In the middle of the night, water vapor permeated the canal. In the dimness, two "gondolas" rowed across the water silently and headed towards the pier not far ahead.
"From now on, everyone must keep quiet! Do not speak or make loud noises."
Under the influence of the "group communication technique", Lord Rosa's low voice sounded in the ears of every apprentice, making everyone's faces more solemn.
The atmosphere was depressed and tense, and everyone's hearts were raised in their throats.
"As long as I pass the pier ahead, it's safe... But why do I feel uneasy in my heart?"
Victor looked solemnly at the faintly lit pier ahead, and raised his guard to the highest level.
The lights on the pier were getting closer, and Victor's anxiety became stronger and stronger.
When the two small boats where everyone was on sailed out of the canal and were about to pass through the simple locks connected to the sea at the pier, there was a rush of hoofs from far to near.
Perhaps sensing the danger, Lord Rosa hurriedly cast a spell, causing the "gondolas" under the apprentice to increase rapidly, and the "crushing" of the ship breaking the water also rang.
"My God is eternal!!"
Accompanied by neat and loud slogans, a team of about fifteen knights rushed out of the darkness, while a dazzling golden light illuminated the area near the ship lock, making Victor and others all revealed. .
"Here, my god is watching you, don't try to escape!"
A slightly hoarse voice sounded from the team of knights fast approaching the locks: "My God is tolerant! Only if you abandon evil and believe in my God, you can rejoin the embrace of God, and your sins will also be purified..."
"It's ridiculous! The brainwashing method of your eternal temple is still the same, and it hasn't changed at all in so many years..." Rosa's voice also rang: "A lie is a lie, and it will never become true! What our mage seeks It's'truth', not believing in the illusory god in your mouth."
"Shut up! Evil heresy, your soul has completely fallen! Prepare to accept the punishment of my god!!"
In these few words of effort, the black knight team has rushed to the vicinity of the lock, and the boat where Victor and others are located is still a certain distance from the lock.
"Crap! If we don't take any action, the lock will fall into the hands of the Knights of the Temple... In that case, we will be trapped here!"
Victor looked at the pale and fearful apprentices, and said loudly, "Everyone, we must prevent them from going to the ship lock! Otherwise, everyone will fall into the hands of the temple... You don't want to try to be purified. ?"
"If you want to survive, you must listen to my orders from now on!!"
Victor's calm performance allowed the nervous apprentices to find support and confidence, and calmed down a bit.
"Polisher, start fighting the auxiliary module!"
When Victor gave instructions to Ultrain, his vision immediately changed.
Wind speed, temperature, humidity, line-of-sight distance, light intensity, movement trajectory... All kinds of real-time data appear in Victor's eyes.
"Attention everyone, take the thunderstone in your hand, and prepare to cast the zero-ring spell'projectile'..."
"...Keep the cast angle upward, about 13.6 degrees..."
"The target of the attack is the open space 15 meters to the left of the ship lock..."
"Don't worry! Follow the usual steps for practicing spells... Hold steady..."
"Prepare... Let go!!"
With the help of the combat assist module, Victor predicted the movement trajectory of the knights. Through his command, the apprentices threw the thunderstone in their hands in less than five seconds.
At the same time, the ship where Rosa-sama was also shot a scarlet fireball, dragging its long tail, and slamming it against the black knight who rushed over.
"Contact magic!"
When the fireball was about to blast into the Cavaliers, a green light hit it.
Only a "pounce" sound was heard, and the fireball was like a balloon pierced by a needle. It turned into a little spark and disappeared into the air.
At this moment, the thunderstone "thrown" by Victor and others happened to fall into the team of the Cavaliers.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Although the successive roars did not have much destructive power, the sudden loud noise made the horses under the knights startled, causing their neat stormtroopers to become a mess.
"hateful!"
After the knights of the Inquisition reorganized their formation, the two small boats where Victor and others were in had successfully passed through the locks and sailed towards the sea.
"Master Mond, what should we do?" A black-robed knight asked in a low voice, "Should we conquer the ship and continue the pursuit?"
"You can try it, but don't waste too much energy!" The black-robed man in the center of the Cavaliers team said with his slightly hoarse voice: "There are more important things waiting for us to do..."
…
On the undulating sea, the two "gondolas" were tightly fixed together by Rosa using magic ropes to prevent the ships from being overturned by the waves.
"We are safe!!"
"I didn't expect that the lackeys of the temple weren't able to get close to us..."
"Thanks to Mr. Victor!"
"Yes! Without Mr. Victor, we are probably in the hands of the temple by now."
"..."
The apprentices sitting on the boat were venting their emotions loudly, cheering for their escape.
"Nice work! Victor." Rosa complimented: "The timing of your spells is amazing! Otherwise, they will definitely be intercepted by the people of the temple..."
"Your honor is too good! It's just my luck..."
Victor replied humbly: "If we fight the Cavaliers head-on, we are definitely not their opponents!"
"Lord Rosa, Mr. Victor, look! On the sea on the right front, there seems to be a four-masted sailboat..."
After hearing this voice, Rosa performed the "Eagle Eye Technique", and after careful observation for a while, he said, "Don't worry, everyone! This ship was sent by the Magic Society to pick us up..."
"Long live!!"
"Great! After we get on the boat, we can set off for Greenland!!!"
"..."
In the excitement of everyone, the "gondolas" they were riding stopped beside the four-masted sailing boat.
