Since the werewolf attack on Beta Village,
Nok and others encountered a series of inexplicable attacks.
In this way, Knock developed a huge hatred for Philip.
It's almost to the point of not stopping.
Knock vowed that as long as he had the chance, he would cut Philip into pieces!
This hypocrite who keeps talking about benevolence, justice and morality,
In order to kill Nok alone, several villages where Nok stayed had been destroyed.
He even destroyed a town!
But it also frightened Nok.
Did Dracula really dote on this descendant so much?
He actually didn’t hesitate to send so many dark races to be driven by Philip!
This matter caused such a big fuss in a country near the Holy Court.
Is this provoking the Holy Court?
Is Dracula crazy just to vent his anger on a descendant?
Nok could guess from Philip's bloodline that he was a descendant of Dracula.
Little did he know that Philip was regarded as Dracula's successor.
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Philip.
He was killed by Wolf King Bekhan Mu with one move, although the blood summoning spell sent him away in time.
But Philip was still beaten to death by the Wolf King.
As a result, he is still being treated by Dracula.
It is precisely because of this that the werewolves escaped.
By the time Dracula knew that it was the Wolf King who wanted to kill Philip, the werewolf clan was already empty.
Dracula overturned the werewolf tribe's place and couldn't find a single wolf cub.
What's even more unfortunate is that his territory has been attacked by the Holy Court forces.
Because the werewolf tribe's attack on human villages was exposed, Dracula, as the protector of the werewolf tribe,
There is no way to get rid of this scapegoat!
Dracula could only bite the bullet and go to the Holy Court to negotiate.
Of course, these are things for later. It was already after the Holy Court had selected the new cardinal.
At this time, Nok and his party had changed their itinerary.
Instead of heading south along the western coastline, they were attacked in various ways,
He was forced to flee eastward to the Principality of Modena.
Even after escaping into the Principality of Modena, the attacks still did not stop.
This scene made it difficult for Nok and his party.
On this day, Nok finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Because he felt that these were all actions taken by Philip to target him.
Therefore, he decided to part ways with Richelieu and divide his troops into two groups.
Unexpectedly, he was opposed by Richelieu.
"How can this work! We are now in the same boat. We are separated and our strength is weak.
It's easy to be defeated one by one! "
Richelieu's words made Nok, who was originally moved, instantly withdraw his emotion.
Well, it turns out this guy is afraid of death.
However, this is also human nature.
If Richelieu knew that Philip was only targeting him, he would probably leave him on the spot.
What kind of allies, is it important to survive?
But Nok didn't want to tell the truth, and immediately said: "I have already decided that this is not the way to go.
In addition to the previous attacks, I also discovered that the vampire came towards me every time, obviously targeting me.
In that case, why not let me divert it away.
The cardinal's election date is coming soon. If you go south now, take the east coast and go to St. Mary's City.
It should still be possible to go further west to the city of San Roma.
Don't delay your election because of me.
Our arrangements on the road should have worked.
By then, as long as you perform properly, you will be at least 70% sure of your position as Cardinal.
So, don't waste time here, listen to me,
Let Rhodes and the others accompany you south, and I will divert the pursuers away myself.
At that time, if I can make it in time, I will join you in the Holy Court.
If I don't arrive before the election time, you will help me explain to the Holy Court why I am late.
Then I will return to Flange by myself. If I miss the reporting time, I probably won’t return to Flange so early.
You can temporarily let the two Rhodes work for you.
If anything bad happens to me, the two of Rhodes and some of my friends at Reims Cathedral,
I'll ask you, Richelieu, to help take care of it. "
"This..." Richelieu was already moved after hearing Nok say that the vampire was actually targeting him.
It's just that he wanted to be embarrassed and pretended to be embarrassed, but he didn't make any excuses.
He was afraid that he would be self-defeating and that it would be bad if Nok regretted it.
"Sir Bishop, let Finette accompany Mr. Richelieu south, and I will lead away the pursuers with you."
The person who spoke was Rhodes. Finette said nothing and did not look at Nok.
Because his eyes were flickering at this time, and he was very confused inside.
After all, one is a master whose life or death is uncertain, and the other is a potential cardinal with a promising future.
If he could accompany him to the south and have the "power of following the dragon", he might be able to rise to prominence smoothly.
Isn't it better than being a slave to a young man?
It wasn't that Nock Lane's status was low, but that he was too young, which made Finette feel that his face was disgraceful.
In addition, he could feel that Nok was not as close to him as Rhodes,
Naturally, he has two minds.
Nok was not in the mood to observe the changes in his subordinates, so he directly and sternly rejected Rhodes' request.
Rhodes was ordered to accompany Richelieu south, otherwise he would not be recognized as his master.
In fact, Nock was worried that Richelieu would abandon him as a partner after gaining power.
That’s why I wanted to order Rhodes to follow Richelieu and act as an informant.
At least if there was any trouble, he would know about it afterwards, so he wouldn't be blinded.
As for Finette, it can also be considered a test.
If he can end up with Knock, Knock wouldn't mind reusing him.
But if he is half-hearted, haha, even if Richelieu dares to take him in,
Nok also dared to kill Finette.
In the face of absolute interests, Richelieu would not fall out with Nok because of a traitor.
At least, Knock has this confidence.
As long as Nok doesn't die.
A twenty-one-year-old regional bishop and a twenty-something silver guard,
Richelieu could still tell which one weighed more.
With Nok's order, Rhodes could only obey.
Unexpectedly, both Nock and Richelieu forgot one person.
Shakespeare.
Shakespeare did not choose to go south with Richelieu and his party, but chose to continue to follow Knock.
This surprised everyone and also increased Nok's suspicion of him.
But along the way, Shakespeare's composure made Knock's suspicion of him less serious.
Nock asked Shakespeare why he followed him. After all, it was safer to follow Richelieu.
As a result, Shakespeare actually said that Knock was his savior.
Moreover, he was taken in by Nok, so how could he leave Nok? This is very inconsistent with his outlook on life and values.
Moreover, he is not a subordinate of Nok, and there is no need to follow Nok's orders.
Anyway, wherever Nok goes, he will follow.
And he talked about the benefits of following Nok.
First, he is a bard who is proficient in the customs of various countries and can help Nok hide his whereabouts better.
Secondly, as a bard, he felt that Nok's adventures could enrich his creations.
Therefore, he is willing to accompany Nok on insurance.
So, after persuading them to no avail, Nock and Shakespeare left the team in a small town.
Accompanied by Roger Fitt, Rod, and Finette, Richelieu headed south towards the city of Sainte-Marie.
Prepare to take a detour to the city of Santa Roma.
Nock, with the help of Shakespeare, disguised himself and rented a new carriage.
Head towards the Kingdom of Venice to the east.
Venice is a big commercial country. Venetian merchants, Persian merchants and Yage merchants,
He is also known as the world's three best businessmen.
Because the Venetian merchants were stingy, the Persian merchants were cunning, and the Yage merchants were greedy.
But the most famous thing about Venice is not the Venetian merchants, but their royal capital, Venice.
A city on the water.
After Nock and Shakespeare entered the Kingdom of Venice in a carriage,
So he abandoned the carriage, changed his mode of transportation, and took a sailing boat.
Sailing boats travel between large and small rivers.
Maybe it's because I took the boat and didn't leave any smell on the land.
Knock and Shakespeare discovered that their pursuers were missing.
This discovery made both of them breathe a sigh of relief.
It was finally safe, and Knock was also frightened by Phillip's madness.
He actually dared to summon so many Dark Familiar and massacre under the eyes of the Holy Court.
Eight, if not ten, villages were destroyed along the way.
One person in the town was slaughtered and half of it was destroyed.
Now that he was finally free from this madman, Nok suddenly felt like he was finally alive.
In this way, after drifting along the river for two days, the two came to Venice, the famous water capital.
After changing to the "Gondola", a unique means of transportation in Venice,
The two of them successfully entered the floating city.
"Gondola" is a small boat with two pointed ends that can travel quickly through Venice's unique waterways.
You can also change the direction of travel directly without turning around, which is very convenient and convenient.
But most importantly,
The city of Venice is criss-crossed by hundreds of waterways, and hundreds of bridges connect the waterways.
The waterways are built between downtown and residential areas. They are narrow and dense. Only this special "gondola" can
In order to meet the access needs of residents and tourists.
Without the pressure of escape, Knock and Shakespeare discussed and decided to rest in this beautiful city for a while.
While recovering from physical fatigue, you can also inquire about the current situation.
Look at the response between the Holy Court and Dracula, whether there is any conflict, etc.
Also to find out if the road going south is safe.
After all, it is less than a month before the election of cardinals.
Although Knock was not a candidate for Cardinal, he was named by the Holy Court to report to the Holy Court during that time.
If you fail to arrive in time, it will definitely leave a bad impression on the senior officials of the Holy Court.
Knock also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Philip's pursuit and hurry up.
But no matter how hard he rushed, Nok decided to relax for two days to relax his tense nerves.
By the way, take a look at the local customs and customs of Venice.
The two found a particularly romantic floating hotel to stay at.
The kind in the room where you can directly lift up the floor to fish.
But Nock felt that every household in Venice should have this structure.
The so-called floating hotel is just a gimmick.
But the cost of accommodation is twice as expensive as hotels in other cities.
Is he really worthy of being a merchant of Venice?
The method of ripping off customers is simple and neat.
Especially at dinner time, Knock saw the stinginess of the Venetian merchants.
Accommodation fee worth twenty silver coins per night, not including dinner, dinner for two silver coins.
There was only a two-finger-sized saury and a piece of dry bread, not even jam.
Finally there is a jar of water.
This is Knock's dinner.
And there is also the burden of Shakespeare.
In this way, Nok would have to spend half a gold coin for one night.
With such a price, Nok felt that it was almost worth staying in Taose Town for one night.
After all, Nok only spent one gold coin and ten silver coins that night.
Ten silver coins are the room accommodation fee, and one gold coin is the private room service fee for flowers.
But here, with just two saury, two pieces of bread, and two narrow beds,
It’s only half a flower!
That’s right, accommodation is not charged by room, but by person!
No matter how many people live in a room, they charge per person.
But you want to divide rooms according to head, sorry, it’s impossible!
Love can't live! In Venice, you can’t even sleep on the streets!
