Noble Emblem

The smell of the sewer was extremely unpleasant. In order not to disturb the magic power fluctuations and alert the enemy, Beta did not even use the water mirror technique. He and Heidi carefully searched the sewer.

After checking the east and west sewers, no landlord was found. They came to the sewer in the northern suburbs of the city. As they were about to go in, Beta suddenly pulled Heidi. He silently pointed to the sewer cover, under the bright moonlight. , there is a long dark golden hair reflecting a slight light.

There are some very inconspicuous footprints around the manhole cover.

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

Beta has his own cloud dragon pupils, which can see places that ordinary people cannot see, and Heidi is an archer, and archers have another name...hunters.

Her reconnaissance and tracking abilities are not weak either.

"One, two...six." Heidi observed carefully for a while and said: "Six pairs of different footprints. One of the footprints is smaller. It should be the female paladin. The other pair of footprints is particularly heavy. It should be It’s carrying something, I guess it’s Lux.”

Heidi came to this conclusion after scanning the ground for a while, which seemed completely normal to ordinary people.

The gap between professionals and non-professionals is so big.

The two then left. Since they knew that the enemy was most likely hiding here, there was no need to disturb them.

After leaving a certain area here, Heidi asked: "Shall we return to the city lord's palace now and report this place to Nadette?"

Beta thought for a while and said, "Don't you find it strange?"

"Huh?" Heidi snorted gently with his nose. Although it was in a questioning tone, there was a strange sense of temptation in the deep voice.

"It stands to reason that in addition to the strong thieves and archers in our team, other noble families and even the army should also have people who are good at reconnaissance." Beta softened his tone and said: "The ability of priests to hide traces is not the same. Not strong, but why are we the only ones to find it?”

Heidi was stunned for a moment.

Beta continued: "It's not so much that they can't find it, but rather 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 era it is, no matter what plane it is, there are few people who help when the time is right, and there are many people who add insult to injury."

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

"We don't need to show up. It's easier for us to help Nadette if we stay in the dark." Beta looked at the bright moon in the night sky and said, "But we have to quietly tell him the news about the priests hiding here, for example Long-distance arrows and so on."

"How about I pass one on to you too?" Heidi glanced at Beta charmingly.

no……

Nadette was sitting in the study, quiet on the surface, but already very anxious in her heart.

The daughter has not been found yet, and the deadline given by the paladin is only two days. Anyone faced with such a predicament will become anxious.

'call out'

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

Nadette's hand grabbed the long sword on the table at the same time, but then relaxed because he saw a piece of white paper tied to the middle of the arrow.

Walking over, he took off the arrow, opened the paper, and showed a surprised smile. It turns out that Heidi and Cook have returned. Although Arnold, whom he trusts more, has not returned yet, both Cook and Heidi are very capable.

As for Cook, after observing him some time ago, he knows very well that this young man has great abilities.

Especially now that he judged that the two of them were hiding and acting in secret, Nadette felt that this young man had a pretty good intuitive understanding of both the combat situation and the political situation.

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

Sure enough, compared to academic mages and wild mages, the starting point and upper limit are much higher.

With the good news, Nadette felt better. He rubbed his pockets, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and rested. After a while, there was a knock on the door. He shouted to come in, and the door was pushed open.

Ashish walked in, dragging a man with his mouth tied with a cloth and moaning.

Seeing this man, Nadette had obvious anger on his face: "Let him speak."

The dirty cloth on the man's mouth was pulled away.

Nadette looked at him coldly and said: "Ralph, I'm very curious as to why you betrayed me. I think I'm pretty good to you. Do you think you can escape? Do you think the Temple of Light in Ma Subaru City Can I protect you?"

Ralph's legs were already broken. He sat on the ground with a pale face, looked up at Nadette, and smiled miserably: "Lord, I didn't betray you, I was just targeting your vicious daughter."

Upon hearing this, Nadette couldn't help but burst out with anger. He threw a book and hit Ralph on the forehead. Then roared.

"Lux is my daughter. It is up to me to decide whether she is evil or not. As my servant, you are going against my wishes. Isn't this betrayal?"

No matter what he said, Nadette was a warrior, but he was not strong enough, and it felt like he had thrown a book out of the cannon.

Ralph was hit hard on the head and fell to the ground. Not only was blood flowing from the place where he was hit, but there was also a buzzing inside his head, and his vision was dark. After a while, he woke up and could barely see.

Nadette sat on the chair and waited for Ralph to wake up. Seeing that he opened his eyes, he said, "Ralph, why? Give me a reason. If it makes sense, I might spare your life."

"Hehehe, I have been mentally prepared for being caught and executed by you. I don't need you to be hypocritical, City Lord." Ralph sneered and sat up: "But for the sake of being so pitiful, I will tell you The reason. Because I am afraid of your daughter. She is too vicious. Maybe she is very well-behaved in front of you, but that is just an illusion. She has been killing people since she was ten years old. "

"This is impossible!" Nadette was a little frightened, but still didn't believe it: "Since you know, why don't you tell me."

"I told you." Ralph laughed miserably: "When she was twelve years old, she secretly killed a beautiful girl with an outsider. Because there is no conclusive evidence, I only mentioned it to you in a vague way. But you didn’t take it seriously. A few days later, my eldest daughter disappeared. From then on, I never dared to mention her or behave in any abnormal way.”
