670 Things are not simple

The smell of the sewer was extremely bad, and in order not to disturb the magic fluctuations and alarm the enemy, Beta didn't even use the water mirror technique, so he directly and Heidi carefully searched the sewer.

After checking the east and west sewers, they found no landlords, they came to the sewers in the northern suburbs of the city, but they were about to enter, but Beta suddenly grabbed Heidi, and he silently pointed to the lid of the sewers, where a long dark blonde hair reflected a faint light in the bright moonlight.

Around the manhole cover, there are also some very inconspicuous footprints.

Although the priests have deliberately hidden their whereabouts and tried to erase their footprints, they are not professional counter-reconnaissance personnel after all.

Beta has its own cloud dragon pupils and can see places that ordinary people can't see, while Heidi is an archer, and archers have another name...... Hunter.

Her reconnaissance and tracking skills are not weak.

"One-two...... Six. Heidi looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Six different pairs of footprints, one of which is smaller, it should be the female paladin, and another pair of footprints are particularly heavy, it should be carrying something, I guess it is Lux." ”

Heidi glanced at the ground for a moment to what seemed normal to the average person, and came to this conclusion.

The gap between professional and non-professional is that big.

Then the two of them left, knowing that the enemy was most likely hiding in this place, so there was no need to move them.

After leaving a certain range here, Heidi asked, "Let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion now and report this place to Nadette?" ”

Beta thought for a moment and said, "Don't you think it's strange? ”

"Huh?" Heidi snorted softly through her nose, although it was a questioning tone, but her voice was low with a strange sense of seduction.

"It stands to reason that in addition to the thieves and archers in our team, there should be people in other noble families and even in the army who are good at scouting." Beta softened his tone and said, "The priests don't have a strong ability to hide their tracks, but why are we the only ones who have found it?" ”

Heidi was stunned for a moment.

Beta continued: "It's not so much that they can't find it, but that they deliberately don't want to find it. ”

Heidi understood, and there was a murderous look in his eyes: "Someone is secretly targeting Nadette? ”

Beta sighed: "It's a normal thing, no matter what age, no matter what plane, there are few people who send charcoal in the snow, and there are many people who fall into the well. ”

Heidi sneered twice, as if he remembered something bad, and then said: "That's true, so what should I do next?" ”

"We don't need to show up, stay in the shadows, it's easier for us to help Nadette." Beta looked at the bright moon in the night sky and said, "But we have to quietly tell him the news that the priests are hiding here, such as long-distance arrows and something." ”

"Do you want me to pass one on to you?" Heidi glanced at Beta seductively.

Waiver......

Nadette sat in his study, quiet on the surface, but already very anxious in his heart.

The daughter has not been found yet, and the deadline given by the holy warrior is only two days, and anyone facing such a predicament will be restless.

'Huh'

An arrow came through the window and nailed to the wall to his right.

Nadette's hand grabbed the sword on the table at the same moment, but then relaxed, for he saw a blank piece of paper tied to the middle of the arrow.

As he walked over, he took the arrow off and opened the paper with a smile of surprise. It turns out that Heidi and Cook have returned. Although Arnold, whom he trusts more, has not yet returned, both Cook and Heidi are quite capable.

As for Cook, after observing some time ago, he knew very well that this young man had great abilities.

Especially now that his judgment about the two of them hiding and acting in secret, Nadette felt that this young man had quite a good intuitive understanding of both the battle situation and the political situation.

Perth is also a spellcaster, but compared to Cook, he is crushed in all directions.

Sure enough, compared to the Wild Mage, the starting point and upper limit of the Academy Mage are too high.

With the good news, Nadette was in a better mood, rubbing his pockets, leaning back in his chair, and closing his eyes. After a while, there was a knock on the door, and he shouted to come in, and the door was pushed open.

Assh walked in, dragging a man with a cloth towel tied around his mouth and muttering.

Seeing this man, there was obvious anger on Nadette's face: "Let him speak." ”

The dirty cloth towel from the man's mouth was ripped off.

Nadette looked at him coldly and said, "Ralph, I'm curious why you betrayed me. I think I'm pretty good for you. Do you think you'll be able to escape? Do you think the Temple of Light in the Pleiades will be able to keep you? ”

Ralph's legs had been broken, he sat on the ground with a pale face, looked up at Nadette, and laughed miserably: "City Lord, I didn't betray you, I just targeted your vicious daughter." ”

Hearing this, Nadette's anger erupted, and he threw out a book and smashed it on Ralph's forehead. Then let out a roar.

"Lux is my daughter, she is vicious or not, it should be up to me to decide, you as my servant, against my will, isn't this a betrayal?"

Nadette also said that the warrior, his strength was not enough, and he threw Ben out of the barrel chamber.

Ralph was hit the head, and the whole person fell to the ground, not only was the blood flowing from the place where he was hit, but the inside of his head was also buzzing, and it was pitch black in front of him, and it took a while for him to come to his senses, barely able to see.

Nadette sat in his chair and waited for Ralph to wake up. Seeing that he opened his eyes, he said, "Why, Ralph, give me a reason, if it is reasonable, I may spare your life." ”

"Hehehe, I was mentally prepared to be captured and executed by you. You don't need to pretend to be a city lord. Ralph sneered as he sat up, "But for your pity, I'll tell you why." Because I'm afraid of your daughter, she's too vicious and vicious, maybe she's very well-behaved in front of you, at best a little coquettish, but that's just an illusion, she has been killing people since she was ten years old. ”

"It can't be!" Nadette was a little frightened, but still didn't believe it: "If you know, why don't you tell me." ”

"I told you." Ralph laughed miserably: "When she was twelve years old, she quietly killed a beautiful girl with outsiders. Because there is no conclusive evidence, I only vaguely mentioned this matter in front of you, but you didn't take it seriously, and a few days later, my eldest daughter disappeared. Since then, I have never dared to mention her again, nor have I dared to act out of any way. ”
