Chapter 171: The Gift of Vengeance (Part 2)
"Evil!" Alicia took off her two-handed sword and stood in front of Mira.
"...Evil?" Her tone was cold and almost emotionless, "What are you who transport orphans and abandoned babies to monasteries to raise them and choose witches from them?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" the female warrior yelled, "The church took them in out of the mercy of the gods. If there were no monastery, how many of them would have survived to adulthood? However, the pervasive devil will always corrupt the weak-willed among them , leading a very small number of people astray, and once someone is found to have degenerated into a witch, the church will deal with it immediately. You have completely reversed cause and effect!"
When she heard the word "deal with", the witch's golden pupils instantly dimmed a lot. She raised her giant sword with one hand, "I'm not very interested in convincing a dead person, so let's do it."
Before the words fell, the owl spread its wings and flew up, and her figure had already rushed to the front. Alicia deeply remembered the tragedy of the teammate who was split with a sword, and instead of retreating, she rushed towards the lower right of the extraordinary In the swordsmanship training class, the instructor mentioned more than once that for those who are good at using the right hand, the lower right is the most difficult position to take care of. Because of the limited posture of holding the sword, it takes an extra half an hour to turn the direction of the blade. rest time.
Alicia pounced like a leopard to avoid the witch's straight slash. When passing by the opponent's side, she straightened her two-handed sword horizontally, trying to counterattack. But the Transcendent's reaction was astonishingly fast, and with a light jump, he easily avoided the sweep, and at the same time turned around and raised the giant sword.
Until this moment, Alicia hadn't even landed completely.
Everything was in a flash, and half of the calf flew into the sky with the blood. A tearing pain came from below her body, almost causing her to lose consciousness. Clenching her teeth instinctively, the female warrior didn't call out on the spot.
The gap is too big.
Only now did she understand how powerful Abrams was, who was able to fight a dozen swords against a supernatural being and buy herself a chance to escape.
Alicia struggled to turn over, just in time to see Mira take out a crossbow from her back wrap, and raised her hand to aim at the extraordinary witch who was focusing on herself.
This was the last chance, she realized, and maybe she could get her attention!
Just as the female warrior was about to say something, the giant sword swept past like a whirlwind. She felt her throat tighten, and then the world turned upside down... No, maybe she flew up, and she saw her body kneeling down weakly At the same time, I also saw an owl pounced on Mira, turned into a girl in mid-air, and smashed hard on the priest... His vision quickly blurred, and finally fell to the ground, falling into the boundless darkness .
...
"This damn stone goo!" Maggie complained, touching the bulging bump on her head, "You're too careless, if it wasn't for me, that crossbow bolt would have shot you!"
"Don't worry, I've noticed that it's just a quick decision." Ashes quickly dug a shallow pit with a big sword, dragged the two of them into the pit, and then covered it with soil to bury them. The God's Stone of Retaliation and the Golden Dragon were all in her pocket, so that she would have enough travel expenses to go to Port of Clear Water. She also found a letter from the woman wearing the priest's robe, and roughly browsed it. The main content was that if Roland Wimbledon, the lord of the Western Region, had not colluded with the witch, he would ask him to buy baby girls and orphans. Previously, the other party to this deal was the Duke of Lane. As long as underage women are within the scope of purchase, they can pay at the "market price" or use pills to offset the price.
After reading it, Ashes sneered, put the letter paper on the torch and lit it, and burned it completely.
"Come on, we still have a bunch of corpses to bury."
"Goo." Maggie turned back into an owl, and rushed to the first attack location with the ashes.
Digging, carrying, and burying people... Maggie couldn't help much with these physical tasks, and the broken limbs and the smell of blood made her a little dizzy, so she had to fall on the branch and watch the ashes busy. .
"Why do you do this, wouldn't it be bad if the church finds out?"
"It was two or three months later when they discovered that the envoys had disappeared," Ashes said while shoveling the soil. "Generally, the church sends envoys to investigate the witch incident. If the lord cooperates, it will last for more than a month, plus their return journey." The time is almost two or three months."
"But His Royal Highness will definitely not cooperate with them! Goo!"
"You'd better turn into a human form and talk to me," Ashes sighed, "If the lord allows the envoys to enter the town, the witches of the Aid Society will definitely expose that the envoys don't need to ask the prince himself, they only need to arrest the leaders You will know the answer if you come to torture him. Roland can either betray the witch and lie that all this has nothing to do with him, or he can only arrest them all. If the other party is prepared in advance, as long as one person escapes, Hermes will soon As you can see, they still carry carrier pigeons with them.”
"The pigeons can't see the way at night, I've caught them all," Maggie patted her bulging pockets, "We'll have one for each of us when they're roasted tomorrow."
Ashes shook her head secretly, she had never seen her catching birds to eat before, and she had only been in Border Town for a few days, and she had developed a strong interest in roasting birds. "If the church decides to send out the army, there is only about one month left for him. But now, as long as his luck is not too bad, he can have at least three more months... So, this is what I gave him gift, and my vengeance against the church."
"So that's how it is, as expected of Miss Ashes." Maggie praised.
There is still one thing that Ashes did not say. In this way, she is equivalent to making a decision for the prince. When the church finds out that the messenger group has lost contact, it will definitely blame Roland Wimbledon. If you betray the witch, there will be no chance.
When everything was tidied up, the sky was gradually turning white.
"Then, let's separate here." Ashes said.
"..." Maggie was stunned, "What?"
She touched the other person's small head, and squatted down, "You like Border Town, don't you? With Lightning and Wendy, you will definitely have a good time here."
"But..." The other party lowered his head with a look of hesitation, "I also like you and Lady Tilly."
"I don't want you to stay here forever," Ashes smiled, "Roland Wimbledon is different from Tilly, he is an ordinary noble after all, it is difficult to guarantee that he will always be on the witch's side. This is what I want to give Your task is to fly back once a month and tell us what happened in Border Town, and at the same time bring our news back to the witches of the Mutual Aid Society. In this way, the two sides can also establish a connection. If the town is in danger, You can also help them escape from Graycastle and go to the Fjords."
"Is that so?" Maggie blinked.
"That's it," she nodded, "I believe you can do it."
Seeing Maggie, who had turned into a dove and gradually disappeared into the morning light, Ashes got on his horse and headed towards Clear Water Port. (To be continued.
