It was said that she took Shad to the top of the building, but in fact Miss Sylvia took Shad's hand and jumped directly out of the window. When Shad just felt the gravity pulling him down, he felt as if someone grabbed his hair and pulled him upwards.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness and the confusion of not being able to distinguish the direction of gravity made Xia De almost lose his balance when he landed on the ground the next second. Fortunately, the big witch next to him supported him in time.
The roof of an aristocratic manor house can even be used as a large open-air balcony because it sometimes has to fulfill some functional needs.
At this time, March was hanging high above our heads. Dark clouds floated in from nowhere, blocking most of the starry sky. The slightly cold wind in early winter blew on our bodies, making us shiver uncontrollably.
There was no gaslight on the roof of the mansion, but here, in the March light, the battle had begun.
Princess Margaret was indeed here, but she looked frightened and her face was pale. She stood there at a loss, holding her skirt.
In fact, there were six people fighting on both sides. One side was Mr. Bernhard and the extremely sturdy Viscount Ramadi. The two vampire nobles turned into a large group of blood-colored bats under the moonlight, and their companion was actually the middle-aged priest of the Peace Church who shook hands warmly with Mr. Bernhard at the banquet.
He stood in front of Princess Margaret with a serious face. The core spirit rune white dove on the life ring of the eight-ring warlock behind him glowed with spiritual light. Countless white doves flew out from the center of the rotating life ring continuously, and then exploded silently in the air. The power of each explosion was definitely not inferior to a complete steam cannon.
"The priest of the Peace Church summoned the white dove representing peace and used it as a bomb..."
Xia De found this scene extremely funny.
As for the other party fighting with them, Xia De had actually seen two of them. They were the two who had been chatting at the window of the banquet hall.
The lady in a black top and red bottom dress, who had won two special cards in the Rhodes card game, was holding a large book with a silver-white hard cover, with the life ring of a six-ring warlock behind her, and was doing her best to deal with Mr. Bernhardt's blood bats;
The gentleman who had chatted with her at the window was dressed like a scholar, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and the nine-ring warlock's life ring on his back revealed his identity;
The last one was a thin man without eyebrows. He stood behind his companions holding a brass box covered with water plants in his hands. He did not show his life ring, nor did he join the battle. Shade took a look at him and knew that he was just a low-level warlock.
“Stop!”
Seeing Xia De and Miss Sylvia suddenly appear, the lady holding the silver-white book suddenly changed her expression and retreated abruptly. The middle-aged gentleman with nine rings followed her to the back. He was obviously a high-level ring, but he seemed to be obeying the lady's orders.
Mr. Bernhardt and Viscount Ramadi also transformed from a group of bats back into human form and retreated to the side of the eight-ring warlock of the Peace Church. The vampires and the priest stood together, blocking the princess.
"Church priest, when did you become friends with the vampires?"
The woman holding the large silver-white book asked. She had put on light makeup because she was going to attend the party. She looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. There was a sharp look between her eyebrows and eyes, and she spoke with a very standard Carsenrick accent, which made people sigh that she should become an orator.
“They are my friends.”
The priest with a white dove perched on his shoulder said, his eyes sweeping across at the three people opposite him:
"Professor Jiuhuan of the Truth Society actually obeys your orders. Madam, which one of the Truth Society are you?"
The lady who spoke very clearly smiled and did not answer, but looked at Xia De and Miss Sylvia standing beside them. Of course, because of their disguises at this time, no one could recognize the two of them:
"First, we have no hostility towards Princess Margaret of Anjou and the Angevin royal family. This point must be emphasized clearly. The Truth Society did not violate the church's treaty and directly take action against members of the secular royal family."
She said very seriously, her eyes narrowed slightly, very bright:
"Second, the ones who took action in the banquet hall were from the Pantanal Voodoo Society. They are the ones who should bear the responsibility this time."
She looked down at the large book she was holding:
"Third, our goal is that Margaret of Anjou has something we want, but we don't know what it is. I wanted to ask her, but I didn't expect you to catch up so soon."
When Shad heard this, he looked at Princess Margaret, who was quite at a loss.
"Ms. Pavo, you're not going to fight anymore?"
The professor of the Nine Rings of the Truth Society asked in confusion. The lady called "Miss Pavo" shook her head slightly:
"My book just showed that our winning rate was 63%, but after these two appeared, our winning rate is less than 10%."
The two vampires and the priests of the Peace Church firmly protected Princess Margaret. The lady of the Truth Society looked at Miss Shade and Miss Sylvia:
"This tall lady, according to my book, is at least a twelve-ring warlock. None of us can defeat her in a one-on-one fight."
Miss Sylvia raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that the other party could see through the power of a witch other than the Ringwitch.
"This gentleman is even stranger. My book can't even analyze our chances of winning against him. It's as if his power is jumping back and forth between mortals and gods. Maybe we can defeat him easily, or maybe we die with our souls obliterated. I've never encountered such a situation before."
She looked at the priest of the Peace Church, the only "official" person here:
"Numbers don't lie, so this time, our mission failed, but we can always find another opportunity to talk to Princess Margaret alone in the future. By the way..."
She paused deliberately so that everyone could hear her voice clearly:
"Our purpose is just to talk to the princess, but we found the princess because the Blood Spirit School used the 'Puppet Manipulator's Notes' to divine that she has something important. The Blood-weeping Hermons was seriously injured in the Darkness of Tobesk, and he still holds a grudge against the church."
"You want us to cause trouble for the Pantanal Voodoo Coven and the Blood Spirit School?"
The priest asked loudly, and Miss Pavo smiled:
"I told you the truth. You should decide what to do. But numbers don't lie. I can guess your decision."
"Do you think you can leave safely?"
Miss Sylvia, who had been silent all this time, said, "Miss Pavo" shook her head slightly and said softly:
"The Truth Society spent so much money to hire the priests of the old god Furious Storm, holding their holy relic, the angel-level relic Furious Divine Punishment, to help us. Wasn't it just to be able to escape in the worst-case scenario? I always expect the worst."
"Ma'am, is it really okay for you to expose my situation like this?"
The eyebrowless man who was not involved in the battle and holding the box covered with waterweed asked in a muffled voice. He used the Dlarion language, and the accent seemed to be the accent of the Coldwater Port area on the west coast.
"There's nothing in the cooperation agreement that says it can't be disclosed."
Ms. Pavo, holding the book, said with a smile, and then gestured to the cultists:
"Use this relic quickly, or none of us will be able to escape."
The dark clouds that floated in completely obscured the three moons at this moment. Darkness briefly enveloped the earth, and in this darkness, the ring sorcerers attacked almost at the same time.
The white dove standing on the shoulder of the priest of the Peace Church rushed towards the three people opposite at a speed that Shade could not distinguish with his eyes. Mr. Bernhard and Viscount Ramadi drew bloody arcs towards the enemy at the same time. The witch next to Shade stretched out her finger and gently drew it. With the sound of shattering glass, the space on the roof of the mansion seemed to be completely shattered. This also showed that the witch was fighting hard at this time.
But all these attacks were ineffective.
Squeak~
A kind of soul-shattering power appeared in this small space at this moment. Everyone's movements froze in place, the flying white doves and the blood-red arcs of light naturally melted away, and the shattered space returned to its original state as if time and space were flowing backwards.
Shade felt that his breathing had stagnated because of the oppressive feeling that seemed to come from the sky. He could only feel that in the silence, the dark clouds above his head passed by the moon, and then the moonlight fell again, illuminating the box held by the priest of the evil god's furious storm.
In the hand of the eyebrowless man, a brass box covered with water plants was slowly opening. The golden light that burst out even made the two people from the Truth Society freeze in place for a short time.
That great power only flashed by, but at this moment, with Rothschild Manor as the center, everyone could see that dark clouds quickly covered the entire night sky, obscuring the starry sky and the three bright moons.
An extremely powerful sense of mental oppression swept across the rooftop, forcing everyone, including Miss Sylvia, to take a step back.
The storm came from nowhere, and in the depths of the long night, a huge shadow suddenly stood on the horizon. They all heard the sound of the waves, and the rage and roar that represented nature.
In just a moment, the lid of the brass box was completely opened, and the vampire, the priest, Shade, Miss Sylvia and Princess Margaret all felt at the same time that something was locking onto them in the dark night sky.
“Go!”
The nine-ring "professor" of the Truth Society pulled his two companions and jumped off the roof as if escaping for his life.
"careful!"
The witch shouted this sentence instinctively, and leaped to the sky to stop the thunder that was about to fall, but at this moment she was surprised to find that her movements were so slow. When the angel-level relic (level 1) was opened, it not only summoned thunder, but also some higher-dimensional power, which condensed space and time together. The six people left on the roof watched the lightning flash in the dark clouds, and the surging thunder gathered right above their heads.
The furious punishment of God is coming, a force that even the great witch dare not face.
The light of the divine power formed a pure golden barrier above the head, and then a blood-red light also came up.
Emma Sylvia stared at the lightning in the clouds with wide eyes. She knew that these defenses were useless. She was about to use the power of space to forcibly deflect the attack that was not aimed at Princess Margaret, but at this moment she suddenly felt her hand being pinched by another warm hand and it hurt a little.
Turning to look at Xia De, I found that the handsome young gentleman was looking up at the night sky filled with thunder with an ecstatic look on his face:
"Could it be that..."
