After most of the day's discussion, in the end, Gus, Shirji, Farnese, Crete, Serpico, Bald Yasan and others were still unable to discuss or formulate an effective and reliable solution.
Find a safe way.
Therefore, in the end, they had to plan to follow the arrangements of the enemies of Falconia City and prepare to go to a certain location designated by the opponent on time in a few days to exchange prisoners.
In response, on the evening of the next day, the 'messenger' who was finally released, the Isto who had little value in the eyes of the enemy, and who also had little value in the eyes of Gus and others,
Luo and the other party's elf Buck naturally once again took Gus' reply letter to the place where he was released before to communicate.
"Hello!"
"Isidoro, look, it's almost dark, will they still be here?"
"You didn't run away first, did you?"
"It's very scary at night in the wild. There are all kinds of scary monsters and monsters. It doesn't matter to me, but it's probably difficult for you to avoid them at night!"
"How about we go back first?"
"..."
"no!"
"Buck, let's go a little further."
"I remember……"
"It seems to be a little ahead?"
Looking behind him, he found that the invisible City of Holy Light border outpost in the distance had disappeared. Looking at the sun in front of him that had already dropped below the horizon, Isidoro was discussing and arguing with Buck.
After two sentences, he gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.
Although Isidoro also knew that the wilderness in this world has become very dangerous, especially at night, but thinking of his mission and the life safety of the old priest, he still gritted his teeth and continued on.
Walking forward.
"stop!"
Finally, Isidoro's guess was correct. After he continued walking a few hundred meters, a sharp shout stopped him.
"Hey!"
"Boy!"
"You are finally back..."
"We thought you didn't dare to come out again!"
In this way, when Isidoro was escorted out of the country by a small group of paladins, when those paladins had returned and disappeared, when Isidoro walked a certain distance south, before it got dark, he was killed.
Two of the flying apostles who had been escorted to the area finally appeared. With a sinister smile, they suddenly appeared from the dense forest and surrounded him.
"how?"
"Have you seen their black swordsman?"
"Say it!"
"The rebels of the kingdom in the City of Holy Light, are they willing to exchange prisoners with us?"
Then, one of them, a ferocious-looking monster that looked like a giant bat but had six pairs of arms at the same time, eagerly approached Isidoro and opened its foul-smelling face full of saliva.
His huge mouth asked loudly and pitifully.
It can be seen that they have been waiting here all day and night, and now they are a little impatient.
"Wow!!"
Seeing that it was indeed the two familiar and terrifying flying apostles, the elf Buck naturally screamed in fright and immediately hid in the grass nearby.
“…..”
"..."
However, the two apostles did not pay attention to Buck. They just continued to block Isidoro one after another and waited viciously.
"Gulu!"
Seeing this, even though it was not his first contact, Isidoro was still a little scared and swallowed subconsciously, and then answered stiffly with a trembling sentence:
"See you, see you!"
"I……"
"They gave me a letter and asked me to take it and deliver it to your commander."
"You see?"
Saying that, Isidoro quickly took out a letter covered with Holy Light Emblem ink from his arms and waved it toward the two apostles. Then, before the other party reached out to take it, he hid it again and hurriedly said
Added:
"Don't worry yet!"
"The Great Lord Gus, the black swordsman you mentioned, asked me to personally hand it over to your commander in charge of the prisoner exchange, and then go back with his reply!"
"besides!"
"They also asked me to see the old priest and confirm that he is still alive. Otherwise, you will not be able to exchange for those people and the body of Gulen Belludo!"
"I!"
"I didn't lie to you, it's true!"
“That’s what they said!!”
Seeing the impatient and even more terrifying expressions on the faces of the two ferocious apostles, who were about to eat him in one bite, Isidoro even though his feet were weak with fear, he still suppressed a certain emotion.
And he said stubbornly and loudly.
"..."
"..."
Upon hearing Isidoro's words, the two apostles were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other impatiently.
"what to do?"
"Jie!"
"What else can be done?"
"Let's go!"
"Bring him back first and let Lord Zuo De decide!"
"Too."
Then, after the two apostles briefly exchanged opinions in annoyance, they soon discovered that one of them looked very ferocious, looking like a huge bat with ugly horns on his head, and a total of six
The monster on the opposite arm suddenly stretched out a big hand, grabbed Isidoro into the palm of his hand, then jumped up, and flew south quickly with its companions fluttering their wings.
"?!"
"Wow!!"
Realizing that he was caught by the opponent and suddenly flew higher into the sky, Isidoro couldn't help but screamed.
However, the two apostles did not care about his feelings, they just flapped their wings and flew south quickly, not daring to stay any longer.
"Hello!"
"Isidoro?"
"hateful!"
"Wait for me!!"
At this time, when he saw his friend being carried away by the two flying apostle monsters again, although the elf Buck was extremely frightened in his heart, he gritted his teeth and flew up quickly, and waited for a while.
He barely caught up and grabbed Isidoro's hair tightly.
Just like that, it didn't take long for the two flying apostles lurking in this area to fly farther and farther with Isidoro and the elf Buck, and finally disappeared into the southern sky, except for the area covered by the sunset.
No trace could be seen outside the red clouds all over the sky.
"Aha!"
()
And it wasn't until this moment that a troubled little girl suddenly appeared out of thin air at the place where Isidoro had just been taken away, looking maliciously towards the south.
"..."
()hey-hey!
Then, she didn't know what she was thinking of, but she laughed strangely to herself.
"Hello!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
"Shirji, they have flown far away, why don't you come out quickly?"
|ω)
"Your magic phantom spell is so bad, and the noise you make when you walk is too loud. People have already heard it!"
()
After finishing laughing, Annie suddenly turned serious and turned to look at a big tree behind her to the north in the direction of the City of Holy Light, and started teasing him angrily.
"..."
"..."
The next second, as expected, Anne saw Shirji and Shirji, who were wearing blue witch robes, a blue witch hat on their heads, and holding a big broken wooden wand that was taller and bigger than her height.
The elf Ibarella from the other party's family all turned out from behind the big tree and looked at her with doubtful eyes.
Obviously, the two of them who secretly followed Isidoro here to ensure each other's safety did not expect that a certain annoying little girl who was very impatient at the meeting yesterday would also come today, and...
It is easy to guess from their expressions that they seemed to have failed to detect Anne's presence along the way.
"Annie..."
"I didn't expect you to come with me, huh?"
"You also want to take the opportunity to save people?"
Then, after slowly walking to Anne's side and looking towards the south with Anne for a while, Shirji sighed quietly and asked.
She came here without consulting Gus and the others, and when she came with Isidoro, she thought she could find the enemy's temporary camp and see if she could take an opportunity to rescue the old priest or something, but she didn't expect that here
What appeared was just two apostles to help?
It's okay now. The other party flew away with Isidoro and Buck. She didn't dare to pursue them openly even after they missed them. Therefore, apart from staring at Annie, she could do nothing.
can not do this.
"no!"
()
"People just come to watch the fun!"
o(*︶*)o
"Didn't they say that? You have to solve your own affairs, and others won't care about your nonsense!"
(*`)
Seeing that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, Annie hurriedly spoke crisply and quickly corrected her.
Anyway, whether she came here really just to watch the fun or for something else is her own business, Queen Anne, and she doesn't need to think about Shirji in front of her or anyone else making a report.
!
"this!"
"Is that so?"
He opened his mouth in surprise, and then Shirji, who didn't know what to say, smiled bitterly and asked worriedly after a while:
"That……"
"Tell me, are Isidoro and Buck in danger?"
Although, that Isidoro didn't like Shirji very much, and when he just arrived yesterday, he was punished with magic by her for offending her, but no matter what, the one who came to save others
She admired and worried the kid who traveled back and forth and even took the risk to negotiate with the apostles again. Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed him secretly using the Disguise Charm that she was not very proficient in.
"Strange, why is it dangerous?"
(.)
"They are so weak and useless at all. Even the two bad apostles just now can crush them to death with one claw. Even the enemies won't take guys like them seriously, right?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"Besides, those bad guys wanted him to send a message back and arrange a time and place with the idiot Uncle Gus to exchange hostages. How could they kill him so easily?"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Seeing the worry on the faces of Shirji and the elf Ibarela, Anne curled her lips first, and then said with some disdain.
Of course, what she didn't say was that although the apostles would not embarrass Isidoro too much, if the other party did not understand and angered the apostles, he would definitely suffer a lot or lose an arm or a leg.
.
"Um……"
"makes sense."
"I can rest assured that."
Shirji looked at each other with his elf Ibarella and felt that what Annie said did make sense. Shirji was basically relieved as he had basically the same idea as his own.
"correct!"
"Annie, I saw that you seemed to have been arguing with Erica and Isidoro for half the night last night, and you didn't go back to the room to sleep until very late. Do you have any plans with Erica and Isidoro?
?”
After a pause, and suddenly thinking of something, Shirji stared at Anne suspiciously for a while, then pretended to think of it inadvertently and blinked his eyes and asked.
It was obvious that some things in the castle last night must have been seen by Shirji and remembered in his heart. Then, today, when he saw Anne who had been indifferent to the exchange of prisoners and other matters that worried them all,
But he followed him out again, which made Shirji start to have wild thoughts and at the same time, he had some kind of expectation in his heart.
"plan?"
く(＾_)ゝ
"what's the plan?"
(゜-゜)
"We were fighting with Erica and Isidoro last night. What's the plan?"
(_)ヾ
Annie started to act stupid, and in turn looked at Shirji and the elf Ibarella with that confused and incomprehensible innocent look.
"??"
"Fight, fight the landlord?"
"But……"
"The landlords have provoked you, why should we fight them?"
Shirji obviously didn't understand what Anne meant. He just looked at each other with Ibarela and then continued to ask a little at a loss.
"oops!"
(;￢＿￢)
"It's not the kind of landlord fight you think!"
(ˇˇ)
"That's a card game!"
(︶︿︶)
"Anyway! I will teach you how to play someday, but if you lose, you will get a spanking!"
(゜▽＾*)
After saying that, Annie took a malicious look at Shirji's butt.
Actually, when they were playing last night, they were hitting the palms of their hands, and they still used Buck's weapon, that kind of hairy chestnut, so that after a few games, the palms of both Erica and Isidoro were...
It was red and swollen, and Erica was beaten to the point of tears, not to mention how pitiful she was.
but!
If she is playing with Miss Shirji in front of her, Anne feels that she can change the rules of punishment, and then call Clete or Sister Farnese and take the opportunity to use that kind of punishment harshly.
Mao Lizi is going to beat them up?
"ah?"
"What does Landlord Dou mean?"
After hearing what Annie said, and then thinking that what he heard last night was indeed the three people playing and the occasional wailing and pain, Shirji finally nodded clearly, then quickly turned around and retreated without leaving a trace.
One step to prevent Anne from looking behind her any more.
"But if it's playing cards, forget it."
"I'm not interested in card games."
"Including divination and tarot cards."
It's true that Shirji is a witch, but she is different from ordinary witches, and she is even more different from those fake witches who pretend to be gods and ghosts. She is more interested in learning and exploring the true meaning of magic, rather than studying specious prophecies.
and divination, so she couldn't arouse any interest even in that kind of entertaining board and card games.
Besides, when she was caught by a bad little girl, she could have been spanked for no reason. The humiliation made her blush even thinking about it now, so how could she be so embarrassed?
Would you feel uncomfortable sending it to your door again?
"But!"
!(;o)o
"Landlord fighting is very fun. Sister Shirji, don't you really want to try it?"
(.)
"How about we play with Sister Farnese tonight?"
(-)
Originally, Anne wanted to find Crete, but that guy was probably worried about something now and was definitely not in the mood to play with them, so she had no choice but to come up with Farnese's idea.
She had secretly seen that the weird sister took off her shirt and slapped herself on the back every night before praying to the Holy Light. She didn't seem to be afraid of pain, and she also had some kind of quirk. If she suggested using
If Mao Lizi goes for a spanking, I guess the other party won't mind too much?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"No."
"Thanks!"
Unfortunately, Shirji still didn't give Anding a chance and decisively refused again.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
"Annie..."
"After dinner yesterday, Erica came to me to pick up the spell book and some magic materials. She also took away one of my things. Do you know what she was going to do?"
While changing the topic, Shirji thought for a while, and then suddenly asked about something again. While asking, he stared at Anne's white and red face with suspicion and thinking eyes.
Her pretty face, I don’t know what she wants to see.
"Erica?"
(.)
"Why don't you just go to her and ask her what she wants to do?"
(^▽^)
Blinking, Annie had no intention of answering Shirji's question. She just smiled and continued to pretend to be stupid and suggested with a strange look on her face.
"..."
Shirji didn't speak, just frowned and stared at Annie motionlessly.
She seemed to be able to tell that a certain troubled little girl seemed to know something, but Annie didn't want to say that she didn't have any good ideas.
"All right."
"I'll ask!"
For a long time, after seeing that he couldn't get any useful information, Shirji finally nodded as if he had given up.
"Then do you know where she went today?"
"She disappeared early in the morning."
Something seemed to be wrong, but Shirji didn't know exactly what was wrong for the time being, so she planned to go back and immediately went to Erica to ask.
She believed that her student would not and would not dare to hide anything from her, the teacher.
Besides, she has plenty of ways to make Erica tell her the truth!
"I do not know!"
(`)
"How about you go back and ask Gus and the others?"
()
Anne still didn't know what was going on, and she still looked like she was ignoring and laughing because it didn't have anything to do with her.
"OK!"
(~)
"Sister Shierji, I'm going somewhere else to play, so I won't tell you anymore. Goodbye!"
(^_)☆
After saying that, looking at a certain difficult witch lady who was about to speak but couldn't believe it, and seemed to have something to ask herself, Anne quickly reached out to interrupt the other party, blinked and said gorgeously.
He turned around, and then disappeared without a trace.
"wrong!"
"Shirji!"
"I always feel like she is hiding something from you!"
"She's not telling the truth!"
At this time, until Annie left, Ibarella, who had been a little afraid of Annie until now, flew in front of Shirji and angrily expressed her suspicions with her hands on her hips.
"I know……"
"never mind."
"No matter what it is, let's go find Erica and ask."
"Let's go!"
"Let's go back first."
With that said, Shirji signaled Ibarela to hold on to the brim of her hat, and she slowly closed her eyes. At the same time, she began to mutter something, and the big wand in her hand began to wave rhythmically.
Snapped!!
The next moment!
Shortly after Annie used some kind of teleportation magic to leave, Shirji also used the phantom transformation magic that she had learned not long ago, and then instantly disappeared into a black smoke, taking Ibarella with him and disappearing in this place.
The wilderness is illuminated red by the sunset.
