Chapter 143 142. Who doesn't want to live
"...After all, I was once a knight beside Baron Sidney. I did this only to fulfill the duties of a reserve knight. I don't expect you to give me anything. I only hope that you can help me keep this secret..."
While He Boqiang was talking, he found a door on the overturned magic caravan. He and Miss Hathaway moved Beatrice to the door panel, and the two walked in through the lifted roof of the magic caravan. He Boqiang asked Miss Hathaway to stay outside, and set up a temporary altar for the sacrificial ceremony inside the collapsed carriage, offering a head of an evil spirit to the gods and demons, and blessed Beatrice with the "Blessed Body" ', and then re-blessed the 'Shield of Blessing' for himself.
Not long after, He Boqiang walked out of the caravan.
Miss Hathaway stood outside with a nervous face, and she was slightly relieved when she saw that He Boqiang came out and there was nothing unusual.
He Boqiang helped to lift Beatrice out, and Hathaway couldn't wait to walk into the collapsed carriage, and saw that Beatrice's face was much rosier when she was unconscious, and the wound on her chest was obviously half-healed state, looking at He Boqiang in surprise.
The two carried Beatrice, who looked slightly better, out of the magic caravan.
At this time, He Boqiang discovered that the red-haired female swordsman had already left the magic caravan with several companions, and was about to turn over the hill, becoming a member of the fleeing army towards Handanal County.
On the side of the magic caravan, only the noble knight with a broken leg and the craftsman who wanted to fight the evil spirits to the death were left.
Miss Hathaway put down the door panel, looked at the group of female swordsmen leaving, her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, and she said angrily, "How could Darcy Christie leave us like this..."
The noble knight sitting on the grass seems to know Miss Hathaway, and also the red-haired girl named Christie. He looked calm and said to Hathaway:
"I told them to leave, the evil spirits will come back soon, there is no need for them to stay and accompany us in our adventure."
He looked at Beatrice, whose injury had stabilized, and said to Hathaway:
"It's not safe here, you'd better leave as soon as possible. Fortunately, this Mr. Knight still has a horse. If you two change trains all the way, you should be able to return to Handanal County smoothly, but you two must take the horse with you. Beatrice? With such a serious injury, she may not be able to ride a horse, and if you take her with you, you are destined to not be able to walk too fast..."
He hesitated, and whispered to Hathaway:
"She might drag you down..."
Hearing what the noble knight said, Hathaway's face suddenly turned pale, and she shook her head repeatedly and said:
"But she is my friend, I can't leave her here, I promised to take her to see the Warsaw plane, and I also agreed that we will return to Bena province together."
In fact, He Boqiang knew very well in his heart that if he took Miss Hathaway to continue his escape, he would be able to avoid these evil spirits in all likelihood. As the noble knight said, two people and one horse, It's much better than most fleeing warriors in the wilderness, after all, there is a horse.
But if you bring this unconscious Beatrice, not to mention whether she can survive the bumps on the horseback, I am afraid that the two of you will be in danger.
Just seeing that Miss Hathaway was very determined to take her friends and flee together, in front of those clear eyes, He Boqiang felt that he could not say the words of abandoning her companion on the way no matter what.
The noble knight also understood the expressions of the two of them. Sitting on the grass, he waved to He Boqiang and said, "You must leave as soon as possible. I am here with this Mr. Craftsman, and I can help you for a while."
As he spoke, he clenched the exquisite knight's long sword beside him.
When the noble knight said this, his expression was very calm, it seemed that he was ready to die.
At this time, the craftsman squatting aside and rubbing Paglio's spear with a whetstone suddenly said, "I have a way to get everyone out of here together, but I have a small request..."
Everyone was staring at him except Beatrice, who was in a coma.
His face was flushed, and he clenched Paglio's spear tightly with both hands. He hesitated, and his eyes were full of desire, and said to He Boqiang:
"I want to kill an evil ghost with my own hands, even if it's the last stab. I need a little merit to convince the officers of the Military Law Department that I didn't run away from the battle by surviving alone. I happened to go to the bathroom at that time. And I also want to give an explanation to those old guys who died in battle..."
The more he spoke, the less confident he became, and the more he spoke, the lower his voice.
He Boqiang did not expect that the reason why this craftsman wanted to fight to the death was that he would be sent to a military court when he returned to Handanal County. He was worried that he would be punished and executed. If he died like that, it would be better to die on the battlefield, at least Then you can get some pension.
However, if there is such a feat as the head of an evil spirit, it can at least wash away his guilt of running away. Who would want to die if he can live?
He Boqiang touched the head of an evil spirit from the belt behind him, and threw it to the craftsman like a watermelon, and said very frankly:
"Here! Take it, in fact it should belong to you, I hope this can help you."
The craftsman never thought that He Boqiang would give him an evil spirit's head so easily. The value of an evil spirit's head, even in Bena City, the capital of Bena Province, can at least be bought in a civilian area A townhouse with a yard.
He held the head of the evil ghost in his arms, not disliking the purple sticky blood stains on it at all. He put the head of the evil ghost in a cloth bag and carried it firmly behind his back. Then he stood up quickly. After holding Paglio's spear in his hand and pulling out a large wrench from the shelf of the magic caravan, his whole body glowed with a new spirit.
He quickly removed the undamaged axles and wheels from the overturned chassis of the magic caravan. He even casually tested whether the two metal magic rune plates embedded in some axles could work normally. The rune board was not damaged, so I couldn't help saying to everyone with joy:
"I'm a catapult repair craftsman. I can convert a flat cart right away. It's easy for me. In fact, we are lucky. At least we still have a horse, and this magic wagon has There are many parts that can be used, and I can see that the magic rune plates on the axles are also intact, thank Goddess..."
He was chattering non-stop while working, but his hands were not slow at all, constantly removing all usable things from the magic caravan.
He Boqiang also silently helped, dismantling and repairing it like this...quickly put together a flatbed truck.
The craftsman pulled out an extraordinarily fine-looking cashmere carpet from the compartment of the magic caravan. He cut off a whole piece with a knife and laid it on the cart. Then he unloaded a saddle from a dead horse and prepared to It was put on the chestnut red ancient Bolai horse, but the horse hid behind Suldak very vigilantly and never let him approach.
Finally, He Boqiang came forward to appease the war horse, put it on a saddle, and pull up the flatbed cart. Only in front of He Boqiang would the horse appear very quiet.
He Boqiang and the craftsmen lifted the unconscious Beatrice onto the flatbed cart, and helped the noble knight onto the flatbed cart.
He Boqiang pulled the reins of Gu Bolai's horse in front, and a group of five people rushed towards Handanaer County.
Perhaps because the 'Weight Loss' and 'Acceleration' magic rune plates on the axles were intact, this flatbed vehicle was very light to drive, and soon everyone mixed into the army of fugitives.
