"Arthur, be careful! That might be a trap!" Bedivere reminded. Seeing the familiar scenery suddenly appear in front of him, he became even more vigilant.
"No, this is not a trap." The King of Knights suddenly understood something: "I understand. This is the route to escape."
Bediwell frowned: "Huh?"
"Come on, Bedivere. It's time to go back." The King of Knights did not explain much, but walked up boldly and reached out to touch the slit of light that reflected the scenery of Penzance Harbor.
Then, the blond boy's body instantly turned into light and disappeared.
The next second, when his vision recovered from the bright light, he found that he had returned to one of the small piers in Penzance Harbor, shrouded in fog.
"Is it really some kind of portal..." Another golden light fell next to the blond boy. It flashed for an instant and then dimmed. The image of Bedivere's big white wolf appeared. He had no reservations.
He truly believed in Arthur, followed by touching the slit of light, and then teleported here.
"No, it's not so much a portal as a teleportation beam. It's similar to the teleportation beam system used on your Dawn. However, this teleportation beam has a faster transmission speed and more advanced functions." The King of Knights analyzed.
: "So that is indeed an escape passage. After sending the driver of the Dragon Golem to the miniature version of the Pure Land of Avalon, the driver can choose which coordinates to escape to next."
"Is it necessary to go to this point? If it is just an escape, wouldn't it be better to just designate a safe area as the coordinates?"
"I'm afraid, for the pilot of that golem, it is necessary." Arthur replied without emotion: "For example, when the whole world is swallowed by [darkness], there are very few safe places to escape to."
Not long ago, it was a demon statue created by the ancient gods and humans, and it was placed in the same place as the Sword of the King. They thought it was a weapon used to fight [darkness], which should be very close to the truth. The ancient gods and humans expected
When the entire earth is being eroded by darkness on a large scale, it is natural and reasonable to have such a level of safety measures."
"It turns out------" Bedivere wanted to say something else, but suddenly his ears twitched, and after hearing a "shhh", he stopped talking.
Someone is approaching.
"Hmph..." Arthur also saw several figures in the mist at the end of the port. Those people might have been attracted by the teleportation beam they just used. Although the performance of the beam was
It is very high, the transmission speed is fast and low-key, but it still produces two golden rays of light that pierce the sky in this dark night. No matter how small the light is, it may be caught by some guys with extraordinary eyesight in this kind of night.
.
In other words, the person who rushed over to check the situation must also be a powerful person, most likely a member of the Holy See Crusaders. It would be bad to be bumped into by such a guy. The Crusaders are very sensitive to things like magic and witchcraft, and maybe they will
Capture Arthur for questioning.
"Bedi, let's go. Keep a low profile." Arthur hummed. Fortunately, the late-night fog in Penzance Harbor became their most powerful cover. Bediville's vision at night is also superior to the opponent's, so they have to get rid of these pursuers.
It shouldn't be difficult for those who come here.
The two of them quickly escaped from the wooden floor of the pier that was corroded by the tide and hid in a deserted shabby house. Arthur originally wanted to sneak through the shadow of the shabby house to the slum bungalow next to it, but Dabai
But the wolf held him back. Because the guys who had just rushed over were already too close, Mou Ran would be more easily seen if he ran out.
"Humph, are you mistaken? The light just now should have fallen near here." Three figures came over, led by a thin and short young man. This man was wearing light equipment, except for a few
In addition to a short dagger, the armor he wore was light leather armor with almost no defense, so he could run faster than his companions.
Arthur, who was hiding in the broken house and observing everything secretly, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this man's outfit. It was definitely not the formal uniform of the Holy See Crusaders. There was no such messy and thieves-like dress among the Crusaders.
Characters. It seems that the group of people rushing over are more likely to be some kind of adventurer group, maybe mercenaries or members of a band of thieves. Penzance is a city with complicated morals (even in Arthur's original world)
Same thing!), because it is a port, countless fleets of various business groups, large and small, come in and out every day. Some of them will hire various adventurers to serve as bodyguards for the fleets, and there will also be various thieves groups to attack the ships.
The idea of carrying goods on the team. It is not wrong to say that this is a city full of danger and crime, but equally, it is full of opportunities to get ahead------exploring the warriors' graves is just one of the countless opportunities.
That's all.
So, these hyena-like guys really saw the golden light that cut through the sky just now and thought that some treasure fell from the sky, so they rushed over to check what happened. If this is the case, it would be easier to handle, Ya
Se was secretly happy. Maybe these people are just greedy adventurers or thieves, they are all small characters who are easy to deal with...right?
However, when the companions of the guy dressed as a thief rushed over, Arthur knew that his idea was too naive. Although the man who ran fast at first was dressed as a thief, his companions were all wearing decent armor.
, carrying a giant cross sword on his back, he was obviously a warrior; while the other one was a tall, thin, slender and even weak woman, wearing a black velvet robe and holding a wooden long sword.
Staff, looks like a mage.
Arthur couldn't see any clues about that warrior. After all, a warrior was a warrior, and there was nothing to say. But the woman dressed as a mage was probably a troublesome character. In this era, the Holy See's sphere of influence was already quite large.
The Holy See sent heretical inquisitors all over Europe to hunt down witches and wizards, which had a considerable impact. Although England (Great Britain) is still in a gray area, the influence of the Holy See in this country is not very great. But that
It takes a lot of courage for a woman to dress like this and walk on the street openly. What if she is accidentally regarded as a witch and is arrested and burned at the stake by the heretic inquisitor?
Therefore, according to Arthur's analysis, the woman either has absolute strength and is not afraid of the heretic inquisitor's encirclement and suppression; or she has extraordinary connections and social influence, which can allow her to easily escape from troublesome situations. Regardless.
Anyway, you can just think of her as a character who is not easy to mess with.
After the two caught up, there seemed to be a figure shaking in the distance. Arthur also saw it. This seemingly three-person team should actually be a four-person team, and there was also an archer or ranger-like figure.
The characters are ambush and vigilant in the distance, but they will not easily join the main team members. The arrangement of the team members is quite professional and refined, and it does not look like a temporary team of adventurers formed for treasure hunting.
In other words, this group of people should be members of an organization? Either a mercenary team or a band of thieves.
"Is there nothing, Bordeaux?" The big man dressed as a soldier spoke first: "Are we going all the way in the middle of the night for nothing?"
"How strange. According to Krakow's monitoring, it should have landed nearby." The thin man dressed up by the thief named Bordeaux replied: "[The wise man] predicted that the golden light would bring us gold."
Luck, but did not explain what its entity is. If it is a treasure that fell from the sky, it would be easy to find. But if the characters were transferred here using some kind of witchcraft and magic, they would move immediately after arriving, and they may not necessarily stay where they were.
land."
"So, you are also a fool for still believing in the old man's prophecy." The big man said casually, but he was not idle - he was looking for the footprints of passers-by on the ground, trying to
Track Arthur's whereabouts.
Arthur frowned. Fortunately, he had done a thorough job of eliminating traces when he left the pier, so he wouldn't have left any clues for anyone to find.
"No need to bother, Hanover." The woman dressed as a mage said at this time: "The other party eliminated the traces left behind when he left. It seems that he should be a cautious guy. But someone has indeed been here.
The breath left by the person is still floating in this space. It should not be gone for more than ten minutes."
Arthur was shocked. That woman was indeed dangerous!
"Since Nantes said this, there should be nothing wrong." The big man named Hanover hummed: "Milan, did you find anything?"
"Nothing." A faint voice came from the shadow in the distance. It was probably the archer who was hiding. Although the source of the voice was very far away, it sounded very clear. I don't know if it was used.
What special sound transmission technology?
And by this time, Arthur seemed to have heard some clues. When these people called each other, they did not use their real names, and the names of some European cities were the pseudonyms they agreed to use. Even their names used specific names.
The code name is used to hide it, which proves that this group of people is indeed organized to a certain extent and is a very professional team. Most of the thieves guild are ruffians, so there is no such a professional organization, and most of the time thieves
If you work alone, you won't form such a team. So after screening, the most likely ones left are mercenaries. These people are most likely members of the mercenary union, and they should also be a team with a high status in the union.
.
Are you being targeted by such a guy? It's really troublesome. Another drop of sweat broke out on Arthur's forehead. At this time, it's better to just wait and wait for these mercenaries to get tired of searching and leave on their own. The worst thing is
The situation is that Arthur and Bedivere were found hiding by these mercenaries. In that case, it would be extremely troublesome to try to explain and excuse themselves.
Gugugugu------
However, the more Arthur didn't want to see it happen, the more it happened. The big white wolf next to the blond boy suddenly let out a growl. The sound was neither loud nor quiet, but it was just enough to arouse the mercenaries' attention.
Notice.
"You glutton, why is your stomach growling in the middle of the night..." Arthur looked at Bedivere with an annoyed look.
"Woof~?" The big white wolf looked at the blond boy with an innocent face.
