Chapter 10 Chapter Ten Pedestrian Crossing Sign at Night
After an unknown amount of time, Segolena was suddenly awakened by a burst of icy water, and found that she was firmly bound by a few hemp ropes, surrounded by several big men with raised eyebrows and gloomy faces.He looked around and saw that he was at the bottom of a cabin, the light was dim, and there was only a soybean oil lamp next to him, which trembled slightly with the bumps of the ship from time to time.Segolena tried to raise her breath, and found that the internal energy was still there, but it was still unable to gather. The stagnation was difficult to dissipate in various parts of the Zodiac, and the palms and shins were aching in several places. The power of Thor's Hammer cannot be underestimated. .
A big man pushed his shoulder and said loudly: "Sir, he's awake." Bijozi then appeared from the darkness, his thick eyebrows were twisted together, and the veins on his face were exposed, it was obvious that he had moved. angry.He walked up to Segolena, raised his fist and said sharply: "You are in my hands now, quickly tell the whereabouts of your accomplice, otherwise some people will suffer!"
After hearing what he said, Segolena knew that they hadn't found Eke, so she couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Everything I said is true, but I just met him by chance and didn't have a close relationship with him." Bjorzy couldn't believe it, and shouted: "You guys had trouble together last night, and you boarded the ship together today. The facts are obvious, and you still have to argue!" Segolena said, "I swear in the name of God, I have nothing to do with this matter." Bijou said: " You thieves, what morals do you have, swearing and swearing is like farting!" Segolena said: "If I were an accomplice, I would have escaped long ago, why stay on the boat and wait for you to catch me?" One person said "Of course you want to escape, but our chief is invincible with an iron fist, and he can catch you little thief with a few moves." A group of people around laughed loudly, and Bijoqi was also very proud.Segolena originally wanted to argue that if it wasn't for the fact that his true qi suddenly went wrong, he might not be able to fight him, but then he thought about it, why bother to tell them this, and simply shut up.The man said again: "This is the mercy of the officer, otherwise your stomach will flow out with one punch." Segolena heard this voice somewhat familiar, and it was one of the people who were whispering next door on the boat yesterday. , I couldn't help taking a second look, and saw a man with a horse face, two short mustaches, and a black mole.
After the audience finished complimenting Bijoqi, he said again: "I have asked the sailors on the ship in detail. In the evening, someone saw that man named Eke sneaking into your cabin and only came out after a long time. Isn't it just discussing treasure theft? If you have never met him before, how could you be so close.” Hearing what he said, Segolena was suddenly startled, and suddenly realized that there was no abnormality in his exercise and breath adjustment in the afternoon, and then he only ate a A bunch of grapes that Ke brought, could it be that there is a mystery hidden in the grapes?From this point of view, Eke deliberately pretended to be close, and secretly administered drugs to destroy his internal strength, so as to teach himself to be unlucky, and instead became a scapegoat to attract the attention of the guards.
He was lowering his head in thought, but Bijozi thought that the little thief had run out of words, so he cheered up and asked, "Where is that painter named Ike? Who ordered you?" Segolena thought to himself Eck said and did not pay any attention to these cross-examinations.A big man next to him yelled: "Sir, if you don't give him a taste, this little thief probably won't say it!" Segolena looked up, but it was the one who whipped the singer last night and was blown away with his own punch. guy.
Bijou agreed with his jaw.The big man came up and muttered: "Grandma, your punch yesterday made me feel very uncomfortable, and today I have to pay it back ten times." It was a punch to the stomach.Segolena's lower abdomen was attacked, and there was a sharp pain, and the group of internal forces stagnated in the Virgo palace was suddenly impacted, and he survived.Segolena's heart moved, and he immediately laughed and said: "It's so comfortable, so comfortable, your punch doesn't hurt or itch, it's only good for beating mosquitoes!"
The big man was extremely angry, and he punched again and again, hitting his chest, lower abdomen, limbs, and face like a storm.Although Segolena's flesh hurt, his internal strength was revived by the series of punches, and it no longer condensed in one place lifelessly, but gradually became fluid again.He didn't say anything, and while he was beating each other, he secretly began to use his internal strength.
Bjorzy watched from the sidelines, silent.They searched in the middle of the night yesterday and searched the whole boat up and down, but there was no trace of it.If nothing can be pried out of this little thief's mouth, the guards this trip will be regarded as being at home, and how can they have the face to walk around in the rivers and lakes in the future.Suddenly, the horse-faced man next to him murmured: "Eck...Eck...how does this name sound so familiar to you?" Bijouqi said, "According to him, he is from Flanders, and there is a mortal in his name. , who knows the truth..." At this point, he suddenly stopped talking, his face was surprised, his lips were a little dry, and he asked after a while, "Could it be... Could it be that he is the magic hand painter Van Eyck?"
The magic hand painter Van Eck is Europa's No. 1 eccentric, both good and evil.This person is a good painter, and has the secret of using oil to paint, which is collected by nobles from all over the world.Van Eck roams all over the world, like a wild crane in the clouds, usually very difficult to find, but he has a eccentric hobby, he is fond of stealing, if he sees something good, he will do everything possible to steal it, and he will leave a note pretending to be elegant, thank the owner Kindness.So people in the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname "Magic Hand Painter", one is to praise him for the magic brush of painting; the other is to say that he is good at nothing.
When Bijoqi saw the treasure stolen last night, he was a little anxious, and forgot about this verse for a while, and then he thought of this allusion when he was reminded.Bijozi rubbed his hands and said, "If it was the work of the magic hand painter, it's no wonder that he was not found on the ship. I heard that he has excellent lightness skills, and he may have a way to abandon the ship and go ashore. It's just that this man dared to touch the birthday gift for the Duke of Belgrade. Really brave!" The horse-faced man said: "I heard that he even stole the Duke of Burgundy in France, the Grand Lord of Salzburg, and the headquarters of the Teutonic Knights. I am afraid that the title of the Duke of Belgrade I can’t scare this man.” After listening to this, Bijoqi was silent for a long while, and Fang slowly said: “We escorted the holy money this time, and it was said that we were going to Rome and Belgrade to give the Duke’s birthday gift, and it was our guard. Few people here know about it, but how did Van Eyck know about it?" The man with a horse face said: "As the saying goes, there is no wall that is impenetrable to the wind. Since the painter dares to call it a magic hand, he probably has his way."
Bijoqi gave a "hmm", thinking to himself that if he met the magic hand painter, he didn't know how much he would win.He took out a small wooden box from his bosom and said, "This treasure is divided into two halves. It is useless if it is not put together. Fortunately, I keep this half with me, and the magic hand painter has not yet succeeded. The following In a few days, the brothers of the Zhu family must keep up their spirits and not let down their vigilance for a moment." The crowd suddenly agreed, and the man with a horse face said: "Even though the magic hand painter has a variety of tricks, it is better for our chief to plan first and then decide."
Hearing this sentence, Bjorzy glanced at Segolena who was being beaten up, thinking that the magic hand painter was always scheming, and the young man might not know it. Xu Shi has some relationship with the magic hand painter, but it should not be taken lightly.Thinking of this, he said: "Darjevic, stop first." The strong man named Darjevic put down his fist panting, and Bijozi went over to see that Segolena had already been beaten. His body was bruised and bruised, and he was too miserable to look at, so he said: "This matter involves a lot, and we will interrogate it in Belgrade. Now let's lock him and that nigger in the cabin!" He paused, and then ordered: "Get them Apply some ointment, so as not to die before reaching the port, there is no proof of death." After saying that, he turned and left the cabin, and Darjevic and the horse-faced man also went out, leaving only two guards in the cabin.
Segolena's nose and face were bruised and swollen from this old punch, and the internal force in his stagnant body was beaten loose, which was quite refreshing, just like a lump of hard dough being kneaded by a baker.He continued to be beaten while secretly promoting blood circulation. By the time Darjevic stopped, the zodiac signs in his whole body had already been relieved, and it only took another night to recover.Hearing what Bijoqi said just now, he knew that Augustine was still alive, so he relaxed and focused on adjusting his breath.
The boat sailed on the Danube for two days. Segolena has been locked at the bottom of the cabin for the past few days, and his internal strength has been recovered to a minimum. It is not difficult to break free from the rope. appearance.The guards only knew that he was half dead, so they lost their vigilance and often talked and drank like no one else. Segolena listened attentively and knew a lot of things.
It turned out that the holy money guards came to Belgrade this time for a major event in Europa's martial arts - Hunyadi, the Duke of Belgrade's 70th birthday this year, is spreading heroic invitations and inviting heroes from all over Europe.This Duke of Belgrade is well-known in the world: the current number one man, the Knight of the White Shield personally appointed by the Pope, and the family's thirteen-way Roman javelins are superb, and there are few opponents.More than ten years ago, he led 3,000 soldiers to repel 60,000 Ottoman troops on the banks of the Danube River, and he became famous all over the world.Now the whole of Serbia has been reduced to a vassal, only the surrounding areas of Belgrade remain unmoved, all thanks to the Duke's prestige.Even Murad II had nothing to do with this stony old man.When these guards mentioned the Duke's name, they all spoke respectfully, dare not and disrespected at the same time.
On the morning of the third day, I finally arrived at the river port on the south bank of Belgrade.Bjorzy personally escorted Segolena and Augustine out of the cabin, tied them several times with hemp rope, and transported them ashore together with the holy money.Segolena was pushed out of the hatch by two big men, and took the opportunity to look around.
When the Danube River reaches here, the surface of the river becomes extremely wide and sparkling. Thousands of sails race past, and the sound of the bow cutting across the water is one after another.The Belgrade River Port, located on the south side of the river bank, is much larger than Prahovo. There are seven or eight docks alone, which are extremely busy and prosperous.In the distance, on the high slope in the southwest, there is a majestic gray-white castle with towering towers on all four sides, and the battlements are ups and downs like knives according to the slope. It is the Belgrade Fortress.There are quite a few houses scattered around the castle, covering a very wide area, as if it has become a town under the city.There is a stone wall around it, which is higher than several people.
Bjozzi showed the rolling golden cross flag, and the dock officials knew that they were the holy money guards, so they didn't dare to neglect, and took it personally.Bijochi saluted the official, and said: "I have obeyed the Pope's decree, and specially sent a birthday congratulatory ceremony to the Duke." The official said repeatedly: "The superior has already explained, if the holy money A few masters from the guards are here, and they are entertained at the house." Bijoqi said with satisfaction: "It's so good." The official looked at the noisy crowd on the left and right, and said: "You also saw that the duke invited people very much for his birthday this time. Many, guests from all over Europa have arrived these past few days, and there is no time to welcome them. Please forgive me if the hospitality is not good.” Bijozi nodded slightly, and said: “I am used to eating and sleeping in the open, so it’s okay. It’s just that the Pope The birthday gifts that you handed over in person are of great importance, and there must be a safe place to store them." The official said: "It's only natural that His Excellency the Duke has specially set aside a warehouse to store birthday gifts from various places. When you arrive in the city, you will find out when you ask."
Several four-wheeled carriages have been prepared on the pier, dedicated to pick up and drop off guests between the river port and the castle.Bjorzy watched as the wharfmen loaded the cargo, tied the prisoner to the wagon, and drove down the open road towards the castle.From the river port to the castle, there were quite a lot of pedestrians, including knights and accompanying retinues, noble guards of honor, some merchants, entertainers, barbers, wandering doctors and monks, and some farmers coaxing pigs and sheep.There are even some people with weapons tied around their waists, with bare eyes, riding or walking, which is very different from ordinary pedestrians.Bi Yueqi is a veteran of the world, and he can tell at a glance that he is a martial artist, and there are many experts among them. He can't help but sigh secretly that this birthday banquet is really great.
The carriage was rumbling along when suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes from behind.Bjorzy poked his head out of the carriage and saw a group of horses galloping from behind the carriage.Immediately the leader was a middle-aged man with a square face and wide eyebrows, with a dignified appearance, a little white on the temples, and two sharp white eyebrows like the horns of a sword. The young men and women behind him were all handsome and handsome.They were all dressed in white robes, with the corners of their robes fluttering up and down, like angels descending.
Bijozi patted his thigh and said joyfully, "So they are here too!" Darjevic stared intently at a handsome woman in the cavalry, and when he heard what Bijoqi said, he quickly asked, "Where are these people coming from?" ?” Bijozi pointed to the middle-aged man, and said in awe: “Have you ever heard of the names of the Twelve Apostles of the Guard? The one who is the leader is the descendant of the apostle Simon, the Sicilian Provenzano. He is the head of the Heresy Inquisition of the Holy See, and he is in charge of various religious inquisitions, with a very high status. The Pope is willing to send him to celebrate the birthday of the Duke of Belgrade, it is really a great face."
Darjevic licked his lips, looked at the woman's slender figure, and said, "His female disciples are really cool!" Bijoqi's face tightened, and he quickly shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! They heard it!" , but they want to pull out their tongues! What do you know! Those people are the lay disciples of Provenzano, all of them are his proud disciples, and they are all ruthless characters in the world. The one you stared at just now The woman, named Cherie, known as "Wang Ergulei" by people in the Jianghu, once toppled the three gangs of the Adriatic Sea Wolf Gang, the Greek Fire Gate, and the Corsican Iron Sand Gang within a month, just because she was killed by a I said something frivolous to the public." Darjevic stuck out his tongue, and said in horror: "This woman is so cruel, we can't bear it." Bijozi ignored him and said to himself: "Provenza Lord Nuo is here, we have a backing, and we are not afraid of the magic hand painter coming to make trouble." He glanced back at Segolena, who kept his eyes closed and snorted coldly.
While talking, the horse team had already passed the convoy, and at this moment Bjorzy saw that they were just leading, followed by a carriage, and he was startled, thinking to himself what kind of person was in this carriage, who, as Provenzano, was willing to do it guard.He took another look, the whole body of the carriage was plain white, and the windows on both sides were tightly covered with thick cloth curtains, so he couldn't see the scene inside the carriage at all.Bjorzy carefully looked at the lily emblem on the roof of the car, and gasped, it turned out that they were the nuns of the Beguin Society!
The Beiguin Society is a place where female monks devote themselves to cultivation, and there has never been a man in the society for hundreds of years.They seldom communicate with the outside world, their status is beyond the Holy See, and they are unique. They have always been a major mysterious force affecting the European martial arts.It is said that the martial art passed down in the Beijuin Club is called "Hail to the Virgin Mary". The nuns in the club are all hidden masters. It is even rumored that only a few people in Europe today can compete with Beijuin. Because the nuns of the meeting are against each other.
The nuns of the Beguinage seldom go to the secular world, but today they openly came to the Duke's birthday banquet, and even invited the heirs of the apostle Simon's line as guards. Bijozi felt that this birthday banquet was not simple. There was a chill in my heart.
After letting the Beguin's car drive, Bjorzy carried the goods into the city of Belgrade.The houses in the city are row upon row, the avenues are flat and wide, and it has the grandeur of a capital of a country.As soon as the carriage entered, someone inside had already come out to meet him.These servants in the duke's mansion were all dressed in green brocade outfits, and their speech and behavior were all polite, which made Bijoqi secretly admire.They passed through several city gates, and there was a din of people. The guards took over the gates one by one, and checked them layer by layer. Regardless of the registration list, gift delivery, room allocation, and horse feeding, everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
Bjorzy and his guards were arranged in a farmhouse, and the holy money was sent to a special warehouse, while Segolena and Augustine were taken over by the Belgrade guards and taken to the prison below the city.
As soon as the guard who was waiting to guard the cell turned around, Segolena got up from the ground, first used the proverb's inner strength to break the rope, and then untied the rope on Augustine's body.Augustine had suffered a lot in the past few days, and his spirit was a little tired. When he saw that his master was fine, his eyes flashed with joy, and he opened his mouth and yelled twice.
Segolena said to Augustine: "Now we have entered Belgrade. I just saw how chaotic the city is. It shouldn't be difficult to escape while taking advantage of the chaos." Augustine gestured a few times, and Segolena said with a smile: "After being beaten up by that guy, the true qi in my body has been revived. I have been working hard to adjust my breath in the past two days, and all of them have recovered."
After saying that, he turned his head to look, and found that the two of them were in a small rectangular room, with a thick iron door firmly blocking the door.The floor of the prison was only covered with straw, which was already extremely rotten.The wall skin was peeling and decayed, and there was only a small transom on it, which was blocked by a row of iron bars.He walked to the window and looked out. It turned out that the prison was built on a high slope, and the ground outside the window was as high as ten people.
Segolena held the two iron bars with both hands, using the inner strength of the proverb to twist them intently, the iron bars creaked a few times and stopped moving.It turns out that the iron gate was embedded in the wall early in the morning and then cast, so it is different from ordinary plug-in connections, it is very strong, and it is absolutely difficult to pull it out except for breaking it.Augustine also stepped forward to try, but it still didn't work.Segolena walked around the cell several times, and the surrounding walls were piled up with big stones, not to mention loose, not even a gap.After tossing for half a day, Segolena had nothing to do, and simply lay down on the ground, thinking hard about a way to get out.
At night, there is a cool moonlight shining in through the transom, and the noise of the city can be faintly heard in the distance, which is very depressing.The guard threw two pieces of dry hard bread through the crack under the iron door, and then walked away.Segolena gnawed a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, fell into a deep sleep, and vaguely heard someone calling his name in his ear.He was refreshed, got up quickly, followed the sound and looked out the window, only to see a figure hanging outside, smiling and waving through the bars, but it was Van Eck!
Seeing him, Segolena didn't come forward, and said coldly, "What are you doing here?" Van Eyck said, "The moon is melting tonight, and I just want to invite you to have a drink together, so I'm here." Invite me." Segolena said: "I treated you sincerely, but you poisoned me and put me in prison, why are you still mocking me?" He just discovered at this time that Van Eyck was holding a knife in his right hand. The thick rope hanging down, no wonder he can hang out of the window, swaying slightly from time to time.
Van Eyck had expected his reaction, and laughed: "It took more than 100 days to paint San Giotto trapped in Padua Arena before he painted the immortal masterpiece "Mourning for Christ". It took you only two days. It's just a prisoner, why should you be so confused. My Sangong pill is not poisonous, it will only temporarily dissipate people's internal energy. Young people have to suffer a little bit, and it is right to exercise. Don't you know that it will be of great use after tempering Seeing his cool words, Segolena's anger rose sharply, and he wanted to slash the rope with his palm and throw the damn painter to death. Then he suddenly thought about it, stared at him and said, "Could it be you You found that the treasure was only half useless, so you came to me to help you get the other half?" Van Eyck was startled for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "You are so smart, little friend! That thing is the most precious treasure in the world. Wouldn't it be a great pity if it wasn't perfect?" Segolena folded his arms and said, "How can you be so sure that I will help you?" Van Eyck raised a finger and said triumphantly, "I followed you all the way secretly. I saw with my own eyes that Bijoqi put the other half of the treasures together with your wooden staff, and they are all stored in the warehouse of the Duke’s Mansion. I think you cherish this wooden staff quite a lot, don’t you think?”
Segolena was speechless for a while, the chestnut staff with five rings was the relic of Brother Kavanagh, and it was also his keepsake in the dervishes, and it should not fall into the hands of others no matter what.Seeing that he was silent, Van Eyck knew that he had already made a move, and hit the rails while it was hot: "I have seen that you have a unique skill, my friend. You and I sneaked into the warehouse together to get what we need. This is a good story in the history of art." Segolet Na Dan said: "Even so, how did you get me out?"
Van Eyck said: "It's not difficult to say, but it's not easy to say it is easy." Segolena frowned, showing a puzzled face.Van Eck grabbed a yellow-black ball as big as a chicken egg from his arms, and said: "This is a gift from a friend of mine. It's called Greek fire powder. Once lit, it has the power to break rocks and iron. It is effortless to open this small transom." Segolena had seen the power of this gunpowder in Moldova, and was not surprised, and asked, "What is so difficult?" Van Eyck saw him He was not surprised by the Greek fan, but was a little disappointed, so he had to reply: "When the window was blown, the sound was so loud that the prison guards would come immediately if they heard it. Find the moon in the water." When Segolena saw him cast his gaze on Augustine, he immediately understood what he meant, and said angrily: "Teaching others to die for me is not done by a righteous man!" Van Eyck said: "Since he is You slave, these small things should always be done on behalf of the Lord."
The conversation between the two of them was all in Italian, and Augustine couldn't understand, so he just sat on the straw blankly.Although Segolena and Augustine had the status of master and servant, he didn't have the slightest idea of master and slave in his mind, and only regarded the black man as a companion.He said to Van Eyck: "Augustine and I have a companionship, I would rather die here for the rest of my life than be the one who betrays his friends to survive!"
Hearing his words, Van Eck was clearly mocking himself, so he didn't feel annoyed, he smiled: "Little friend, you are so narrow-minded. It doesn't matter, since you insist on it, I can't stop it, it's up to you!" He He handed over a chisel, and said to Segolena, "Cut out some holes at the base of the iron grid, so that I can put Greek fire powder, and move faster."
Segolena took the chisel, moved his arms with magical powers, and smashed it fiercely, causing sparks to fly all over the chisel.The outer wall is made of natural giant rock, the stone is extremely thick and hard, and it is not the same as the rock wall he broke in the Juegu Water Cave that day.It took him half the night to cut out several half-deep grooves.Van Eyck handed over the Greek powder again, and instructed Segolena to pour it into the groove at the root of the iron grid, leaving only a faint powder line outside, and carefully tapped it.
At this time, Van Eyck suppressed his smile, took out the flint, and said seriously to Segolena: "The power of this Greek fire powder is extraordinary. This cell is really narrow. I don't know what will happen in a while, so I have to take a risk. I'll take a risk later." Hang up a section, you light this pink thread, and then hide with the black man at the door and squat down with your head hugged, mustering your internal strength, so as not to be injured by the gravel. Once the explosion is over, twist the iron rod and climb out as soon as possible. There is a rope here." After speaking, he alternated his hands and climbed up the rope, and soon disappeared.
Segolena knew that gunpowder was so powerful that it would suffer even if it was as powerful as a "hermit", so he ordered Augustine to hide under the door in Greek, and threw sparks into the powder line himself, and also hurriedly hid at the door .When the spark saw the pink thread, it suddenly swelled up with a sound, and burned along the pink thread rustlingly.Segolena put his head in his hands, only to feel a loud noise, deafening, the air wave rushed towards him, and there were also gravels flying randomly, hitting his body with pain.He tried his best to resist, but his shoulders and lower abdomen were still scratched by flying stones.
As soon as the explosion stopped, Segolena jumped up with Augustine without shaking off the powder on his body.They saw that the bottoms of several iron bars on the transom had been blasted into a mess, and all four arms stretched out together, twisting desperately.
Seeing that the iron rods were about to be shaken down, a thick rope was stretched out of the window.At this time, footsteps were chaotic outside the prison, someone shouted loudly in Serbian, and the guards had already arrived.Augustine heard the clanging of metal, and knew that they had taken out the keys. With a loud roar, he let go of the iron bars, and turned back to the cell door.The iron prison door opened outwards, and there was no handle inside the door, so he used both hands to grab the food delivery slit under the door, and put his legs on both sides of the door to prevent the guards outside from opening the prison door.
Surprised, Segolena hastily called Augustine's name loudly.Augustine couldn't speak, and couldn't make gestures, so he turned his head and opened his mouth to scream at Segolena, bloodshot from the corner of his eyes.The guards outside kept shouting and shouting, and the iron prison door was slammed. Augustine was able to hold on to the iron door only because of Zimbabwe's great mastery skills, but he couldn't hold on for long.Segolena wanted to go over to help, but the black man just shook his head desperately, and suddenly raised his head again, with an extremely painful expression on his face.It turned out that when the guards saw a few fingers protruding from the gap under the door, they kicked and kicked one after another, so they almost didn't use their weapons to chop.
Segolena's arms burst out with strength, and the last two iron rods were torn apart with a "crash".Outside, Van Eyck shouted loudly: "If you don't leave at this time, you can't leave!" Segolena's eyes turned hard, and he bit his lip hard, but turned around and jumped to the door, pulling the black man away.The iron prison door suddenly lost its resistance, and was pulled open by the guards outside, and the people who pulled the door fell to the ground with a thud.Segolena took the opportunity to jump out of the door, his palms were spinning like the wind, Matthew mainly focuses on peace, and he can control people without hurting them. At this time, he was not very comfortable with the general, so he changed back to the Occam Truth Fist and shot Ruthlessly, he knocked down more than ten soldiers with one punch.The corridor of the cell was originally narrow, but after he made such a fuss, the soldiers behind were staggered and huddled together, they could only clenched their weapons and shouted, but they couldn't rush forward.
Segolena shouted in Greek while swinging his fist, telling Augustine to get out of the window quickly, but suddenly felt his body lighten, but it was Augustine who used Zimbabwe's big grabbing hand to lock him across the waist.Segolena didn't expect that the black man would attack him, but before he could resist, Augustine summoned his power and threw him back to the cell, and closed the iron door tightly with a "bang".Segolena got up from the ground, and when he tried to open the door, someone locked it from the outside.He could only hear joints breaking and screams coming from outside, thinking it was the guard whose arms and legs were broken by Augustine.
Van Eyck said coldly outside the window: "If you don't leave, he will fight to the death; if you leave, he will be captured without a fight, and there is still a chance of life." After hearing what he said, Segolena knew what he said. It makes sense, so I had to jump out of the window, grabbed the hemp rope, rushed into the prison and shouted: "Augustine, I have escaped, you should come down soon!" Van Eyck said: "It is not too late, let's go along Slip down with the rope." After speaking, he lowered himself to the ground first.
Segolena, however, refused to leave and hung motionless outside the window until he heard the sound of fists and feet outside the cell gradually subsiding, and the soldiers scolded more than moans. Knowing that Augustine had given up resisting, he slid his hands on the rope and landed towards the ground. go down.When he was about to reach the ground, a soldier poked his head out from the prison, drew his sword and cut the rope, Segolena swung his body, kicked his legs on the prison wall, rose and fell several times with the force of the swing, and landed lightly on the prison wall. On the ground, the broken rope fell down.Van Eyck praised: "You are so handsome, my friend, you are really hiding your secrets."
Segolena didn't see the slightest change, and whispered: "Let's go!" Van Eyck said with a smile: "You don't have to worry so much, if you and I are not caught, your loyal servant will not die for a day." Wait until I take out the treasure and come back to rescue him." He looked up at the prison, and said: "This is a big commotion, and it shouldn't be too late. We have to do it before they all get up from the bed. "
The two didn't talk much, and Segolena followed Van Eyck closely, turning left and right along the streets of Belgrade, sometimes jumping high, and sometimes sneaking.Van Eyck seemed to know the terrain well. The alleys and lanes in Belgrade were very complicated, but he didn't see any hesitation.Segolena saw the painter flying over the eaves and walls, and he was calm and relaxed, which shows that the lightness kung fu under his feet is really not shallow.
Segolena ran and asked, "What exactly are you trying to steal?" Van Eyck said, "Hey, that is the elixir that the Pope specially asked people to collect from Mount Mijul in order to celebrate the Duke's birthday. Segolena was startled when he recalled the conversation he overheard on the boat that day.Van Eck said: "The Duke of Belgrade has been suffering from a strange disease called Medusa's Cry for these years. His limbs are getting stiffer and stiffer. He may turn into a stone statue within a few years. He has searched all over the world for famous doctors, but there is nothing he can do. In the end. Finally, there was an Arab miracle doctor Ibn Sadoken who came to treat him, but the old man said that he would rather die than be rescued by a Muslim doctor. In desperation, Ibn Sadoken left a prescription and left lightly." Segolena sighed Said: "The duke is a man of integrity." Van Eck said: "He has a backbone, but he has suffered others. The prescription of the genius doctor Saduo mentioned that there is a worm and a weed in Mijul Mountain. The worm is called Bazley This worm has a head like a rooster and a body like a small snake. It is very similar to the legendary monster Bazlisk chicken snake, so it got its name. This kind of worm and grass are rare things, they only survive in Mijur Mountain, and it is extremely difficult to find them. Bazlisk Worm I only eats clover for a living. If you feed it four-leaf clover, it will die immediately after eating. Dead to death. Smash the corpse of the worm and swallow it, which is a good medicine for the Weeping of Medusa. It's just that the Bazlisk worm will wither into a layer of dry skin shortly after death, so it must be eaten immediately, without a moment's delay. "
Segolena suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that Bjorch refused to put them together and put them in separate boxes." Van Eyck said: "The Pope really has a heart. He knew that the Duke of Belgrade didn't want to be favored by Muslims, so he sent The envoys of the Holy See went to look for it in person, and then sent the holy money guards to escort it. In this way, this wormwood has become a panacea bestowed by the Pope, and the Duke can take it with confidence. It is a pity that I only stole four-leaf clover. But the Bazlisk worm was worn by Bijozi next to his body. Now that the worm has been stored, this is my chance!"
After hearing this, Segolena murmured in his heart. He was considered a subordinate of the Holy See, but now he helped the painter to steal the medicine, which seemed inappropriate.Seeing the hesitation on his face, Van Eck said, "As long as you get into the warehouse, you go get your wooden stick, and I go get my worms, it doesn't matter." Segolena said: "You steal the elixir, Could it be that he also suffers from the Cry of Medusa?" Van Eyck stretched out his right hand, flicked his slender fingers out of thin air a few times, and said with a smile, "Do you think I look like that? It's just that the corpse of the Bazlisk worm was smashed up, and then Mixed with pigments, you can paint extremely rare and peerless colors. The life of the world is only a hundred years, and art can last forever, so my usage is the most reasonable." Segolena was about to question, but Van Eyck suddenly He stopped and said in a low voice, "This is it!"
The two were in the northwest corner of Belgrade Castle at this time, where there was a small chapel made of blue bricks, with a corner fort on each side.This was originally the place where the Duke's family held daily worship, but now it has been temporarily changed to a place for storing precious birthday gifts.Van Eyck said: "There is only one entrance to this chapel, and there are two guards outside the door. There is also a team of patrols nearby." Segolena frowned and said, "With your skills, why do you have to ask me for help." Van Eyck raised his white hands and said with self-pity: "My hands are only dedicated to art. I have never learned such vulgar things as boxing. If I hurt my fingers, wouldn't it be a big loss?" Sai Ge After hearing this, Reiner was at a loss for words, not knowing whether this person was outspoken and honest, or if he was too arrogant.
Now that the matter has come to this point, Segolena has no choice but to cheer up.The two guards at the door were tall and burly, with bulging temples, and they were both hard-handed. The Duke only sent them to guard them, obviously full of confidence.Without squinting, they suddenly heard a frivolous tune in their ears, and saw a strange man in fancy clothes whistling and walking leisurely.The two guardians knew that most of the Duke's guests were people from the world, and there were many strange people among them, so they didn't dare to shout at him, they just stopped him and said, "Guest, this is an important part of the castle, and it is not convenient for outsiders to come in and out. Let’s go back soon.” The man scratched his shaggy hair and said drunkenly, “Forgive me, forgive me, I was drunk for a while, but I didn’t know where to go.” The two looked at each other and said, “Turn back from here, go down. After reaching the steps, turn right, and there will be soldiers to take you back, forgive me for being responsible and unable to leave.” The man took two steps forward, and muttered: “Since I was able to meet you, it is also due to fate. How about drawing a portrait for you?" After saying that, he took out two fine-bristled brushes from his bosom, flipped them up and down in his hands, extremely flexible, but staggered under his feet.The two guards looked at each other and had no choice but to step forward to support him. The man suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "The name of this painting is "Two Soldiers Struggle for Halo Picture"!"
The two guards were stunned, and a black figure suddenly jumped out from behind, and slashed at the back of the neck with two neat hand knives.The knife in this hand was full of internal strength, piercing through the star palace, the eyes of the two of them went dark, and they passed out immediately.Van Eyck clapped his hands and praised: "What a beautiful technique." Segolena still hesitated, glanced at the unconscious guard, and urged: "Quickly open the door."
The door lock of the chapel is just an ordinary copper-winged lock. Van Eyck took out two steel needles, inserted them into the keyholes and fiddled a few times, and the lock opened in response.The two pushed the door open, and saw that it was filled with all kinds of rare treasures, including gauntlets and long swords inlaid with gold and jade, pearls as big as chicken eggs, and some ancient books and old pots. Its appearance is not good, but it must have its own uniqueness.莫说赛戈莱纳一个土包子，就是凡埃克都看得啧啧称奇。
两人搜寻了一圈，凡埃克忽然喜道：“原来是在这里！”他搬走一尊斯留特尔亲手铸的黄金圣母像，踢开多那太罗的独角兽挂毯，从底部拿出一柄木杖和一个小小木匣，木匣上刻着教廷徽识，启处还有雷神门专有的封泥。赛戈莱纳接过木杖，上面五环节疤历历在目，不禁伸手轻轻抚摩，喜不自胜。凡埃克把木匣揣入怀里，道：“先离开这里再欣赏不迟！巡哨的转瞬即至。”
两人踏出礼拜堂，却发现先前晕倒在门口的两名护卫已经不见了。凡埃克毕竟是老江湖，暗叫不妙，他还未及开口提醒赛戈莱纳，四周忽然间火把通明，照的如同白昼一般。比约齐手带拳套，自塔楼阴影里缓步而出，冷然道：“魔手画师，我早料到你会去而复返，来盗那另外一半宝物，果不其然！”他身后还站着一个二十岁出头的男子，生得五官方正，身上穿着一件亮银锁子甲，手里提着柄宽刃短剑。
相反方向传来一个女子尖利的声音：“比约齐，你说的盗贼，便是这一老一小么？”赛戈莱纳与凡埃克急忙转头，看到另外一侧的角堡里走出三名白袍青年，两女一男，竟是早些时候碰到的那三个普罗文扎诺的俗家弟子。中间的男子身材高大气度不凡，左边女子一头红发，就是那外号“王尔古雷”的切丽了；右边还有一位少女，年纪不过十五，生得皮肤白嫩，楚楚动人，面上却没甚么表情。
凡埃克左顾右盼，终于摆摆手指叹道：“哎，他们也来了，这便不好相与了。”赛戈莱纳不必他提醒，也能看出这三个人绝非俗手，心里一阵苦笑。按说赛戈莱纳是卡瓦纳修士的弟子、马太福音的嫡系传人，与这三位西门福音的弟子本是同门师兄弟，可如今情势之下，就算是他自承身份，也只会落得一个辱没师门的小贼骂名。赛戈莱纳在绝谷之时，可从未想过与护廷十二福音的同僚这般相见。
比约齐身后的男子忽然跨前一步，与他并肩而立，肃然道：“魔手画师前辈是欧罗巴有名的人物，在下一向十分景仰，我家中亦有收藏前辈的名作。若是别的东西，任由前辈你取走，在下绝不吝惜。只是这四叶三叶草乃是教皇陛下馈赠家父的灵药，性命攸关，还望前辈能以人命为念，割爱留赠，我匈雅提家族必感恩铭记，以上宾待之。”
这一番话说的极为得体，说得比约齐和那三个门徒频频点头，就连赛戈莱纳也颌首称是。他言下之意，只要凡埃克交出四叶三叶草，便既往不咎，还好生接待，可以说是给足了面子。凡埃克听他称赞自己画作，表情大是得意，晃头说道：“你就是贝尔格莱德公爵的独子亚诺什·匈雅提罢？”亚诺什道：“正是！”凡埃克赞道：“虎父无犬子，年纪轻轻就有乃父风范。'小狮心王'果然并非浪得虚名。”狮心王查理是欧罗巴名王，亚诺什能被称为小狮心王，可见其能。
亚诺什略举了举手道：“前辈谬赞了。”凡埃克眼珠一转，说道：“你说家中收藏我的名作，敢问是哪一幅？”比约齐表情登时紧绷，亚诺什只是随口客套，想不到这画师却较起真来，他脾气古怪，一旦答错还不知生出甚么是非。不料亚诺什不慌不忙道：“前辈的《阿尔诺芬尼与他的新娘》细密精致，我母亲每天都要看上几眼，常说一日不见，食之无味。”
凡埃克听到他这般说，心情大悦，他一向以画技最为自负，能得人如此评价，可比甚么奉承都来得动听。他拨弄手指，沉吟不语。这时另外一端响起一声女子尖叱道：“何必跟这些小贼啰嗦，一剑一个刺死，再来寻宝不迟！”
开口说话的正是那个人称“王尔古雷”的切丽。他们三人本是比约齐请来助拳的，如今却被晾在了一旁，连通报姓名都欠奉，切丽性烈如火，不禁大怒。凡埃克听到她呼喊，横瞥过来一眼冷冷道：“普罗文扎诺的嘴巴好似被针线缝起来一样，怎地收的弟子却如此吵闹。”
切丽见他一开口就嘲弄自己和师父，二话不说，举锤便砸将过来。教廷武功不倡杀伐，是以无论神甫修士都不用刀剑，卡瓦纳修士用的是栗木杖，而普罗文扎诺的门下皆用的是三肘钉头锤，可砸可锤，变化多端。切丽一上来，便施展出西门福音的绝学，把凡埃克罩在一片锋锐之中。
西门在耶稣门徒中号称法严第一，随主之前便是奋锐党徒，谨守犹太律法，一丝不苟。耶稣传给他的武功，亦以严谨守正为主。西门福音招法环环相扣、严丝合缝，绝少留有破绽，与马太福音的格局又不相同。切丽的性情爆烈，手中招式却依足了西门福音的精要，钉头锤划出数十几道清晰印迹，无不对准对手要害。
凡埃克“啧”了一声，掣出两支细毛画笔，两下一交，竟把她的钉头锤架住。切丽一怔，少退了两步，又复来攻。凡埃克双笔翻飞，切、刮、点、刷笔势连绵，将绘画技法尽融于招式之中。二笔一锤在这入夜的城堡之中斗了个不亦乐乎，那两管画笔看似纤细，却总能以巧妙招式卸掉钉头锤的力道。切丽连攻了十招，却都被凡埃克的画笔带偏，始终不得尽意。凡埃克接招之余，不时唠叨道：“小姐你性格恶劣，身材却是曼妙，假若让我画下身体，只怕不知有多少男子会为你痴迷哩。”他本出自艺术赤诚，听在切丽耳中却全是轻薄之言，更是恼怒。
亚诺什见两人斗了起来，欲上前制止，却被比约齐拦住劝道：“少爷，西门一脉最重名声。你贸然上前，岂不是拂了他们面子？只怕以后麻烦更多。”亚诺什皱眉道：“本来我已几乎说动魔手画师，那位小姐何必节外生枝呢？”比约齐苦笑道：“她若不节外生枝，便不会被人叫做王尔古雷了。”
赛戈莱纳只知凡埃克轻功了得，没想到他笔上功夫也如此精妙，切丽在他手里却是丝毫便宜也讨不到。他正自观望，那高大的白袍男子缓步走到他面前，掣出钉头锤，施了一礼道：“在下是西门一脉的罗慕路斯，前来向阁下讨教几招。”赛戈莱纳见他面容清癯，是内家高手，忽然动了好胜之心，心想不知西门福音和老师的马太福音孰强孰弱，遂把木杖举起道：“也好，得罪了。”
原来罗慕路斯见师妹与凡埃克斗招落得下风，唯恐有失，又不愿被人说以二敌一，便来对付赛戈莱纳。只要擒得这个同伙，便可以此来挟制魔手画师。他为人沉稳，不愿多事，江湖上的名头尚不及他的两个师妹大，但论功夫却远比她们扎实，早被普罗文扎诺视为嫡系传人。是以罗慕路斯行事极是持重，唯恐有半分不谨，坏了西门一脉和教廷的名声。
罗慕路斯一见眼前这少年举起木杖，还以为他是没有防身的兵刃，情急之下随手抓来个物件就用，便开口提醒道：“如此决斗，未免不太公平。你惯用甚么兵刃？我可向亚诺什少爷借来。”赛戈莱纳淡淡道：“不妨事，我一向用这杖的。”罗慕路斯也便不再坚持，亮出西门福音的起手式，大声道：“那么请小心，我要进招了！”他内力鼓荡，白袍飘起，煞是飘逸之风。
赛戈莱纳见他的架势，发觉西门福音与马太福音果然系出同流，两者起手式虽各有巧妙，合在一起却互补阙漏，天衣无缝。就这么一闪神的功夫，罗慕路斯的钉头锤已然刺到面前，赛戈莱纳连忙举杖一记“神盾加恩”别住锤头的钉齿，十二宫气劲勃发，用力一扭，竟把钉头锤的势头扭转了回去。罗慕路斯大吃一惊，连忙催动内力，顶着钉头锤朝前捣去，两人相持不下，一锤一杖僵在中间，不住磕碰。忽然“砰”的一声，罗慕路斯拿着木杖，赛戈莱纳握紧钉头锤各自朝后倒退了三步。
两人虽是敌手，一时也不禁有些好笑。赛戈莱纳道：“不如我们换回来罢！”罗慕路斯点头道：“悉听尊便。”两人互相把兵器掷回给对方。西门福音招式严谨，颇重内力。罗慕路斯这些年来苦心修炼，已自信修为不下于任何一位高手，想不到眼前这少年的内力古怪，似乎犹在自己之上，心神不免有些震惊。他一甩钉头锤喝道：“阁下究竟是甚么人？”赛戈莱纳道：“我叫赛戈莱纳。”
罗慕路斯对欧罗巴各门各派的青年高手都有些见识，却从未听过这个名字，心想多半是假的，只好先擒下他，再盘问不迟。心意一定，他又施展开西门福音，挟带着阵阵风声挥将来。赛戈莱纳有心要比较两门福音的优劣，也不用奥卡姆真理拳，手中木杖只以马太福音对敌。两人俱是个中好手，转瞬间已经过了数十招，拼了一个势均力敌。西门持重，马太敦厚，两套功法走的都是以拙胜巧的稳重路子，赛戈莱纳与罗慕路斯全力施为，交攻进退竟十分合拍，如同给对方喂招一般。
罗慕路斯忽然使出一记“西门撑船”，三股内力合着钉头锤的威势，赛戈莱纳抱元守一，手中木杖旋风般地飞舞，每一杖都恰好挡在钉头锤的必进之路。罗慕路斯觑准空隙跳开五步之远，手中武器顿停，大声喝道：“这是马太福音的招式！！你究竟是谁？”
赛戈莱纳笑道：“我已说过了，本人大名叫赛戈莱纳，从不曾更改过。”罗慕路斯皱起眉头，这少年用杖的路数是马太福音一脉，内力却肆意奔流，与教廷深蕴内敛的心法大不相同。他心思缜密，怕这人与教廷或有些渊源，还是问个清楚为好。不料赛戈莱纳却不依不饶，他在摩尔多瓦时要么是被隐者那样的强敌打得大败亏输，要么是把帕夏、齐奥那样的对手打得一塌糊涂，除了约瑟夫大主教，还从不曾与人势均力敌地酣畅战过，今日碰到罗慕路斯这等无论内力、招式皆十分接近的敌手，他不由得战意大盛。
罗慕路斯见对方反扑了过来，只得舞起钉头锤，再度迎上去。每次杖锤相交，他都感觉到有凌厉内力渡过兵刃，突入自己十二宫内，四液沸腾，必须得凝神固守，才能勉强维持均衡。罗慕路斯心想马太福音以长劲绵长著称，加上这小子内力丰沛，如此下去自己恐怕只有落败的份儿。他伸手解开白袍搭扣，把袍子哗啦一下丢在地上，露出内里的短衣劲装来，面色凝重起来。赛戈莱纳道：“如此甚好，就该认真些才是！”一掌飞切过去，攻向他的二宫回廊。
他算定以罗慕路斯的性情，定会以钉头锤相挡，自己借机横扫木杖，用杖头点他腰间处女宫几处星命点，便避无可避。不料罗慕路斯却突然纵身闪避，转去赛戈莱纳背后，悄无声息地用左手食指去点他后心。赛戈莱纳猝然一惊，急忙翻身，木杖飞挑，挟着无比浑厚的内力直捅过去，罗慕路斯略抬高钉头锤，身子飘然横移，叮地一声轻轻磕在杖头。赛戈莱纳几番交手，顿觉罗慕路斯好似换了一个人，不再与自己硬硬相碰，举手发招举重若轻，纵横挪移起来无比巧妙。
他并不知道，这乃是西门福音中一门玄奥的功夫，名叫盈缺赦罪诀。昔日耶稣曾去西门家中做客，西门盛情款待，却有一个有罪的女子手持香膏玉瓶立在耶稣背后，以泪洗其脚，以发拭其足，以嘴吻其踝，以膏抹其背。耶稣便赦免她的罪过。西门惊问缘故，耶稣便道：“倘使有一债主，一人亏欠他五十个银元、一人亏欠五个银元。他欲免除债务，何者更爱他多些。”西门道：“自然是亏欠多的人。”耶稣便笑道：“自我进屋以来，你不拿水来濯我的足，不与我相亲，不用油抹我的头；这女子所为，实在你之上。是以她许多的罪都赦免了，因为她的爱多。但那赦免少的，他的爱就少。”
西门蒙了这个教诲，大彻大悟，从中学到“少能补缺，多不胜盈”的武学至理，于不足处补上三分内力，胜若在强横处加上十分，为纪念恩师，遂把这一法门取名叫“盈缺赦罪决”。这门功夫不在内力强大，而重运用之妙，往往用在关窍之处略补内劲，便可四两拨动千斤。
只是“盈缺赦罪决”颇为深奥，须对内学有极深造诣才有进境。普罗文扎诺门下众弟子，也只有罗慕路斯一个人能修习此决，如今已经学得了五成。赛戈莱纳虽蒙卡瓦纳修士教授，毕竟是野路子，罗慕路斯自幼身受教廷正宗，一招一式极有章法，与他不可同日而语。赛戈莱纳只得暗暗催动箴言内力，伺机而动。
那边厢凡埃克与切丽缠战良久，他见这少女每出一锤，口中必娇叱不已，觉得有些厌倦。他双笔一并，朗声叫道：“这位大小姐，留神了，我这一招叫做'横拖画布'！”切丽只道他下一招要横扫，把钉头锤倒提，一记“西门撑船”朝下捣去。不料凡埃克哈哈大笑道：“我说它是横拖，难道还真的横扫不成？”他二笔突地一并，朝着切丽的锤头用力一磕。切丽只觉得手腕酥软，几乎握不住锤柄。凡埃克窥准了这一空挡，左足少顿，脚下几下起落，身子已冲到礼拜党的另外一端。
这一下便不容比约齐和亚诺什不出手，他们身形一晃，一人使出雷神九锤，一人使出十字剑法，霎时汇成一道锋墙朝凡埃克推去。比约齐姑且不论，这个亚诺什的剑法如长虹贯日，一招之内竟抖出数朵剑花，竟不逊于杜兰德子爵。礼拜堂前地域狭窄，不便腾挪，凡埃克见难以突破，只得转身退了回来。
罗慕路斯与赛戈莱纳交手正炽，他见凡埃克弃了自己师妹，前来助拳，吃了一惊，朝后稍稍退却半步。凡埃克拍拍赛戈莱纳肩膀，道：“小友，今日兴致已尽，咱们散了罢。”赛戈莱纳虽想和罗慕路斯分出胜负，但也明白久战不利，等到大批城堡护卫闻声赶来，到时候就是插翅也难飞了。他们早有约定，东西到手以后，各自凭本事逃开，于是便“嗯”了一声。罗慕路斯剑眉一立，暴喝一声道：“留下东西，再走不迟！”挺锤直取凡埃克首级。
这一锤直直递进，迅捷无比，是罗慕路斯生平最得意的招数之一。他料定那四叶三叶草当是在凡埃克身上，是以弃赛戈莱纳于不顾，直逼魔手画师。凡埃克面露惊异，想要拿画笔去封已经来不及了，又不想伤了自己手指，便用了个缠字决，靠笔刷的绵软之力去化那直锋。罗慕路斯冷笑一声，钉锤依然不改去势，两个人一攻一缠，顷刻间追出十几步远。
赛戈莱纳看到他们两个斗了起来，拔足便往城墙边上走。切丽突然仗锤挡住，双眼尽是怨毒，上来就刺了数招，把刚才凡埃克口舌上积出来的怨恨，都发泄到了这金发小子身上。赛戈莱纳不欲与她多作纠缠，把木杖别在身后，见钉头锤已砸到，左手肘架住锤刺，右手奥卡姆真理拳立刻赫然轰出，这拳挟着浑厚内力，只一击便打碎了钉头锤的长柄。
切丽一时失了兵刃，一声尖叫，竟在原地不知所措。赛戈莱纳微微一笑，转身正要跳下城墙，突然感到腰间一凉，一柄薄刃匕首悄无声息地插入自己后心。他转头急视，见到那个白袍少女不知何时欺到自己身边，一双美眸冷若冰霜，几如她手中的匕首阴寒。这少女一直不曾作声，只在一旁暗暗观察，这时窥到赛戈莱纳毁了她师姐兵器，心神松懈之时，才在突然发难，一击而中，无论心思还是武功都实在令人不寒而栗。
这少女本来算定一击之下可以毙敌，不料赛戈莱纳内力充盈，这匕首刺进皮肉，竟未能深入。赛戈莱纳骤然负痛，下手便顾不得怜香惜玉，反手一掌拍到少女肩头。少女闷哼一声，松开匕首，喷出一口鲜血到他脸上，身子软软朝后仰倒。
这时比约齐和亚诺什飞步赶来，比约齐先到一步，雷神九锤直直捣来。赛戈莱纳身子滴溜溜转了数拳，左拳暴出。他情急之下内力流转加速，威力大增，这双拳一对，比约齐只觉得五指关节剧痛，那精钢拳套竟被打得凹进去一块，整个人被推开数步开外。赛戈莱纳见打退比约齐，不敢多留，暗暗一咬牙，就这么插着匕首纵身跃下城头。
比约齐还要追赶，却被亚诺什按住肩膀。亚诺什望着城下阴影，冷笑道：“在这贝尔格莱德城内，我匈雅提家族还不曾有寻不着的人！”
贝尔格莱德城堡本是一座要塞，塔楼林立，堡垒交叠，裙道颇多，大军从外围攻之极难；对一个轻功了得的盗贼来说，却是天造地设的逃命之地。赛戈莱纳知道插在身上的匕首不可轻拔，否则鲜血涌出，一发不可收拾，遂强忍着伤口疼痛，在塔梯之间忽上很下，高低腾跃，很快跳出了外围城墙。
他甫一落地，身后的城堡吊桥便隆隆放下，人喊马嘶，看火把的数量，少说也有几百人。赛戈莱纳怎想到贝尔格莱德的守军反应如此迅速，当下不敢停留，脚下发足狂奔。
贝尔格莱德城镇幅员颇大，赛戈莱纳心想只要随便跑去一条小巷，便寻不着了。谁知那些守军有条不紊，分作几十个小队，沿着城镇街道汹汹分进，数条火线如水银泻地，竟是丝毫破绽也无。突然远处一声悠长的号角声起，赛戈莱纳猛一抬头，发觉贝尔格莱德城中每隔半个街区，便有一栋高大的木制瞭望塔。此时听到城内号角警报，这些塔顶一起举火，贝尔格莱德霎时间火星点点，全城都在这些哨所光芒覆盖之下。塔台上值班的俱是弓弩好手，居高临下见了可疑之人，不经发问，即可放箭。
赛戈莱纳哪里知道，贝尔格莱德久在奥斯曼土耳其的兵势威逼之下，早锤炼出了一套天罗地网的城防体系。他暗暗叫苦，自己一面须得防着追兵，一面还得防着这些塔台的弓箭。任凭他脚程再快，也断断避不过塔台哨兵的视线。
他正想着，耳畔嗖地飞过一支羽箭。赛戈莱纳侧头一抬，看到右边一处塔台上有人搭弓射来，心头大怒，俯身捡起一快石子，运起箴言内力甩出去。石子去势极为猛烈，噗地一声，一下子把射箭之人砸下台来。不料塔台上尚有第二个人，他见同伴受袭，立刻敲响一个吊在塔台的小铜钟。在城中搜索的大队人马听到钟声警示，纷纷掉转队伍，从四面汇过来。
赛戈莱纳弄巧成拙，只得压低脑袋，贴着墙壁尽量沿死角疾行。又转了数个弯，凭他的耳力能听出四面八方都有脚步声纷纷传来。赛戈莱纳走投无路，他定了定神，看到前方街道右侧有栋敞净的砖石三层小楼，青藤爬墙，窗扇镂花，颇为精致，三楼有一扇窗户微微打开。他也不想许多，双手一扯爬藤，借力纵身跳进窗户。
他跳入屋内刚一落地，眼前先是一片漆黑。还没等赛戈莱纳调匀呼吸，忽然感到身侧一阵若有若无的掌力扑来。这掌力无根无由，似是无处不在，却又难以捉摸，饶是赛戈莱纳身负绝学，一时也无法闪避，“噗”地一声被这一掌拍倒在地，四肢酸软，几乎爬不起来。
一盏小烛台被悄然点燃，屋内多了几许昏黄光线。赛戈莱纳勉强抬起头来，见到屋子里坐着一位身着深黑修女服的老嬷嬷，离自己有数步之遥。她双目微闭，手持念珠，脖子上挂着象牙制的圣母小像，胸前还绣着一朵百合。
这老嬷嬷也不睁眼，只是把小拇指轻轻一挑，那小烛台里的火头便簌地弹出，划成三点火星飞过屋中，将赛戈莱纳身后三个角落里的三盏烛台点燃，屋中亮了许多。老嬷嬷这时才微微抬起眼皮，用意大利语讶道：“圣母玛丽娅！竟是个孩子么？”
