Jin Tong did not put Clara into a sack like he had kidnapped Li Yu.
He helped the little maid climb onto the horse, and then he got on the horse himself, grabbed the reins, and the big brown horse sneezed and stepped forward at the urging of its owner.
Soon the oncoming cold wind startled Clara.
When she went out, she thought it was just a short trip, and she didn't expect to ride a horse, so she didn't wear a particularly windproof cloak.
Seeing this, Jin Tong took out a blanket from behind her buttocks and threw it to the little maid.
"Thank you." Clara said. She wrapped herself up with the sheepskin blanket, leaving only her head outside. She felt her body getting warm all of a sudden, and then she looked around curiously.
"Are we... heading towards Teacup Castle?"
"That's right."
"But Merlin and the Black Dog Guard are also there right now, as well as the warriors of the Arias family."
"That's why no one thought we would leave from there."
Jin Tong paused and continued, "Last time, we evacuated from the south through the Popo family's territory, but Merlin will definitely focus on monitoring that direction this time."
"Then you can still go north."
"..." Jin Tong was silent.
Clara didn't quite understand why Jin Tong reacted like this at first, but it soon dawned on her, "You are afraid of the Prophet Merlin."
Jin Tong did not deny it, "I am already a hundred years old. I have been an unbeliever for the past hundred years and do not believe in those weird things at all. Until that night, I met him and saw with my own eyes his transformation from there.
When I ran across a stream, my feet stepped on the water without sinking at all.
"I... couldn't understand what I saw for the first time, and it didn't matter. Later, I obviously caught him, but he still disappeared from under my eyes. It was a real disappearance, without any signs.
The kind that just disappears suddenly, as if it has turned into air."
"Yeah, yeah, I understand, the prophet is not from our world. He can move around freely in the Kingdom of God and the mortal world." The little maid said, "I often see him disappear."
"After I went back, I learned more about him. Before, I always thought it was just some ignorant people in the countryside spreading rumors, but now I can no longer tell which ones are rumors and which ones are the truth."
Jin Tong said, "I have faced countless enemies in my life, but there is no opponent that I can't see through so clearly, so I must be very cautious when facing him, and I can't make any mistakes."
"You can actually choose not to compete with him." Clara suggested.
"Um?"
"It feels much happier to be a companion with Merlin than to be his enemy. Miss Ilea should feel this the most."
"Really? It's a pity that he and I can only be enemies, not friends." Jin Tong said.
"Don't be so absolute," Clara said, "I know a person who is very similar to you. He is not a good person, but he is not very bad either. In the end, he also joined the Shuangxiujiu."
"You seem to have misunderstood something. The reason why I gave you the blanket just now was not because of my conscience, but because the person who gave me the order asked me to bring you back intact."
Jin Tong said coldly, "In my eyes, you are no different than a piece of merchandise. And I can assure you that there is absolutely no one worse than me in this world. The blood on the hands of the person you know is probably
It’s not as much as my fraction.”
Clara closed her mouth when she heard this.
At first, Jin Tong thought that the little maid was finally frightened, but unexpectedly, after a while, Clara spoke again, "Where are your companions? That night you attacked the Prophet Merlin, there were many of them
Bar."
"They have other things to do... The more people involved in this operation, the easier it is to be exposed. It's easier for me to succeed alone."
"What's going on?" Clara became curious again.
"This has nothing to do with you."
"Oh." The little maid changed the question again, "Then where will we stay tonight? Are we going to sleep in the wilderness..."
Jin Tong was a little annoyed by the question, "Didn't you hear what I was saying just now? I am a bad guy who kills without blinking an eye. Not only men, I also kill women, old people, and even babies who are still in their infancy."
I won’t let you go, aren’t you afraid?”
"But you also said that you were following orders, and the person who ordered you asked you to take me back intact." The little maid blinked.
"…………"
Jin Tong just wants to give himself two words now, why did he have to say those two words just now?
Clara then asked about her captor.
Jin Tong only said that he was a big shot, and he would know after seeing that person.
Unknowingly, the two of them had approached Teacup Castle. Jin Tong squinted his eyes and could even see the drone floating above the castle. It was another magical creation that he had never seen before.
Jin Tong instinctively felt wary and repelled by those flying iron birds, so he immediately hit his horse and walked into the woods nearby without stopping any longer.
Since most people from the nearby villages had gone to watch Ilea's initiation ceremony, and the guards of the Arias family were stationed around the Teacup Castle, there was no one in the woods at the moment and it was very quiet.
In addition, Jin Tong walked around seven times and eight times, specializing in remote places. The whole journey was unexpectedly smooth. When he was about to walk out of the forest, Jin Tong's anxious heart was a little relieved.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the trees nearby.
Then I saw an old farmer come out from there, holding a hare and a simple trap in his hand.
Their eyes met, and both sides were shocked.
Jin Tong didn't expect to meet anyone else here, and that person would also see him and Clara.
As for the old farmer, it was because he hunted privately without telling the lord, and he caught rabbits, an animal that was protected on the Arias family's territory.
He didn't expect to be hit by someone, so he was a little at a loss for a moment.
A flash of murderous intent flashed in Jin Tong's eyes. He had already considered killing someone and silenced him. He had already put one hand on the hilt of the sword, but the next moment Clara's voice sounded.
"Father, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Aren't you going to take me to Black Rock City to buy a puppy? Let's go quickly."
Hearing this, Jin Tong was silent for a long time, and finally moved away the hand holding the sword, nodded, and stopped looking at the old farmer, and rode past the man on horseback.
The old farmer also breathed a sigh of relief, looked around again, put the hare in his arms, and hurriedly left the woods in the other direction.
