269 Superior Ranger
Wobbly, wobbly......
Allegri slowly felt the feeling of wandering, he should be in a bumpy carriage, right?
Allegri's consciousness gradually regained as he felt the tremor of the tough wood wheels crushing over the pavement, and after the sensation, the auditory switch was also turned on by the invisible psychic tentacles.
The grinding of the wooden shafts, the sound of hooves, and the occasional snort of the horses made him completely sure that he was in the carriage. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, as long as the place where I appeared was not in the gloomy dungeon of the Holy See, then the situation would not be too bad.
He struggled to move his body, and immediately felt a tingling sensation in his joints, and then, the sharp pain that had been suppressed all over his body suddenly gushed out, making him subconsciously spit out a slight moan. The pain is not as tax as a sharp blade tearing, they are hidden in every piece of flesh, and only the moment it is provoked, will trickle down and knock you down in an instant.
This is a special injury caused by a giant collision, and it is likely that it has not been treated in time after the injury, otherwise there would be no such sequelae. Once the pain accumulated, it could no longer be suppressed, washing over and over again the nerves of Allegri's body, making him involuntarily curl up and tremble slightly.
"Huh, he's awake?" the familiar voice of the half-elf sounded on the other side of the carriage, but it was clearly not him who was questioning.
"Like...... Not yet. A clear and slightly depressed girl's voice sounded not far from him, and he could distinguish the rustling of cotton rubbing, which should have been the girl leaning over to observe her condition.
Hearing Illo's familiar voice, Allegri finally put his mind at ease. Although he still doesn't know what happened in the square after his free fall, it looks like it now. They finally got out of it.
"Then if you have recovered, can't you release a magic spell to relieve it?" Illo's voice sounded again, with a little anxiety, "He doesn't seem to be in good shape. β
"Nope. The girl cherished words like gold, but Allegri always felt that the voice was somewhat familiar.
"What can I do then...... "Illo seemed a little distressed, and muttered something casually.
"He's seriously injured. There seemed to be a hint of dissatisfaction in the girl's voice, "I said a long time ago, it's best to find a professional healer to deal with it immediately." β
"What can I do, we're running away now," Illo replied helplessly, "Innedir is like madness, pestering in the back. β
"You're on the run, I'm just a hostage. The girl corrected softly.
Hearing this, Allegri's somewhat confused head suddenly flashed with inspiration. This seems to be the voice of the singing girl in the Plaza de Cotia, what happened after she fell unconscious, and what does the so-called "hostage" mean?
While he was thinking, the carriage shook suddenly, and the wheels seemed to hit the stones on the road, and Allegri screamed in pain, taking advantage of the momentum to slowly open his eyes.
The light pierced his eyes and made the corners of his eyes a little sour, and Allegri saw the roof of the car woven with diamond flowers for the first time. A sense of joy for the aftermath of the catastrophe swelled inexplicably, and he struggled to twist his neck to see what was going on around him. But if there is a heavy plumb sinker. Make this simple little action stiff and sluggish.
"Huh?" the girl moved closer to Allegri and noticed that he had opened his eyes. He also seemed to be quite happy, and hurriedly beckoned, "He's awake." β
Once the coldest days are behind us, the alternation between winter and warm spring becomes rapid.
The cold wind, which was once as cold and hard as a knife, gradually melted in the warm embrace of the goddess of spring, and the snow-covered land became soft. The mud of spring is slightly moist, and the green color is emerging little by little.
Horse-drawn carriages adorned with white thorn wood emblems galloped unimpeded through the northern wilderness of the Holy Duchy of Ian, and the warm wind of early spring lifted the curtains of the windows and coiled through them. I shuddered.
Allegri half-leaned back on the soft silk cushions and smiled at Illo, who was seated across from him. After the catastrophe, the Bo brothers are here, and this feeling is really gratifying and reassuring.
"You're all right, are you?" the half-elf said with concern looking at him, "That Inedir has been chasing after our butts, and he hasn't had time to stop and find a doctor to deal with your injuries. β
"It's fine, but it's going to make me miserable," Allegri snorted in pain, his eyes turning to wonder, "By the way, how did you drag me out......? Hostages?"
"Ha Luha, underestimate me," Illo laughed, proudly, "Quigqu is a trivial matter, for a high-ranking ranger like me, it's not enough to worry about. β
"Waitβ" Allegri interjected, looking at him suspiciously, "what you just said...... When did you get promoted?"
"It's right in the Plaza de la Gothia," Illo said with a grin, unable to hide the stinky fart on his face, "I don't know what's wrong with Lu Dao, but suddenly it came naturally, and I was promoted, you say, in that situation, who could stop me from being a high-ranking professional?"
Listening to the half-elf's accent that kept emphasizing "I'm a high-ranking professional", Allegri couldn't help but laugh. However, looking back at that time, the strength of the Holy See of Light was almost exhausted, Amosic and Silves had already led their troops to evacuate, and the "Speaker of the White Bones" had already fallen on the spot, and on the square, there was really not enough high-end combat power to stop a high-ranking ranger. Of course, although Illo's strength can come and go freely, it is impossible to completely annihilate the opponent.
"I really didn't expect you to dominate the whole world one day," Allegri teased, "Do you want to talk about the feelings that stir in your heart?"
"Che, that's a common thing for me. Illo put on a master's demeanor and waved his hand disdainfully, but his eyes were still full of joy. He has been stuck in the bottleneck of high-level promotion for a long time, and he sometimes even regrets choosing the difficult inheritance of "Dragon Stalker", but now he has finally made a breakthrough and completely untied a knot in his heart.
"By the way, what's going on?" Allegrinu said, glancing at the white-robed girl who was staring out the window.
"You think I'm stupid," Illo snorted as he played with the white feather arrow in his hand, "Although no one in the square can stop me, the Holy Alliance's reinforcements are Chen Bingchengnan's eye, and if I don't take a high-ranking hostage from the Holy See, I will be caught up sooner or later with the two of you." β
"She's also a high authority?" Allegri asked, pulling his gaze away from the girl, "why didn't you take Innedil captive, was it incompetent?"
"What do you know, of course persimmons have to pick soft pinchs," Illo glared and leaned in and explained in a low voice, "That's right, I thought at the time, if Innedil was taken hostage, the Bright Church would be leaderless, and there might be trouble in the chaos," he pointed at the girl. Not as good as this girl, she is a saint of the Holy See, her status is extremely high, and at the same time she is not very threatening, and more importantly, Innedil seems to care about her very much, I take it as a threat, let him provide a carriage, let him open the city to lead the way, it can be said that it is 100 easy. β
"Okay. Allegri nodded suddenly, and saw the girl turn her head and snort angrily at Illo.
"She seems to be very unconvinced?" the two had been talking and laughing for a while, and Allegri's heart was completely relaxed, and he smiled, "By the way, doesn't it mean that the chosen saint will never be able to leave the Cathedral of Cotia for the rest of her life?"
"At first, she was going to die or live, but if she did, Innedir would have to fight with me," Illo said with a smug shrug, "but this little thing is not enough for me to be a high-ranking ranger." β
Seeing the eager expression on his face, "Ask me, come and ask me", Allegri could only build him a staircase down, "Tell me, what is the solution?"
"I told her that if she dared to die again," said the half-elf, smiling all over her face, "I'll strip her naked and hang her on the head of Ranken......"
Allegri couldn't help but be stunned, and said helplessly for a long time, "This, is it really suitable?"
"Of course, the effect was immediate," Illo nodded repeatedly, "and as soon as I said this, she was immediately honest." β
"Hmph," the white-robed girl snorted hatefully at the half-elf, "Demon!"
"I don't care," Illo said unconcerned, pointing at Allegri with a hippie smile, "I'm far from him." β
"Impossible," the girl shook her head resolutely, "how can this gentleman be as bad as you are if he can undertake the 'God's Favor' ceremony." β
"What did you say?" Allegri asked, frowning, "what 'God-Bestowed' ceremony?"
"It's your divine power to repel evil in the square, it's an ancient ritual that has been handed down from my mainstream. The girl explained softly.
"Oh?" Allegri said, sensing the terrible condition in his body, "Can you explain to me in detail?"
"This ...... Alright," the pure girl hesitated, and finally nodded slightly, but then added, "But this is a secret of the Holy See, and after I tell you, you must put me back." β
"I didn't ...... Question," Allegri said in a moment's thought, then readily agreed, "but only when we reach safety." β
A hint of joy appeared on the girl's pale face, and she nodded vigorously.
I said that this gentleman would certainly not be a bad man, the girl thought to herself, but who could tell her if this was right or wrong......?
