"Alex, you..." Arthur was a little surprised, even at a loss.
"We don't have much time. Get to the steam train as soon as possible. Naples, Leafa, Arthur, let's go!"
As time keeps passing.
"Yes, Your Highness." Arthur reluctantly got up from the ground. Although there was still some pain in his stomach, his muscles and bones were not injured.
The rain fell heavier and heavier, and the drops fell in the woods, making a crisp collision sound. The soil that the four people stepped on was quickly washed away. This cold early summer rain gave Xavier and his party great difficulties, but it also
Their whereabouts were easily erased.
"Your Highness, I hope that one day I can see the emblem of the Rose surrounded by flames again and re-establish it." Jean Alex kept kneeling on one knee until Xavier left completely.
He lowered his head and let the rain wash on his hair. On his chest was the rose gold emblem of the Rose family. But the knight's robe was a little worn. I remember that the assassin's hidden arrow penetrated the knight's robe, but was struck by the Rose family emblem.
He held on to his own life.
...The left chest of the knight's robe was torn? Alex's eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly remembered Mond's last words before leaving.
Damn it, His Highness is in danger! It is not unreasonable for the Heretic Arbitration Tribunal and the Fate Tribunal to contain each other for hundreds of years. Blood flashed in Alex's eyes for a moment, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Boom!" The single-tube steam device on his waist burst out hot mist, which was several times more powerful than when Arthur fought just now!
Mond knows that he is a knight of the Rose family, so he cannot be left alive.
His Highness's whereabouts are mysterious. It is best to rush to the steam train platform before him and kill him as soon as he is discovered by the Fate Judgment Bureau. As long as His Highness can reach Nori safely and be crowned Earl, any sacrifice will be valuable.
Alex stepped through the big trees, like a squirrel jumping in the jungle, or even faster than it. To ordinary people, he could only see a flash of white steam.
…
The sky was completely dark, the torrential rain was still raging, and dark clouds like tidal waves covered the entire sky. It was pure black, the ultimate scarier than death.
"Master..." Naples was riding on a flimsy horse. Originally, the old man thought that his young master abandoned the eight-legged horse and wanted to walk to the steam platform.
But after barely taking two steps, in a dilapidated thatched house in the woods, a rough-looking hunter walked over with a smile that was uglier than crying.
The hunter held four ordinary horses in his hands. Although they could not be compared with the eight-legged Pegasus, they were well fed. The hunter threw four black cloaks to the four people, and then used a method with Xavier and the other three people.
Talk to each other if you don't understand.
Finally, they saw Xavier giving Orion some Yinga, and then Orion patted him heavily on the shoulder, and went back to the latrine to get some medicine and rub it on Arthur.
But how did this aristocratic young man who grew up in a ducal family know these things? Naples was a little puzzled.
Xavier was already twelve years old when I followed him. At that time, the old Duke had just disappeared, but the eldest son of the Rose family was obsessed with trysts with girls and various banquets with noble children every day, and never paid attention to the increasingly declining Rose family. I
The anxiety of some old servants was always ignored by the young master.
Many vassal families of Qiangwei announced that they were leaving the Qiangwei family and went to join the other three major families of Sentinoa. This further made Qiangwei's situation worse.
But in the past few days since the Holy Capital began to be judged and "fiefed" to Nori, and the few people had just left the Holy Capital, he had seen a completely different Xavier.
A young man who fits the legend of "the genius of the Rose family". Whether in terms of strategy or foresight, he is far superior to the old man who should be the Minister of the Interior.
Has he been pretending all these years? Six years ago, how old was he six years ago? Twelve or thirteen years old? He has been lurking for so many years, how patient and wise he must be!
In the past few days, Naples has been surprised. Every day he has more hope for the rise of the Rose Family. If it were him, if it were His Highness Xavier, the Rose Family might one day surpass the peak of the Duke of Richeille!
"Master, what language did you just use?" Naples asked cautiously. Although the current young master, like the three of them, was already in a state of distress due to the heavy rain, Naples no longer dared to resemble the aura he had.
I used to talk to him like that.
"Tashaya language." Xavier looked very uncomfortable lying on the back of the horse, and the extremely harsh environment made his old problem of irregular heartbeat relapse.
"...Is it the language of that desert country? This is the ancient language of one of the seven ancient civilizations!" After all, Naples is well-informed, but the grainy text of Tashaya language is like a tadpole with vine legs, which makes it difficult for people to read.
It's a big head!
"That hunter is a low-level race from the City of Canopy. He fled here after the City of Canopy was destroyed. What he lacks is the universal currency of Sentinoa, which happens to be something we have." Xavier panted.
, the horse's running made him a little hypoxic.
But when did you learn this, young master? Naples was full of questions, but he wisely kept his mouth shut because Xavier had no need to explain to him.
"Your Highness, we are about to leave the forest ahead. I will open the way first." Arthur behind him suddenly clamped the horse's belly, "Lefa, take care of His Highness, His Highness is not in a good condition right now."
Seeing Arthur rushing forward, the little maid also turned over and climbed onto Xavier's horse, covering Xavier's forehead with worry on her face.
"Lord Arthur, His Highness is out of breath..." Leafa took out the medicine she had with her and stuffed it into Xavier's mouth.
"Cough cough cough..." Xavier suddenly coughed hard several times. He smelled a very pungent smell, which was so strong that even heavy rain could hardly cover it up.
Waterproof fire gun, this is one of the three improved fire gun, waterproof fire gun! Although it is not really waterproof, it greatly reduces the chance of being unusable such as exploding the barrel in rainy days. The only disadvantage is the gun used.
The smell of the bomb will be very strong, making it difficult to use it for assassination.
"Click"
The sound of reloading the musket passed through the rain curtain, and the next moment, Xavier tightened the reins without thinking.
The horse roared, raised its front hooves to the sky, and almost threw Leafa and Xavier down! The next moment, a huge roar came, and the bullet with high temperature hit three meters in front of the horse, which was washed away by the cold rain.
, making a harsh "whistle" sound.
"Your Highness!" Arthur yelled in horror in front of him. Naples was also frightened, and he immediately realized that someone was trying to assassinate His Highness the quasi-count!
"Tsk tsk, wouldn't it be nice to die peacefully, my little highness? It's hard to imagine that the power of the Rose Family has actually penetrated into the Holy Cult..." A strange and sinister voice came from the trees.
"Meet Mond from the Mond's Fate Tribunal. The person who will mourn you."
