Chapter 8: The Witch's Escape Route

As night falls, the city is particularly cold today, there is not even a lost wild cat on the empty streets, and the old wooden signs of the corner inn are ping-pong by the howling wind, adding to the desolation that no one cares about.

Squeak –

With the sound of heavy footsteps, the door of the inn opened, and in was Gail, a knight of the Church in black armor.

The faint smell of the air made Gail frown, and the armor on his body seemed to be coated with a film of water, causing an eerie ripple in the flickering candlelight.

The waiter who couldn't be found left and right, and a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the table at the front desk, Gale didn't hesitate and pulled out the sword at his waist.

In an instant, several circular magic arrays around the hall suddenly lit up, and colorful magic bullets shot at the knights from all directions.

Gail plunged his sword into the ground with his backhand, and the spherical shield spread out, blocking all attacks for him, wave by wave, wave, wave, and wave, and when all the magic arrays had stopped attacking, the shield was still not broken.

Gail drew his sword again, tracing the traces of magic all the way to the innermost room on the second floor, and after splitting the wooden door along with the magic circle above, he saw only the empty room and the open window.

"Chase."

At the sound of the order, the streets of the night seemed to come to life, and countless knights in black armor began to search the outside of the inn like a tide.

Soon, someone found the witch's traces.

"Here!"

The two knights spotted the cloak fleeing in the night, and without saying a word, rode after her.

The unlucky witch was forced out of the alley into a wide street, unable to outrun four legs on two feet in terms of mobility, and was soon overtaken by two knights.

Instead of using it to slash, the knights who drew their swords held their hands together and began to chant.

A little surprise flashed in the witch's eyes under the witch's cloak, for she saw a half-empty golden cross on the knight's sword.

"People from the church?"

She had never imagined that it would be a knight from the Church, and she had thought it was a robber like a bounty hunter until now.

It is common for people to be hated or hated as witches, and the fight between each other is not as desperate as you are alive and dead, but more about the exchange of interests.

But if they were involved in the church, it would be different, this was the public enemy of all of them, and there was absolutely no room for bargaining.

Bite.

The crisp sound of the crash still clearly reached the ears of the two knights in the chaotic pursuit, and the gems that fell to the ground reflected the light of the moon, and the instantaneous burst of power overturned them in a single moment.

However, the witch who repelled the two knights did not reverse the form, but fell into a worse situation.

Her magic was like a lamp that beckoned moths, and the knights were attracted by the light, and the sound of the hooves of the horses rumbled in their ears like thunder.

A moth to the fire was killing itself, but when the knights attacked, the witch thought that her flames were not strong enough to burn them together.

She threw out the cloth bag around her waist, and there were gems of various colors scattered out of it, and for a moment the waves of magic rolled up the knights of the church on their backs, until the earth-shattering sword fell.

Gale held the sword in his hand, and the jerky and obscure characters that emanated from his mouth turned into tangible fragments, condensing in the air into the shape of a cross.

Not only Gael, but more knights joined the chanting procession, and the golden cross turned into a huge execution tool in the air, crushing the witch's attack with overwhelming force.

The crucifixion that crashed to the ground dyed the night sky with sacred gold.

Gail rushed into the billowing smoke with his sword, but he didn't see the witch, only a lone pool of blood left on the ground.

Gail crouched down and looked around the bloodstain, confirming that there was no sign of movement.

"Transfer magic."

The bloodstains left behind prove that their attacks did not miss, so only magic such as teleportation can explain why there are no other bloodstains that can be used as a guide.

After understanding the methods used by the other party, Gail immediately collected the blood on the ground, and then called his companions who had practiced divination, and immediately tracked the opponent's movements, and at the same time, he also gave new instructions to the other knights:

"The other party shouldn't have left too far, immediately block the city and search the surroundings!"

"Yes!"

Gael's idea is not wrong, the teleportation magic of this era is not perfect, it takes a long time to calculate and is very wasteful of mana, it is completely a chicken existence in battle, and there is a distance limit for temporary teleportation.

In fact, Gail's guess was half correct, and the witch who used the teleportation did indeed just escape to the outer side of town.

However, what Gail didn't guess was that the witch's magical power was so great that she still had the strength to use a teleportation spell after the battle.

"Ahem, ahem!"

The witch covered her mouth and made a painful sound, her black robe had been burned by the holy light of the cross, her long purple hair was blown by the wind, and her body was stained with many golden spots, which were the marks of being burned by the holy light.

In exchange for the weakness of her body, the witch gained almost twice or more magical power than the others, which was her greatest reliance.

Feeling the remaining magic power in her body, the witch showed a resolute expression, and the magic array under her feet lit up again, and after almost emptying out all the magic power, a burst of light flashed, and the witch's figure disappeared without a trace in the moonlight.

......

......

On the other side, Scarlet's group, who had already packed their bags, was about to leave the castle.

The boy checked the luggage he had brought with him, it was something left behind by the Templars, it was much more practical than it looked, and it was surprising that the carriage, which at first glance was not large, could carry so much luggage after using all the space.

According to the pre-arrangement, the two sisters Remilia, Flandrelou and Gloria, as well as Gloria, stayed in the carriage, and the boy was in charge of driving, and if something other happened, the maid could make another cameo appearance as the eldest lady.

Only in this quiet night can Remilia appear in this world in the brightest and brightest, she reached out into the moonlight, and her immature palms slowly opened, as if she could feel a different kind of tenderness from the cold.

To be allowed to exist is the greatest gentleness.

"It's time for us to go, Remilia." The boy said behind her.

"Hmm." Nodding slightly, Remilia stopped cherishing the moonlight and turned to board the carriage under Gloria's service.

One last glance back at Scarlet's castle, the young man's whip was about to fall, when suddenly a flash of light flickered, and the six-pointed star magic array imprisoned by the ring suddenly appeared in front of the carriage.
