Rafati, Gossett and the other night watchers quietly returned to Aalto with the night watchers. The city in the dark was still as quiet as when they left.
At this time, Vera Amelton suddenly stopped in the air and turned around, "Salvatore, take your night watchers to Melzer Black Forest to help Ms. Camil find the princess." Vera Amelton was the head of the Inquisition in Orvarit.
Before Salvatore answered, Count Hayward, the deputy commander of the Violet Knight Legion, asked in surprise and concern, "What happened to Her Royal Highness?"
Amelton answered emotionlessly, "It's said that Verdi colluded with the Congress of Magic to assassinate the princess. Right now, Her Royal Highness is hiding in the Black Forest, and Ms. Camille is looking for her."
Rafati and Hayward asked at the same time, "Is the information accurate? Is it really Verdi's rebellion? "
The other nobles who went to Elsinore Lake were also surprised, but they were not surprised by the fact that Verdi tried to assassinate Natasha.
"Grand Cardinal Sardes just told me." Amelton told them the source of the information, and Hayward and the other nobles were no longer doubting her.
Therefore, Hayward said with a gloomy face, "I'm going to help find Her Royal Highness as well."
Although he looked like a young man in his twenties with blonde hair and blue eyes, he was actually more than 160 years old. He had been through countless battles and conspiracies. Now, he sensed that something was not right. It did not seem to be a coincidence that they went to Elsinore Lake.
Salvatore replied, "Your will is our will, Lord Bishop. I will lead the team and set off right away. Only the truth lives forever. "
"Only the truth lives forever." Amelton drew a cross in front of her chest.
…
In Melzer Black Forest, with Alan's special Blessing, it did not take long for Todd and Rafati to see the damaged Hag Aloe Vera.
"They use Hag Aloe Vera here to stop the bleeding and remove the smell." Todd was also trained as an orthodox Knight. "Aaron, can you tell where they ran to?"
Alan checked the traces left in the shadows nearby. His neatly trimmed mustache moved a little. "Lord Baron, the shadows tell me that they didn't leave."
"They didn't leave …" Todd cautiously looked around with his sword in hand. Then, he realized something. "They left with the help of the river!"
Ghost Nanny Aloe Vera grew near water sources, so there was a moderately sized river that meandered towards the Masol River. According to Todd's speculation, the two people they were chasing were simply floating in the river. "Their ability to shake us off is very strong, and they have the advantage of the terrain of the Black Forest, but we still got closer and closer to them. This may have made them suspicious, suspecting that we have a unique tracking method. "
Alan looked serious. "I can't communicate with the shadows when I'm in the water." He was not a great Knight yet, so he could not use the shadows underwater.
Todd did not panic. Instead, he smiled and said, "The speed of a Knight is very different from the speed of the current. If they keep floating, we can catch up with them very soon. But if they go ashore, they'll definitely leave traces. Let's split up and follow them on both sides of the river. "
"But it's a waste of time …" Alan knew that it would be very troublesome to search carefully for traces of the enemies coming ashore, but he and Todd were not sorcerers, so they could only rely on this stupid method.
Todd leaped to the other side and said, "Don't worry. Our injuries are light, and we're much faster than them. We have the advantage, so a little delay is nothing." His nose and mouth, which had been cut in half by Wayne, had almost recovered.
They started to search carefully along the river.
…
In Melzer Black Forest.
Lucien and Natasha did not stay in the river for long. Then they quickly left and continued to run deeper into the forest.
"Lucien, you look so embarrassed." Natasha was lying on Lucien's back and teased him. Although her Knight suit was badly damaged, it was made of high-quality materials, so she was not as embarrassed as Lucien was. Her long purple hair was still wet, and it made Lucien's neck a bit itchy.
Lucien looked at his black robe, which was still dripping with water. He used a strange plant that looked like dry grass to clean up the dripping water. Lucien was a bit worried, "I don't think we can completely get rid of the enemies behind us."
In fact, there were several special spells in the first circle that could help with drying clothes and cleaning up traces. However, Lucien was too focused on analyzing Starlight Shield and Magic Missile. It was too late for him to learn them now.
"They must have a unique tracking method. I'm afraid that we can't completely get rid of them. What we need to do now is to buy some time for me to recover. " Natasha was very clear-headed. She did not answer blindly, "I know all the Knights around Verdi, and I know their Blessing power. Unless they have the help of magic items, they can't do this. So it's very likely that it's one of the dark Knights that Verdi has secretly recruited. Maybe when I recover, we can launch a counterattack and kill the dark Knight who is good at tracking!"
"But we can't be sure how powerful the Knight behind us is. What if it's Todd? What if it's a magic item? "Lucien analyzed calmly and corrected Natasha's habit of taking risks.
Natasha raised her purple eyebrows, "But don't you think that they're getting closer and closer to us? If we don't do anything, do we just wait for them to catch up with us? " Lucien did not need a strong intuition to know that they were getting closer and closer. He could tell from the fact that they had not gotten rid of the traces and the strength of the two parties.
"We need to be more confident." Lucien looked at the stars that were about to disappear in the sky and the surroundings. He roughly determined where they were, so he adjusted his direction, "At least until you recover the strength of an ordinary Knight."
Natasha did not notice the slight change in Lucien's expression. She focused on checking her own physical condition and said, "The most serious phase of the Blessing power backfire has passed, but I'm still badly injured. I may not be able to recover the strength of a Knight until the sun rises. By the way, Lucien, apart from the magic items, did you get any potions or materials in the relics? " She began to confirm every possibility. Lucien went to the relics to look for potions that could improve his strength as a Knight. Maybe he got some healing potions or something along the way.
"Are the materials useful?" Lucien hesitated for a moment and asked.
Natasha nodded solemnly, "Many materials have the ability to heal themselves. Although there may be serious poisoning or all kinds of sequelae without alchemy treatment, I'm a Great Knight. I shouldn't die directly. As long as I can get rid of the tracking, it doesn't matter even if I can't move for months. Hehe, Lucien, you can't just eat random things like me. "
Lucien took a breath softly and took out the ether, the sprite's hair, the burning powder, the vampire's blood and so on. He showed them to Natasha, "I got them from the sorcerer's storage room." Lucien was quite nervous when he told the lie.
Seeing the materials, Natasha was silent for a moment. Then she leaned her head on Lucien's shoulder and smiled, "There are really usable materials. Both the ether and the vampire's blood can be healed, and the vampire's blood is especially effective." Her laughter was hearty and clear, as if she did not have any doubts.
The two materials were the materials for the powerful healing potion, Water Song. Lucien was not surprised that they had such abilities. He just asked concernedly, "Will there be any sequelae?"
Natasha directly drew out the glass tube that contained the vampire's blood, "The ether is effective in healing, but it's not very useful for me. The vampire's blood, on the other hand, will have sequelae that will last two months to half a year after the blood is burned, and it will be more afraid of daylight. " She took off the cork and sniffed it softly. Then her voice became excited, "This is the blood of a high-level vampire. A legendary sorcerer's collection is really great!"
"Can it heal you?" Natasha did not explicitly mention the danger and pain of the blood burning, and Lucien did not ask, either. It was completely irrelevant to ask these questions at this moment.
Natasha took a deep breath, "Normally, I can only recover to the level of a common Knight. But if I activate the special power of my blood again, I can temporarily recover the strength of a common level five. But in three minutes at most, I will fall back to the previous state of weakness, and I won't be able to recover in a day or two."
Lucien heard the eagerness in Natasha's voice, "You want to fight back against the enemy behind you."
"Without Todd, three minutes is enough for me to kill all the Knights who are following me." Natasha's tone became gloomy, but then she chuckled, "But in the future, Lucien, I'll have to ask you to carry me on your back like this."
"But what if it's the grand Knight Todd?" Lucien calmly proposed other possibilities for Natasha.
Natasha chuckled, "By then, I'll distract Todd and the other grand Knights, and you'll kill all the common Knights with the Thunder Sword. In this way, we won't need to worry about being followed when we run away again."
Lucien turned his head and looked at Natasha who was leaning on his shoulder. Her purple eyes were bright, and her lips were slightly pursed. There was no telling what she was thinking. Lucien shook his head and smiled, "You distract the grand Knight without the Thunder Sword. It seems that you're not going to come back. You're going to sacrifice yourself to create a chance for me to escape."
Natasha raised her head abruptly as if she was startled. She laughed awkwardly, "Of course not. I cherish my life very much. It's mainly because you don't have the Thunder Sword. You won't be able to defeat the common Knights, and I'm just going to distract them, hide, and come back. I don't necessarily need a level five weapon. Vigilance can also be used. "
"It's too dangerous." Lucien rejected her suggestion, "You take the Thunder Sword. Later, we'll go to a place and wait. As long as there are no more than five common Knights chasing after us, I'm very confident that I can kill them all."
"Lucien, are you sure?" Natasha asked in surprise.
Lucien turned his head to let her see the serious and serious expression on his face, "I also cherish my life very much."
"Then I believe you." Natasha did not ask why. Her smile was very peaceful, which was rare for her. (To be continued.) If you like this novel, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
