Chapter 2724 of a hundred years of loneliness (twenty-one)

After the battle, the night became darker, and the surroundings were dark and dead.

"It's over." Verne put away the [Legion---Gun Formation], caught up and said: "I always think it's easier than I thought?"

"You are using the most advanced legion in the ivory tower, and you are facing ordinary knights in the Pope's Knights, more to less. If this kind of battle can't be solved easily, then the future is really worrying. ." Belle Tower also put away the [Legion---Black Witch] and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big sister is really strict." The kid grinned.

"Stay vigilant." Arthur lit a torch, "Verne, continue to use your vision to be alert, beware of possible ambush in the town."

This is actually just in case, even Arthur himself doesn't think there might be an ambush in the town. If the church really had an ambush, it would have already rushed out to help in the battle just now, so there is no need to wait until now. And no one is stupid enough to lie in ambush in a small town where the Black Death is spreading.

"What do I do next? Stay overnight?" Verne asked again, looking in the direction of the town, but never looked away.

"Go and grab the empty boat left by the church. Use that boat to cross the sea and talk to the island opposite. If necessary, stay on the boat for the night." Arthur said: "The town here is the black death epidemic area. I don't want to stay any longer."

Arthur himself was immune to the Black Death, but it would be very troublesome if a rat came out of an infected area and bit someone.

"But, can anyone steer a boat?" Belleta asked, "Looking at the wind direction, it doesn't look like you can use the sail to reach the opposite island. The current is not right either. Row? A boat that big, just you two little boys paddling?"

Arthur gave Belletta a sullen look: "Why don't you count yourself in the labor force?"

"I hate it, she is a slender and powerless lady, you actually want me to do that kind of heavy work?" The witch pretended to be a lady.

Arthur shook his head, holding back his outburst.

"But seriously. How do you row a boat across the sea?" Belleta asked, "It's absolutely unrealistic to drive such a large boat with such a small number of people."

"I have my own way, don't worry," Arthur said. In fact, the method has already been figured out.

"If you need someone to paddle, count me in," said a voice suddenly.

Arthur drew his holy sword warily, complaining in his heart why Verne let strangers approach without prompting. But he followed the sound and found that the man was walking from the direction of the woods, which was exactly the opposite of the direction of the town.

That's still a father and son, people Arthur knows.

"Zuster." Arthur said happily: "What a coincidence!"

Appearing before Arthur is Johnny Zuster, a vampire hunter of the Myerson Brotherhood, and his son Joey Zuster. It has been three years since the last time we parted, and Arthur has traveled back and forth through time and space several times. The sense of confusion brought about by traveling through time and space made Arthur feel that he hadn't seen Zust and his son for decades.

"Are these two... vampire hunters?" Bayoretta asked curiously, but she should have known about the Brotherhood.

"People from the Myerson Brotherhood. My old friend." Arthur briefly introduced: "Why are you in such a place?"

"He came to investigate the Black Death," Johnny replied. This 20-something-year-old vampire hunter happened to be in his prime, and his body grew stronger than he remembered. His muscles were so full that he couldn't hide his short-sleeved casual clothes: "The Brotherhood will have a base. In Corsica, the plague broke out and the entire base was wiped out. It was a disaster."

"The two of you are all right, it's a blessing in misfortune." Arthur glanced at little Zuster's son again, Joey grinned, and seemed to be in good spirits.

"We investigated Corsica and went north all the way. We thought we could find survivors here, but we didn't expect the town to perish, and a group of knights from the church were still entrenched." Johnny continued: "It seems that They are also investigating the Black Death. For fear of causing trouble, we didn't get close. We only observed from a distance. Unexpectedly, you were fighting with the church people. So... Are you now an enemy of the church? , Lord Aslan?"

"Yeah. They stole Joan of Arc, and they're after me." Arthur replied indifferently.

"...do you want help?"

"From your standpoint, the Myerson Brotherhood shouldn't want to be hostile to the church, right?" Arthur shook his head and said, "Unless there is a reason to fight against the church, it's better for you not to intervene in this matter. "

"Um..." Johnny looked embarrassed.

"In other words, since the Black Death was not spread by the church, nor by you, is there anyone else secretly spreading this terrible disease?" Joey, who had been listening, suddenly said: "For example, A wizard or something."

The other party's words irritated Beyuleta, and the witch immediately clarified: "The Mage Association has nothing to do with this matter, and there is no need to do such a detrimental thing to others."

"So big sister is from over there. Got it." Joey stuck out his tongue.

"Idiot." Arthur glanced at Belle Tower and saw the stunned expression on the witch's face because of her miscalculation.

"Joey, it's so rude." Johnny Zuster taught his son, "It's not a gentleman's act to take other people's words."

"Hehe..." The child had no intention of repentance, sticking out his tongue and smirking.

"However," Beyuleta knew that her identity was revealed, but she still bit her head and continued: "Among the six great mages who defected from the ivory tower half a year ago, there is a mages who are proficient in necromancy and black magic. The name is [Fernandez]. At that time, his research had been spurned by the Mages Association, and it was only a matter of time before he was expelled from the Association. So the guy found the opportunity to defect. If anyone really uses mice as ambassadors There is no one but Fernandez who can do that."

"Where exactly is the Archmage Fernandez you said?" Arthur frowned and said, "Since he is a rebel and surrendered to the church, he must be in the sphere of influence of the Holy See now, right?"

"If considered reasonably, yes."

"Since he is a member of the Holy See, why did the Knights of the Pope not know about his actions and sent another person to check the situation in Corsica?"

"The Pope's Knights who came here are only people at the bottom, maybe they don't know the thoughts of the big people above, right?" The witch shrugged: "With such a huge organization, there will be many obstacles in the communication between the bottom and the top. Yes, there are also different factions within the Holy See, fighting against each other. It doesn't matter how they work. What matters is that the island of Corsica we were passing through this time was indeed attacked by the Black Death, which eventually led to an army of the Church appearing in Bastia, stand in our way. Don't you think this is not an accident, but a clever plan?"

"...Wait!" Arthur exclaimed: "You want to say that they let the Black Death spread across the island just to block our way, killing so many innocent people. They used their subordinates as consumables, and tricked them into coming here to hinder us? Has the Holy See gone crazy?"

"This is just a reasonable explanation based on the current situation." Belleta said, "No one knows what the truth is. Maybe the factional struggle within the church has made it very confusing. "

"...I can't pretend I didn't hear these words." When Arthur was talking to Beyuleta, Johnny's face turned ashen: "Lord Aslan, I still talk to you. Let's go together. The whole base of the Brotherhood was destroyed by the Black Death is a major event, and I have the responsibility to find out the murderer behind it. Tell me consciously that if you go with you, you will definitely find more clues."

"You can follow, don't attack the church." Arthur said coldly: "If you do, the Brotherhood will be implicated. I don't think the Myerson Brotherhood intends to go to war with the church at this stage. ."

"I'm on my own," replied the vampire hunter, "Don't talk about it. You need someone to help you paddle, right? Leave the manual work to me."

"Actually..." Arthur lengthened.

Ten minutes later, the group occupied the church's sailboat, and the four-winged angel knight golem had entered the cabin, put down their weapons, and started paddling.

"To misuse the precious Legion in such a place..." complained Belletta.

"Is there a problem? Wouldn't this level of labor exhaust the power of the golems?" Arthur asked.

"It will consume part of the magic power," the witch sighed: "This part of the magic power will be slowly replenished when the [Legion] is not used, and it has basically no effect."

"Then what are you complaining about?"

"But it's still not good for the next battle. What if another battle is to be fought soon and the Winged Angel's magic is not enough?"

"Tsk, woman." Arthur walked away quickly~IndoMTL.com~ too lazy to pay attention to Peyoretta.

The knight golems of [Legion---Angel with Winged Wings] usually operate "automatically", and usually switch between [automatic attack mode] and [automatic defense mode] during battle.

But they can actually be mind-controlled -- and they're now in [Override Precision Mode]. Every move of the four golems is controlled by Arthur's will, so Arthur is doing his best and is very troublesome. Fortunately, the paddling movements are monotonous mechanical movements that do not require particularly delicate operations to complete the task.

"There's nowhere I can help." Johnny Zuster said with a wry smile.

"You just rest. If you encounter a hostile force other than the church, maybe there is a place to help." Arthur said as he operated the rudder of the ship, like a captain.

"Oh oh oh, it's out to sea!" Joey and Verne both shouted from the bow of the boat, excited like a child (or a child) as they watched the ship move at breakneck speed. Bedivere, afraid of the two goblins falling into the sea, followed behind them (wagging his tail vigorously).

The boat broke through the waves and headed for Elba at full speed.
