Section 14 Hobbies

Fourteen hobbies

The thick wooden door does not move. Although through the crack in the door, Koba seemed to hear the sound of movement in the room, and spoke in a very soft voice, but the door showed no sign of opening.

"Please help me......" Kazuha knocked on every door from house to house, but none of them opened for her. As she walked past a window, she saw a man looking out of the window, but as she approached, the man quickly hid out of sight.

"Kind sir, please help me......" Kazuha suddenly cried. In the silence of the night, there was some kind of wind flowing, ominous and fierce. Even Xiangye could clearly feel the suffocating pressure.

In the darkness, it seemed that something terrible was coming.

"I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm alone......"

"Maybe, kid. Across the wall was the voice of an old man, and he finally answered. "I don't know why you're being chased, but it's your business, not mine. And I don't know you. ”

"Oops, oops, how come there is only one person. The night breeze brought the sound from the rear to Kojiba's ears. She turned around in horror and saw a man in green leather armor standing in the middle of the street in the moonlight. The man was tall and thin, and his eyes were full of an indescribable danger, and the first instinct was that of a thin, thin knife that had been sharpened to the point of incomparably sharpness.

"It's nerve-wracking...... If I run away, I'll only have to catch one. After all, we have to catch it alive!" the man said to himself. He obviously didn't move, and he didn't see any weapons on his body except for the leather armor on his body, but just standing like this, he already made Xiangye unable to move due to fear.

"The men are killed, and the women are left...... It seems that the content of the order is like this......"

The two sides confronted each other from afar. The man was motionless, and Xiangye couldn't move due to fear and nervousness. By the time she finally regained a little consciousness and realized that she had to find a way to escape, it was too late.

While she was being seized by fear, pursuers appeared on the left and right, and behind her was the closed wooden door. The only consolation was that all these people didn't do anything, just stared at her to prevent her from escaping.

Then she saw the last person appear. It was a man of medium stature, dressed in white priestly robes, with four or five armoured soldiers. The man looked young, probably in his twenties by his appearance alone, but as he approached, the others immediately bowed their heads in a humble gesture.

"Why is there only one?" asked Karl, looking around.

"I'm sorry, Bishop Ni, they're separated. We only had time to find one. Someone replied.

Carl held up the crystal ball in his hand and stared at it for a short time. He went west...... And I don't know where I got a horse...... A horse without a saddle probably happened to encounter a loose horse. What a blessing to be. ”

"Horses, that's not going to be easy to chase...... said a man with a great bow beside Karl. Oddly enough, although he carried a large bow on his back, he did not carry a quiver, and the bow did not have a bowstring. "Bishop Ni, if you must catch him, you better ......"

"Not necessarily. Carl's eyes rested on Sagawa, a gaze reminiscent of an eagle staring at a white dove. "It's just some stupid thief anyway, and it's too much of a fuss to make a big deal about it. Perran, I'll take this woman away, and I'll leave the rest to you. ”

He made a gesture, and several guards stepped forward and grabbed the female thief in front of him. Contrary to what was expected, the female thief did not seem to be trained in martial arts, she only struggled slightly, and was immediately subdued.

That's better, Carl thought, tweaking his fingers.

Watching the archbishop leave with the arrested female thief, Perrin sighed and turned to face his group of colleagues.

"What are we going to do next?" someone asked. "Do you want to chase it?"

No wonder he asks such a question. The summer nights are slightly cooler than the daytime, but they are still quite hot. Chasing someone who escaped on horseback on a night like this can be a chore. Besides, Carl is gone, and without Carl's guidance, it will be difficult to find the target if he changes his clothes or hides somewhere.

The main thing is the attitude of the archbishop, which makes it clear that this is just a trivial matter, and there will be no reward for completing the task.

Perrin thought for a moment. "Rohr," he said to the tall, thin man who had caught up with Xiangye first, "you guys go chase after it, if you really can't catch up, forget it, it's an irrelevant matter anyway." ”

Rohr leaped backwards, completely beyond the ability of a human to jump, and he jumped lightly onto the roof of the bungalow, chasing in the direction Karl had pointed out earlier.

"Let's go back to the rest. If even Rohr can't catch up, then we'll go in vain. Perrin said. He stroked the longbow on his back, and as his hand touched the arrow, the thin, barely visible string flashed a silvery white glow.

......

The Nightmare Horse came to a halt on a grassy slope.

It should be safe here. Ashrufat tried to climb off his mount, but found himself unable to do such a trivial. His wound was no longer as painful and itchy, but instead a feeling of extreme weakness throughout his body. It's as if the strength to move your little finger has disappeared. When the Nightmare Horse jumped straight from the wall just now, the impact almost shattered him.

"To speed up your body's recovery, and to be safe," Carrie said in her mind. "I advise you to bury yourself in the ground. ”

"I don't have the strength to dig a hole right now. Ashrufat replied. There are no tools to take advantage of.

"There's a fitting cave ahead. Carrie guided the Nightmare Pony slowly forward to the edge of the cave. This is the type of burrow that is formed by the excavation of rats or termites, which causes the ground to collapse, and is common in mountainous areas. The hole is not big, but it is more than enough to bury one person.

The Nightmare Pony gently flipped over, "upside down" Eshurufat into the hole with as little motion as she could. Ashrufat seized the wind of magic with the most powerful force, causing a tiny explosion at the entrance of the cavern, causing the collapsed earth to fill the cavern.

Now, Ashruphat has completely disappeared from the worldly realm. Even if someone passed by here, they would at most think that it was just a cavern that had collapsed, and it would be impossible to think of what was actually buried underground.

However, this trick is redundant in a sense. Therefore, at dawn on this day, in the Grand Temple of Oren, the actual ruler of Oren, that is, Archbishop Karl, had received the news that his subordinates had swooped down.

"Hmm...... Can't find the wounded thief who escaped?Forget it, it doesn't matter......" Carl waved the report in his hand, and a flame rose from the paper, instantly turning the paper into ashes. But the flame didn't hurt Carl's hand in the slightest.

"Rejoice, little girl. Karl turned his gaze to the girl in front of him. They were in a sealed room at the moment, Shoba was tied to a Y-shaped shelf, shackled hand and foot in steel shackles, and looked at the man in front of her with a frightened expression, knowing that this man would decide her fate. "Your accomplice fled. ”

Carl held his chin with his hand, and the expression and look of Xiangye made him feel very satisfied. "Maybe you should tell me how many of you there are, and where are they?"

"I don't know anything, I'm just ......" Xiangye swallowed the next half of the sentence stiffly. If they knew that she was a member of Summer Night's Dream, then ...... The whole troupe is probably in great danger. She already knew the identity of this man.

"But I'm not interested in that. What are your gangs and accomplices to me? at most a bunch of thieves lured by stupid rumors trying to steal here. I'm only interested in you!"

Karl's eyes revealed a naked greedy smile. His eyes were fixed on the girl in front of him, at her handsome face and well-proportioned and slender body.

"Because I'm tired of women who come when they call and go when they linger. Those women who are for power and desire, although they want as much as they want, but they can't enjoy it. Nor the joy of conquest that I had hoped for...... And very few women can have such a well-exercised body. ”

In the depths of greed in his eyes was a bloodthirsty cruelty.

Kazuha has been in the troupe for a long time, has heard a lot of rumors, and has come into contact with people from all walks of life. She realizes that this man has an abusive desire for both sexes. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a pile of things on the table in the distance, most of which she had never heard of, but there was one thing she knewβ€”it was a horsetail whip.

Fear fluttered in her heart like ice. But I don't know what the road is for, but Xiangye didn't cry out of fear and weakness.

"Very good looks. Carl cupped her chin hard. "It looks like you're going to be hard to conquer? No, you're going to give in, fear and pain will make you do it. I will give you fear and pain far beyond what you can bear. Until the last wisp of courage to resist is gone. You will be left to my mercy, and any command I give you will be an unchangeable will......"

He paused, letting out a laugh of unknown meaning, but the laughter was chilling to the teeth.

"Normally, I should say that, right? But my aesthetic is that women laugh better than cry. I can force you to laugh, but a forced smile is no different from crying. So," Carl walked back, picked up a small bottle from the table on the side, and if you looked closely, you would see that the bottle was all in one piece, and there was no opening at all. Inside the bottle is a clear liquid. "In order to solve this contradiction, I specially prepared this thing. ”

"This thing. Karl carefully examined the object in his hand, and the malice in his voice was almost condensed. "For me, it's just a booster, with almost no side effects, let alone after-effects. But it's not that simple for ordinary humans...... It will make you very sensitive and excited...... Until the brain burns out ......"

"Don't ......" Xiangye finally couldn't hold back the fear in her heart and let out a cry.
