Like a passerby participating in the final stage of a marathon... The skinny Nan Xiaonan was running staggeringly at this time.
Not far behind him, [Duland] was catching up quickly.
Obviously, Miss Nan did not successfully summon the invincible boss. What can she do? She can only run away!
Roar!
Suddenly, the mutated [Durant] suddenly opened his mouth, and an orange-red light instantly spit out from [Durant]'s mouth.
The straight light passed by Miss Nan's shoulder in a thrilling manner, and suddenly hit the rock in front, creating a melted gap in an instant.
Ms. Nan, you feel this is going too far, don’t you?
If you have the ability, would you like me to create a star once?
She ran to a cliff unknowingly, and below was a rapidly flowing underground river... Is this the underground river that Miss Youye mentioned that exists in the Donremi Village area?
She had no time to think more, [Durand] had completely driven her to a dead end.
Even if she releases a soul shock...she may be able to knock down [Durand], but after [Durand], there is that weird woman in black robe.
The woman in black robe was walking slowly behind [Duland] at this time.
"Hey! Anyway, I blew up the statue for you... Well, it was the stone I threw that blew it up, how about some respect?" Miss Nan tried to save her life.
At this moment, [Duland] opened his mouth again, and the orange-red light then condensed.
Miss Nan's eyes suddenly condensed, and she took a step back. The next step was that the surging river water beam under the cliff spit out directly at this moment.
I won’t play with you anymore!
Miss Nan immediately gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and jumped in the moment the beam of light erupted, relying on the belief that the Black Soul Messenger could be reborn after death.
boom!!!
The powerful beam instantly blew up and melted the cliff. A large piece of stone was even broken off and fell into the underground river below.
The splashing water was instantly submerged by the rapid river water.
The woman in black robe stood aside, looking at the distance of the river expressionlessly... Beside her, [Durand] squatted down slowly, and made a few low cooing sounds from time to time.
After a while, the woman in black robe withdrew her gaze and turned away... [Duland] used his hands and feet to quickly jump on the ground to follow.
…
His eyes, ears, mouth and nose were filled with cold river water, but Nan Xiaonan still managed to endure it for a while before daring to surface.
She took a few breaths of turbid air frantically, but she didn't know where she had been washed away... The river was flowing so fast that she couldn't resist it, and she could only let the river wash away her.
She wanted to save herself, but there was not even a protruding stone on the road.
The chill of the icy river water even invaded her internal organs... The memory used when thinking jumped too much. Now she didn't even have subcutaneous fat. She was shivering from the cold. Her hands and feet even gradually lost control and became stiff.
At this moment, something seemed to strangle her ankles in the water, and her body was suddenly pulled in the current.
Miss Nan was instantly frightened. She thought her leg was grabbed by something scary in the water... After subconsciously kicking a few times, instead of breaking free, she was tightened even tighter.
Nan Xiaonan forced herself to calm down and found that she seemed to be just being entangled by something... She tentatively wiped it off her ankle.
She found that what she touched did not seem to be some strange creature, but...
"rope?"
It seems to be a thick and long rope spanning both sides of the river!
…
She pulled the rope with difficulty and slowly approached the river bank. The moment she finally landed, Nan Xiaonan collapsed to the ground, her limbs motionless, and only her chest was rising and falling rapidly.
“Finally...saved.”
“It’s just that who tied this rope...”
Nan Xiaonan slowly got up and saw a piece of wood stuck in the rock wall in front of her.
She staggered over and found that the wood turned out to be a torch, and there was a small cloth bag hanging next to it, which contained some materials that could make a fire.
There was even a package on the ground containing some clean clothes... but it was a little small.
But judging from her skinny condition at this time, it seems to be just right.
She lit the torch in confusion, illuminated the surrounding area, and found a way.
“Someone came here from the upper reaches through the underground river water?”
Nan Xiaonan suddenly thought about it, but who the hell is so boring and does such crazy things?
Shaking her head, Miss Nan decided to give up thinking.
Her brain doesn’t have much nutrients anymore, which allows her to think too much and hope she can find something on the way to replenish her calories.
It is best to have something rich in protein.
Then, she saw a small lizard crawling out of the crack in the rock...
Emmmmm……?
…
…
…
…
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the residence of Charis in the village. At this time, several cavalrymen from the kingdom were already stationed in front of the residence of the village chief.
Even on the road, cavalrymen of the cavalry can be seen walking.
At this time, the carriage had just stopped, and a cavalry man stepped forward and asked: "Who is it?"
I saw Mr. Jacques sticking his head out of the carriage, smiling slightly and saying: "Go and tell your Lord Baron that Mr. Jacques has come to visit with his family."
“Please wait a moment!” The inquiring cavalryman nodded and quickly turned around and entered.
Soon after, the cavalry returned and said with a cold expression: "You can go in, but the coachman must stay outside."
Mr. Jacques nodded casually and walked out of the carriage first, then turned around and helped a woman wearing luxurious clothes and a veil hat out of the carriage.
After the woman came down, there was another girl who also wore a veil and hat, but dressed as a girl.
The woman and girl followed Mr. Jacques and, led by the cavalry, slowly walked into the home of Chief Charles.
The lights in the room were bright. Baron York from the Kingdom was sitting on the sofa in casual clothes, looking a little casual. When he saw Mr. Jacques arriving, a smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. York, I have been waiting for your arrival." Baron York stood up quickly, opened his hands, walked forward enthusiastically, and even hugged Mr. Jacques gently.
“This must be Lady Isabel!”
Baron York looked at the woman behind Mr. Jacques at this time, and walked forward... No matter what, if this is the real Princess Isabel, he cannot neglect her.
When nobles meet, the minimum greeting is required.
Perhaps there will be a kiss on the hand...but I heard that Lady Isabel has leprosy. Baron York is not sure whether this is a lie made up by Jacques to prevent others from discovering Isabel's identity.
Luckily, the woman had no intention of kissing her hand. She just stood quietly and nodded slightly.
Baron York didn't mind either, and hurriedly greeted a few people into the living room, while saying: "Village Chief Charles is a hospitable man. He not only gave up his home for me to live temporarily, but he was even afraid of disturbing me.
I moved to another place by myself."
“I have always thought that Charles is very suitable for these things.” Mr. Jacques said with a casual smile.
Baron York opened a bottle of wine at this time, saying it was brought from [Chinon], a box sent by the crown prince, and this was the last bottle.
"There is no need to say more." Mr. Jacques shook his head and said seriously: "Baron, let's pick up what we talked about during the day."
Baron York didn't look too anxious and said slowly: "Mr. Jacques, didn't you say that you couldn't understand what I said?"
"I have discussed it with Isabel." Mr. Jacques said directly: "I promise you to take Jeanne back, but I have a condition."
Baron York smelled the aroma of the wine glass and then made a gesture to please speak.
“Apart from Jeanne, I hope that I and my wife can also go to [Chinon] together this time.” Mr. Jacques said calmly.
This did not seem to exceed Baron York's expectations. He smiled without surprise and said: "After returning to [Chinon], I hope to organize a grand wedding for Mr. Jacques and your wife."
Mr. Jacques glanced at Baron York in surprise, shook his head and said, "No need, I don't want too many people to know that I entered [Chinon]."
Baron York narrowed his eyes at this time and said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet, Mr. Jacques."
Mr. Jacques frowned.
"I hope to organize a grand wedding for Mr. Jacques and your wife." Baron York said slowly: "But the premise is that you really let me bring the new [Saint] back to [Chinon]."
“She is my daughter.” Mr. Jacques pointed to the girl sitting quietly beside him expressionlessly.
Baron York calmly said: "Mr. Jacques, don't you think that if you just find a girl, you can be regarded as a new [saint]?"
"I don't know what you are talking about." Mr. Jacques said calmly: "This is my daughter."
"Your daughter?" Baron York chuckled, "Who is your daughter? There is no one in the entire Donremi village who doesn't know or has never seen her, right? It's not difficult to tell the difference. Why do you need to
Are you trying to embarrass me? This is an order from the royal family. I can't say that I made a mistake because I was confused. This will cost me my future and even my family."
"I said, this is my daughter." Mr. Jacques shook his head and said: "As you requested, I brought my daughter. Whether you admit it or not is up to you."
“It should be almost time.” Baron York suddenly said at this time.
“What time?” Mr. Jacques asked calmly.
Baron York smiled and said: "The cavalry I sent out should be catching up with the carriage in about time... I am talking about the carriage that left the back door of your house not long ago."
Mr. Jacques breathed out slowly.
Baron York shook his head and stood up, "Don't you think that I will do nothing... Mayor Charles is a very honest person, even if you have someone in your family, he will tell you with enthusiasm.
I dare not say whether the person who fell to the ground is Madame Isabelle, but this person, I am afraid, cannot be the real Mademoiselle Jeanne."
Mr. Jacques said: "In this case, our family will say goodbye. It seems there is nothing to talk about."
"Don't worry." Baron York waved his hand and said: "Didn't Mr. Jacques say that you want to go with me to [Chinon]? Where are you going? After the carriage comes back, we can set off...
In fact, I really don’t want to stay in this place any longer, there isn’t even a dancing girl here, it’s a miserable place.”
A company of six cavalrymen pushed the door open and entered... They stood guard in front of the door.
Mr. Jacques breathed out slowly again, and he said quietly: "Actually, as you promised me, just take us back to [Chinon] and everything will be fine... Baron York, you
Being wise may not necessarily bring you good luck."
Baron York smiled indifferently, thinking it was the weak roar of a loser.
He waved his hand and ordered the cavalry who entered the door: "Keep a close eye on Mr. Jacques and his [family], and set off immediately after the people in the carriage chase them back!"
With that said, Baron York lazily sat back on the sofa, raised his wine glass, and shook it gently.
He looked at Mr. Jacques in front of him interestingly. He was a mysterious man. His life experience was a mystery and he was versatile. He once fascinated countless noble ladies in [Chinon]. He even took away the princesses of the royal family and eloped.
for nearly twenty years.
Even after twenty years, this man still looks quite elegant and charming.
This man has a pair of deep blue eyes like the sea... He is indeed very charming, Baron York thought subconsciously.
He stared at Mr. Jacques's dark blue eyes, and subconsciously seemed to see the real sea... He seemed to be trapped in a whirlpool, and gradually lost his voice.
Suddenly, Baron York saw a pair of scarlet eyes in this huge whirlpool... The sapphire eyes seemed to have turned into blood-stained diamonds at this moment.
Baron York only felt a suffocating feeling, making it difficult to breathe. He even felt as if his heart was being held...
A scream suddenly broke the tranquility of the night in Donremi Village.
Baron York's spirit suddenly struggled out of the whirlpool. He broke into a cold sweat unknowingly and subconsciously asked: "What happened?"
"I don't know, the sound seems to be coming from outside..." A cavalryman in the room said quickly at this time: "I'll go outside to see what happened."
With that said, the cavalry pushed open the door and walked out. Baron York frowned. He looked at Mr. Jacques again, only to find that Mr. Jacques had an expression on his face and even closed his eyes slowly.
…Is it because of the influence of alcohol?
Baron York subconsciously put down the wine glass in his hand.
Time passed little by little, and there was still no movement from Mr. Jacques... Baron York was about to speak, but the cavalry who went to inquire hurriedly knocked into the door, looking panicked.
“Sir, sir, you’d better come out and take a look!” The cavalryman said in horror: “Something strange has happened!”
"What's the matter?" Baron York stood up impatiently.
The cavalryman said: "The villagers outside... have become very, very weird!"
