When Akasha walked out of the room on the second floor, the soldiers who had been on guard at the corridor turned their backs to her, so with the help of the magic spell, she continued to walk down the stairs easily through the corridor. When she raised her head and noticed the sky outside, Akasha realized that it was already past midnight, so the entire first floor of the hotel was already empty.
Now that she had made up her mind, Akasha wanted to leave here immediately, but when she passed the bar, there were some sausages and bread on it, but she stopped in her tracks—the sound of "cuckoo" from her stomach made her swallow , but she has never been involved in a theft since she was a child, but she felt an unspeakable sense of guilt because of her inner thoughts, but thinking of her goal, she bit her lip and looked up at the two people unconsciously. Lou, took a deep breath, still stretched out his hands to hug the bread and sausages into his arms, and also put a cloak on the chair on his body, pushed open the door and ran out...
But after running for two or three steps, Akasha turned back suddenly, trotted to the back kitchen, picked up a boning knife, carved a few handwriting on the bar, and then heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and opened the door, her head was Hastily disappeared into the night without returning...
The silence of the hotel continued, until three hours later, the second shift of soldiers who came to watch the night did not notice anything unusual—
"What? Run away?"
Roddy, who had finally had a good sleep, was dumbfounded when he was woken up. He looked at Lu Ge who came to report the news with bloodshot eyes, and asked in surprise, "How did you run away? Was anyone injured?"
"No, the night watchmen are all asleep..."
Luge explained while taking Roddy to the first floor of the hotel, "I don't know why, but she still left this."
"What?"
Rody's mind was still muddled, and after waking up, he was confused and his thoughts were unclear. Seeing Luge pointing at the bar, he leaned over to take a look, and his expression suddenly became extremely astonished: "What the fuck... what the hell? statement?"
Soderol, who was also woken up, went downstairs wearing a crooked coat, and couldn't help being dumbfounded when he saw the handwriting on the bar.
"I'm really sorry, I need to borrow the cloak and food, and if I have the chance, I'll pay for it."
The handwriting carved on the tip of the knife seemed a little messy, but Luo Di and the others looked at each other because of this—
"Have you ever seen someone who steals something and writes an apology letter?"
"No…"
"never seen it…"
At this time, Carter ran over sleepily, and asked with a confused face: "Who, who, who ran away? Do you need to chase it?"
Rody opened his mouth to say something, but after pondering for a long time, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I guess he ran away long ago, and there's no point in chasing him."
He was both surprised and amused at the same time... How could he save such a treasure while saving a person? Just run away, take something and say you have to pay back the money, I really don't know how to describe this woman...
Thinking about it now, Rody realized that he still didn't know the name of this woman, but it didn't matter, after all, it was just a little less prestige, and there was really nothing else to lose.
He sat at the bar and took a glass of ale to quench his thirst. After drinking it, he couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to run away. He couldn't help but said to himself: "Why are you running away, I won't eat you..."
"I guess you think we are some kind of villains?"
Luge next to him touched his nose and muttered, "Captain, you tore her clothes or something..."
"Go away, that's for healing"
Luo Di blushed a little, and at this moment he also realized that he seemed to be taking people too seriously, so he immediately waved his hand and drove away: "Go back to sleep, go back to sleep, anyway, just get the broken spar, don't worry about anything else.
"If there is a chance, I really have to ask... Isn't it just taking off your clothes and wrapping it up?"
After yawning, Roddy rolled back on the bed and continued to sleep soundly.
"Ah-"
A few kilometers away, Akasha, who had quietly left Houlier City, sneezed. She immediately covered her mouth, and cautiously looked at the dark forest where the wind was blowing. Her plump body was wrapped in a large cloak, With fair fingers, she took out a sausage from her pocket, she hesitated for a moment, and then ate it in small bites.
"Going down this road, there should be towns..."
Although her memory is good, Akasha is not familiar with the territory of Efta. At this time, she only knows that she can stay away from those religious forces by walking north along the main road, but if she has any definite ideas, it is just to find a town , and live in seclusion...
She felt a little curious and inexplicable about those scouts in her heart, but at this time Akasha was not willing to hand over her fate to others. She remembered what the captain named Rody said, but there was something extra in her heart. A sense of gratitude—in any case, the fact that I can make such a decision now has something to do with his words.
Strengthening the faith in his heart, the pastor who left the "Viper Cross" embarked on the journey to the north, and gradually disappeared in the shadow of the forest.
September twenty-first.
The day after the Pagan incident, the "cleansing" of the city of Houllier was in full swing.
The remnants of the "Viper Cross" were basically arrested, including those who once belonged to Akasha—but as Rubens found out the real reason why the four cavalry teams were blocked, these people were not sent to the stake Instead, he had the opportunity to "abandon the dark and turn to the bright", and was assigned to copy the teachings to hard labor.
As for the other heretics who came to besiege with "Snake Tooth" Gallup, Rubens sentenced them all to death without mercy. "Cross" provocative response—as for "Snake Tooth" Gallup, the "Rose Cross" cut off his head and hung it directly in front of the largest south gate of Houlier City, announcing the fate of "heretics" .
Don't think that religion is benevolent. In fact, when it touches on the fundamental interests, even the "Rose Cross" that teaches people to be kind will also expose its cruel and bloody side—so under such measures, the city of Houllier The original atmosphere quickly calmed down from the turmoil brought about by the "infidel attack". Although some people were still panicking, there were no other people who dared to make trouble on the surface. Everything seemed to have recovered normal…
It's just that under the "stable" surface, there will always be some undercurrents surging quietly.
Mel is the most inconspicuous maid in the Duke's mansion—she is 27 years old and has served the family for ten years. In the eyes of everyone, she is the kind of honest, conscientious woman who belongs to others. An "old maid" who would shyly run away after saying a few nasty words.
But all of these are just "appearances".
When he returned to his humble dormitory alone after finishing the cleaning work in the early morning, Mel would change his timid and slightly cautious expression... At this time, the gray pupils and indifferent expression , all explaining her original identity—undead.
After Alpha was killed by Rody, a big cleansing was carried out in the Duke's mansion immediately. Fortunately... Mel's body after "special transformation" made him no different from ordinary people, so the "internal cleansing" carried out by the Duke did not She was not found out, so Mel directly became the only remaining "eyeliner" of the undead in the Duke's mansion, and even now took over the former Alpha and became a subordinate directly under the command of "Master Ansardin".
Over the past few days, Mel has been extremely careful to pass all the news to the distant undead Tasman kingdom, and today, she finally got a secret response from Lord Ansadin at the market.
When the sky just brightened outside the window, Mel, who was hiding in the dormitory, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he gently turned out the letter paper received at the market, and whispered the secret words on it Deciphered content—
"...There have been new breakthroughs in the research of potions, the Luciferon family's plan can be abandoned...
"But those who kill Alpha will definitely pay the price. The newly dispatched team will arrive in Houlier City on the 26th, and you need to meet up and prepare for the follow-up..."
"...the Luciferon family, must disappear"
"Keep in touch, confirm the movement..."
When a sentence was read out, the coldness and anger contained in it even made Mel tremble. She knew how much effort that Lord Ansardin had put into the previous plan, and all the hard work was wiped out in an instant. The feeling of drifting is definitely an unbearable failure for him—you can tell from the contents of the letter that this lord has already dispatched elite soldiers of the undead, and will enter Houllier City five days later
Usually, this means that Master Ansardin will use simple and crude means to solve the problem.
Although Mel is stronger than ordinary people, she can't intervene in such things after all. She knows the strength of the two knights beside the Duke, and her role here can only be to pass on information and confirm that those undead killers are safe...
After putting away the letters, Mel put on a brand new maid outfit, trimmed the long hair that had stopped growing a long time ago, and was about to go out to start today's house cleaning work, when another maid came in from the outside , said: "Mel, the Duke ordered us to tidy up Miss Sally's room, come here immediately."
"OK."
She nodded, picked up the tools for cleaning, and walked out of the house.
At the same moment, the monastery of the "Rosie Crocied".
Because yesterday's battle caused a large number of casualties, the appeasement and aftermath work at this time is in full swing. The priests were busy with healing and burying the dead, while the nuns and monks kept chanting prayers to let the dead rest in peace. The crying and crying of the family members of the believers continued from last night until now, and it finally calmed down at this time.
Archbishop Rubens was in a very complicated mood. After writing more than a dozen letters all night, he was walking among the flower beds of the monastery after a sleepless night.
"Busy things have to be done one by one. Let's go and have a rest today. I've already had the bed made up, Rubens. I'll just block the rest of the things."
Benjamin, who had also been busy all night, came over and greeted Rubens—the two were old acquaintances, so they didn't use honorifics, so their tone was very casual.
"I'm getting older, and it's true that I can't bear it, but the time is a little tight, so naturally I have to hurry up."
Rubens sighed, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to have grown a little more because of staying up all night, his face was full of oldness, "This time I almost messed up the matter, thanks to the shooter and the Duke Knight, speaking of it, I’d better go to the Duke’s Mansion to thank them as soon as possible, if something like this happened, it’s still necessary to go to the door to thank them as soon as possible.”
