Chapter 25: Escape and Reward

Approaching the frightened girl through dark vision, Angel bent down and gave her a hug, feeling the trembling body in her arms gradually calm down, before whispering:

"Don't be afraid, it's Dominic who has come to save you."

"Thank you, thank you......" The girl who was still strong enough to save herself just now spoke with a crying tone at this time, "I thought he was also arrested, I, I'm scared......"

Pulling out a dagger and cutting the ropes that bound Sonya's hands and feet, Angel helped the girl to her feet and walked from the dark room to the glimmering hallway.

Sonya, who had regained her vision, looked at the woman who had saved her with some curiosity, and couldn't help but ask:

"I don't think I've seen you before, did Dominic ask me to help? Where is he now? ”

Actually, I'm Dominic - Angel wanted to make a joke like this, but looking at Sonia with tears on her face, she still couldn't bear to bully her.

"He's getting the attention of the gangsters down there, and the sooner we leave, the safer he'll be."

With Sonya, Angel walked through the empty corridor to the stairs leading to the hall on the first floor, where the boy named Ian, who had just been rescued by her, was looking out at the top of the staircase, and was so frightened that he shivered when he heard the footsteps of the two.

"It's you...... Is that the girl you're trying to save? Congratulations on finding her. "There was a lot of gunfire outside, and it seemed like two groups of people were fighting, and we had to find another place to get out." ”

"That's my companion getting attention, let's go to the back door, that's where I ...... just now"

"Boom-"

Before Angel could finish speaking, a violent explosion was heard at the main entrance, followed by a shaking sensation of the ground shaking the mountains, and even the gas lamps hanging on the wall became faint, as if someone had blown down half of the house with explosives weighing several pounds.

The door to the antechamber was slammed open, the dust from the explosion spilled out from the other side, and a sturdy figure cut through the smoke to the staircase, where Angel quickly drew his gun and took aim.

"It's me, don't shoot!" The figure fanned away the smoke in front of him, revealing Dominic's dusty face, "Did you find Sonia?" They ...... right away."

Sonia rushed up to hug him crying, making the provocateur shut up.

"Wait until you get out and cry, what's going on at the front door? Why are there more gunshots? ”

Angel didn't care about the reunited couple, but frowned and looked in the direction of the front door, which did not calm down because of Dominic's absence, but erupted into a more dense gunfire, as if it was really as Ian said just now, "the two groups of people fought".

"Alright, Sonia, let's get out of here at once," touched the girl's messy brown hair, and the gray-faced provocateur turned around, "MI9 people called, they used explosives, and they directly blew up half of the front hall, and now there is a fierce battle on both sides, and I took advantage of the chaos to sneak over." ”

"Also for the manuscript?"

"What else? To save the captured teenagers? ”

Glancing at Ian, who still had traces of rope binding on his wrist, Dominic grabbed Sonia and walked towards the back door first.

"The Zmange Party has a geographical advantage, but it is inferior in numbers, and there are no extraordinary people in charge, it is estimated that it will not last for a few minutes, let's run quickly, and when MI9 finds that there is no manuscript here, it is estimated that it will target us again."

Coming to the back door where Angel had just climbed over the wall to enter, the two extraordinary men used wooden boxes to help Sonia and Ian climb over the low wall, and the four of them quickly left this place of right and wrong along the small alley behind the red brick alley.

The sound of gunfire and shouts lingered behind him, and it was clear that the Zmanger party was not as quickly defeated as Dominic had suspected, but continued to resist.

It wasn't until the four of them crossed several streets to the banks of the Tasok River, which borders the docklands in the Eastern End, that the faint sound of gunfire disappeared from their ears.

"This one, it's time to leave, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to follow us again."

As soon as he was out of danger, Dominic looked at the only "outsider" among the four, Ian, who was also kidnapped by the Zmanger Party.

The latter nodded very understandingly, looked at Angel and said: "Thank you for your help, beautiful lady, presumably you were also involved because of that manuscript, I suggest you find a place to hide for a while, do not go to the police or seek official help, especially MI9, they ......"

"I know, they've been infiltrated into a sieve, these scraps!"

Dominique, a former MI9 member, chimed in unceremoniously.

“…… Well, if you know, I'm going to disappear for a while, but I owe you a favor," Ian nodded at Angel, "If you need intelligence, you can go to the 'Brave Man's Bar' and say find the old man, they can contact me." ”

With that, the emaciated boy walked west along the banks of the Tasok River, and soon disappeared into the night and fog.

"What about you? Do you want to go back to your accommodation? ”

Retracting his gaze at Ian's back, Angel looked at Dominic and Sonya, the former was gray-faced, covered in dust from the explosion and blood from unknown people, and the latter, although the dress was still intact, but his face was also tired.

"How is it possible, I will definitely be caught if I go back now," Dominic shook his head, "I'm going to go directly to the dock area, find someone who dares to go out at night, go to Pritz Port downstream overnight, go to sea early tomorrow morning, and never go back to this ghost place." ”

Due to the lack of widespread electrical systems, steam trains did not operate at night, and most steamships did not dare to run at night, but there were still brave boatmen who dared to go down the river at night and risk their lives to earn a little living expenses.

"That kid named Ian is right, you'd better stay out of the limelight, these intelligence agencies can't find the manuscript, they will definitely expand the search, and sooner or later they will find you on the head."

"I don't have to worry about it, I have other things to do, I can't leave Beckland, and through anti-divination, I can also avoid the tracking of the extraordinary."

Dominic listened to Angel's words, sneered, and retorted: "Anti-divination? You're too reliant on those means, do you think I know how to divination? Haven't tracked you to your safe house yet? ”

That's not what you said when you begged me to use the magic mirror to save you a few hours ago......

The provocateur continued to speak to himself, not even glaring at Sonia beside him.

"I suggest you replace both of those safe houses, clean up the contents and leave no traces, it's none of your business, experienced hunters can quickly track you down from where you live."

Is he caring about me?

Angel chuckled.

Dominic babbled on and on about anti-tracking methods, until a carriage beside him "gurgled" over the loose paving stones, and then he remembered that he was about to flee and shut his mouth.

He then took out a small envelope from his bosom and handed it to Angel.

"It's a reward for you, anyway, thank you for reaching out this time......"

"If you go to Byam in the future, you can go to the 'Sea and Fire' bar on Pelican Street to find me, of course, don't use your real name, just say find 'Lucky Nick'......" Dominic said at the end, and suddenly said in a tone, "I hope you don't use it, I don't want to have anything to do with Beckland and you witches anymore." ”

"Even a good witch."

After watching Dominic play a one-man show with some blankness, he pulled Sonia towards the dock area in the east direction of the Tasok River, Angel pinched the envelope in his hand, and found that it was thin, almost containing nothing.

This guy won't mess with me with an empty envelope, that's why he's running so fast......

Looking down at the envelope in her hand, she tore open one side, pulled out the only piece of letter paper inside, and looked at the contents in the dark light through the moonlight.

"Sequence 8, Master of Tricks. Main ingredients: Soul Eater's stomach pouch, 20 ml of blood from deep-sea marlin. Auxiliary materials: 5 ml of essential oil made of hornbeam, 10 grams of nematophyl powder, one blooming red chestnut flower, 80 ml of pure water. ”

This is...... Is this the recipe for a potion?

Angel held back her surprise and looked at the backs of the two.

He said he would give me a reward that would satisfy me, but he was referring to the recipe for the potion? Indeed, the formula is slightly equal to the gold pound in the world of the extraordinary, and sometimes it can even do things that the gold pound can't......

Continuing to look down, Angel realized that there was more than just a recipe for a potion on the paper.

"Sequence 8, Barbarian."

"Sequence 9, The Fortune Teller."

On this piece of paper, a total of three potion recipes are recorded!
