drinks this potion, the magic of the whole body will be completely imprisoned, and they will no longer be able to release any magic.
It can be said that the forbidden magic liquid is the nemesis of the magician, not to mention drinking it into the body, even if the fragrance emitted by the forbidden magic liquid smells for a long time, it will more or less have a slight impact.
William, for example, now.
He only felt uncomfortable all over his body, the magic in his body stopped working, and his whole body seemed to be drained of strength, extremely uncomfortable.
William did not dare to come any closer to Sumera.
He took a few steps back, and looked at Sumera silently ten paces away, unmoving.
Time passed little by little, and three minutes later, Sumera woke up slowly.
There was a hint of redness on her pale pretty face, and the first time she opened her eyes, she looked at William opposite.
Sumera was stunned for a moment, her expression became sluggish, and she couldn't react.
William couldn't help but feel amused: "What, I don't know your master anymore?"
"You... How did you... Will it be here?" asked Sumera with a blank expression.
"It's a long story. I'm worried about you, so, I'm here. ”
William sighed.
He walked in a few steps and narrowed the distance between the two sides, almost face to face, nose to nose.
The burning breath exhaled from William's nose could be felt by Sumela.
She blushed suddenly, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Check to see if you've been abused. ”
William looked directly at Sumera, gave a brief answer, and immediately examined her.
Look left, look right, smell there, smell here, Sumera's face turned red.
"Get out! I'm fine, I haven't been mistreated in any way, you hurry up and get rid of your bad intentions!" Sumera couldn't bear it anymore, and pushed William away, glaring at him.
William pretended not to see it, sat directly on the stone bed, and asked with a serious face, "I'm really just worried about you." Forget it, let's talk about it, where have you been for a whole year, and how did you get caught by the people of the Church of Light?"
"I'm just going for revenge, there's nothing to say. ”
Sumera sighed and suddenly asked, "There is more." You... Are you really worried about me?"
"Nonsense. I also fought a high-ranking knight to save you. Well... In fact, it's not a fight, it's just a run and a chase. ”
After a pause, William glanced at Sumela's strange gaze and declared, "Don't look at me like that." It was he who fled, and it was me who chased. He's no match for me at all. ”
"Also, a lot has happened in this time. ”
William recalled, a smile on his face, and said, "Let's just say that once, we met a group of frost wolves. I really felt the fear of dying and I remember it vividly. ”
After winning the battle on the border of the Empire, General Carlo, the current head of the Page family, spies on the beer business of the Lester family, and in order to inquire about Sumera, he comes to the underground black market of Abis City alone, and fights with Jack and Karenna, and the battle of the Frost Wolf......
William said lightly, telling everything that happened after Sumera left.
Sumera listened quietly, not saying a word.
After William finished speaking, he turned his head to look, only to see that Sumera had already cried tears at some point.
She threw herself into William's arms: "Thank you, thank you really! You are the first person to worry about me besides my parents." ”
William was stunned.
