"What!"

Montoya's face changed, and she stared at Chen Daolin tightly: "You...... What you're saying is true?"

"Is it good for me to lie to you?" Chen Daolin looked at him and said lightly: "I'm not for you, but for her!"

As he spoke, Chen Daolin pointed to Lan Lan who was lying on the ground and said, "What is going on inside you has nothing to do with me, but if you are arrested by the officials and soldiers because of this internal ghost, won't Lan Lan suffer with it?" I just want to save her." ”

Montoya stretched out his hand and pressed Chen Daolin's shoulder, his strength was very strong, Chen Daolin was pressed on his shoulder, and he couldn't move for a while, but he didn't care, just frowned and looked at Montoya: "You don't believe it?"

"Of course I don't believe it!" Montoya gritted his teeth: "Adan has been with me for ten years! And Eggert is also extremely devout to the faith, and has followed me for more than five years! Both of them can be trusted and will never betray!"

Chen Daolin smiled, he looked at Montoya, and suddenly asked: "In this world, there is bribery and betrayal, and it has been like this from ancient times to the present, don't you know this truth?"

Montoya was speechless.

"You religious people are frighteningly fanatical, but you are also laughable when you are naΓ―ve. Chen Daolin said slowly: "I won't tell you more, let the facts speak." I'm not sure which of the two is the inner ghost nowβ€”maybe both, but you won't believe what I say now, and you'll find out later. ”

......

In the afternoon, there was a sudden noise at the bottom of the mountain. Immediately, I saw a figure speeding through the forest towards the mountain.

The man was covered in blood. He held a sword in his left hand, and his right arm, which had been cut off at the elbow, was still spurting blood as he ran.

He stumbled though. But the speed was very fast, while running wildly, while the voice was hoarse, and he roared wildly: "My lord!!Run!!Run!!

This man is the Adam!

Adan ran a few more steps up the hill. Suddenly, there was a "boom" sound behind him, and then a sharp arrow flew in, and with a pop, it shot through his calf.

Adan screamed and rolled on the ground, but he still stood up forcibly, gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow, and threw it on the ground with flesh and blood. Roaring angrily, "Eggert." You're going to be punished!!"

In the mountains and forests behind him. There were dense swords and sword shadows, and countless soldiers wearing the armor of the Roland army rushed up, spears and short swords and shields. At the head of the group is also a general in a red cloak, with bright armor.

Adan took a few more steps. One more shot.

This time, the arrow passed through his chest, and although it was on the right side, it brought out a mist of blood.

He could no longer bear such a heavy blow, took a few steps forward with inertia, and finally fell to the ground.

At this moment, the pursuers behind him had already reached a close distance, and several soldiers surrounded him, and they were about to stab Adan with their spears.

"Wait a minute!"

With a loud shout, a red-cloaked general ran up, stopped his soldiers, walked in front of Adam, kicked him over, and looked at Adam with his back facing the sky, the general frowned, and said lightly: "Tie it up first." ”

Behind this general, there was another man, stout, covered in leather armor covered with blood, and bearded, who was the other man under Montoya, named Eggert.

This man walked to the general's side, frowned, and said: "My lord, this person can't be kept, I am familiar with his temperament, and he is the most stubborn, I am afraid it will be difficult to subdue." ”

"Phew!"

Lying on the ground, Adan spat at the blood foam fiercely, stared at Eggert with a fire-breathing gaze, and said word by word: "Eggert! You have betrayed your faith, and the goddess will punish you in the end! You will not escape the judgment!!"

Eggert's face changed, but then he showed a hint of cruelty, took two steps, looked at Adan condescendingly, and said fiercely: "Goddess, where is the goddess? You are suing me!!A hundred years! The church has never received a single oracle from the goddess! Two successive popes have prayed all year round, but nothing has been gained! Adan, you fool! The goddess has already abandoned the church! What kind of faith are you talking about! If the goddess will really come, then why didn't Du Wei show up when she suppressed the church! Then why didn't she protect us when the royal family stripped us of its powers! Goddess? Ha! This is a joke at all! Even now, only a fool like you would still believe in a goddess! A god who has already abandoned you!"

Adam's face was furious, but his throat rattled, but he couldn't say a word, his breathing was shortness at first, but gradually slowed down, and finally stopped.

Eggert frowned, looked at Adam's gradually losing look, bent down and touched his snort, turned to the general and frowned, "My lord, he's dead." ”

This general is clearly the costume of the Red Feather Rider of the Royal Forest Army, and when he heard this, he snorted and waved his hand: "If you die, you have to take it back!"

Several soldiers rushed up and carried Adan's body down the mountain.

A group of soldiers had now reached the side of the mountain by the stream. The general looked at the empty place beside the stream, only a fire that had been extinguished, and couldn't help but look gloomy, and looked at Eggert: "What about the person you are talking about?"

Eggert was also ugly, looked around, and opened his mouth: "Clearly, clearly here...... We said okay, Adan and I went down the mountain to find medicine, they are here waiting for us to come back, but ......"

"Look around!" The general of the red feather cavalry turned pale, and at the sound of an order, his soldiers scattered in all directions, and the general said fiercely: "This Prancing Horse Stream has been surrounded, and the mountain is full of our people, unless they turn into birds and run away, otherwise, it will never disappear out of thin air!"

But the general walked to the fire by the stream, and reached out to touch the ashes of the fire, and his face became more and more ugly.

"The ashes are cold. He stood up and sighed, "It seems that they have long since left." ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Eggert: "Did you leak something? Look at the temperature of the ashes of this fire, they have been walking for at least two hours." It must have been that as soon as you left, Montoya fled with someone! You must have been caught in the flaw by him, deliberately broke away from you, and slipped away. ”

Eggert also looked puzzled. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "This ...... It can't be, sir. I know Montoya's temperament best, he is like a fire. If you see through my identity, you won't be able to endure it at that time, you will definitely have a seizure immediately, and kill me, how can you deliberately break me away and let me go down the mountain, this is ......"

"Idiot, what's so hard to guess here. The general sneered: "Although Montoya is powerful, he must have been seriously injured, and he saw your flaws." But because of serious injuries. Unable to kill you. I was afraid of being harmed by you, so in front of you, I deliberately suppressed the injury. I don't let you see it, and then I pull you away. to escape. Well...... It must be like this. ”

Eggert thought about it carefully, and felt that the general was reasonable, so he couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, he is indeed injured a lot, but...... I didn't know he was so badly injured!Alas!!It's a pity, if I had known, I would have taken him down right there!!"

Although the general was disappointed, he still patted Eggert on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Ha! Although you have done a great thing wrong, your meritorious service this time is not small, and you will definitely be rewarded generously when you go back." As for this Montoya, all the people around him have died, and the church has suffered a great loss of vitality after this incident, and it is difficult to do anything anymore, and it is nothing to leave a small life. Sooner or later, I'll get him!"

Many soldiers searched around, and the grass and bushes were searched, but nothing was found. Although the general was a little disappointed, he had no choice but to sigh, wave his hand, straighten out his team, and go down the mountain.

After a few moments, the army of Soshan had all disappeared into the woods, and there was no sound in the distance......

On a big tree beside the stream, above the head where the general and Eggert were standing, there was a voice.

Chen Daolin gently put away the phantom cloak, and three figures appeared on the trunk. Darlinggo held Lan Lan in his hands, and next to him was Montoya, who was pale.

The three of them never left at all, but wrapped Chen Daolin's phantom cloak under them and hid together on the trunk of the tree.

Although these soldiers who searched the mountains searched carefully, they did not even let go of the grass and bushes, but at this moment it was autumn after all, the leaves were sparse, and when they looked up at the top of the trees, they could see clearly and empty at a glance. And no one climbed the tree to look for it.

With the help of the phantom cloak, he hid his figure, and only then did he escape the search of the soldiers.

The three of them jumped off the tree and fell to the ground, Chen Daolin was still holding Lan Lan, and when he looked back, he saw Montoya's face getting whiter and whiter, his chest rose and fell, and he suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Chen Daolin knew that he must have been hit hard in his heart at this moment, and he was extremely sad and sad, so he hurriedly went up, pressed his shoulder, and said quickly: "Montoya! Montoya!! Take a deep breath! Take a deep breath! You can't die here yet! Listen! If you die here, then everything will be over! Everyone's sacrifice, everyone's death, all of them will be buried! I know you hate that traitor so much, but only if you live and keep your life alive, can you have a chance to make him pay for his blood debt!"

Chen Daolin said such a thing in Montoya's ear in one breath, and Montoya's empty eyes only regained their brilliance little by little, took a few deep breaths, and finally relaxed and stabilized his breathing, and then spit out blood, then shook his head and said sullenly: "I ...... I'm not going to die. ”

He barely climbed a few steps, leaned against the tree, gasped, and looked at Chen Daolin, his eyes were complicated and full of doubts.

"Why, are you looking at me like this, do you hate me for grabbing you just now and not letting you go down to fight with them?" Chen Daolin shook his head: "I know, seeing that Adan die in front of your eyes, you must not come to the rescue, it must be ......"

"You don't have to say more, I understand. Montoya clenched her fists little by little, her bones made a clicking sound, and tears slowly flowed from her eyes: "If I jump, not only will I not be able to save Adam, but I will also die, and I will also be buried here with Lan Lan......"

When Chen Daolin heard this, he couldn't help but slander in his heart: Damn, you only talk about Lanlan, but you don't mention Lao Tzu! If it weren't for Lao Tzu's help, you would have hung up a long time ago! This kind of religious madman really has no conscience.

Montoya got up again, slowly crawled to the place where Adan had just breathed, and knelt there, his hands stuck in the dirt.

His tears fell to the ground one by one. This sturdy man was in pain, and said in a low voice: "Brother Adan, please forgive me for not saving myself when I saw death! I am not afraid of death, nor do I spare my life, but I am responsible for the church." I must not die in this place! Only if I live can we continue our great cause and hope to restore the glory of the Church! Please forgive me...... I, I ......"

Speaking of which, in the end. I couldn't cry anymore.

Chen Daolin stood aside, knowing that he needed to vent like this at the moment, so he didn't step forward to comfort him, but let Montoya cry bitterly.

After a while, Montoya's crying gradually stopped. Suddenly, when he looked up, he saw Chen Daolin standing in front of him, his face was calm, and he reached out and handed over a hand towel, but it was wet with stream water.

"Wipe your face. ”

β€œ...... Thank you. Montoya turned out. He vigorously wiped the tears and blood stains on his face. Then he suddenly solemnly faced Chen Daolin. Kneeling there, he bowed his head and said, "Master Darling, if today's incident wasn't for your reminder. I'm dead here! I owe you my life! No...... I owe you a great favor, and so do the Church of Light! I will definitely repay you for your ...... today."

"Alright. Chen Daolin naturally made a faint look on his face: "I said, I'm not for you, but for Lanlan." ”

So saying, he pulled Montoya to his feet, and together they went to the side of the stream and sat down. He took out some more food and divided it into a few bites.

Although Montoya was sad because of the loss of his companion in his heart, and angry because of the betrayal of someone inside, he gradually calmed down at the moment, and couldn't help but look at Chen Daolin and said, "I...... Can I ask you a few questions?"

Say. Chen Daolin picked up a handful of cool stream water and washed his face.

"Just ...... Since you've already guessed that there is a ghost, and you guessed that bastard will bring someone back to search for him, why do you dare to stay here with me?"

Chen Daolin laughed and said lightly: "Otherwise, how could you die? If you don't let you see the truth with your own eyes, a religious madman like you won't believe what I said that there are ghosts around you." ”

After a pause, he looked at Montoya: "Besides, the most dangerous place is the safest place. I deliberately made the fire cold, they thought we had run away a long time ago, how could they have thought that we were so bold as to dare to stay where we are and watch them in secret......?

Montoya already had some admiration and convincing for Chen Daolin in her heart at this moment.

This man is witty and calm, and at the end of this day and night, everything he has seen and encountered has been expected by him! We have acted rudely, but we do not know it, but he can analyze the benefits and disadvantages with a sharp point...... If such people had been able to help the cause in the church, I would not have suffered the disastrous defeat I have suffered today...... If I have such people around me, then the cause of the Church will be great......

Thinking of this, Montoya looked at Chen Daolin again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's a pity that he is not a member of the church, but a magician.

The Academy of Magic, on the other hand, has always been detached and has never been willing to participate in these disputes......

If you want to win over such talents to join your camp, I'm afraid it's not so easy.

The more Montoya thought about it, the more helpless she became, but Chen Daolin ignored him on the side, just got the magic potion and fed it into Lan Lan's mouth.

He is a master of potions, and the potions he dispenses are naturally cured by medicine. But in a moment, Lan Lan, who had been unconscious, began to rise and fall in her chest, her eyelids trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as Lan Lan opened her eyes, she immediately felt that she was being held in her arms. Her heart sank suddenly, and she instinctively struggled, but as soon as her hand was raised, she suddenly felt that her body was sore, and her arm was only raised by an inch, and she was no longer able to lift it.

Just when Lan Lan was panicking in her heart, she suddenly heard a familiar voice that couldn't be more familiar.

"Hey, long-legged girl, you're awake. ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Lan Lan's body tensed instantly, but immediately, she suddenly relaxed.

After calming down, I also recognized that what I smelled in my nose was clearly that familiar smell......

"Darling?"

......

Chen Daolin simply hugged Lan Lan Heng and held him in his arms. Lan Lan finally saw Chen Daolin's face, looking at this familiar face, the expression on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Lan Lan suddenly felt hot in his heart, only to feel that his eyes were hot, and it seemed that something was about to flow out.

Chen Daolin looked at Lan Lan's head pillowed in his arms, and tears flowed from his eyes. I couldn't help but sigh softly, stretched out my finger to help her gently flick away the tears, and sighed in a low voice: "Okay, why did you wake up and shed tears? This is not the strong character I know." A female samurai who stares at murder. ”

"I ......" Lan Lan felt bitter in her heart, but then she calmed down, her voice was hoarse, but she hurriedly said, "I." How could I be, I remember......"

Chen Daolin's face turned stern and glanced at his side.

Montoya's face entered Lan Lan's sight, his expression was grim, and he said slowly: "Lan Lan!"

"Montoya-sama?!" Lan Lan struggled hard, as if to get up.

Chen Daolin pressed her down, frowned, and said, "What are you messing with!" You are in a magic potion, although I have prepared an antidote for you, it will take at least half a day for your strength to recover. ”

Montoya's expression was a little complicated. glanced at Chen Daolin and Lan Lan. Seeing Chen Daolin holding Lan Lan in his arms. Lan Lan didn't seem to have any intention of resisting - such an attitude couldn't help but make Montoya feel a little doubtful in her heart. But then he didn't bother to think about these details, and immediately asked, "Lan Lan." Are you awake now?"

"I ...... It's okay. Lan Lan thought for a while and said, "It's just that the body doesn't have the strength." But my head is much clearer. As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Chen Daolin, her eyes were a little meaningful, and then asked, "Lord Montoya, you, how could you ...... with him?" Darling together?"

Darling?

It's a very affectionate title.

Montoya's mind became more and more confused. Lan Lan is a candidate for saint women in the church, and she is very indifferent to any man, and she has never seen her so close to any person of the opposite sex.

This one...... Darling Chen, what is the relationship with her?

"Let's not be busy talking about this first. Montoya said quickly: "I have something to ask clearly, and you have thought about it and answered it carefully." ”

As he spoke, he exhaled, "Do you remember what happened before you fell unconscious?"

Lan Lan's expression changed, and then a faint sadness appeared in her eyes, and she looked at Montoya: "My lord...... We, I'm afraid, are being ...... Betrayed!"

And so it was!

Montoya's heart sank, although she had expected it for a long time, but when she heard Lan Lan say it herself, she still felt a pain in her heart: "What the hell is going on, you can make it clear." ”

"Yes!" Lan Lan's face froze, he groaned for a moment, and slowly spoke:

"On that day, in my stronghold in the city, several wounded church brothers were sent to hide. In the evening, I was using light healing on a wounded man, but suddenly I heard the sound of fighting outside, and then the gate was broken, and the city guards rushed in, and we were caught off guard. Although everyone resisted desperately, they were outnumbered in the end. There were a few powerful officers on the other side, and I resisted for a while, and I was knocked unconscious......"

After listening to Lan Lan's words, Chen Daolin couldn't help frowning secretly.

It turned out that on the day he first came to the imperial capital, he met Montoya and others assassinating the emperor on the street - at that time, Lan Lan was already in the imperial capital!

According to Lan Lan's account, Lan Lan has been with the extremists in these churches these days. and assassinated the emperor and tried to rebel...... This kind of thing, Lan Lan is obviously involved!

Montoya and the others failed to assassinate them on the street, and the assassins fled, and some of the wounded were hidden in the secret stronghold of the church in the imperial capital, where Lan Lan has been hiding.

There are a few doubts that Chen Daolin doesn't understand: Why did Lan Lan get together with the people of the church again? She was obviously with Du Weiwei before, although she left Du Weiwei later, but Lan Lan's situation is special, he and Lan Lan both know very well that Lan Lan has already lost her qualification as a saint because of the one-night stand with Chen Daolin on the shore of Dayuan Lake, which is equivalent to violating the strict laws of the church and betraying the faith.

It stands to reason that she should be hiding from the church, and once the church finds out that she has violated the strict law, she will definitely be severely punished.

In such a situation, why is she wrapped up with the people of the church?

And...... He actually participated in such a big thing as the murder of the emperor!!

With Lanlan's temperament, why do you want to participate in this kind of murder?!(To be continued)
