Chapter 18: Dogs
But the moment Cabeamia collided with Gawain, she quickly snatched the Sword of Phosphorus Fire from the buckle of his belt, and then when several servants rushed over to deal with the situation, "Don't! At Gawain's shout, Cabeamia gritted her teeth and screamed, and with her backhand, she swung her sword and slashed the necks of the two slaves who came close.
The whole courtyard was then filled with the sound of ghosts crying, and the dark flames were rising and dancing, and the generals, the grand dukes, and the nobles all lost their calm and calm demeanor, and they were so frightened that they were so frightened that they saw that the people who had been killed by the sword were emitting such a color of fire in their bodies, and some of them ran behind the stone pillars of the enclosure, some climbed towards the city wall, and some fell directly to the ground and trembled.
"Stop me, bastard!" Theognes danced his lasso and strode up to him.
"Stop!" Although Gawain's hands were tied, he could not lose the magical sword, he was the only one who was the true master, no-he had uttered this phrase in pure Greek, and this ability came from the genes of several slaves who had just been killed by Kabeamia--and together with Peter, he quickly rushed out with Kabeamia.
As a result, in the entire Caesar's mansion, most of the people scattered and fled, or did not dare to move on their stomachs, as if they had seen the devil appear, only these four people, you chased me, and directly crossed the door. Cabeamia held the sword in her hand, and kept looking back, running nimbly, she knew the way she came, and when Gawain and Peter chased him to the doorstep, they saw that the snobbish doorman had been reduced to a corpse with emitting embers, lying there.
"Over there!" Gawain's ability to absorb the Zahath Falcon had not yet completely dissipated, and he quickly saw the open ground in the depression to the west of the mansion, where many merchants and citizens gathered, and Kabeamia, barefoot and sword-wielding, was running wildly, shuttling through colorful tents and workshops, and Gawain also chased after him, and Peter, although he was very old, was no less skilled than a young man, which benefited from his years of ascetic asceticism.
Her breath was exhausted, the faces in front of her face staggered and passed quickly, Kabeamia felt that she was getting more and more unable to support it, she was a woman after all, and she was still holding a sword that was very heavy for her, and it was a cursed sword, she had seen with her own eyes how Gawain used this sword to easily slaughter Norman knights like a devil, so soon she was tired and panicked, and she realized that the owner of this demonic sword in her hand was only Gawain and not her.
She'll have to use her wits to win this match, after all, her goal isn't to capture the Sword of Phosphorus Fire, it's just to get out!
"Ahh When Gawain heard this shout and saw Kabeamiya in front of him stop and plunge his sword into a hapless black dog watching on the side of the road, he also shouted angrily to stop it, and Gawain remembered what Adam had said, then this sword will be soon
In front of the butcher's shop, Cabeamia stood there wheezing with her sword on her shoulder, her pink feet were grinding out blood, and the slain dog was still letting out a low cry, and small blue flames were sticking out from its mouth, and the butcher lay on the back of the chopping board, frightened - and Gawain and Peter stood about half an arrow away from Kabeamia with their hands raised, also panting, "Hand over the sword, quickly." ”
Cabeamia stepped back, then grabbed a piece of meat from the chopping board and "swished" towards the top of Gawain's head and flew straight to the feet of Diognis.
Then the catcher saw a big shadow coming like the wind, dragging Peter, and picking up the piece of meat at his feet, which was Gawain, and the situation was like a dog chasing bones, which made him unbelievable!
"Just in time." The captor shouted angrily, and directly controlled Gawain with his chains, leaving him to struggle. Then the catcher, seeing that the monk had not abandoned his companions and escaped, and thinking that the pair must not have been unkind, relented, and loosened Gawain's chains, but the Cabeamia disappeared without a trace—Peter said, and she threw down her sword, and went into a monastery with high walls, and then disappeared, not knowing whether she had escaped into the monastery or had taken a detour.
So the warden and the two men stood in front of the monastery of which Peter had spoken, and after a long time an old man with gray hair, a very long beard, and a white robe embroidered with a black cross and a white background came out, "This is not a place where imperial soldiers are welcome, but places of retreat for those who are close to the Lord." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." It seems that the status of the dignified guard is not as good as the deacon of a monastery, Diognes hurriedly bowed and explained what happened just now, you must know that in the monasteries of the Byzantine Roman Empire, many of them are not simple roles, not only have a lot of real estate, but also have imperial giants as "secular protectors", and even many have golden edicts issued by the emperor himself, and have obtained unlimited privileges.
"Are you kidding? Your Excellency the Catcher. "We are here at the most famous monastery in Gallipoli, and not to mention that the local nobles, as well as the people of the Imperial City, often come to pay their respects, but we do our best to observe the precepts, not even women, but even female animals, cats and dogs, are forbidden to step into the fence of the monastery!" ”
Diognes was reprimanded by the robbery, but he could only resign himself, and involuntarily looked behind him and retreated, and the old man snorted twice, then turned around and closed the door.
Only the remnant sun was left, and there were tall and old courtyard walls, which lay in front of them.
In fact, Gawain clearly smelled it, and Kabeamia was hiding in the monastery.
If nothing else, just because the woman gave him the gift of "dog" just now, the animal lacks human spirituality, so the time for its genes to be maintained in Gawain's body is relatively short, but at this time the feeling is still very strong - Gawain smelled the smell and breath of Kabeamia, just behind the courtyard wall!
But Gawain was alert enough to control himself, and did not say anything to the catcher, for he was not sure whether Cabeamia had been sheltered by the convent or had managed to climb into it, but whether it was the former or the latter, it would cause a shaking chaos. Moreover, he and Kabeamia did not have any great enmity, and there was no need or obligation to report this to the captor, and besides, if you said, "My nose is like a dog, I can be sure that the female prisoner is here", not only did no normal person believe it, but he was afraid that he would be beaten to death immediately—anyway, the sword came back.
The captor was very discouraged, and he took the two men and hung the demon's sword on Gawain's waist again, and passed through the bazaar, and came to Caesar's mansion, only to find that a wooden fence had been placed in front of the door, and there stood the Isurian robed guards, with swords and axes, and they were murderous.
"Excuse me, has Caesar confirmed Bohemond's identity?" Seeing the Coptic deacon, the catcher cautiously asked.
