When he landed again, Uriel felt that the wound on his waist began to ooze blood again. His fingers were filled with stone fragments, and his cloak was torn open by a spear. Both men were in shock. The Demon Hunter was still charging towards the end of the road. Only then did he have time to calm down and saw a figure running at the front.
"It's the man in the square." Danlfien recognized it at once, "Devil!" She soon became frightened.
Because the guy looked back, his unhurried look gave Uriel the illusion that he was watching them. Is it possible that my magic is no longer working?
Dandelphin also noticed, "Do you think he is looking at us?" She lowered her voice unconsciously.
"Don't make a sound. Even if he saw us, those demon hunters didn't." Uriel knew that the Paladins had just left not long ago, and both the Church Cross Knights and the Silver Eagle Legion were definitely looking for their Earl Lord. "He ran out of the alley." The apprentice, regardless of his injuries, pulled Danelfein to leave. Only a fool would stay here longer.
"There is a hole in the wall," said the count.
Uriel turned his head, and sure enough, right where they stayed before, at the height of the door frame, there was an opening penetrated by magic. "This is not a good time for peeping." Who cares about the pursuit of demon hunters and nameless ones? He would only say otherwise if it was Meimi who was being chased.
"That's a path." Danlfion reminded, "There is a hollow behind, and there is a path. We can't see outside, unless the other end is also penetrated by demons. You know what it leads to-"
"Maybe it's a secret passage left by the elves." Uriel didn't care what wonderful space it led to, "but now we don't have time to explore."
Dandelphine didn't care about Memie or the moon. She thought for a moment, "Maybe it was left by a werewolf."
These words convinced him immediately. Maybe I can look for clues from it. After all, Meimi was once the projection of Kamaria. Maybe from his own blood, he knows where he is going to be safest. "I'll tell you where it's going in the next second." Uriel decided to seize the moment. There was no easier way than to peek into the possibilities of the future.
Dandelphin took a second to frown, "What did you say? Have you been here?"
Uriel had no obligation to satisfy her rising desire for adventure, "No." The next second he told the count, "There is a gravel path inside, covered with wolf claw marks. The end is at a candy shop in the center of the city, which is temporarily out of stock. But there were many runes painted on the center of the floor.”
"You want to say there is a causal relationship between them?" The count actually followed his thinking.
"You don't want to ask me how I know?" the apprentice couldn't help but ask.
"Magic or divine magic, or did you use both?"
I should have known that it would be easier to deal with a guy who knows a little about the mysteries than a guy who knows nothing about it. Uriel found that Joey and even York could detect that his magic was unique, but in the eyes of Miss Delphine, it was not fundamentally different from the palms of their hands emitting light or making ice and snow. It's all a trick of the mystic anyway.
He rubbed his nose in frustration, "Yeah, simple magic." I know more magic than magic, although the Scroll of Oath doesn't let me use it frequently. "Are you still going in?" In Uriel's opinion, the countess would not be interested in the known answers to the mystery.
"The candy shop is nothing interesting, let alone there is no sugar in it." The Count replied, "I really want to drink some honey, but I won't go directly to the candy shop to buy raw materials."
I have never had honey in my life. Uriel almost rolled his eyes, why should I bring this troublesome young lady out? Just let her wait for her guards in the castle. "Then leave quickly, maybe the devil will come back and turn you into a corpse eater."
Suddenly a voice sounded above their heads: "I don't like killing people, I'm a doctor."
"That's great!" Uriel immediately turned around and raised his sword, chilling on the blade. Dandelphin even screamed and hid behind the apprentice, staring at the guy who interrupted with a wary and curious expression. "Stay away from us, sir! I'm no more troublesome than those demon hunters," he warned.
"You called me sir? I'm so grateful."
"You're welcome."
"Now it's your time to show your appreciation."
Uriel and Danlfion spoke at the same time.
Seeing that the figure on the edge of the wall had stopped inexplicably, he really rolled his eyes this time, "Can you just stop talking? You are a third-rate adventurer." The apprentice now didn't know whether she was brave or timid.
The count actually obeyed.
"..." Uriel never imagined that the last words would actually touch Danlfien, and he felt the wound aching again. The honorific title of earl lord is not as good as ridicule. What kind of weird value is this?
"I'm Hope, I mean no harm," the figure said. His face and body were not very clear in the snow. Uriel could vaguely see an unscabbed scar on the side of his nose, as if it was decorated with the nails or gloves of someone who punched him hard. The flesh was scratched. This kind of injury seems to be a big deal if treated, and it grows very slowly if left untreated, so the wound is likely to be difficult to heal.
"I am really a doctor." He lifted up his cloak, revealing a large pocket robe underneath and a nameplate with the church's certification logo. "Hope Ockham, a human race, lives in a clinic at No. 16 Sprout Street in Wynneworth."
He is also a decent person with a small amount of savings. "Now we have to change it to the Nameless One." The apprentice pointed out.
"This is a misunderstanding." Dr. Hope did not say it was an accident. "My profession is to extract teeth on the operating table, but one day I extracted five bad teeth for the patient. When I went back to get the cotton swab, I found that there was There were only three holes. And then it became one."
"Did you put the bad tooth back?" Danfion asked. The apprentice glared at her.
"Of course not, why would I do that?" The dentist was very troubled by her question. Normal people should be troubled. "I am a mysterious creature, but I can't make the faded teeth grow back. By the time I told the patient the good news, the poor man had already died suddenly."
"He must drink honey every day and don't brush his teeth before going to bed." Uriel put the blade of the sword close to the dentist's throat. "I sympathize with your experience... and your patient's. This is undoubtedly a medical accident. If If there is any misunderstanding that needs to be explained clearly, I suggest you turn yourself in at the Public Security Bureau."
"I know the director is a reasonable person." Dandelfein added. Uriel motioned for her to shut up again.
"No, that's actually what I did." Hope said with a bit of shame, "I made him grow teeth again, but this consumed a small amount of magic power in his body. He is an ordinary person and can't stand the torture. . But I didn’t realize that I had this ability before that. I think it’s because I’m a demon. Even if I’m not, there’s demonic power awakening in me.”
"What do you want?" Uriel couldn't help but ask. "Maybe you didn't tell a lie, but we can't help you." The Scroll of Oath told him that these were all true.
"Of course you have a way, kid. I need to hide from those demon hunters now, and I can't see you."
"Then how do you know -" he suddenly remembered the embarrassing scene when he met Joey upstairs at Knox Bar, "did you hear our voices?" There shouldn't be such serious loopholes in divine magic, otherwise We had already been caught out by the Paladin Commander in the castle.
"And only I can hear it," Hope said.
"The Nameless One has special powers." Danlfion whispered in Uriel's ear, "I think his magic is related to sound waves."
"Then he should have his teeth cleaned instead of extracted." The apprentice replied, "Is it difficult for you to keep quiet, miss? It was you who made him discover us."
"That's right," the dentist interrupted.
"It's none of your business, devil." Anyway, this was what the other party admitted first, so Uriel didn't see any problem in changing his name. "You are the fastest doctor I have ever seen, Mr. Hope. Even if I don't help, the demon hunters on horseback can't catch you. Or are they nearby?"
"I can run faster than a horse, but I eat less than a horse. I will be tired soon, and the demon hunter won't listen to my explanation then." The dentist explained, "As for the Sheriff's Department, Berti is here, let's see The city beneath my feet! The gods know where it has gone now, but I will never find it before I am too tired to run."
"You can go inside." Uriel pointed at the hole, then realized that the other party couldn't see him, so he knocked on the wall with the hilt of his sword. "Hide inside and wait until it's over. Then it has nothing to do with us whether you want to surrender or escape."
"The demon hunters have marked me with magic. I have no use hiding anywhere except to cover it with Gaia's magic. Come on, kid, I will die if they catch me. You won't look at this." An injustice happened, watching an innocent dentist being executed as a devil, right?”
"You have killed a man," the count said again.
"That's because I wanted to save him."
"It was his rotten teeth that saved him." Uriel corrected, "You are a devil, we can't help you." He felt like he was trying to reason with a kid.
"But I am a good devil, at least I didn't have time to do bad things." The dentist began to cry bitterly, "I saved hundreds of people, you can't take away my life just because of an accident. The Mysterious One can withstand my treatment, and I can help many people." By regenerating limbs, I can save the lives of many people. Please, sir, miss, think about your family and friends, how can any adventurer not be injured?"
This makes sense, and even if he is a demon, this doctor is more useful alive than dead. What's more, his experience made Uriel feel pity for him. But the apprentice still had to harden his heart. He had no time to take care of himself now: "I don't have the power to forgive your sins——"
"——But I can." Danlfien was no longer hiding behind him. The Earl of Ice, who couldn't learn to shut up, lifted up his skirt and announced to him: "We will help you this time, Hope. But you have to heal my companion's injury and you have to follow us. In short, you are not allowed to run around. "
