Chapter 155 Mrs. Sally

What happened back then was undoubtedly a nightmare for Ulysses. His kidnapping was a long-planned conspiracy.

Compared with most other nobles, Ulysses' family is not harsh on the servants, and can even be said to be quite tolerant and gentle. When Ulysses was a child, he had a personal maid who took care of him.

She was a very good girl. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old at the time. She can't remember her appearance clearly, but Ulysses remembered her smile, which looked a little honest and honest. There were dimples on both sides of the corners of her mouth, which made people look at her.

She was very happy, and Ulysses also liked her very much.

Because of this, she was responsible for taking care of five-year-old Ulysses.

The only bad thing is that she has a very, very bad boyfriend.

How bad was it? I owed a huge amount of debt in a gambling house and was even forced to die.

Even when death is imminent, one's words may not be good, and one's mind may be deceived.

He cried bitterly and said that he could get the money, but it would only take a little time, but of course this was not convincing. Just before the knife fell, he screamed and told his plan - to let his girlfriend

He took Ulysses out alone and then kidnapped Ulysses to blackmail the Grand Duchess.

Wealth is gained through risk. This plan sounds very crude at first, but the benefits it will bring after it is completed are also extremely huge. In this way, someone is tempted and starts planning and deploying it seriously.

The innocent maid was coaxed by her boyfriend's sweet talk and took Ulysses out alone. In the end, both of them were kidnapped, the maid was directly killed, and Ulysses was taken overnight to a small village far away from the royal city.

stand up.

Fortunately, Ulysses was not treated cruelly, perhaps because of the common people's instinctive fear of the aristocrats and the importance they attached to this cash cow. In short, although Ulysses was given a cold meal, he still had something to offer.

eat.

This group of people also sent a blackmail letter to the Grand Duchess. They did it very carefully. Even the magician couldn't trace their traces with magic. They could only use the most primitive method of finding a needle in a haystack.

These people who live on the edge of a knife sometimes know magic better than the magician. When the magician raises his hand and chants the first syllable, they can guess what kind of magic the magician is going to use, and thus make

correspond.

That's why they dared to ask the Grand Duchess for money without any fear of being traced, and they didn't think they did it once or twice.

In the blackmail letter, they requested that the Grand Duchess prepare four ransoms and send them to the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest respectively. This was obviously to disperse the nobles' combat power and make them unclear which direction was correct.

They even included the finger of the maid they killed in the letter, warning the Grand Duchess that if she didn't do what they said, Ulysses' finger would be the next one to be sent.

Faced with such a threat, the Grand Duchess had no choice but to prepare four ransoms and send them to the four directions as promised.

Three of the directions stopped transporting after a long circle. The knights who were following in secret quickly took control of the person who finally received the ransom. After interrogation, it was found that they were just entrusted by others to receive something, but in fact they had no idea what the ransom was.

What is it that arrived?

Then there is no doubt that the ransom in the last direction should be correct, but the ransom in the last direction suddenly disappeared during the transportation process.

The members of the Knights who were hiding in the dark had to appear in the open to search for evidence. Sally was one of them. She looked for countless possibilities and found that it was impossible to silently turn the box into something.

There is no trace, even if you use magic, it will leave traces.

Until one moment, a piece of bird feather quietly fell beside her. This was a normal thing, but at that moment she looked up at the sky out of nowhere.

Then, she saw an eagle holding a suitcase in its talons and flying to another place.

She found the ransom. It turned out that they couldn't find it because the ransom didn't appear on the ground at all, but flew into the air.

The eagle flew too high, beyond Sally's attack range, and was about to fly out of her sight, so there was no time left for her to hesitate and think. She could only leave a message to her teammates and chase after her.

Chasing a bird is not an easy task. After all, birds can cross terrain and reach areas that humans cannot reach. Even though Sally is already a very good knight, it still took a lot of effort for her to track the bird.

.

She kept chasing the bird and saw it flying into a village and then landing slowly.

Sally realized that this might be the destination of her tracking, so she tried her best to cover up and observed the entire village from a distance while waiting for her teammates to arrive.

But she was careless and underestimated the enemy. This village was the opponent's base camp. Of course, she would be extra cautious about her own base camp. Moreover, the opponent had an animal tamer. Although he was not able to communicate directly with the animals he tamed, he was also very cautious about her.

Domesticated animals are very understanding. He noticed something was wrong with the hawk's behavior and became wary.

In short, it was discovered that Sally was being followed, but the other party did not know her specific location. The other party immediately decided that Ulysses could not be kept alive and would be transferred immediately. After all, the money had been obtained and the hostages were of no use anymore.

.

The other party was also ruthless. They used Ulysses as a means of delaying time, and dropped the four or five-year-old child on the edge of the cliff. It was precarious, and they felt that the wind would blow the rope if it was stronger. It was midnight at that time, and the surrounding area

There was also the continuous howling of wolves.

It was impossible for Sally to hide any longer. Her purpose of coming here was to save Ulysses.

But the moment she appeared, she was attacked.

Although the beast tamer did not tame the monsters, he had tamed many ferocious beasts. Even an excellent knight would be too reluctant to resist the attacks of ferocious beasts while trying to save people.

At that time, Sally not only had to carry an oil bottle, but also faced attacks from dozens of people and beasts. The opponents were murderous, and every move was aimed at killing her and Ulysses.

Go for the purpose.

Sally was indeed an excellent knight trained by the Knights. She was alone, protecting Ulysses and killing all the opponents. Even with the advantage of magicians over civilians, it was still an extremely difficult victory with a small number of people.

A lot of hard work.

The last scene that was engraved in Ulysses' mind was that of Sally holding him and walking forward step by step in the darkness.

"It's okay," she said with a smile, "I will definitely take you out."

Ulysses remembered that he smelled a strong smell of blood. He didn't understand it at the time. He only knew that he was saved by an adult he knew, so he stayed in Sally's arms with peace of mind.

I don't know why, Sally's voice became lower and lower, and her steps became more and more staggering.

"Can you talk to me?"

"Do you remember Nancy? My daughter is about the same age as you."

"She seems to be very interested in the Knights. She would always stare at her father in a daze while he was practicing."

"But I already have a child who has made the Knights his lifelong goal."

"If possible, I hope Nancy can be an ordinary noble girl."

"The Knights... are still too hard."

"Besides, it might even cost you your life."
