The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 366: Stoke's pursuers

Views:

The spell that Perro just taught Irene was the Pure Heart Technique, which can use sacred energy to dispel evil thoughts in the heart of the recipient. And it was because Alpacino fell under Irene's mind-clearing spell that all his evil thoughts stemming from the stimulation of the scene were completely dissipated.

When he came to his senses, Alpacino couldn't help but be shocked by what he had just done. He hesitantly stretched out his hand, trying to explain: "Listen to me, Eileen, things are not what you think... I..."

Erin didn't speak, a few tears of disappointment and sadness flashed in her eyes.

"Irene, I won't hurt you!" Alpacino couldn't help but become a little anxious when he saw Irene's expression. He was now filled with regret and contempt. What kind of shameless person could do that to her? Things are coming! Have you ever said shamelessly that your feelings for Irene are pure and innocent? But open your eyes and take a look! What have you done! You broke her heart! You broke the heart of the girl you love the most!

Alpacino wanted to beg Irene for forgiveness. He stood up and walked towards Irene.

"Don't come here!" Erin backed away in horror.

"No! Irene, I won't hurt you!" Alpacino quickly assumed a non-threatening posture.

"..." Irene was silent for a moment. Although she still didn't want to hurt anyone, in a short period of time, she still couldn't find the courage to believe Alpacino who had just betrayed her. She shook her head, and then exhausted her will before saying to Alpacino: "I... I don't believe you."

When Alpacino heard this sentence, his face turned pale.

He knew Eileen's character very well, and he could make her say such things that she didn't believe. It seemed that he... really broke her heart...

Irene felt a little unbearable when she saw Alpacino's pale face. But what just happened still frightened her. Although Pero saved her once, Irene couldn't guarantee that she would save her a second time.

The reason why Irene did not leave immediately was because she wanted to confirm whether Alpacino had been seriously injured due to the Pure Heart Technique just now. Now it seems that he is fine. After feeling relieved, Eileen naturally didn't want to stay in this place anymore. She gave Alpacino one last look, and then prepared to leave alone.

"Wait!" Alpacino shouted quickly.

Irene couldn't help but tremble when she heard Alpacino's voice. Is Alpacino really planning to pounce again? Why did he become like this

But the fact was beyond Irene's expectation, Alpacino did not approach Irene again. He sighed and said, "Are you leaving?"

"Yes. I'm looking for brother Regnar..." Irene doesn't lie, and she doesn't like to ignore people.

"..." A few minutes ago, when Alpacino heard this name, he only had anger and unwillingness in his mind, but now, he only has regret and shame in his heart. Alpacino opened his mouth, and then reluctantly said: "Can I go with you? I promise that nothing like this will happen again. I will protect you!"

"..." Irene couldn't tell whether what Alpacino said was true or false, but Alpacino's crazy look just now still lingered in her mind. So Irene really didn't dare to trust him anymore. She couldn't bear to refuse, but she didn't dare to agree. So this time, Eileen rarely chose to remain silent.

"I understand..." Alpacino showed an extremely bitter smile. Yes, who would want to go with a gangster who just tried to rape him? He didn't do any more persuasion, he just took out the space pocket that Nancy gave him: "Take this with you, it contains the daily necessities you need."

"..." Irene hesitated for a moment, but did not step forward to take Alpacino's space pocket.

Alpacino grinned at himself again, then placed the space bag on the ground and took a few steps back.

Erin then slowly came closer like a kitten trying to get close to a stranger. She looked down at the space pocket, then picked up a stone from beside her and threw it into it.

Alpacino couldn't help but grinned when he saw Irene's movements. He stepped back again, leaving enough space for Irene, and then nodded to Irene who was looking at him: "Although I hurt you before, But please trust me at least this time!"

"..." Eileen hesitated for a moment, and then carefully picked up the space pocket. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Erin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your teacher knocked you unconscious with anesthetics, and I left Fortress Costa with you on my back. When I left, Fortress Costa was already full of Stoker soldiers." Alpacino explained.

"What about the teacher?" Eileen couldn't help but worry.

"Ms. Nancy will be fine. Don't forget, she is one of the few top doctors on the continent! People from Stoke are reluctant to hurt her." Alpacino gave Irene an encouraging smile: "It's just that she was a little worried about you, so she asked me to send you to the rear."

"Really..." Erin's eyes were a little dim. She had some bad premonitions, but now she didn't know her location at all, so it was naturally impossible to get back to Costa Fortress.

"Follow this road and go in that direction, and you will enter the hinterland of the empire. After walking for about a day, you should be safe." Alpacino seemed to see Irene's confusion, so he finally He warned: "You should be careful when you are alone. That space pocket is very valuable. Don't expose it to others casually to prevent others from having evil intentions."

"I will." Irene nodded gently, and then said: "I'm sorry, Brother Alpacino, I... I'm really..."

"I should be the one who should say I'm sorry, right?" Alpacino showed a self-blaming smile: "I'm sorry for you. It's natural that you don't believe me now. You don't have to feel guilty. .”

"..." Irene nodded to Alpacino, and then said: "Then, I'm leaving."

"Irene..." Alpacino stopped her again.

"Is there anything else?" Erin turned her head nervously.

"..." Alpachino paused, and then said: "Maybe I am not qualified to say such words now, but maybe this is the last time we meet. So, I still want to say, I like you, I really like you. .I know I'm not worthy of you, and I also know that the person you like is Regnar, but at least I don't want to let myself stay in silence like this. If I tell you this, I will feel better. .”

"..." Irene was silent for a moment, and then she nodded seriously to Alpacino: "I'm sorry... Brother Alpacino."

"Come on, you still have a long way to go!" Alpacino smiled: "If you encounter danger, you might as well try to use your magic. Speaking of which, you should be much more powerful than me! "

"I will. Goodbye, Brother Alpacino." Irene nodded, and finally turned and left.

Alpacino stared blankly in the direction Irene left. It took a full hour for him to come back to his senses.

"For her, you became a deserter..." Alpacino smiled. At that time, the Costa Fortress was in chaos, and all the troops were recruiting their subordinates, but Alpacino ran away alone with Irene on his back. On the way.

He was definitely guilty of escaping in battle, but no matter what, Alpacino had no regrets. At least he allowed Irene to return to Regnar safely. At least he did such excessive things to Irene, and Irene still forgave him. For such a girl, Alpacino is willing to give up everything he has!

But now, after it was all over, Alpacino didn't know where to go. Let’s go back to Fortress Costa! After all, he is a warrior, and the territory of the empire is still waiting for him to defend. Although he escaped, he at least chose to return at the last moment. Even if he was facing the trial of the Hawke Empire, he still had to choose to go back! Alpacino still has the courage!

He quickly ran towards the fortress, and then a cavalry team of about twenty people appeared directly in front of him.

"Soldiers of the Stoker Empire?!" Alpacino was horrified. He subconsciously made a fighting stance, and then he realized that he had never taken off the casual clothes he was wearing today. Although the Stoker people were a bit cruel, But it’s not like you’re going to massacre civilians when you see them, right

Therefore, he hid on the side of the road with a look of fear, and then hoped that they would ignore him.

Sure enough, the Stoke people didn't seem to have much interest in ordinary people like themselves. Without even looking at him, they galloped past on horseback.

"Okay, okay..." Alpacino breathed a sigh of relief.

But just when he was about to continue on his way, the Stoke cavalry turned back again.

"Hey! Have you ever seen a woman with silver hair and a severely burned face? She looks about sixteen or seventeen years old!" A Stoke cavalry asked Alpacino.

"!!!!!!" Alpacino couldn't help being frightened when he heard the Stoker's inquiry. Could it be that these people are here to hunt down Irene? !

For a moment, Alpacino had an idea. He nodded affirmatively, and then pointed in a random direction: "I've seen it, I've seen it. An hour ago, I remember she ran in that direction!"

"That direction?!" The Stoke Empire soldiers couldn't help but froze, and they muttered: "What the hell, Ms. Taylor's divination is directed towards this road!"

"Divination is not accurate every time, otherwise it would not be divination, but prediction!" Tai Lei, with a wrinkled face, said, "So, what this young man said is probably correct."

"Ms. Taylor, what do you think should be done now?" Soldier Stoker asked.

"Split the troops into two groups!" Tai Lei replied: "You take a group of people there, and I will take them to continue following the original path. I heard that although the little girl is a priest of more than ten levels, she does not have any With her fighting ability, even an ordinary adult man can subdue her. Our troops are divided into two groups. As long as we don't encounter the Hawke Empire's army, there will be no danger."
