Swish, swish, swish, swish. Rapid noises echoed in the woods. Although Betta was carrying a girl, he ran faster than Roland, who was empty-handed.
If Roland hadn't chased after him desperately, he would've been left far behind.
But even so, by the time they left the woods, Betta had already left him almost a hundred meters behind.
But when he reached the city, Betta stopped and kept panting. Because of the curfew, the city gate was closed, and he couldn't get in.
Roland caught up with her. Without wiping his sweat, he put his hand on the girl's nose and could still feel her faint breath. He breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the closed city gate and frowned.
"The gate … is not open!" Betta panted heavily, full of anxiety. "What do we do?"
He could also see that this girl was on the verge of death. If she could be treated as soon as possible, her chances of survival would be a little higher.
The soldiers on the city wall looked at Roland and Betta nervously.
Below the city walls, there were caravans and travelers who did not have time to enter the city. There were such people every day. They looked at the two young men who seemed to be important figures in surprise.
They didn't understand why one of them was carrying a naked girl.
Some bad associations took shape in their minds, but nobody stood out to uphold justice. Instead, they looked away and pretended that they didn't see anything.
"Open the gate!" Roland shouted to the soldiers on the city wall. "There's a girl here who's dying. She has to be treated immediately."
The soldiers on the city wall did see the girl in Betta's arms by the light of the fire, but they looked at each other and shook their heads without saying anything.
"She's really in danger. I know you have a rule that you can't open the gate at night, but can't you make an exception for once? At least open the gate a little and let one of us send the girl in. "
Roland's shout drifted away in the night wind, but the soldiers were still unmoved.
The dozens of merchants and travelers below the city wall, after hearing Roland's words, were relieved.
Two nobles who were willing to save people couldn't be bad people.
Roland waited for a while, but still didn't see any reaction from the soldiers above. He couldn't help but clench his fists.
Betta looked at the girl in his arms. He turned his head and said to Betta, "Why don't we force our way in?"
Although his voice was not loud, it traveled far in the quiet night.
The faces of the soldiers on the wall immediately changed, and many of them reached for their weapons.
But no matter how they looked at it, the person who spoke was a noble, so they didn't do anything too extreme.
If these words were spoken by a merchant or an ordinary traveler, the situation would be different.
Perhaps he had already been killed by a wave of arrows.
"Let me try again." As Roland spoke, he suddenly remembered what Gru said, so he shouted, "We're the Golden Sons, and we're only here to save people. You must've heard about the Golden Sons a while ago, right? If you don't want us to hold a grudge against you, then open the door. If you don't have anyone who can make the decision, then pass the message to your superior. I think your superior should be on the wall. "
Golden Sons!
The soldiers on the city wall looked at each other in bewilderment. As soldiers, they had naturally heard about the conflict between two Golden Sons and a powerful noble.
They didn't have the guts to offend a monster that could resurrect after being killed.
"I'll give you five minutes. If you can't come up with a result in five minutes, we'll force our way in. Don't blame us for being too ruthless."
At this moment, Roland was already surrounded by four balls of light, but to enhance his persuasiveness, he summoned his mental power and threw a blue fireball directly at the uninhabited area behind him.
Under everyone's gaze, the fireball flew more than a hundred meters and exploded.
It directly caused a black crater two meters deep and about three meters in radius, and there were flames burning on the ground.
Such power was indeed enough to blow up half of the city gate.
Everyone who saw this scene broke out in a cold sweat. Magic was too terrifying for them.
At this moment, a young man who looked like an officer finally appeared on the city wall. He looked at Roland, then at Betta, and asked expressionlessly, "How can you prove that you're Golden Sons?"
"Do you want me to die once for you to see!" Roland sneered. "Of course, after I'm resurrected, the first thing I do is come back to kill you, a life for a life, how about that?"
The young officer felt a toothache. Who would want to trade a life for a life with a monster that could be resurrected?
"Okay, you can come in!" The officer shouted to the surrounding soldiers. "Open a small gap for them, and archers, get ready. Other than the two Golden Sons, if anyone else dares to break in, kill them all!"
Hearing this, both Roland and Betta breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, the city gate creaked and opened a small gap, and Betta and Roland flashed in. Roland grabbed a soldier who was responsible for opening the gate with one hand and asked, "Which way is the Church of Life?"
"Northeast city!" As the soldier spoke, he looked at the girl in Betta's arms and suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't this Lisa from Old Vincent's family? What happened to her … Forget it, I'll take you there. "
The soldier hurriedly said to his colleagues, "You're responsible for closing the gate, I'll take the two sirs to the Church of Life."
With that said, the soldier dropped his weapon and ran forward.
Betta and Roland immediately followed.
Because of the curfew, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets, and the occasional people they saw were nobles traveling in carriages.
The nobles were not affected by the curfew.
The three of them ran very fast. Their footsteps echoed on the street, sounding like a heavy downpour.
About ten minutes later, the three of them ran in front of an enormous church.
The grayish-brown gate was closed, but yellow candlelight leaked through the gap at the bottom of the door.
The soldier rushed up and slammed the door hard, and Roland followed him.
Betta put his hand on the girl's nose to test it and shouted anxiously, "She seems to be out of breath, but her body is still a little warm."
F * ck!
Roland was so anxious that he was about to launch an Inferior Fireball at the gate, but at this moment, the door finally opened.
A middle-aged priest in a white robe opened the door gloomily. He was about to burst into anger, but when he saw Roland and Betta, his anger was immediately reduced by half. Then, looking at the girl in Betta's arms who looked like a corpse, all his anger disappeared. He waved his hand and shouted, "Come on in!"
They rushed into the church, and the middle-aged priest shouted, "Put her on the altar."
Betta put the girl on the stone in the middle of the prayer hall as he was told.
The middle-aged priest quickly stood in front of the stone and chanted a spell.
A bright green ball of light took shape in front of him and slowly fell into the girl's body.
The congealed blood on the girl's left chest began to grow granules, and the wound was gradually healing. Color seemed to return to her face too.
Then, the middle-aged priest turned around and extended his hand to Betta, saying, "Thank you, two gold coins."
