Would a church member save a witch?

Joko unconsciously let go of the bacon and focused all his attention on Anne. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

They rushed out of the cage with the hero, and it was under the cover of these captives that she escaped the Church's arrest. After the war, the surviving warriors of the Judgment even sent her food and clothing for a while, and it was not until the army returned to Hermes that they said goodbye to the hero, and before leaving, all the warriors of the Judgment who had been in that cage came to thank her. ”

Yoko frowned, "But will the title of hero ......?"

"She's a hero," Anne said categorically, "no matter what the people she healed thought of her, she saved tens of thousands of people in Wolfheart, and saved my and Amy's lives." She deserves this title. ”

The ambassador couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that the pain suffered by this group of witches was much more cruel than he imagined, if he was treated like this, let alone believe in ordinary people, even if he regarded everyone as an enemy, it would be normal to kill them all.

The unhappiness of being suspicious of the other party gradually dissipated.

"Her legs...... Maybe there's a chance to recover. ”

"What, are you telling the truth?"

"How?"

All eyes were on Yoko, even the hero. Looking at her appearance, she may only be eighteen or nineteen years old, even if she has been devastated by the war, her eyes are still full of expectation, not numbness and dazedness.

"Ahem, I'm not sure either," Joko rubbed his nose, "Hill has mentioned that there are probably more than three hundred witches gathered in Grey Keep, and the power of the devil ...... No, I mean abilities are always weird, right? maybe someone can bring a severed limb back to life, or just conjure her up a new one. ”

"Three hundred?" Seventy-Six wondered, "How did the King of the Grey Keep recruit so many witches?"

"That's a long story, my old friend is a natural king, and he has long seen through the tricks of the Church, not only to stipulate that witches can live like ordinary people in the territory, but also to spread the innocence of witches throughout the Grey Keep. After a long time, it is natural that many witches will join him and work for him. Joko took the opportunity to praise His Majesty Roland, "So you don't have to worry about your future life at all, Your Majesty's Neverwinter claims that everyone can find a suitable job, and witches are no exception." ”

"What kind of work?" Amy's eyes sparkled.

How do I know...... I've never been to Neverwinter, "Well, of course it depends on what kind of ability you have, like being a blacksmith for a fireman, a whirlwind being a mill for a windmill, and so on." "In short, Your Majesty intends to establish a new royal capital in the western realm, which requires a lot of manpower, and even if the ability is not useful, you can work like an ordinary person." ”

"Sounds good," Anne winked at Amy, who was about to speak, "but lies are always much better than reality, and I ...... now."

"I know, I know, you can't fully trust me yet, can you?" said Yoko, spreading his hands, "just trust your own eyes then." ”

"By the way, how did you meet the hero?" asked Seventy-Six.

"When Wolfheart City fell, I happened to stay at Amy's house, and because I noticed the strange behavior of the Inquisitors, I followed the group to find the hero. "It was months before she met Broken Blade, and she was captured by the churchmates stationed there to take her to the Holy City. I set up an ambush on the road ahead of time and attacked the escort team and rescued her. ”

"Are you alone?"

"If you have enough time to prepare, it is not much more difficult to hunt a group of people than to hunt animals," Anne's tone was very calm, "It's just that after that ambush, the Church's search of Wolfheart City has increased several times, and we can no longer hide in it, so we left Wolfheart in the ranks of refugees, and finally headed south to live in the orphanage in Glowlight City." ”

"What an incredible escape," exclaimed Seventy-Six.

And it's not over yet, Joko thought to himself, even though the Dawn Kingdom wasn't as terrible as the Church, it was more than enough to crush their group. Hopefully, none of Ciel's worries are true, otherwise Ampein Moya will never let them go, and as long as they don't leave the realm of the Dawn Kingdom for a day, they won't be safe for a day.

He shook his head, putting these annoying thoughts behind him, "Let's go to bed early after dinner, and we'll have to go back tomorrow morning." ”

......

The rest of the escape journey was unexpectedly smooth, and under the planning of the magician, the group walked around the city without entering, and arrived at the Windward Ridge of the Morning Light five days later. A day's walk south will take you to the north of the Grey Castle.

Joko slackened a little, too.

After all, the feeling of tension along the way is not very comfortable, and he will wake up every night at the slightest movement, but Seventy-Six is much calmer than him, not only helping to take care of the witch usually, but also taking care of himself with him.

Over the course of a few days, she had become quite familiar with the witches, especially Amy, who was easily gullible, and simply regarded Seventy-Six as her fourth sister.

Joko leaned back on the cushion and looked out the window at the rolling hills and yellow fields, and couldn't help humming a little song in his heart.

The ambassadorship is in vain, but he has brought back four witches for his old friend, and if Hill is right, what kind of reward will His Majesty give him?

Just as he was in a reverie full of anticipation, the magician in charge of the guard suddenly caught up from the back of the convoy, "My lord, we may be in trouble, it seems that someone is following us behind." ”

"What?"

Joko was startled and quickly poked his head out of the window, but found nothing unusual.

"Those men are knights, and they are about seven or eight miles away from us, and you can't see them. The magician controlled the horses under him, keeping their bodies parallel to the carriage, "They are not moving fast, but ours are slower, and if this continues, sooner or later the other party will find out and catch up with the convoy." ”

"Are you sure they're enemies?"

"Not sure, I just glanced at it from afar, but we can't bet on this opportunity. They were about twenty or thirty men, fully armoured, and did not carry a change horse, which must have been found along our ruts. ”

"What then?" Joko panicked.

"We had to abandon the cart and walk, and there was a dense forest near here, where horses could not pass and riders could not play at their speed. "But this only brings us to the same level as theirs, and once we are overtaken, we will only be dead." To be sure, it's best to have someone lead the convoy and draw them onto the avenue. ”

He paused, "In other words, someone has to be willing to make sacrifices." ”
