"Is this Grand Marshal Gilles?" Verne asked again. Although he saw that the situation was not right and wanted to run away quickly, he had to be 100% sure of the other party's identity before he could start passing orders. It would be bad if he mistakenly conveyed important information to others.
It's a big deal.
"It's me." The other party replied calmly, which didn't match his crazy outfit at all.
"Very good." Verne swallowed: "Send the order. Joan of Arc is still alive and in the hands of the Pope. Lord [Michael] wants to get in touch with the [Saint Faction]."
"Understood." Marshal Giles replied calmly.
"Then farewell." Verne took a few steps back and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." The other party suddenly stopped: "Since the order has been completed, you are useless."
"ha?"
"Huh." A crazy smile suddenly appeared on the Generalissimo's face: "Tonight is the night of the full moon, which is the best time to perform black magic. Your tender body is just suitable to be used to pay tribute to the devil. Use it
Stay!"
After he finished speaking, the lunatic rushed towards Verne with a hatchet in his hand and chopped him down without saying a word!
"Wow!" The young man exclaimed and dodged. Fortunately, he had excellent eyesight. He started to dodge as soon as the opponent's arm moved. He easily dodged Marshal Gilles' slash. Then the sharp and heavy hatchet
It hit the floor and actually made a big hole in the heavy wooden floor!
"Oh my God, are you crazy?!" Verne shouted as he fled the room.
"I'm not crazy, I'm very sober." Gilles, with a fierce look on his face, hunched his back and approached Verne step by step: "Ah~~~ A boy with tender skin and tender flesh, what a good material! Absolutely~ yes~~
I want to sacrifice you to the devil! If God abandons us, then even if we borrow power from the devil, we must use that power to save Joan of Arc!"
This guy is completely crazy. And he is a complete devil himself.
Verne ran away, trying to escape the threat as quickly as possible. However, Marshal Gilles raised his left hand that was not holding the hatchet, and dozens of snakes poured out of his loose sleeves. They crawled faster than Verne.
Quickly, it wrapped around one of the boy's legs within a few seconds. Verne happened to be running to the edge of the stairs. As soon as he was entangled by the snake, he immediately lost his balance and rolled down the stairs!
"Woof!" The little wolf flew out and bit the boy's clothes before Verne fell upside down. Fortunately, the little wolf adjusted the boy's posture, and Verne only suffered a few blows when he rolled down.
Got some skin trauma.
The little wolf tore off the snakes from the boy's legs and threw them away! The snakes turned into ashes in mid-air!
"Oh, can you also use a familiar?" The marshal chased after him, with an evil red light shining in his eyes: "But a familiar of this level is nothing, watch me kill it right away!"
More poisonous snakes emerged from his sleeves and surrounded Verne in a fan shape. The young man subconsciously took out his crossbow, but he hesitated and did not dare to take action against a big man like Marshal Gilles. He changed
Then he aimed the crossbow at the poisonous snake on the ground and fired. The light repeating crossbow fired five crossbow arrows in succession. The moment the sacredly enchanted crossbow arrow hit the ground, it splashed out holy water and spread out in a pool on the ground! The poisonous snakes were released from the holy water and quickly disappeared!
"Is it holy water? Is it someone from the church, or someone from the Brotherhood? ------Or, is it the Polish [Miracle Hunter]?"
"Just a follower of [The Saint in the Stone]." Verne replied while reloading arrows, and at the same time retreated to the main entrance of the mansion. Unfortunately, the main entrance was locked, and the way to the back door was blocked by the poisonous snake and the marshal.
.It seems that the only way to escape is to use arrows. But even so, you must slip past Marshal Gilles. The opponent will definitely attack with a hatchet, and dodging that attack is the key.
If you can't avoid it, your head may move immediately.
"Woof!" roared the little wolf guarding Verne.
"You want to help me clear the way?" the young man asked, "Will you die?"
"Woof!" Xiaolang replied firmly.
"In that case, I don't care!" Verne fired all the crossbow arrows instantly. Seven crossbow arrows were fired in a straight line, opening a path on the floor leading to the kitchen. When the crossbow arrows came into contact with the holy water, the poisonous snakes on the ground began to disappear.
, a safe path is opened, at least temporarily.
Without thinking, Verne ran towards the kitchen, with the little wolf following him closely!
Naturally, Marshal Gilles also waved his hatchet to try to stop the boy. The sharp and fast hatchet had already slashed down on Verne's forehead!
"Ouch!" The little wolf suddenly accelerated at this critical moment, pounced on the marshal from the side, and used its inertia to forcefully change the attack trajectory of the hatchet.
Verne followed the change in track by sliding sideways, and continued to sprint forward without slowing down, slipping into the kitchen in a few steps! However, he instantly felt murderous intent coming from behind him, and the marshal backhanded the little wolf.
Chop it in half, and wave your other hand violently in the direction of Verne. Something comes out of his sleeve!
It was obviously not a venomous snake. But Verne turned his back to Gilles and ran away, so he naturally had no time to look back and see what the hidden weapon was. It came very quickly, and the young man secretly sighed that something was wrong. He might not be able to avoid being hit by that hidden weapon.
!
Boom! At this moment, another figure fell from the kitchen beam, raised his leg and kicked the hidden weapon away.
"You actually attack such a child." A girl stood behind Verne: "There should be a limit to the madness, the dark wizard Giles."
"Are you from the Mage Association?" Marshal Giles groaned: "Don't hinder my good deeds!"
Black energy surged out of him and began to spread throughout the hall, even flowing into the kitchen.
"Run quickly," the girl ordered.
"Where are you, sister?" Verne looked at the other party quickly. The long-haired girl wearing a black tights was dressed a bit strangely. She held a crossbow in both hands and had something on her leg that could both use a bayonet and shoot crossbow arrows.
device. The kick she just made was to use the bayonet attached to the crossbow on her leg to block Giles' darts.
"I can hold him off for half a minute---run anyway!" the girl said, while firing a large number of crossbow arrows with both bows. The explosives on the crossbow arrows set off a series of small explosions in the black air-filled living room.
, like stars that keep shining.
"It hurts the eyes." Verne complained, while running away desperately.
After he slipped out of the back door and was out of danger, he found that the little wolf that had been chopped in half reappeared next to him as if nothing had happened.
"Are you immortal too?" The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Could it be a demon or something?"
"Wow~~~" the little furball replied ambiguously.
There was also a vague explosion sound coming from the house, and the witch and the dark wizard were fighting fiercely. Although he knew that Marshal Gilles would not go outside to hunt Verne in broad daylight, the boy still retreated quickly and walked quickly.
He ran out of the backyard of the mansion, circled the alley, and returned to the carriage.
"Marshal Gilles is a madman." Verne complained as soon as he jumped into the carriage.
"Thank you for your hard work." Arthur looked up and down at the wounds on Verne's body: "It doesn't look like he was poisoned or cursed. Just in case------"
He took out the holy water he had just prepared with the holy sword and gave it to Verne: "Go back to the hotel and take a good bath. Remember to apply the holy water to the wounds. Don't miss a single wound."
"Okay." Verne, who originally hated bathing, seems to have become more clean-minded in recent years - probably because of the habit developed by living with another Aslan. He doesn't even have it.
Complaining about having to take a shower again.
"The message was given to the madman, but I don't think he is the kind of person who can communicate." When Arthur drove the carriage, Verne, who was hiding in the carriage to change clothes, asked: "Is this really good?
?"
"At least I did everything I could," Arthur said.
Giles is a demon who attacks even innocent children without explanation, so naturally he cannot cooperate with that kind of person. But other than that, Arthur can't think of any way to get in touch with the [Saint Faction]. Next, he can only be patient.
Wait for the [Saint Faction] to take the initiative to contact Arthur.
In the worst case scenario, even if they fail to join forces with the [Saint Faction], they can at least incite the [Saint Faction] people to attack the church. When they are fighting the church, Arthur and his party can take advantage of the chaos and sneak into the Holy Land Vatican.
internal.
There are too few allies, and there are too few chess pieces that can be mobilized. What should we do?
Just as the King of Knights was worried, his carriage suddenly trembled. Without thinking, Arthur drew out his holy sword and slashed upwards with his backhand.
Boom! The edgeless blade of the Holy Sword was blocked by the opponent's weapon. The opponent seemed to have blocked the blow with the bayonet on his foot.
"You want to take advantage of such an innocent child, you are really hopeless." A woman's voice came from behind Arthur's head.
"How can I lure you out otherwise?" Arthur hummed without emotion: "------Witch Bayuretta."
"Witch or something, it's better not to be too public------" The black-haired girl quickly fell from the roof of the car to the front seat of the carriage, sitting next to Arthur: "You don't want to be [Inquisitor]
Are you looking for trouble?"
"Huh, if they don't trouble me anyway, I will trouble them sooner or later." Arthur sneered: "Take me to see the people from the [Mage Association]."
"Not now. The risk is too great." Bei: "Go back to your hotel and get ready."
"Yes, my Lady Queen," the King of Knights said sarcastically.
"I'll kill you!" The witch angrily pressed her crossbow against Arthur's temple.
"Don't make trouble, you're still driving." King Arthur remained unmoved.
"Um, big sister just now." Verne poked his head out from behind the carriage: "Thank you so much for just now. Without your help, I might not have been able to escape from that madman."
"You're welcome." Bayoletta rubbed the boy's head: "It's really unfortunate for you to be a follower for such a guy."
"Hahahaha, it's very interesting. You can see many things that ordinary people will never see in their lifetime." Verne said with a smile.
"You will die. Absolutely." Bei: "If you want to experience extraordinary things in a mortal body, it will always end in tragedy. Children like you who have not received corresponding training should not have set foot in this extraordinary place from the beginning.
Human realm. Does the injury on your body hurt? Have you learned a lesson?"
"No, it doesn't hurt at all." Verne rubbed the bruises on his arms and grinned.
Arthur saw all this but kept silent. The reason why Arthur sent Verne to contact the dangerous Grand Marshal Gilles was to scare the kid and make him retreat. However,
Verne saw that his enemy was unreasonably powerful, yet he was not afraid at all. His psychological quality had reached a superhuman level.
