Chapter 294: Midsummer Night Carnival (3)
Under the tremendous oppressive force of Cross, Ellie gradually calmed down after the initial panic and returned to a cynical appearance. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It's just that, seeing the serious expression that flashed on his face, and the always sober look in his eyes, Donner could guess that he wasn't that simple, at least not an idiot.
He wasn't mistaken.
Seeing Kross's tight words, Ellie wondered: "Cross, you don't want to do anything to me, do you? Although I rarely come to St. Petersburg, I have heard that it is not possible to use force here, is it an exception today?"
As soon as his words fell, the momentum on Cross's body subsided, but his tone was still cold:
"If you're interested, we can take a trip outside the city. ”
"Interested?" Ellie smiled, "Of course I'm interested, but I'm not interested in you, but in this beautiful young lady......"
Cross frowned, and was about to speak, but Donner had already taken a step forward: "The young lady you said is my maid, since you miss her, then I will accompany you on a trip outside the city, how about it?"
Avery looked Donner up and down with a smile, "Just the two of us?"
"You can bring your friends with you too, I don't mind. Donner replied lightly.
"No, no, I mean, can you bring this young lady with you, lest I come back to her......" Eli said this, not forgetting to glance at Cross, as if to say that his purpose was indeed on Una.
"Yes," Downer nodded, "but I have one condition." ”
"What conditions?" asked Eli.
"You'll have to bring the Cormier family with you......" Donner pointed in the direction Cross had just pointed.
"I don't know them," Ellie shrugged, "but since you're asking for that, I can give it a try." ”
Then he shouted in the direction he came, "Hey, those ...... Are you from the Cormiers?"
Not far away, by a campfire, seven or eight Helians stood up one after another and walked over.
As they approached, Donner's eyes swept around, and he saw that not all of them were young men, but two of them looked to be about the same age as the old man who died at Donner's Manor.
The Midsummer Eve Carnival was attended by mostly young people, who had rushed to St. Petersburg from Santiago, apparently not for the revelry.
"This gentleman invited you to go out of the city, I wonder if you are interested?" asked Avery aloud.
The members of the Cormier family looked at the eldest of them.
The old man nodded slightly: "It's hard to be gracious." ”
At this time, Cross walked up behind Donner and reminded him softly, "Don't go, this man is their patriarch...... I'm no match for him either. ”
Donner turned his head and smiled slightly: "It's okay, just go for a walk, just make it clear." ”
Cross frowned, and looked at Donner suspiciously, in his impression, the other party was not such a reckless person.
"Alright, since everyone agrees, please......" Ellie pointed toward a stone bridge over the St. Francis River. After crossing that bridge, you can quickly reach the west gate of the holy city.
Donner smiled and glanced down at Wesley, who immediately stood up, and the moment their eyes met, they each nodded knowingly.
Then the group walked in the direction of the stone bridge, and Cross shook his head helplessly and followed.
Bran, Leona, and Zoe looked at each other a few times, and after hesitation, finally sat down in place.
At this time, almost everyone's attention on the river bank was on Donner and Avery and their party.
In the Holy City, for various reasons, it is not uncommon to go out of the city to compete or duel, but it is really rare to rush so many people at the same time on the night of the Midsummer Eve Carnival.
These people had more or less heard of the Brown family, but they didn't know Donner's origin and identity, and at this time, seeing that he was weak, they had already made up their minds.
Even Cross didn't understand Donner's move.
In fact, Donner didn't see him, but he had already seen Donner.
As early as half a year ago, he followed his division commander to the Holy Courtyard of Fire, and saw Donna reverse the situation in front of the Divine Son and the envoy of the Chega Mountain. It's just that no one thought that the Son of the Sun would turn around and get rid of this young man who played a key role.
On the way back to the Spring Sacred Academy, he had heard several division commanders analyze that this John Smith should be Constantine's illegitimate son, but Constantine had to fake the demon hunting assessment to get rid of him in order to prevent the contradictions within the family.
What happened afterwards was even more unexpected, this magical bastard actually miraculously survived the demon hunting assessment, and won the final victory by luck.
And that's not all, after Constantine's death, the Lega family purged the legendary mage of all blood, leaving only John Smith. According to Commander Cross, it should be because this young man knows how to advance and retreat, and he wants to get a chance of life by destroying his future and joining the Inspectorate Society.
Since then, Cross has been intrigued by his peers, who have saved the day several times. Of course, the other party's illegitimate child status is also an important reason for his favor.
After signing a marriage contract with Shaida half a month ago, he learned that John had been her lover, and he couldn't wait to rush to the Holy City to get to know this strange man.
However, he didn't expect that the day after they met, John would make such an irrational decision for the sake of a maid.
Could it be that after repeated setbacks, his mentality has become unbalanced?
Cross shook his head in frustration as he said to Ellie Brown: The Brown family has never produced a legendary mage. The original intention was to remind John that as a descendant of a legendary mage, it was not worth bothering with these juniors. Now it seems that this sentence probably inspired the resentment in John's heart.
Thinking of this, Cross stepped up his pace, past Wesley, and headed for Donner, wanting to remind him one last time.
At this moment, the unexpected happened.
Not far in front of him, a young man from the Cormier family, without warning, suddenly struck out, a wind blade whistling towards Donner's back.
The patriarch of the Cormier family, Márquez, saw this scene and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
However, Donner had already heard the wind, and saw him turn around and wave his hand to instantly send out a wind blade.
The two wind blades met a meter in front of Donner, making a loud sound of swords colliding, and then dissipated into a violent wind.
Seeing this, Ellie Brown shouted angrily at the young man of the Cormier family, "What are you going to do?"
