Xia Zuoyi was sent out by Segalot.

There are still three corpses lying across the corridor, with blood flowing everywhere. The smell in the air will inevitably be a little unpleasant.

“Walker.” 

Xia Zuoyi’s call made Walker, who was anxiously looking for him at the end of the corridor, instantly raise his eyes. His face immediately showed a surprised expression, and then quickly walked in his direction.

Segalot stood by the door, dressed in black as if to hide in the dark, deep and quiet.

Hidden in his right hand was the small bird whistle that Xia Zuoyi took off and handed to him. His fingertips slowly rubbed the finely carved patterns on it. He whispered softly, “I expect you to win in the end, Little Rose.”

Xia Zuoyi stepped towards Walker, involuntarily turned his head, and looked at Segalot’s slightly dim golden eyes at this time.

The latter smiled at him then turned back to the room.

The door closed slowly in front of Xia Zuoyi.

“My lord!” 

Walker quickly came to Xia Zuoyi’s side, and looked at his condition worriedly. He knelt down on one knee and carefully checked up and down, “Are you okay?!”

Xia Zuoyi returned to his senses and shook his head, “I’m fine, Walker. Let’s leave the church quickly.”

“Okay.”

Before Walker picked up Xia Zuoyi, he frowned and looked at the three corpses in the corridor and the closed door beside him…

Just now, there was someone standing behind the door talking to the earl…who was it?!

There’s no time to think.

The people of Bass Richards are still in the church. They have to get out of here quickly and leave the royal city to withdraw with the soldiers outside the city.

Xia Zuoyi asked Walker to take him to find Marco Case first.

When they returned along the route, they happened to meet Marquis Case who was fighting with the royal knights.

After the royal knights were dealt with, they were protected by soldiers, and a group of people went to kill outside the church.

Segalot returned to the room and looked at Bishop Bolton and the deputy bishop indifferently.

Playing with the delicate bird whistle in his hand, he said carelessly, “How much money and benefits did Bass Richards gave you to join in this royal murder together?”

Bishop Bolton’s face was full of cold sweat. His lips trembled a few times before he could complete his words. Later, he begged for mercy, “Mian, mianxia, ​​please forgive me…” 

The deputy bishop was also paralyzed due to fear.

Segalot, “You allowed Bass Richards to create a murderous blood-stained statue in the church, turning a deaf ear to the holy will of the Holy See.”

“In accordance with the provisions of the dogma, they should be deprived of their status, removed from their posts, and punished with death.” 

“No! No, no…”

The deputy bishop backed away pale and fearful, trying to escape from this room like a death prison.

He wants to get up from the ground and rush out of the door, but he is not as fast as the black robed man standing on the side like a sculpture. He’s grabbed by his hair and dragged to Segalot’s feet mercilessly.

Segalot’s brows were light, and he said “hands”.

“Mianxia, ​​forgive me…”

Before the deputy bishop had finished speaking, the black-robed man slashed his neck with a knife. Blood spurted out instantly, and a string of patterns bloomed on the ground.

Bishop Bolton knelt to the side and stared in horror, watching the deputy bishop struggle in vain to cover his neck, and finally fall to the ground without a sound.

The black-robed man walked towards him with a blood-stained machete.

Bishop Bolton shuddered.

He didn’t want to die like this. Flustered, he took out a dagger from his robe and waved at the man in black robe. He tried to seize the opportunity to escape from the room when the man in black robe dodged.

However, he can only be regarded as a lamb panicking, hopeless.

But a moment later, he was stabbed in his chest by the man in black robe, and died in front of the door. He swallowed his last breath with his eyes open.

“Mianxia.” 

The black-robed man’s dull and low voice sounded, “Is it necessary for the church of Keys to stay?”

Segalot put away the bird whistle in his hand and said indifferently, “It’s not necessary.”

“Yes, mianxia.”

The church in the royal city of Keys suddenly ignited in fire.

The fire was fierce.

It gradually spread from the second half of the church, and the fighting was forced to stop. Everyone inside fled quickly away from the danger.

The fire also bought time for Xia Zuoyi and others.

They successfully escaped from the siege of the royal knights, and took Marco Case into a hidden place for the time being.

“Walker, medicine.” Xia Zuoyi said.

Marco Case’ back injury is a bit serious.

Because of the constant action, it dragged the wound, now it’s constantly oozing blood, and his face became paler.

Walker hurriedly took out the ointment from his armor, neatly bandaged Marco Case, and said, “Lord Marquis, Bass Richards has completely taken control of the royal city. The knights who threaten you in the church are just part of it.”

“He must be dispatching other knights in the royal city now. You can’t stay here any longer, or you will be in danger. Leave with us…”

Marco Case heard this and shook his head to interrupt him, “No, my son Nate is still here. I can’t go.”

Xia Zuoyi, “Then find Nate Case.”

He asked, “Walker, what about Udit, Taylor, Barnard, and the others?”

Walker, “Butler Udit and Barnard sneaked out of the city to contact another team of soldiers to meet us outside the city at any time.”

“Taylor took Keith William and led my father and some royal knights away…”

Otherwise, it will take him some time to break into the church.

Walker seemed to think of something, “By the way, there were also many clergymen who prevented us from entering the church.”

“Later, I didn’t know why, and all of them suddenly withdrew.”

Xia Zuoyi understood why.

He talked about what happened at the back of the church, “…Someone who can make the bishop and the deputy bishop kneel on the ground and look scared…I don’t think there will be anyone else but the Pope.”

“What’s more, Udit once told me the rumors about the Pope.”

“I heard that he was born in the Holy See in the St. Airo Empire. When he was born, When he was born, the sacred flower belanka planted in the Holy See all bloomed and never withered for a long time.” 

“It’s rumored that this is the blessing of the Creation God to him, the current Pope Augsig.”

The full name of the Pope is—Segalot Wordsworth Augsig.

Xia Zuoyi said, “He’s the same age, and he’s followed by people in black robes…I saw a little golden piece of armor exposed under the black robe…”

He caught a glimpse of the man in black as he was fighting in the corridor with the three knights who were after him.

Marco Case couldn’t help nodding, “They should be the golden knights who follow the Pope. They’re all skilled and are responsible for protecting the safety of the Pope.”

“The Earl is right. What happened when the Pope was born was real.”

“The Pope was deeply blessed by the God of Creation, and from his childhood he revealed something special that was different from ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not have inherited the Holy See at a young age and had great prestige.”

Walker didn’t expect that Lord Earl would meet the Pope in the church of Keys.

He couldn’t help being thankful from the bottom of his heart. Because of this, Lord Earl would be safe before he found him.

Although they don’t know why the Pope came to Gadaat.

But the most important thing right now is to leave the royal city of Keys as soon as possible.

If Bass Richards led the knights to block the way out of the city, the situation would be even more critical.

Walker reached out to Taylor through the bird whistle.

Taylor and others held Keith William to restrain Harry William’s behavior, and kept moving in the direction of the city gate in accordance with the previously planned plan.

When Walker arrived with Xia Zuoyi and Marco Case, Harry William was already very angry and his face was sullen with anger. After seeing him, he almost ignored Keith William’s life.

Harry William, “Do you want to disobey your father for an outsider?!”

Walker, “You’ve done something wrong and I can’t make mistakes along with you. Father, it’s still not too late to stop now…”

“What do you know?!” Harry William said angrily.

His cold eyes swept over Xia Zuoyi, “Walker, think about it clearly.”

“Do you really want to fight against His Grace for an irrelevant person?!”

Walker frowned and said nothing.

But he stood firmly behind Xia Zuoyi, his attitude was already obvious.

“Okay, you’re good at it…”

Harry William gritted his teeth, his hands shaking with anger.

But he can’t do anything, because Keith William is still in the other’s hands.

Just now.

Bass Richards finally arrived with a team of knights.

The royal knights wore armor, and walked with a heavy, cold, and oppressive momentum… In the background is the empty city streets, civilians and slaves are hiding in fear. The church in the distance is still burning… 

Keys was silent for a moment.

Bass Richards’ sharp and sinister eyes swept across Xia Zuoyi and others, he then raised his hand, and the two knights in the rear came forward holding a person’s arm.

“Damn, let me go.” The caught person kept struggling.

“Nate!” Marco Case shouted immediately, with a panicked expression.

It’s Nate Case that Bass Richards caught.

Nate Case, worried about his father Marco after seeing the church on fire, went to look for him. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Bass Richards’ men.

The strength of the knights holding him were so strong that Nate Case’s face was crumpled.

“Let go of him!”

Marco Case accidentally pulled the wound on his back because of his emotions. His face became paler and weaker.

Bass Richards, “If you want me to release him, let’s exchange.”

He raised his chin and pointed to Keith William.

Xia Zuoyi agreed, “Exchange, but not here…”

They have to go to the gate, otherwise once they lose their hostages, it will be more difficult for them to escape from the guarded city.

“Your Grace.” 

Harry William’s eyes were eager. He had to save Keith.

Bass Richards’ face was gloomy.

But still in accordance to Xia Zuoyi’s statement, the two sides slowly retreated not far from the city gate.

Xia Zuoyi called Walker.

Walker raised his hand, and the soldiers behind him blew sharp bird whistles. Under the ugly expressions of Bass Richards and others, the bird whistles echoed and conveyed information.

Keys’ city gate opened with a “roar”.

Udit and Barnard confronted the knight guarding the city gate in front and stood in battle.



Xia Zuoyi said, “Now change people, one with another.”

Taylor said, “My lord, I’ll go.”

Xia Zuoyi nodded.

Marco Case clenched his fists anxiously.

As the two sides walked slowly over, Keith William glanced at Harry William without a trace.

After they came to each other, Keith William suddenly violently broke free from Taylor’s restraint, but Taylor also reacted quickly, and when he found that he could not be pulled back, he immediately snatched Nate Case.

Taylor kicks away the knight who is holding Nate Case and pulls him back as fast as he can.

However, Harry William shouted at this moment, “Archer, shoot!”

Arrows shot at them from the hidden corner… 

The stale atmosphere was instantly broken, and the two sides fought each other. The smell of cold blood is spreading.

Taylor can’t stand it alone, and if he wants to take Nate Case with him, there will inevitably be omissions between his actions… When they’re about to meet, an arrow came towards Nate.

“No!”

Marco Case’ speed was not like a wounded person at all. He rushed in front of Nate Case before everyone else could react.

Nate Case opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, “Father!”

Xia Zuoyi immediately shouted, “Walker, Taylor, bring them back!” 

The chaos continued.

The soldiers led by Udit and Barnard almost instantly solved the knights guarding the gate and came to support.

Fortunately, Bass Richards didn’t prepare many archers, so they were out of range after a certain distance.

Therefore, under the cover of the soldiers, Xia Zuoyi and others quickly left the royal city.

“Chase! Can’t let them leave Keys!”

“Yes, Your Grace.”
