Chapter 53: Midnight Hurricane
,
Three quarters of an hour earlier, the priest who had met Leo and Vera at the festival hurried down the road to the bishop's bed. The sound of his shoes on the marble paved road of the corridor made an ominous sound that made him feel a chill. But he still walked in.
He came to the door of the bishop's bedroom, saw the candlelight still lit inside, hurried in, then got down on one knee, and said, "My lord, I am guilty. ”
The bishop put down the text in his hand, looked at his favorite subordinate, and said with a smile: "Child, who among us is innocent in the presence of the gods?
The pastor was relieved. He picked up the bishop's robe, kissed it respectfully, and then said slowly: "I didn't say the details of the characteristics of those people in order to steal the credit. ”
The bishop was stunned.
The priest did not notice the change in the bishop and continued: "I have just heard that the Lord of the City Warden has left the city. That man...... That person is likely to have been mixed in and mixed out. ”
The bishop was furious, raised his leg and kicked him to the ground, then picked up his cane and beat him severely. The priest screamed in pain, but there was a light in his eyes, he had made the right bet, and his life had been saved.
After a long time, the bishop stopped and shouted: "Go and inform the deputy commander of the Templars, Nord, and let him lead the team out to chase~!"
A man outside the door said yes, and then ran away as fast as he could.
A moment later, the fire outside the window lit up as if it were day, and there was the sound of people neighing. Immediately, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder. The rolling thunder shattered the sleep of the city, and then faded away and disappeared.

The people of Lorraine rode their horses and galloped wildly for a while, and then stopped at a fork in the road.
Lakar jumped off his horse, pointed to the sign at the junction, and said, "From this road all the way east, two hundred miles later, there is the territory of the province of Balindo." Governor Charlins is a close confidant of the Grand Duke, and I need not say more. As long as you can get there, I think he'll send heavy troops to escort you all the way until you get to the academy. ”
After saying that, he threw the reins of the horse in his hand and sat down on the side of the road.
When the young woman saw this, she realized that something was wrong with the situation, and hurried to his side.
Catherine parted the crowd and walked over, then bowed apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, my lord." In desperation, we have to make this decision, and I ask for your forgiveness. Julio's family has clear grievances. As long as I am here, we will not forget the help of Your Excellency. ”
Lakal was stunned at first when he saw the middle-aged man's dress. Later, I heard her crisp voice, and then I understood. He waved his hand and said dishearteningly, "Miss Catherine, don't say that. I didn't do you any favors, but I was forced to do it myself. Don't thank me. ”
When Lorraine saw this, she couldn't bear it. Although this fat city guard is a little mediocre, he just let everyone go. His position is unkept. Thinking of this, he raised his leg and kicked Leo.
The chubby little boy was so happy at this time that he didn't need to confess, and walked over as soon as he urged the war horse.
He untied a short sword from his waist, threw it over, and said, "Lord Lakal, we owe you a favor anyway. In the future, if this child grows up and wants to find a job, you will let him come to us with this short sword. ”
Lakal was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and saw a serious look on the other party's chubby little face. Immediately overjoyed, stood up, bowed to him deeply, and said, "Thank you, little grandfather." ”
Catherine didn't care at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she was immediately moved. His hands are much more beautiful than his own.
With his words, the future of the illegitimate child is guaranteed. It was appreciated by the little grandfather. Who would dare to take this child seriously. Even if the tigress in Lakar's house wants to raid the house and beat people, she has to think about it. If the mother and son are forced to be in a hurry. In the future, when the child grows up, he will have Archduke Julian as a backer, will he take revenge for this.
She looked at her brother in surprise, as if she didn't know him anymore. Could it be that his character is also a small universe outbreak? In a blink of an eye, he saw that the child was looking at Lorraine inquiringly, and he immediately understood.
It was the first time Leo had said something so formal. I was a little flustered. Seeing Lorraine reply with a positive look, he made up his mind.
Lakar picked up the dagger and carefully put it away.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Be careful, everyone. The Prime Minister is now in a hurry, and he has already set up a reward in the dark. As long as the young lady is caught, the bounty is 3,000 coins. Catching a guard also has five hundred gold coins. ”
Everyone looked at each other and grinned nonchalantly.
Leo was stunned for a moment, and found that there was one person missing, so he asked unwillingly, "So, what about me? What about me? What is my reward?"
Lakar smiled bitterly and said, "I heard that the reward of the little grandfather seems to be a hundred gold coins. ”
Leo suddenly snorted coldly, and scolded unhappily: "What~! A blind dead bald head." I'm at least worth 5,000 gold coins. I'll settle accounts with him when I go back. ”
Hearing his broken thoughts, everyone sweated profusely. This young master was serious for a while, and immediately returned to his original form.
Catherine kicked him, then nodded to Lakal and said, "Thank you, sir." And so, we took our leave. ”
Then he shook the reins of the horse and said, "Let's go~!"
Then they galloped away.
Lorraine glanced back at the swarthy city of Trier, and saw a faint flicker of torches in the distance. Obviously, someone has already noticed that something is wrong and chased after them. Don't dare to slack off at the moment, and go away.
Because some people were chasing, everyone did not dare to stop and rest, and ran all the way through the village and town, towards Balindo.
The more Lorraine ran, the more frightened she became. Although his men were already galloping as fast as they could, the pursuers behind him were also running out of strength, and they were getting fewer and fewer. But the remaining dozens of people are also one in a hundred elites.
They chased closer and closer.
Carter glanced back, spat viciously, and scolded, "These ghostly guys. They must be the Templars of the Holy See, and they are the only ones who have such superb skills. ”
At this time, several guards glanced at each other, and their faces showed a determined look. Then he saluted Catherine and said, "Let's resist for Miss for a while and buy time." ”
Then, circle the war horse, draw the long sword, and go back around.
Carthus turned back, looked at their resolute faces, thumped his right hand heavily on his chest, and said, "Take care, brothers." ”
In his voice, he was a little choked. Because he knew very well that if they went, they probably wouldn't be able to come back.
Seeing this, Lorraine raised his hand and whipped it,
He looked at Carthus angrily and scolded loudly: "Do you people have all the fodder in your heads? You only know how to fight hard and have the courage to fight hard~! Don't you know how to hide in the dark and pull a rope, make them a stumbling rope or something, and hinder them? I don't believe it, they dare to chase after them three or five times. No wonder it will be played by a bunch of dead bald heads, a bunch of rice buckets~!"
Hearing his scolding, everyone suddenly woke up like a dream.
The guards grinned and said in unison, "Thank you, Lord for reminding me." We're going to kill them. ”
Lorraine glanced at them and said, "Be careful, everybody. If it is discovered. If you can't fight and escape, surrender. Nothing is more important than life.
There is no deep hatred between everyone, and I believe they will be merciful. In the future, we will definitely find a way to get you out. ”
After speaking, he raised the horsewhip in front of his forehead and touched it, and gave a military salute.
The guards were stunned for a moment.
Catherine also smiled, followed Lorraine's example, gave a military salute, and said, "Take care, everyone, just delay for a while, don't be too reluctant." We'll see you later. ”
They looked at each other, then bowed their heads deeply and said, "Yes, my lord." We'll do our best. ”
At the same time, I made up my mind in my heart, even if I fought for my life, I must stop those enemies for Miss.
After saying that, he took the war horse with him, then turned around and ran back.
The crowd rode their horses and ran for a while, and then they saw the torches of the pursuers coming to a halt one after another. After a few more moments, several familiar figures appeared in their sight, riding their horses.
When they saw this, they all cheered.
Although the pursuers stopped, they did not stay for fear of long nights and dreams. rode the horse all the way until dawn, and the people were sleepy and could no longer run, so they stopped.
They found a leeward col and stopped their horses.
Carthus cooks while lighting a fire. On the one hand, he cautiously commanded a few people to keep sentry. Scouts were also sent to the front and rear.
Just as the meal was about to be ready, he saw that the sentry who had been exploring the way had already galloped back, and shouted, "Quick, go quickly." There were three hundred enemies in front of them, and they were already rushing here. ”
Everyone was shocked.
