Although there are several hidden ventilation holes, and some light is streaming through them, the basement is still extremely dim.

After a while, Heidi was a little nervous, she had just woken up, her eyes were not used to such darkness, and inexplicable fear attacked her heart.

She remembered that the flying one-handed hammer smashed directly into her shoulder, if it weren't for the fact that she was an agility profession and was born with fast reactions, that terrible hammer would definitely stick to her face.

The thought of that kind of death with a flowering face and a splash of brains fell into deep fear. She had always thought that she had been a mercenary for so many years, and she had long looked down on life and death, but the one-handed hammer that whistled broke her fragile spiritual shell.

She finally realized that she was actually very afraid of death, and even more afraid of dying in an ugly appearance.

It was dark all around, and Heidi looked left and right, wondering what this place was, after all, most women would have a strong sense of uneasiness when they woke up in a dark and unfamiliar environment.

For a moment, she thought that she had been abandoned in such a remote and quiet place, and her heart gradually cooled.

But at this time, a familiar voice came from the side: "Are you awake?" ”

Heidi turned her head in surprise, and there was a person sitting behind her, and the dim shadow gradually turned into a rather familiar appearance.

"Cook."

Heidi murmured softly and threw herself into Beta's arms, weeping.

Beta gently patted Heidi on the back and didn't speak.

Heidi's crying was helpless at first, but after a while, her crying quieted down and seemed much more relieved.

Probably because the basement was a little stuffy, Beta felt Heidi's body temperature rising.

Just as he was about to ask if she was feeling unwell, a force pushed Beta to the ground.

Beta was a little confused, and then Heidi's soft and warm lips kept falling on his face.

I have to say that the experience of people who have come here is enough, not only did she take the initiative to kiss Beta, but she did not stop her hand, and she untied most of Beta's robe in three or two clicks.

"Wait...... You are crazy? Beta reacted and tried to push Heidi away, but Heidi hugged him very tightly, as if he would disappear as soon as he let go

Heidi gasped, raised his head, and said with a pair of eyes lit up: "I'm going to vent, if you don't give it to me, I'll go out and find other men immediately." ”

Beta is well aware that when humans are faced with a desperate situation, or for a period of time after a desperate situation, they will have a strong urge to reproduce, which is a biological instinct, wanting to leave something before they die. But Heidi's movement is too exaggerated.

He didn't know how domineering the mark left by the butterfly girl was on him, and the elven sheriff's wife was symbolically touched twice by him, and both of them were on the way. And during this time, Heidi came to Beta's side from time to time, and it was strange that he didn't know how to do it.

It's not just biohazard instinct, it's also the reason for his odd talent.

Beta sighed and gently stroked Heidi's back with her right hand, comfortably making Heidi's eyes narrow.

Beta's hand continued upwards, to the neck, and stroked gently.

Heidi's neck was smooth and slender, and she even narrowed her eyes like a cat when she was tickled.

But in the next second, Heidi rolled her eyes and fell asleep.

Beta puts Heidi back on the blanket.

Although Heidi is pretty, Beta really has no interest in her. Some time ago, I 'played' with Judy for eighteen hours, and almost emptied his kidneys, and now I still feel a little sore in my waist.

Even a beautiful woman like Angel was lying defenselessly in front of Beta, and he didn't make a move, not to mention that Heidi was inferior. If he is really sexually interested, he will directly teleport back to Green Manor to find Judy, and the latter will not refuse, so why bother picking wildflowers and making a mess of the relationship.

In fact, the most important reason is that Beta admires Nadette, and he has already hacked a lot of the other party's magic materials, so he doesn't plan to harm Nadette's lover again. As a man, there is always some bottom line.

As for Uther, the city lord of Winterwind City, Beta just said twice, you are unkind, I am unjust, there is nothing to say.

When all the noise outside stopped, Beta used magic to open the underground chamber, and it was already the evening of the next day, Beta picked up Heidi, came out of the chamber, and walked deeper into the woods.

After walking for two hours, it was completely dark, and Beta found a flat meadow, first baked the nearby ground with magic flames, chased away the poisonous insects hiding under the roots, and at the same time removed the moisture, and then spread the blanket, and finally put Heidi on the blanket.

Beta picked up some dry branches and dead leaves and started a fire.

It didn't take long for Heidi to wake up, her eyes were a little dazed at first, and then the firelight in front of her made her feel warm, and her thoughts gradually cleared up.

"Why am I here?" Heidi covered her forehead and looked around.

Beta handed over a piece of jerky from the side, which was a spare dry food placed in the mansion.

Heidi's head was still a little dizzy, she remembered that she was going to knock down Beta?

"I sent you here." Beta said calmly, "When we escaped from Eren City before, you fainted in the middle of the way, and I took you to the woods to escape the pursuit of those enemy cavalry. ”

"Really?" Heidi will be skeptical.

After a day's sleep, Heidi was indeed hungry, so she rubbed the jerky and ate it silently.

Because it is a forest, there are many insects and birds chirping around, and there is also the rustle of leaves in the night wind.

After a while, Heidi suddenly said, "I had a dream in which you locked me in a small dark room underground, and then forced me. ”

Beta said amusefully, "What the hell do you think of me?" ”

Heidi smiled and didn't speak.

After a long time, she suddenly said, "Thank you." ”

Beta didn't respond, but everyone knew what was going on.

The two took turns keeping vigil, and by the next day, they were on the road normally. They stayed at the edge of the woods, following the road all the way on.

Around the end of the evening, the two settled in a small town and rented two houses to rest.

In Echo City, Lux was sulking, first teased and insulted by Cook's house, and then heard that the woman's face had been cured. How can this work? There can't be a better-looking woman in Echo City.

Mo Ming's anger was blocked in her chest, and she couldn't vent it, so she became sulky, and she hadn't slept well for nearly half a month.

Lux knew exactly what the reason was, she had to get revenge and humiliate Cook, or get the woman back, scratch her face, lock her up again, drink something to eat every day, and see who could get her face back.

In this way, she can sleep.

When he was depressed, there was a knock on the door, and Lux scolded angrily, "Who's outside." ”

"It's me, Ralph."

Ralph was their housekeeper, and Lux, half-lying on the bed, said, "Open the door and come in." ”

The middle-aged butler walked in and bowed slightly.

"Ralph, what's the matter with you?"

The middle-aged housekeeper lowered his head and said, "Miss, the woman you asked me to check was found by us in Pujia Village, and now she has been smuggled back to the city by our people and placed in a place that no one knows. ”

Lux jumped up from the bed and asked in surprise, "Did you really find it?" My father didn't know. ”

"We were very careful and didn't let anyone know." The middle-aged man smiled: "And now that the master has gone out to deal with government affairs, if the young lady is interested, she can go and see that woman." ”

"Go, go now. Ralph, you go out first, I want to change clothes. ”

Ralph saluted and closed the door.

Lux quickly changed her clothes, went downstairs with excitement, got into the carriage that Ralph had prepared, and left the City Lord's Mansion.

The carriage continued to go further and further near the outskirts of the city, and it was now completely dark. Lux was in the car and couldn't help but ask, "Ralph, how much longer?" ”

"It's coming, miss." Ralph's voice came from the front.

Lux settled down and waited. Sure enough, as Ralph said, it didn't take long for the carriage to reach its destination.

Jumping out of the carriage, Lux looked ahead, a small dilapidated wooden building standing in the darkness, the dim light shining through the window.

"People are in there?" Lux asked, turning her head.

Ralph nodded.

Lux immediately rushed over excitedly, pushed the door with the car, and then her face stiffened.

There were no women inside, only five white-robed priests, whose eyes looked cold and unforgiving under the dim oil lamp.

Lux was not stupid, she knew that something was wrong, and was about to step back, but there was a strong push behind her, and she fell into the room and fell to the ground.

Enduring the pain in her body, Lux sat up, looked back at the person at the door, and asked angrily, "Ralph, are you crazy?" ”

Ralph ignored her, but looked at the five white-robed priests inside, and smiled: "Lord Hodgson, I have brought the people, please remember your promise." ”

"Don't worry, I'll give you enough gold." A rather dignified middle-aged man with a flat head said lightly: "You will go to Maang City now, if you are late, you may be caught by Nadette's cavalry." ”

Ralph nodded and left.

"Ralph, Ralph, you come back for me."

Lux shouted desperately, then stood up, trying to run away, but Ralph was outside, and had already closed the door. She is a weak woman, how can she open this thick wooden door.

A priest walked over and clattered his heavy boots on the ground.

"I tell you, my father is the lord of the city here, Nadette, and if you dare to hurt me by a hair, you will die." Lux turned around, leaned her back against the door, and cursed inwardly.

The priest's face was still cold, and he raised his hand and slapped Lux.

After a muffled thud, the Lux man fell to the ground on his side, the entire left side of his face swollen like a steamed bun, blood oozing from his mouth, and two large teeth fell out of his right fang.

The priest wore iron gloves on his hands, and this slap directly knocked Lux unconscious.

He then grabbed Lux's right foot, dragged her to the bottom of the stairs of the house, and threw her into the storage room like garbage.

After doing all this, the man returned to his companion and sat down. None of the five spoke, but sat quietly, as if they were five stone sculptures that could not move.

When Nadette came back from outside, he felt a little strange when he didn't see the butler come out to greet him, and then he went upstairs and looked down, and found that his daughter was not in the room, so he was a little dissatisfied, and he muttered, "I said that it might be dangerous in the near future, so I told her not to go out, but she didn't listen." Ralph is also not sensible, how can he run around outside with Lux. ”

Casually asked the cook to make him something to eat, Nadette returned to his study to attend to other business matters, but found that there was a piece of stationery on the table.

He was a little puzzled, and when he picked it up, his face gradually turned blue.

Enraged, he tore the letter to shreds, and almost gritted his teeth and spat out the words: "Ralph, you traitor who is not worthy of death." ”

Taking a deep breath, Nadette let himself be as cold as possible, and then he rode out of the City Lord's Mansion and went directly to the barracks not far away.

"Carnegie, I want you to immediately lead four hundred cavalry to surround Abina's farm on the outskirts of the eastern city, and now go over immediately."

An officer who ran down on one knee was ordered to walk away quickly.

"Judd, you immediately cordon off the entire Echo City with all the soldiers, and sound the alarm bells, impose a curfew, and then the sheriff will take people to check all the hotels to see if there are any suspicious people."

Another officer left.

"Assh, you go find the rats, let them find them, and provide the news of the young lady, if there is any definite information, I will reward the rat leader with a hundred gold coins."

Watching the last officer leave, Nadette felt a headache.

As soon as Arnold and other combat forces were sent out for more than ten days, the other party managed to buy off the housekeeper and kidnap his daughter...... Careless. Thinking that after killing Payne, and letting Arnold and others assassinate Bemessi, as soon as these two people died, Terson in the other city would surrender.

Unexpectedly, Terson, who has always been looked down upon by him and is timid by nature, actually put him along.

He sat in the barracks, waiting anxiously, and every minute felt like a year.

It seemed like a long, long time later, when a soldier finally came back and reported: "City lord, Abinah's farm is empty, it is an abandoned farm. ”

Although he had long known that there would be no one there, Nadette still had the mentality of just in case and asked people to go over and check, and now when he heard this, he was not too disappointed.

After a while more, an officer named Assh came back and reported: "The rats do not know where Mademoiselle is, but they have overheard that Ralph butler has gone out of the city, and in the evening, in the direction of the city of Maon. ”

"Send light cavalry and scouts to capture him at once." At the end, Nadette added in a cold tone: "Before you catch him, break his hands and legs." ”
