Chapter 5 Escape

Mu Yun looked around the surrounding environment. This is an antique and elegant study room, everything is arranged in an orderly manner. A middle-aged man with gray temples is looking at him with his hands crossed on both sides of the chair.

"How are you doing here?" Foreman said slowly.

Mu Yun nodded and said: "Thank you very much for the care of the Lord and Miss, the time has been very good."

Foreman tapped the back of his right hand lightly with his left hand, "I am deeply sorry about your family's misfortune, and I have basically investigated what happened. My decision is to let you go to the Holy Church, and they will properly arrange your future life. , do you have anything to say?"

"Holy church? Those gods." Mu Yun couldn't help thinking, "It's time to leave too. I've been bothering you for so long. Let's see if the church can arrange to take me to Wangcheng. I read in the book that they claim to be believers in God. , I should be willing to help others." Nodding his head, Mu Yun said: "Thank you again for taking care of me during this time, and I will trouble you."

Watching the guards take Mu Yun away, Foreman narrowed his eyes, "So calm at such a young age, if it's not for amnesia, then I will definitely be able to do something when I grow up, but it's a pity that necromancers are involved, it depends on how the church handles it Well, but mostly..."

Walking on the streets of Falling Star City, it was the first time for Mu Yun to see the world outside the city lord's mansion. The sloping roofs and round pointed towers gave him a novel feeling, as if walking in a medieval European city.Under the sheds of the bungalows on both sides to shield the sun, there are all kinds of fruits and fresh food that have never been seen before, and Mu Yun is dazzled to see them.

"The fragrant and sweet night cantaloupe, I just picked fresh ones last night, there are not many left, just one five copper crystal coins~"

"Fresh milk, served with crispy hot muffins, instead of dinner, a good choice to maintain a slim figure!"

"Barbecue, barbecue, Patti beef just brought from the southern grasslands, the meat is delicious, ten copper crystal coins in a bunch, come and try."

The yelling on both sides of the street attracted Mu Yun's attention, making him move his index finger, thinking about whether to earn some money to taste the delicious food here after finishing the matter.

When they passed through an uninhabited alley, Mu Yun, who was walking in front, only heard a "bang" from behind. Turning his head to look, he saw a slender figure wearing a cloak leading his guards. He lay down on the ground, raised his head, and under the cloak was a familiar beautiful face, with big blue eyes looking at Mu Yun.

"Why are you here?" Mu Yun asked in surprise.

"Come with me, put this on, and talk as you walk." Celia put a veil on Mu Yun, and pulled Mu Yun to run towards the gate of the city.

"You mean that if you go to the Holy Church, you might be executed?" Mu Yun frowned after listening to what Seleya said while running.

"Well, because your family's extermination is related to necromancers, and you are studying spell runes, then the church is likely to associate them with necromantic runes, and those who study necromantic runes will be classified as heretics by them. It's time for you to end..."

This is too coincidental, right?Mu Yun turned to look at Celia, speechless for a while, and after a while, the two arrived near the city gate.

"Don't look at the guards, blend in with the crowd and walk slowly." Celia quietly told Mu Yun.

There was a crowded flow of people at the gate of the city. It was approaching evening, and most of the people leaving the city were farmers from the nearby countryside. They were pulling empty carriages and moving towards the gate. Although they were slow, their faces were filled with smiles of sold-out goods.The ones who entered the city were noble young masters and young ladies who had returned from a trip. Of course, they took the VIP passage.

Mu Yun and the others followed the crowd and slowly moved towards the outside of the city. They were about to pass through the city gate, but they heard a shout from behind: "Stop!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and from the corner of Mu Yun's eyes, he saw a guard walking towards them, and Selea, who was next to him, also noticed it, and whispered to Mu Yun: "Get ready, I will surprise you and take you out." Mu Yun saw Celia wanting to draw her sword, and grabbed her hand, "Wait! It doesn't seem like they are coming for us."

Just as he was talking, the guard stopped a little distance away from them, grabbed a person next to him, and shouted at the same time: "What are you doing!" It was a thin figure who saw the guard grabbing at him Come, suddenly, he squeezed through the crowd and ran out of the city, holding a money bag in his hand.

"Don't run!" The guards caught him empty-handed, and also pushed through the crowd to chase the man, and two guards were separated to intercept him.

"It turned out to be a thief." Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, the two looked at each other, and took advantage of the confusion to continue walking outside the city.

……

On a small path some distance away from the city gate, Mu Yun and the others finally stopped.

"I can only send you here."

Celia took out a small bag from her bosom and handed it to Mu Yun. Mu Yun took it and opened it to have a look. There were a few silver crystal coins and a dozen copper crystal coins lying in it, as well as the book that Mu Yun was still reading today. writing notes.

"Time is in a hurry, I can only get these things. Bonia King City is in the northwest of Falling Star City. You can walk through this small road and you will see an avenue. Walk along the avenue and there will be some small towns. You will meet people from the Chamber of Commerce. If you are lucky, you can pay for them to take you for a ride, because if you want to walk, it will take nearly a month, and now there are only ten days before the entrance exam, and it is too late to walk, so... Are you sure you want to go? ?” Celia looked at Mu Yun and asked.

"Of course, I still have to be admitted to your academy." Mu Yun smiled, and Seleya blushed slightly, avoiding Mu Yun's gaze, "My father... I hope you can see me saving you." For the sake of coming out, don't hold grudges against him."

"After all, it's your father, so it's a write-off."

"Also, you don't want to use your name for the time being. It's not good if you are found out." Celia suddenly thought of this and turned back to look at Mu Yun and said.

"Then call me Mu Yun." Mu Yun smiled happily, thinking, "I didn't expect to use my original name."

"Mu... Yun, what a strange name." Selea murmured, tilting her head.

"Then I'm leaving, see you in our academy."

"See you at the academy."

As if wanting to engrave the girl's appearance in his mind, Mu Yun looked at Celia seriously, then turned and left.

Celia looked at Mu Yun's leaving back, blankly wondering what she was thinking.

……

"Oh!"

"Bastard!" Foreman looked at his daughter who was standing in front of the table with her head bowed. She was so angry that she slapped the table with her palm, her face full of anger.

"Since when did you dare not listen to me?" Foreman suddenly thought of something, and looked at his daughter suspiciously, "Could it be that you fell in love with that kid? Don't forget your mission, think When you become a saint, you must keep your body and mind pure! Only in this way can you receive the most glorious blessing from the Lord of God!" Hearing her father's words, Celia trembled in her heart, and hurriedly raised her head and said to her father: "No , I just don't think he's at fault, so..."

"So you dare to take him away without my order?"

"..."

Seeing that her daughter stopped talking, Foreman was silent for a moment, and then said: "From tomorrow onwards, you will stay at home obediently, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. You will return to Wangcheng before school starts. Go down."

Celia breathed a sigh of relief, said "yes", bowed to her father, and left the study.

Foreman walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the gradually dimming night sky outside, and said after a while, "Come here!"

"Yes, my lord."

"Take a team to search outside the city. He is not far away. Find him and bring him back."

"Obey, my lord."

……

Mu Yun stepped out of the trail and walked along the main road. Occasionally, he could see a returning farmer passing by in a carriage. After thinking about it, he waved to stop one and threw him a copper crystal coin under the farmer's puzzled eyes. , the farmer nodded with a smile on his face and let him get into the carriage.

The sky gradually darkened, and the slight wind blew away the heat of the summer day. After giving the farmer three copper crystal coins and asking for some bread and water to pack into the package, Mu Yun was worried that the city lord would send troops after him. I chased after him, just in case I didn't stop in the small village, and continued walking along the main road while eating bread.

"The core of the life system is still beneficial. I don't know if it's the function of the core." Although he hasn't felt the operation of the core yet, Mu Yun still tries to absorb the life force in the air according to Celia's notes.Looking at his puberty-developing body, Mu Yun found that he was only a little tired after walking for so long, and he didn't know whether it was due to his youthful energy or the credit of the life department.

I don’t know how long we’ve been walking, but the sky has already dimmed, only the afterglow of the setting sun remains in the sky, and the small hills in the distance are covered with a half-round silver moon, and Mu Yun is admiring the moonlight while walking.

The sun and the moon seem to be similar to the previous life, but there are still differences. Even the sun at noon is not dazzling, and the moonlight at night is also not dim. During the first month, Muyun always thought about this strange thing when he was free. In this world, perhaps the sun and the moon have life on them.

After walking another distance and standing on a small hill, Mu Yun saw that there were still no lights in the distance, so he could only decide to sleep in the wild tonight.Even with the moonlight shining, the mountains and forests in the distance are covered with a layer of black veil, and the shadows are indistinct, as if you will lose your way immediately if you plunge into it.

Although he is only about 12 years old on the outside, he is still an adult at heart. Seeing the lonely and silent appearance, although Mu Yun feels furious in his heart, he is not scared enough to pee his pants.

In order to prevent wild beasts from attacking, Mu Yun found a big tree that seemed to be easy to climb and climbed up. He put the money bag in his clothes, tore the food package into strips of cloth, and tied it around his waist. tied to a tree.After doing all this, Mu Yun finally calmed down and thought about what happened today.

Although it was only a few hours, and no pursuers were found, but the invisible pressure was always forcing Mu Yun, and now he left temporarily, and suddenly felt tired like a tidal wave, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
