Swish, swish, swish, a rushing sound sounded in the woods. Although Beta was holding a girl, he was running a minute faster than the empty-handed Roland.
If Roland hadn't been chasing him desperately, he would have been far away.
But even so, by the time the two came out of the woods, Beta had already left him nearly a hundred meters away.
But when he arrived at the city, Beta stopped. He kept panting on the spot. Because of the curfew, the city gate was closed and he couldn't get in.
Roland then caught up. He didn't bother to wipe the sweat, and put his hand between the girl's nose. He could still feel the faint breath. He breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the closed city gate and frowned.
"The door... won't open!" Beta gasped, with a look of worry on his face: "What should I do!"
He also saw that this girl was in critical condition now. If she could be treated earlier, her chance of survival would be much higher.
The soldiers on the city wall looked at Roland and Beta with some nervousness.
Under the city wall, there were caravans or travelers who had not had time to enter the city. Such people appeared every day. They looked at these two young men who were suspected of being important figures in surprise.
I don’t understand why one of them is holding a naked girl.
Some bad associations formed in their minds, but no one stood up to take justice. Instead, they looked away as if they didn't see anything.
"Open the door." Roland shouted to the soldiers on the wall: "There is a girl here who is about to die. She must receive medical treatment immediately."
The soldiers on the city wall did indeed see the girl in Beta's arms through the light of the fire, but they glanced at each other, shook their heads, and said nothing.
"It's really at stake. I know you have a rule that you can't open the door at night, but why can't you make an exception? At least open the door a crack and let one of us send the girl in."
Roland's shouts drifted away in the night wind, but the soldiers remained unmoved.
The dozens of merchants and travelers under the city wall breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Roland's words.
Two nobles who are willing to save people should not be bad people.
Roland waited for a while, but still saw no reaction from the soldiers above, so he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Beta looked at the girl in his arms. He turned to Beta and said, "Why don't you break in by force?"
Although the words were not loud, they carried quite far in the quiet night.
The expressions of the soldiers on the city wall immediately changed, and many of them had their hands on their weapons.
But the person who spoke seemed to be a noble, so they didn't do anything drastic.
If this were said by a businessman or an ordinary traveler, the situation would be different.
Maybe he had been killed by a hail of arrows.
"I'll try again." As Roland said, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered what Gru said, so he shouted: "We are the Sons of Gold, and we are only here to save people. You should have heard of it. It was about the Son of Gold some time ago. If you don’t want to be resented by us, just open the door. If no one of you can make the decision, just convey the message directly to your commander. I think your commander should be on the city wall."
Son of gold!
The soldiers on the city wall looked at each other. As soldiers, they naturally heard about the conflict between two golden sons and a powerful nobleman some time ago.
They don't have the guts to offend the kind of monster that can be resurrected after being killed.
"I'll give you five minutes. If we can't get a result in five minutes, we will force our way in. Don't blame us for being too ruthless."
At this time, Roland was already surrounded by four balls of light. But in order to enhance his persuasiveness, he used his mental power to throw a small blue fireball directly into the uninhabited area behind him.
In full view of everyone, the small fireball flew more than a hundred meters before exploding.
A black pit with a depth of two meters and a radius of about three meters was directly caused, and there were also balls of fire burning on the ground.
Such power can indeed blow up half of the city gate.
Everyone who saw this scene broke out in cold sweat. Magic is too scary for them.
At this time, a young man who looked like an officer finally appeared on the city wall. He looked at Roland, then at Beta, and asked expressionlessly: "How do you prove that you are the sons of gold?"
"How about I die once to show you!" Roland sneered: "Of course, after my resurrection, the first thing I do is to come back and kill you, one life for another, how about that?"
The young officer felt a toothache and wanted to trade his life with a monster that could be resurrected.
"Okay, you can come in!" the officer shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Open a small gap for them, and at the same time, the archers are ready. Except for the two golden sons, if anyone else dares to break in, they will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing this, Roland and Beta both breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, the city gate made a dull creaking sound and opened a small opening. Beta and Roland stepped in. Roland grabbed a soldier who was responsible for opening the door and asked, "Which direction is the Temple of Life?"
"Northeast City!" As the soldier spoke, he looked at the girl in Beta's arms and suddenly screamed: "Isn't this Lisa from the old Center family? What happened to her... Forget it, I'll take you there."
The soldier hurriedly said to his colleagues: "You are responsible for closing the door. I will take you two to the Temple of Life."
After saying this, the soldier dropped his weapon and ran forward.
Beta and Roland immediately followed.
Because of the curfew, there were almost no pedestrians on the street. The only people I saw occasionally were nobles traveling in carriages.
Nobles are not affected by the curfew.
The three of them ran very fast, their footsteps echoing in the street, sounding like the sound of falling rain.
About ten minutes later, the three of them ran to a huge church.
The gray-brown door was closed tightly, but yellow candlelight shone through the cracks at the bottom of the door.
The soldier rushed forward and banged on the door, and Roland followed suit.
Beta put her hand on the girl's nose to try it, and shouted urgently: "It seems that she is out of breath, but her body is still a little warm."
Hold!
Roland was furious and was about to shoot a small fireball self-destruction at the door, but at this moment the door finally opened.
A middle-aged priest wearing a white robe opened the door with a gloomy face. He was about to get angry, but when he saw Roland and Beta, his anger was half gone. Then he looked at the body that looked like a corpse in Beta's arms. The girl, all his anger disappeared, waved her hand and shouted: "Come in quickly!"
Several people rushed into the church, and the middle-aged priest shouted: "Put her on the altar."
Beta followed the instructions and placed the girl on the stone front in the middle of the prayer hall.
The middle-aged priest quickly stood in front of the stone platform and recited a spell.
A ball of light green light formed in front of him, then slowly fell down and submerged into the girl's body.
The blood pool on the girl's left chest began to grow granulation. The wound was gradually healing, and her face seemed to be starting to turn red.
Then the middle-aged pastor turned around, stretched out his hand to Beta, and said, "Chenghui, two gold coins."
I go! So expensive? Roland was stunned.
