Chapter 326 Night Walk

"I've told you everything I know, young man," Arbogast said. "If you still want to save your companions, follow me."

As he spoke, the priest picked up the oil lamp and walked towards the path leading to the village. Xing Ze took out his wand and followed him. The path was not long, but it was very narrow and could barely allow one person to pass.

Five or six minutes later, the two walked out of the path and saw a cemetery and an old-fashioned wooden chapel in front of them. The church was dilapidated, the door was broken, and half of the ceiling collapsed, and the other half could fall at any time.

The priest walked to one side of the church, blew out the oil lamp, and said in the moonlight: "That is a mountain road that runs through the entire village. The exit on the other side is at the accommodation. But the road over there is not easy to walk on, it is bumpy, and there are guards."

"Do you see that house?" The priest asked, pointing to a low-rise house made of rough red stones not far away.

Xing Ze nodded.

"That used to be the village grocery store, but it's been requisitioned now. You can find some food and drink there if you need it. The point is, walk along the street next to it, there is a small school near that street, if there are pursuers, the school can be used for hiding.

"Don't expect the local residents to open the door for you. The school wall is not high, you can climb over it with a stone, and there are no dogs there. Since those outsiders came here, there are a lot more dogs in the village, especially in some important places, there are hunting dogs.

"Your friend is locked up in the village hall. I can take you there, but I won't help. For God's sake, I almost determined the perfect escape route, and you can't ruin it like this."

In the last sentence, Arbogast was more like a plea.

"Just take me there. But you also have to tell me the escape route."

"Go back along the street next to the grocery store and then go out the entrance. There are no other good options. There won't be too many guards there. Because there are monsters in the woods, you'd better go to the grocery store and get some high-intensity flashlights."

"Can't we come to your place?" Xing Ze looked suspicious, "It seems safer to go from your side."

The priest chuckled and said, "Don't be ridiculous, man. Once something happens in the village, those crazy people will first suspect me. How do you think my face became like this?

"I have faith and helped those who want to escape. But in the end, it was all in vain. They were caught and I was punished. So, don't expect me to help you. You are courting death by coming here. "

Although he was still full of doubts, Arbogast did not give Xing Ze too much time to think. He walked slowly towards the red stone house.

Xing Ze followed slowly and chanted softly to add the necessary magic to himself.

"What are you mumbling?" asked the priest who was walking in front.

"Some self-suggestion."

The priest shrugged and said, "You are really a weirdo. Most people would have turned around and run away if they heard what I said. They would not be as calm as you. "

Xing Ze did not reply. He paid attention to the surrounding situation. His sensitive hearing allowed him to catch some movement. It was the sound of a dog panting, very close to them. In addition, there were slow footsteps in the distance, which should be the patrol guard mentioned by the priest.

There was a dog in the backyard of the grocery store. Arbogast pointed to the doghouse and motioned Xing Ze to speak softly so as not to alarm it.

But Xing Ze felt that if they needed to pass by here later, the dog would be a hidden danger. He stretched out his arm, and black particles floated in from the gap in the fence and slowly gathered into Black cat.

There is no need to leave hidden dangers that can be eliminated. The priest walking in front did not know what happened behind him. He did not walk to the street as before, but walked along the wall.

Not far away, Xing Ze saw the school. This kind of elementary school in the mountainous area is not too big, and the wall is not too high as the priest said. For Xing Ze, he can easily climb over it without even padding.

After passing the school, Arbogast stopped, he watched cautiously, then turned his head and said, "Okay, wait here for the guard to pass, and then we will go. "

Xing Ze had no objection to this. Bluebeak had successfully dealt with the dog and was now turning into a raven and flying towards the patrolling guards.

The priest was not lying. The guards were not far away from them. And judging from the increasingly clear footsteps, they were coming this way.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xing Ze observed the surrounding situation. They were now hiding in the gap between two houses, and they could get out to the street if they walked a little further.

Outside the street was a flat open space with many cars parked there. If Mike could still move, he should be able to Drive one.

Cars of this era are not like modern cars. You can pry open the door with a little skill, and then use the fuse to start the car. This trick is very familiar to Mike.

If you need to force your way through the main gate of the village as Arbogast said, then a car is necessary, otherwise it will be too passive.

The patrolling guards finally appeared. Xing Ze was still thinking about seeing the other party's equipment, but the priest pulled him back. He didn't ask unhappily until the guards walked away: "What are you doing? Don't treat them as fools."

He then stuck his head out to take a look, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he continued, "Those people have all been specially trained, and their eyes and ears are very sharp. I don't object to you going to die, but please don't get involved with me, okay?"

"Stop talking nonsense, Arbogast, just keep leading the way."

The priest wanted to say a few more words, but when he felt a pistol against his waist, he immediately shut up, obviously forgetting his identity.

The two continued to move forward, walked out of the street and turned left into another street. The patrolling guards were in the opposite direction of them, so along the way, except for letting Bluebeak secretly eliminate some guard dogs, they did not encounter too many problems.

Of course, this was for Arbogast, who brought Xing Ze safely to the vicinity of the village hall, and he didn't have to worry about the rest.

"Do you remember the way here?" he asked Xing Ze.

"Of course."

"That's good. See that building with lights on? That's the village hall. Well, my mission is done, young man, so I wish you good luck."

Arbogast didn't stay for too long. He stood up, stopped sneaking around, and continued walking quickly along the street.

Xing Ze didn't stop him. This ugly priest did help him a lot. If it weren't for him, Xing Ze would have to spend some time studying the escape route, which undoubtedly increased the risk of exposure. The sky was already bright, and he didn't have much time.
