Anna ran very fast, but when she reached the back door of the Earl's Mansion, she slowed down.
This place is some distance away from the residence of the Holy Son, but there is a lot of noise due to the spell. Now the guard guarding the back door is also looking at it, scratching his head and ears with curiosity.
Seeing Anna coming over, the guard who had become somewhat familiar with her in the past month asked her: "Anna, what's going on over there? It's so noisy."
"Master Holy Son and Master Ulysses are fighting!" Anna looked panicked, "I'm going to find Father Louis to mediate!"
Hearing Anna's words, several guards couldn't help but exclaimed and became even more curious. However, what Anna had to do was too urgent. They couldn't hold her back and ask her more questions. Instead, they could only urge her to go faster. Go back, lest these two gentlemen demolish the Earl's Mansion.
After Anna went out, she went straight to Pomegranate Lane. She first ran to the ruins to find Dibian and explained the urgency of the current situation in one sentence: "The priest believes that I am a witch who seduces the Holy Son. I want to escape from the city immediately."
Dibian was startled, and then immediately said: "I'll go with you."
His injury has also healed a lot. During this period of time, it was Anna's help that allowed him to recover comfortably. If she leaves, no one will give him food and drink, and there is no point in him staying here.
Moreover, how could he watch her escape alone
Anna's next sentence was: "I'm going to take my family with me... If you go with us, we will drag you down."
Dibian shook his head: "It doesn't matter, we are friends, what kind of drag is this? And it doesn't matter who is dragging whom."
Anna smiled. Among the many people she met, Dibian was the most reliable.
"Okay, then hurry up and clean up, I'll go find my family!" Time was running out, and Anna didn't have much time to feel sad, so she hurried back to her home.
The house was very peaceful. When they saw Anna coming home, Adele and little Evan both rushed over and hugged Anna's legs.
Ana quickly bent over and pulled the two of them apart: "I'm in a hurry, you guys give way first."
After she got rid of the two little guys, she ran into Evan and Guy's bedroom. Guy was doing handicrafts. When she saw Anna coming back during the day, there was a look of surprise on her face: "What's wrong, Anna?"
"Mom, it's too late, let me tell you something briefly!" Anna spoke very quickly, "I have been taking care of the Holy Son. As you know, today Father Louis identified me as the witch who seduced the Holy Son into corruption and wanted to kill me. !Mom, go find dad, let’s run away together!”
Guy listened to Anna's words with shock on his face and hesitated: "Anna, is there some misunderstanding? How could you be a witch?"
Anna said: "Mom, you and I both know that I am not, but Father Louis doesn't believe it. Time is running out. Let's leave quickly!"
Gay never imagined that one day while she was doing craft work in her home, her daughter would come running back to tell her that they were running away from the place where their family had lived for many years.
After being pulled by Anna for two steps, Guy pulled Anna back and said, "Anna, the goddess will not harm devout believers. You are not a witch, and the goddess will restore your innocence."
How could she accept that Guy had lived here for so many years and suddenly asked her to run away? Unlike Anna, she thought about various possibilities after being targeted by the devil.
Moreover, she is a devout believer and firmly believes that the goddess will restore Anna's innocence, so she is unwilling to leave.
Anna paused, turned around and shouted to Guy: "Mom, the goddess does not exist at all, how can you prove my innocence? The Holy Son fought with the priest because of me, how could the priest believe that I am not a witch!"
"Anna, how could you say such a thing? How could you blaspheme the goddess!" Guy looked at Anna in disbelief. It was obvious that Anna had never expressed such a terrible idea before!
Anna looked at Guy's expression and knew that it was impossible for her to convince her to go with her.
Her family are all devout believers, but she is a pagan.
Evan and Guy are both good parents, but in their hearts, the status of the goddess is more important.
"Mom, even if I die if I stay, do you still want me to stay and be judged by the goddess?" Anna asked Guy with red eyes.
Guy looked at Anna blankly and murmured: "The goddess is kind, she will protect every one of our devout believers..."
Anna suddenly picked up the clay pot on the table and smashed it on Guy's head.
The clay pot shattered, and Guy fell to the ground with a scream. Adele and little Evan, who were hiding in the corner and watching Anna and Guy quarreling, didn't know what was happening, and they were all so frightened that they burst into tears.
Because he controlled his strength, there wasn't much blood on Guy's forehead. Anna only took a glance and went to her bedroom. In addition to packing two pieces of clothes, she also took out all the coins she had saved and hid.
Then, she opened her palms and imagined the condensation circuit, and a small flame appeared in her palms. She burned her bedding with a flame and saw the fire spread quickly before she walked out of the bedroom.
Anna couldn't help but smile bitterly when she thought that the first time she used magic in practice was to set fire to her own home.
When Anna came out, Guy was still lying on the ground due to dizziness, and Adele and little Evan were crying around her.
Seeing her come out, little Evan rushed over, punched Anna's leg with his little fist, and cried: "Anna, bad!"
Anna held little Evan's fist and pushed him to Adele. Like little Evan, Adele looked at her with strange and confused eyes.
Anna helped Guy up and led her dazedly outside the house. Most people in Pomegranate Lane are working at the moment, and there is no one outside.
Anna put Guy on the ground, stuffed the three gold coins she had saved into her arms, and said in her ear with tears: "Mom, I helped Master Parrish with these three gold coins, and he gave them to me quietly. , no one else knows, hide it, don’t let anyone take it away. I’m sorry, I have to do this, so that they will believe that you are not the same as me. After the house is burned down, find someone who no one knows Let’s live in your place. If I have a chance, I will definitely come back to see you again in the future, I promise.”
Seeing that Adele and little Evan had followed them out, and there was already smoke coming out of the room, Anna said harshly to Adele: "Adele, don't ask people to put out the fire, you know!"
Anna knew that Adele was a smart little girl, and she said this deliberately to remind Adele to find someone to put out the fire, and not to implicate the houses of the people around her.
Then, Anna left without looking back.
In fact, she knew from the very beginning that it was unrealistic to take her family members to escape with her. She couldn't escape with her family behind her.
But how could she ignore them and just run away
Even if there was little hope, she still wanted to try.
However, Guy's reaction made her wake up from her fantasy. Rather than taking them on a dangerous journey with no future, it is better to draw clear boundaries with them so that they can live in peace.
Therefore, she deliberately injured Guy and burned down the family's house, just to let the people in the Holy See know that she and her family were not the same group. Once she escapes, there will inevitably be rumors in Pomegranate Lane. Therefore, it is the best choice for her family to find another place to live after losing their house.
Anna returned to the ruins. Dibian did not see her family behind Anna, and her eyes were still red. He quickly understood something.
"They won't leave, let's leave quickly." Anna said, after some delay, she was very anxious.
DiBian was not a squeamish person either. He covered his face with a hood. Although this is very eye-catching, there is nothing you can do about it. If he takes off his hood, the dark lines on his face will be even more eye-catching.
The two of them walked down a remote alley and soon arrived at the city gate.
Anna had hardly been here since she traveled through time. She and Dibian observed it for a while and were relieved when they saw that the soldiers guarding the city gate and the civilians who were entering and leaving were just leaning lazily, and the civilians who were coming in and out were too lazy to take a second look.
But to be on the safe side, she made Dibian bend over like an old man and taught him to cough while walking, while she held his arm as if he were the old man's little granddaughter.
This can explain why he wears such clothes that cover his whole body. It's because he is sick, and most people are always afraid to avoid sick people. In this world, being sick is often equivalent to a death sentence. No one wants to be unlucky and infected. .
So, when Anna helped Dibian walk out of the city gate, there was a vacuum around them, and everyone avoided the two of them.
Anna thought that the matter at the Earl's Mansion was probably not over yet, so there was no movement at all now.
They can definitely escape!
The two left Blue Stone City safely. Outside Blue Stone City, it was a completely unfamiliar environment for Anna.
Dibian fled all the way to Blue Stone City and was much more familiar with the surrounding environment than Anna.
The two of them didn't say anything at first, they just kept their heads on their way. After leaving Blue Stone City, the closest thing to Blue Stone City were some scattered villages. It wasn't until they walked several miles away and entered a forest that the two of them stopped to rest temporarily.
"Dibian, I don't know anything about Bluestone City. Can you tell me about the situation?" The two of them were sitting under a tree. Anna's eyes were no longer red at this time. "For example, where are you going?" Escape in the right direction, do you have any ideas?"
At present, Anna only knows about the area outside Blue Stone City that it belongs to the Principality of Ingredients, and the nearest city with a mage association is called Green Pine City. There may be monsters in the environment outside the city, but she has never seen them with her own eyes. It seems that monsters will not attack the city.
"I made an agreement with my teacher that if we get separated, we will meet outside a village ten miles away from Black Feather City." Dibian said, "If we walk, we can walk there in about a month."
Dibian said and drew a very crude diagram on the ground. With the Holy See as the center, the Principality of Ingoli is to the south of the Holy See. Blue Stone City belongs to the south of the south and is located in the southwest of the Principality of Ingoli, not far from the border.
Black Feather City, to the west of Blue Stone City, is another territory of the Principality of France. These two principalities are adjacent, and their folk customs and customs are similar. Places like the Mage Association are similar in each principality, and organizations such as churches are uniformly dispatched by the Holy See.
After Anna left Blue Stone City, she was alone. She had no place to go. She could only go wherever Dibian went.
"Dibian, shall I follow you and your teacher from now on?" Anna asked.
Unexpectedly, Dibian hesitated for a moment before saying: "Ana, my teacher and I had a hard time hiding here and there. We both have pure dark physiques and have no other choice, but you are different. At least you are a pro of the fire element." And, you can enter the Mage Association to study openly. If it were the Principality of Frans, the priests of Blue Stone City would not have pursued him so far."
Anna looked disappointed, but Dibian was her friend and she didn't want to embarrass him. Thinking about it, she is a mage apprentice, and Dibian is a three-star mage. His teacher must be more powerful. If she follows them, she will be dragging them down.
Dibian saw Anna's expression and quickly explained: "Ana, I'm not dissing you..."
As he spoke, he quickly took out a small bag and handed it to Anna. Without looking at her, he said quickly in a low voice: "Here are fifteen gold coins... Then you can find a mage association to test and join the membership. These gold coins are not enough for your follow-up. Study, but with your talent, you can find a good teacher in the Mage Association, and your teacher will help you."
After hearing Dibian's words and looking at the small bag in his hand, Anna took it, took out six gold coins, and returned the rest to him.
Although most mages have money, the fallen mages on the run have another story. She was very familiar with this bag and suspected that Dibian only had this few gold coins. Of course she couldn't accept them all.
"I borrowed these six gold coins from you. You must come to me to pay you back in the future." Anna smiled at Dibian.
It doesn't matter if she is alone in the future. She is not really a seventeen-year-old girl. After graduating from college, she has been working alone in other places and has long been used to being alone.
It's just a return to how she was in the modern age, and she can accept it. Before that, she could still walk with Dibian for a while.
Besides, who knows what happened to that demon? Maybe he can still chase her and find her, then she really won't be alone at all...
Seeing that Anna easily accepted his idea, Dibian felt relieved and a little disappointed at the same time.
He actually knew very well that Anna was an extremely independent person, and he felt that even if she was thrown into a completely unfamiliar place, she would still be able to survive. That's why, after careful consideration, he would not let her hide around with him and the teacher in fear.
Although he was a little reluctant to let her go, he couldn't be too selfish. With her talent, studying normally in the Mage Association, being appreciated by a good teacher and embarking on a broad road is the future she should have.
Dibian smiled and nodded: "Okay, I will definitely find you. By then, you may have become a well-known genius mage."
Anna smiled sincerely and brightly, and said optimistically: "I think so too! When the time comes, you come to me, and I will protect you. No one can threaten you in my territory."
"Okay, that's the deal!" Dibian laughed heartily.
After laughing, Anna still couldn't help but think of the family members she had left behind. She didn't have time to tell DiBian what she had done before. After a brief explanation, she asked DiBian: "Over there at the church, Will I just let my family go?"
Dibian was a little amazed at Anna's decisiveness. He thought for a while and said: "The witch hunting now is not as serious as it was a few decades ago, and the harm usually does not affect the family. Your parents are devout believers, and you let the priest think that your mother is If you get hurt after blocking you, and you burn down your own home, I think not only will they not hurt them, but they will also reward them.”
Anna was relieved when she heard this, as long as nothing happened to her family.
They can always meet again in the future. As long as she became a great mage, how could Father Louis have the guts to point at her and call her a witch? As long as she lives, she and her family will definitely meet again one day.
After Anna's heart was completely relieved, she began to ask more about the world.
Of course Dubien won't hide anything.
In the tall tree canopy ten meters north of the two people who were having a pleasant conversation, Rotgar was standing on a thick trunk, looking coldly at the two people who were having a great conversation.
Ha, interesting, he really underestimated Anna, a cunning woman!
hours ago.
After accepting Anna's request and promise, Rotgar walked towards Father Louis and others with a happy mood that he was about to achieve his goal.
However, the Son's body was already mentally damaged. He finally recovered a little and fought with Ulysses again. He couldn't help but staggered after taking a few steps.
He endured the discomfort that made him want to vomit, raised his eyebrows and looked at Father Louis and others who became full of fighting spirit due to his state, and laughed sarcastically: "Why, you think I am injured, you ants Any chance?"
Rotgar raised his right hand, and white light slowly gathered in his palm. He suddenly grinned and rushed towards Father Louis.
Father Louis quickly grabbed his pendant staff, which was the same style as the Holy Son, and was able to block the attack when Lotgar came in front of him.
"Your Excellency Victor, please wake up, you are betraying the goddess!" Father Louis did not give up persuasion.
Of course Rotgar would not pay attention to such words. After the attack with one hand was blocked, he suddenly hit Father Louis with the other hand from bottom to top. Father Louis was immediately injured. Phew, the burning property of the light element is no joke.
But just when Rotgar was about to break Father Louis' neck, there was a sharp sound of wind approaching behind him. He threw away Father Louis and jumped to the side, only to see that Ulysses, who had been knocked down by him, stood up. Get up, the attack just now came from Ulysses.
Rotgar did not kill Ulysses before because he thought he would stay in the Earl's Mansion for a few more days. In order to avoid trouble, he did not kill him.
But now, with Anna's promise right in front of him, it doesn't matter if he kills a few more people.
As for the aftermath of the murder? Of course he doesn't care, and Anna...
Rotgar suddenly paused and looked around carefully.
Where is Anna
In Lotgar's mind, after Anna made such a sincere request, she should stand on the sidelines and watch him, waiting for him to kill these people and fulfill his promise.
And after that, he can get her promise to marry him and complete his goal.
But now, Anna is missing!
While Lotgar was busy looking for Anna, Ulysses would not miss such an opportunity, so what awakened Lotgar was the wind blade that brushed past his arm and took away a string of blood beads.
Rotgar suddenly looked at Ulysses with a cold expression.
Anna's matter can be left alone for now. She is very timid at this time. She must have found a place to hide. After he kills all these people, it will not be too late to find Anna.
However, just when Rotgar was about to fight back without hesitation, he suddenly felt a little hindered in controlling his body.
He wanted to raise his right hand, but it remained motionless.
Rotgar raised his eyebrows in surprise. How could this Victor still resist
Whether his possession ability can be used normally is closely related to the mental strength of the possessed party. During Victor's heyday, it was difficult for him to possess Victor.
But now, I don't know what stimulated Victor, and Victor began to resist.
Rotgar didn't like being in this body to begin with, and his boredom became even worse after Victor began to resist.
But he doesn't want to leave just yet. Anna's promise is still waiting for him to fulfill. She made a promise to the Holy Son. If he changes his body, her promise will no longer be valid.
However, Victor's resistance exceeded Rotgar's expectations and greatly affected his ability to act.
Ulysses and Father Louis soon noticed his "weakness" and attacked more fiercely.
After suffering some injuries, Rotgar's impatience has reached its peak, and Victor's sense of resistance has become so strong that he can no longer ignore it.
After scanning around again and seeing no trace of Anna, Rotgar stood still and a black figure slowly emerged from the Holy Son.
This sudden and strange turn of events shocked everyone.
When Father Louis and Ulysses were fighting Lotgar, the two owners of the Earl's Mansion, including Earl Wilson and Parrish, quickly found a place to hide and secretly watched the battle. The scene at this time naturally fell. When it caught their eyes, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, and fear of the unknown suddenly surged in their hearts.
After Lotgar came out of Victor's body, Victor fell to the ground. Without taking another glance at the somewhat dilapidated body, he unfolded his huge fleshy wings and slowly flew into the air.
"You are... a devil!" Father Louis exclaimed, holding his painful ribs, his face full of surprise and fear.
Rotgar was too lazy to pay attention to Father Louis, but looked around for Anna.
He finally noticed something was wrong.
What about the Anna people
Rotgar thought of a possibility almost instantly.
He flew higher and had a panoramic view of the entire Earl's Mansion, but still could not find any trace of Anna.
She actually ran away!
At this time, Rotgar thought that Anna ran away because of too much fear. He flew over Blue Stone City and quickly found the location of Pomegranate Alley.
Then he saw Anna leaving Pomegranate Alley and walking toward the city gate with a man who was wrapped up all over his body.
Rotgar was a little confused at first, but later, boundless anger overwhelmed him.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that everything Anna showed in front of him was probably all fake! She actually hid a man, and now she's running away with that man!
Before eloping, she even used him as a thug to buy her time!
Rotgar didn't know what kind of restraint he used to prevent himself from bursting out in anger and killing Anna on the spot. He followed them all the way and saw them walking out of the city and walking far away before stopping to rest in the woods.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Rotgar, who had calmed down, realized that he still misunderstood Anna and completely underestimated her.
What she showed in front of him was indeed not who she really was, but it wasn't what he thought she was either.
She completely deceived him, making him think that she was a cunning woman who was vain, ambitious, and wanted to be on top. But in fact, she secretly learned magic under his nose.
Looking at Anna's bright smile that had never been shown in front of him, Rotgar felt a surging anger burning in his chest.
good, very good!
