Under the cover of night, Ma Wei and others shuttled through the streets, avoiding the patrolling Knights of the Holy Silver Cross. Without the help of the coordinator, their speed slowed down a lot.
High in the sky, the four Anatole had already started a fierce battle with the demons, and the balance of victory did not tilt to one of them. The two sides fought back and forth, becoming almost evenly matched.
Paimon possesses Belial's Contract Holy Sword, which can resist most magic, but this is not the real reason for the balance of power. When escaping, Ma Wei occasionally observed the battle in the sky and found that Anatole did not use astrological magic at all. Even the stars have not called, He
No use of full strength at all!
On the contrary, the three gods of faith, Tilde, Seacula, and Seraphina, are fighting with all their strength!
Why does Anatole want to conserve his strength?
In addition to preventing more powerful enemies from appearing, He has other plans!
While running, Mavey suddenly shuddered, as if he was being stared at, and turned back sharply. Anatole was looking at him in the sky. When he noticed that Mavey was looking at him, Anatole immediately turned back. , knocking away the green bull Saiko who rushed in front of him.
Anatole has been paying attention to the direction of their escape!
He has no intention of letting himself go!
"Made!"
Cursing secretly, Ma Wei quickened his pace. After the patrol of the Knights of the Holy Silver Cross passed by, he immediately rushed out of the alley and stopped a carriage.
"You. What are you going to do!"
The coachman who was squatting on the street shivering and observing the battle in the sky suddenly saw a group of shadows soaked in blood and rain rushing out of the alley. He screamed in fear and subconsciously raised his hands to surrender, but then he thought about it. , he should run away!
When escaping, he did not forget to take his carriage with him. After all, this was what he relied on for survival. Without the carriage, he would be no different from death!
"Shh! Shut up!"
Levin covered the coachman's mouth, looked around, and after making sure that he did not attract the attention of the patrol, he said to the coachman: "I'll lend you your carriage!"
The coachman looked confused, as if he didn't understand what Levin was saying at all. Seeing the language barrier, the second prince, who was in a hurry to leave the city, took out a wad of coupons from his arms, stuffed them into the coachman's arms without counting them, and pointed. Pointing to the carriage, he pointed to the money: "Understood?"
"I understand!" Seeing the thick stack of tickets, the coachman suddenly smiled and said in Windsor: "Gentlemen, don't worry, I don't know anything."
"You speak Windsor?!"
"No, no, no." The coachman waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't say anything!"
"What would you say if someone checked your head through the carriage?"
"I just said that a group of men in black knocked me unconscious and took away the carriage! I don't know anything else!" The coachman reacted quickly and immediately found a reason.
"Oh, when did this happen and you still ask these questions!"
The second prince jumped on the car and saw that the car was full of fruits and vegetables. He hurriedly threw them on the road: "Let's go! If you don't go, it will be too late!"
Ma Wei and others stopped talking nonsense, jumped on the carriage, swung the reins, and rushed towards the port without looking back. The coachman who got the money straightened his back, walked slowly into the nearby tavern, and ordered a cup of butter beer. , a few sausages with wine, and watched the battle between gods and demons while drinking without any panic.
He had already thought about it. Running was useless. Where could he go?
If the gods lose, demons will rule the world. Will there be any good fruits for humans to eat by then?
In this case, it’s better to relax and drink some beer.
Compared with the poor people from poor families, what should be more worried are the noble men sitting in the palace.
As for who bought it just now. No, he robbed his carriage.
No matter what, it doesn’t matter!
Just get the money!
The carriage was speeding down the street and ran into a patrol of the Knights of the Holy Silver Cross before it had gone two streets. Archbishop Brandon immediately activated magic to block it and forcefully broke through.
A member of the Knights wanted to use magic to fight back, but was slapped on the head by the captain: "Idiot! We want to capture Nicholas von Manstein alive!"
"yes!"
"Hurry up! We can't let them leave Paris!"
The Knights of the Holy Silver Cross began to chase the carriage, and the number of people increased. After having the carriage, Ma Wei and the others no longer hid, and used the speed of the carriage to rush through the barriers one after another. In addition, Archbishop Brandon blocked them. There was no gap between us and the pursuers, but at least we were getting closer to the port.
Both parties had a tacit understanding not to kill anyone. It was one thing to break through the barrier and escape, but it was another thing to kill someone.
Smith, Stewart, the demon hunters, and the accompanying bishops and priests did not participate in this escape plan. The reason is very simple. Anatole's target is Mavey. As long as Mavey, Levin, Daniel, and Emma are likely to become If the person in charge escapes, it will ensure that the potion business will not be disrupted, and it will be safer for the rest to stay in Paris.
Port of Paris, Pier 1.
Joshua, who was left on the ship, was pacing back and forth on the deck. He received news that the Maveys would try to escape tonight. They started the steam engine in advance. As soon as the Maveys arrived, they would be able to escape immediately. .
There are also many members of the Knights of the Silver Cross patrolling the pier. They guard the Dickey's only boarding route to prevent anyone from 'slipping away'.
"captain!"
Suddenly, the sailor standing on the watchtower held up his telescope and shouted: "I see His Highness and the others! They are coming this way! There are dozens of pursuers behind them!"
Hearing that Ma Wei and others were approaching the port, Joshua immediately cheered up and quickly ordered the sailors to collect the anchors of the ship and enter the cabin to prepare.
Standing on the edge of the ship's side, Joshua had a straight face and the scar on his right ear was twitching slightly. He stared at the road into the port and kept saying "come on" and "come on" in his heart.
Amidst the neighing of the horses, a maroon horse rushed out of the corner and dragged the carriage into the road. Because the speed was too fast, the carriage tilted to the left, and the right wheel flew into the air. The second prince and others on the carriage quickly pressed on. When they reached the right side, there was a loud bang, and the hanging wheel on the right side fell to the ground, and everyone was almost thrown apart.
It was Levin who was driving the carriage. He did not have a driver's license, and there was no such thing as a driver's license in this era. His driving style had always been known for his life-threatening behavior, and when he was being chased this time, he slapped the horse's butt with all his strength.
When the Knights of the Holy Silver Cross who stayed at the pier saw the carriage approaching, they raised their arms and began to sing in a low voice. The stars in the sky twinkled, the stars connected, and the bright starlight cast towards the ground.
"Well!"
"What are you doing!"
"asshole!"
The chanting was interrupted. As the dagger pierced the waist, the members of the Holy Silver Cross Knights standing in the front row screamed. They looked at the indifferent companions behind them in disbelief, their eyes full of confusion, shock and pain. .
The sudden turn of events also shocked Ma Wei and others. The carriage came to a sudden stop. Several members of the Holy Silver Cross Knights who took action came over with blood-stained daggers, walked around the carriage, and stood in front of the pursuers: "Quickly go, We are Earl Stephens’ people!”
"Okay, thank you."
Bang bang bang!
A series of gunshots exploded at the pier. The frightened horses raised their front hooves high and rushed into the darkness without looking back. The gangsters who had just taken action fell into a pool of blood.
Looking back, I saw soldiers dressed as Guards appeared on the roof at some point. They raised their rifles, and the smoke from their guns had not yet dissipated. It was obvious that they had been in ambush for a long time.
After getting rid of the mole, Maria stood up from the roof. Under the moonlight, her black dress fluttered in the wind. She covered her lips with a fan and looked down at Ma Wei and the others, her eyes seeming to be smiling.
"Walk!"
After taking a deep look at her, Mavey picked up Yunia and rushed to the Dickey. With the high-spirited whistle, the Dickey sailed out of the pier, sank the enemy frigate that came to block it with one shot, and headed towards the Seine River. Head west.
On the deck, Mavey looked at Maria standing on the roof, who was also looking at him.
"You will agree"
As the Dickey drifted away, Maria withdrew her gaze, turned to the dark and deep river, and whispered: "You will definitely agree."
The sun was rising, and the wide river was extremely calm. Suddenly, a whistle sounded in the distance, and a warship roughly tore open the water and drove towards it at the fastest speed.
"Report!"
The sailor on the watchtower stared with bloodshot eyes and shouted: "Captain! We got rid of the pursuers!"
Wow——
The crew cheered. They rampaged all night, sank two pursuing frigates, and got rid of the Knights of the Holy Silver Cross who were chasing on horseback. Now they were finally safe!
Joshua smiled rarely, but quickly recovered. He checked the chart and said: "We are now a hundred kilometers away from Paris. We only need to sail along the river for one day and one night to enter the sea. You’ll be safe wherever you go!”
"call"
Hearing this, the second prince breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the protruding cable pier on the deck. He had stayed up all night and did not dare to close his eyes for fear of being stopped.
Now that they have gotten rid of the last wave of pursuers, they can rest assured.
"captain!"
The lookout soldier's slightly panicked voice came from above his head. He held up his binoculars and stared at the water below, his tone full of doubts and unconfidence: "There seems to be something in the water!"
"what?"
"I don't know, it seems like I'm just blind."
The lookout soldier was also a little unsure. He had just seen a black shadow passing downstream of the river, and it disappeared in an instant. He thought that he was either too tired or dazzled, or it was a fish.
It’s normal to have fish in the river!
The words of the watchman caught the attention of Ma Wei and others. In the age of gods, any suspicious things cannot be ignored, because you cannot afford the consequences of making mistakes!
After taking the harpoon and coming to the side of the boat, everyone cautiously stuck their heads out and looked towards the water. The sunlight shone on the river's surface, making it a bit dazzling, making it impossible to see clearly what was going on underwater.
After observing for a while and seeing nothing unusual, Archbishop Brandon also relaxed his vigilance and said to Ma Wei: "It should be fine. I guess the watchman saw it wrong."
Wow!
Suddenly there was a sound of water splashing from the other side of the ship, and then someone shouted: "Falling into the water! Someone fell into the water!"
Everyone rushed over and found that the water was calm, only a wisp of bubbles rose, and the sailor who fell into the water had disappeared.
Joshua's body was shocked. The sailors on the ship were all Royal Navy. Not to mention that everyone was a good swimmer. At least they had enough ability to save themselves after falling into the water. Even if they lost their footing and fell into the water, they should have splashed twice. How could there be no splash at all? Splash?
At this moment, Yunia suddenly held Mavi's hand, and the magic wooden box in her arms began to vibrate violently.
"not good!"
Ma Wei shouted: "Stay away from the side of the boat! Quick! There is something in the water!!!"
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow emerged from under the water, grabbed a stunned sailor, and dragged him into the river.
"Mermaid?!" Archbishop Brandon's expression suddenly changed. In a flash of lightning, he saw clearly what the other party looked like. He was a Siren!
"Why do mermaids appear in freshwater basins?!" The second prince screamed strangely.
"They are coming for us!" Ma Wei looked gloomy: "We captured their kind near Mermaid Island, they are here to seek revenge!"
The Siren tribe is an extremely vengeful race. If you offend them, if you don't pay the price or have enough confidence, it is best not to go near the sea for the rest of your life. They are like snakes, they will secretly follow you and remember your memory. Smell and look.
Before coming to Paris, Archbishop Brandon captured three mermaids. This behavior undoubtedly angered the Siren tribe. They most likely followed the Dickey until they suddenly launched an attack when everyone was at their weakest!
Due to their racial characteristics, the Sirens are not suitable for living in freshwater basins. Freshwater is no different from poison to them, but even so, they still swim into the freshwater area and ambush Ma Wei and others.
"Don't panic! Don't panic!"
Archbishop Brandon steadied the sailors on the boat, looked around, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
If they were fully armed on the way to Paris, he was the only one left at this moment.
The priest, bishop, demon hunter, and saint on board are all gone!
They are still in Paris!
Although he was the only one left, Archbishop Brandon did not lose motivation. He took two deep breaths, held the scepter tightly, and after regaining his composure, sneered: "As long as you have the support of the goddess, it's nothing to deal with a few mermaids!"
After speaking, he put his fingers between his eyebrows and began to chant in a low voice. The goddess responded to him as expected, and infinite power began to flow into his body.
Archbishop Brandon opened his eyes suddenly, raised his scepter high, and released his magic power. Circles of golden ripples spread out. The mermaids waiting for opportunities under the river were immediately dispersed and fled in all directions screaming!
The golden ripples bloomed in circles, like golden epiphyllums, combined with the sunshine, and were extremely beautiful. But gradually, the ripples became smaller and smaller until they disappeared.
The second prince blinked: "Why did you stop?"
Archbishop Brandon's mouth twitched twice and he looked up at the sky: "The shielding magic has been turned on and Anatole has turned on the shielding magic!"
"What?!"
The second prince screamed: "Anatole is coming?!"
"I'm afraid so."
Archbishop Brandon looked extremely ugly:
"The shielding magic is turned on again, which means Anatole has expelled the demon in Paris. He will definitely catch up!"
