Janet thought it would be the executioner who opened the door, or the priest of the Temple of Dawn who had come to torment her, or this was Siegel, but never thought it would be Evan. As the younger brother of His Royal Highness the Prince, Janet never saw him as a potential person to turn to. Is this a ruse?, Janet couldn't help but wonder, but Evan didn't seem to do any good in doing so. "Why did you save me?"

"Don't be so verbose, I finally found a chance to slip out. Evan said, "I don't want to wait for Siegel to come and ask me, 'Did you help Janet before she died?'" In addition, I don't like Cooper in the Temple of Dawn. By the way, do you want to run away?"

Janet held out her hand, and Evan slashed with a swing of his sword. The platinum chains were neatly cut in two like soft bread, without a sound. The bastard's swordsmanship is already very superb, and it can be seen in this matter.

"I'm in front, and if there's a guard, I'll distract them. Evan took off his turban and rubbed his hair, becoming like weed. He also took out a leather bag of wine from his back, as if he was trying to pretend to be drunk. Jenny nodded, her escape planned in her head. Leaving the castle too far is also looking for death, after all, the war is not over. What can be done now is either to transform into a half-orc and hide in the mountains, or simply blend in with the orcs and flee north. Wait until everything calms down before you come back?

The stakes are still high, but it's the way to go in desperation.

Evan stumbled as if he was drunk, especially when he crashed into the arms of the wall guards, and the smell of alcohol from his body was strong and smelly. Janet made her way through the shadows, careful to avoid places illuminated by the moonlight. The corners of the castle and the shadows of the colonnades are her helpers. And the long-term training allows her to walk on the snow without leaving footprints. Remember that there was a slope to the southwest of the Black Blood Castle. Always covered with snow. And the slope is relatively gentle. It would be wishful thinking to climb the walls from there, but it wasn't too hard to slide down.

The escape plan was terminated at a distance of ten meters from the slope. A bright light shone on her, and two priests surrounded her from the side. Janet raised her hand and obediently surrendered. If you continue to flee now, you will be burned to ashes by a pillar of fire that falls from the sky - but at least it is more painful than being burned at the stake.

"Don't try to run away, devil. The young priest said, "You can't escape our tracking." ”

Janet rolled her eyes, mocking the intellect of the priest in her heart. If she really was the devil, she would have left the castle long ago. If she was really the devil, how could she be caught with her hands tied, couldn't she kill the two of them? If she was really the devil, how could she not know that the platinum chain on her wrist was just a spell to disguise the positioning?

She was put in a cell again, but this time with an extra paladin and a priest standing outside the door. Of course, the serious knights also act as jailers outside the door, they are the real guards, and the people of the Temple of Dawn are only helping. Janet has seen too many such tricks, and there is nothing new in them.

The Count arrived before dawn, and his servant did not dare to tell him of the escape before he awoke. The Count was furious about this. The old man was only concerned about one question: "Who helped you escape, is there still your devil accomplice here?"

"Even in the school city, I can come and go. What's so difficult about a mere castle of black blood?" said to Janet with a smile, "I have so many accomplices, especially a pair of brothers named Stupid and Careless. ”

"Hmph, don't think it's so simple to fool around. The torture will continue tomorrow, and this time there will be no one else to intercede for you. The Count said, "The priests of the God of Dawn are very kind, but they have no mercy on evil. Especially the devil who premeditated the plan. Although I will be saddened to see you wailing under the spell, I will never sympathize with you, nor will I stop it. ”

"Then you don't know why I'm with Master Riel. ”

The name of Master Liel made the Count's heart tighten, but he left the cell quietly. That's all Janet can do, that's all she can say. All she had to do was pray that Siegel would be safe and that she would be rescued.

When she was brought to the trial hall the next day, there was no spectator. The empty room was filled with only Count Todd, Bishop Cooper, and another priest. Under the pressure of divine magic, she told the truth over and over again that she was not the devil, and that she had nothing to do with the prince's weak illness, but this could only be exchanged for a more powerful spell. At the same time, she had to find a way to delay, and she must not tell the story of her stealing information from Master Liel, otherwise she would likely incur an instant death. She tried to persevere, relying on a luxury in her heart.

"You don't want this ......"

The sentence was obviously not finished, but it had already caused several people in the courtroom to raise their heads and look towards the door. I saw a violent flash of light explode from the door, and the wood fragments turned into dust in the process of flying, and only then did the loud noise be transmitted. The entire hall crumbled in the explosion, and the Black Blood Castle shook, and the whole reverberated with a boom.

Siegel stood in a rage at the gate, his wand still glowing with lightning. The surging magical energy spread in all directions around him, driving his cloak to protect against the cold, and fluttering like a flag behind him.

"Janet, I'm coming. Siegel's voice was not loud, but with the help of a spell, it reached the kitten's ears accurately. She shook and turned sharply. When she saw what was happening at the door, tears clouded her eyes. She tried to stand up, but her whole body was limp, and her head was dizzy. As soon as Janet relaxed, she collapsed to the ground and fainted.

Siegel stepped forward and half-bowed mockingly, "Your Excellency is well. ”

"A mage?" said Pastor Cooper, "you are what they call Siegel." ”

The mage didn't pay attention to him immediately, but checked on Janet first. According to Siegel's shallow knowledge of the human body, Janet seems to have nothing wrong with her body, but she is mentally too tired and then too excited, resulting in a coma.

"It's ridiculous for you to do that. Earl Todd said, "Who gave you the right to break into the courtroom and interfere with the trial?"

"Myself. Siegel asked rhetorically, "This is the Inquisition?Who is the judge, who is Janet's defense?What is she charged with?How did I not know that the Temple of Dawn has re-established the Inquisition, is it that the King is dead, and His Royal Highness the Prince has succeeded to the throne and changed the law?"

"None of them. Earl Todd said, "Janet knows important information about the great prophet of the school. Baron Siegel, I hope you will cooperate with our work. ”

"What if I say no?" Siegel was still tough.

"Young Mr. Mage, Mr. Baron, your spells are powerful, but they are still vulnerable to the divine power of the Lord of Dawn. Pastor Cooper said, "Besides, you only have one, and we have dozens." Nothing good came of it. ”

"Yes, you're right. Siegel smiled and said, "Guess what a mage would do to this castle next to the orcs to dare to rush in alone?"

The Count gasped. They kept a low profile in the castle to avoid the orcs' attention. If Siegel, as a mage, uses magic to send a message to let the orcs know about the changes in the Black Blood Castle, then staying in the city will become trapped in the city, or even die in the city. As long as His Royal Highness the Prince remains here, the Earl will be a rat trap. This is especially true of the Temple of Dawn, the Mage Federation is in Waterdeep, and they are doing everything possible to weaken the influence of the Temple of Dawn, hoping that something will happen.

"Don't forget that you are a canonized royal baron!" said the Earl.

"Yes, you're right. I am a royal baron, and only Prince Aaron can command me in the entire castle. Siegel took off his cape, wrapped around Janet's skinny body, and held her in his arms. "I'm going to take her to rest, and if you dare to attack me from behind, you'd better be fierce and fast. ”

Count Todd clenched his fists, and several times his fingers tried to touch the hilt of the sword, but let go. Priest Cooper is also keeping an eye on the Count's actions, and if the Count gives the order, he will use spells to leave the two of them. Whether it is shocking, paralyzing, or paralyzing, the Lord of Dawn has bestowed a corresponding divine emblem that can defeat enemies without causing damage. These magic spells are not as powerful as a mage's elemental spells, but they are swift. Often when the fireball has not yet been released, the blow of divine power has already descended on the head.

But even so, he didn't dare to take the lead. The mage was too good at striking backwards, and he couldn't guess what Siegel's countermeasures were. Compared to a demon descendant - Pastor Cooper has confirmed that Janet's true blood is not a devil - the life of His Royal Highness is more important.

"Siegel, don't leave the Black Blood Castle, especially don't try to leave with Janet. Count Todd said, "I have a lot of things to ask her." ”

Siegel didn't say a word, his gaze fixed on Janet, who closed her eyes. At this moment, Evan, who heard a loud noise, rushed in and shouted happily when he saw Siegel. "I knew you kid wasn't dead!" Evan was excited, "Go to my room, it's still more spacious! And I've got some potions from Dr. Reese, maybe some of them can be used." ”

Siegel smiled and nodded, embraced Janet, and walked forward with Evan who was chattering. On the way, Sir Bill and Kerry joined them. They have settled the battle in the courtyard. Previously, the giants Kerry and Siegel used arachnism to climb upwards all the way, and missed the passage in front of the gate of the Black Blood Castle, so they simply climbed over the wall to enter. But their foothold is the camp of the mountain knights. Kerry fights with three soldiers on duty, and then fights a six-legged lizard, just in time for Sir Bill to see. Jazz prioritized until now was not the time to catch up, so he stayed behind to deal with the chaos in the courtyard and told Siegel to hurry to find Janet. (To be continued......)
