Although there were several hidden ventilation holes and some light came through from above, the basement still looked extremely dark.
After a while, Heidi was a little nervous. She had just woken up, her eyes were not used to the darkness, and an inexplicable fear struck her heart.
She remembered that the flying one-handed hammer hit her shoulder directly. If she hadn't been an agility professional and was born with fast reflexes, that terrifying hammer would definitely have hit her face.
Heidi fell into deep fear when he thought of the way of death with a face full of flowers and brains splashing all over the place. She always thought that after being a mercenary for so many years, she had long been indifferent to life and death, but the whistling one-handed hammer broke her fragile mental shell.
She finally knew that she was actually very afraid of death, and even more afraid of dying in an ugly appearance.
The surroundings were full of darkness. Heidi looked around and was wondering where this place was. After all, most women would feel extremely uneasy if they were in a dark and unfamiliar environment after waking up.
For a moment, she thought that she was abandoned in such a remote and quiet place, and her heart gradually cooled down.
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, threw herself into Beta's arms, and buried her head in tears.
Beta patted Heidi's back lightly, without speaking.
Heidi's crying was helpless at first, but after a while, her crying became quieter, and she seemed to feel more at ease.
It might be because of the stuffiness in the underground chamber, Beta felt that Heidi's body temperature was gradually rising.
Just when he was about to ask her if she was not feeling well, Beta was pushed down to the ground by a force.
Beta was a little confused, and then Heidi's soft and warm lips kept falling on his face.
It has to be said that the experience of someone who has been here is enough. Not only did she take the initiative to kiss Beta, she didn't stop her hands, and untied most of Beta's robe in two or three strokes.
"Wait... are you crazy?" Beta reacted and wanted to push Heidi away, but Heidi hugged him very tightly, as if he would disappear if he let go
Heidi panted heavily, raised her head, and said with bright eyes: "I want to vent, if you don't give it to me, I will go out and find other men immediately."
Beta is very clear that human beings will have a strong urge to reproduce after facing a desperate situation, or for a period of time after the desperate situation. This is a biological instinct, and they want to leave something before their own death. But Heidi's movement was too exaggerated.
He didn't know how domineering the mark the butterfly girl left him was. He touched the elf sheriff's wife symbolically twice, and he got caught. During this period of time, Heidi came to beta's side from time to time, so it's no wonder he didn't know what to do.
This is not simply a biological crisis instinct, but also the reason for his strange talent.
Beta sighed, and gently stroked Heidi's back with his right hand, making Heidi close his eyes comfortably.
Beta's hand continued to go up to the neck, gently stroking.
Heidi's neck was smooth and slender, and she even closed her eyes like a cat squinting when it was tickled.
But in the next second, Heidi rolled his eyes and fell asleep.
Beta put Heidi on the blanket again.
Although Heidi is beautiful, Beta really has no interest in her. Some time ago, I played "games" with Judy for eighteen hours, almost emptied his kidneys, and now I still feel a little sore in my waist.
Even a woman as beautiful as Angel was lying defenseless in front of Beta, and he didn't do anything, let alone Heidi was even worse. If he is really interested in sex, he can directly send him back to Green Manor to find Judy, and the latter will not refuse, why bother picking wild flowers and messing up the relationship.
In fact, the most important reason is that Beta admires Nadette very much. He has hacked a lot of magic materials of the other party, so he doesn't intend to harm Nadette's lover anymore. As a human being, there are always some bottom lines.
As for Uther, the city lord of Winterwind City, Beta said hehe twice, you are unkind, I am unrighteous, there is nothing to say.
When all the noise outside stopped, Beta used magic to open the underground secret room. It was already the evening of the next day. Beta picked up Heidi, came out from under the secret room, and walked deep into the woods.
After walking for two hours, it was completely dark. Beta found a flat grassland, and first used magic flames to dry the nearby ground to drive away the poisonous insects hidden under the grass roots, and remove moisture at the same time, and then spread the blanket , and finally put Heidi on the blanket.
Beta went to the side to pick up some dry branches and dead leaves, and started a fire.
Not long after, Heidi woke up with a groan, her eyes were a little dazed at first, and then the fire in front of her made her feel warm, and her thoughts gradually came to her senses.
"Why am I here?" Heidi covered her forehead and looked around.
Beta handed over a piece of dried meat from the side, which was a spare dry food stored in the mansion.
Heidi's head was still a little dizzy, she remembered that she seemed to throw Beta down before
"I sent you here." Beta said calmly: "When we escaped from Ellen City, you fainted on the way. In order to avoid the pursuit of those enemy cavalry, I brought you to the Come in the woods."
"Really?" Heidi was dubious.
After a day's sleep, Heidi was indeed hungry. She ate the jerky in silence.
Because it is the relationship between the forest, there are many insects and birds singing around, and the rustling of the leaves blown by the night wind.
After a while, Heidi suddenly said: "I had a dream, in the dream you locked me in a small dark room underground, and then forced me to execute you."
Beta said rather amusedly: "What do you think of me?"
Heidi smiled, but did not speak.
After a long time, she suddenly said, "Thank you."
Beta did not respond, but everyone knew what was going on.
The two took turns keeping vigil, and on the second day, they went on the road normally. They stayed at the edge of the woods and walked straight along the road.
Around evening, the two settled down in a small town and rented two houses to rest.
And in Echo City, Lux was sulking, firstly she was teased and insulted by Cook's family, and later she heard that the woman's face was healed. How can this work! There cannot be a more beautiful woman than her in Echo City.
Mo Ming's anger was stuck in her chest, and if she couldn't vent it, she became sullen. She hadn't slept well for nearly half a month.
Lux knew the reason very well. She had to get revenge and humiliate Cook, or take the woman back, scratch her face, lock her up again, drink and eat every day, see Who can heal her face back.
This way, she can sleep well.
When she was depressed, there was a knock on the door, and Lacus scolded angrily, "Who is outside."
"It's me, Ralph."
Ralph was the housekeeper of their house. Lux lay halfway on the bed and said, "Open the door and come in."
The middle-aged housekeeper walked in, bowed slightly and saluted.
"Ralph, what do you want?"
The middle-aged butler lowered his head and said, "Miss, the woman you asked me to investigate was found by us in Pujia Village, and now our people have secretly brought her back to the city and placed her in a place where no one knows."
Lux jumped up from the bed all of a sudden, and asked in surprise, "Did you really find it? Father didn't know."
"We are very careful not to let anyone know." The middle-aged man smiled and said: "And now the master is out to deal with government affairs. If Miss is interested, you can go and see that woman."
"Go, go now. Ralph, you go out first, I want to change."
Ralph bowed and left, and closed the door.
Lacus quickly changed her clothes, went downstairs with great excitement, got into the carriage prepared by Ralph, and left the castellan's mansion.
The carriage kept walking towards the outskirts of the city, getting farther and farther away, and it was completely dark at this time. Lux was in the car and couldn't help asking, "Ralph, how long is it?"
"Nearly, miss." Ralph's voice came from ahead.
Lux settled down and waited quietly. Sure enough, as Ralph said, the carriage arrived at its destination not long after.
Jumping down from the carriage, Lacus looked ahead, a dilapidated small wooden building stood in the darkness, and there was a dim light from the window.
"People are inside?" Lux asked, turning her head.
Ralph nodded.
Lux immediately rushed over excitedly, pushed the door open with the car, and then her face became a little stiff.
There were no women inside, only five priests in white robes. Under the dim oil lamp, the eyes of these people looked cold and ruthless.
Lux was not stupid, she knew something was wrong, and was about to back away, but a strong push came from behind her, and she fell into the room and lay on 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, smiled and said, "Your Excellency Hodgson, I have already brought them, please remember your promise."
"Don't worry, I will give you enough gold coins." A rather majestic middle-aged man with flat hair said indifferently: "You go to Ma'ang City now, and you may be caught by Nadette's cavalry if you are late."
Ralph nodded and left.
"Ralph, Ralph, come back to me."
Lux yelled desperately, then stood up, trying to run away too, but Ralph was outside and the door had been closed. She is a weak woman, how could she open this thick wooden door.
A priest came over, his heavy boots thumping on the ground.
"I tell you, my father is Nadette, the lord of the city here. If you dare to hurt a single hair of my hair, you will die." Lacus turned her body, leaned her back against the door, and cursed viciously. road.
The priest's face was still cold, he raised his hand, and slapped Lacus across the face.
After a muffled sound, Lux fell sideways on the ground, the entire left side of his face was swollen like a steamed bun, blood oozed from his mouth, and two big right teeth fell out of it.
The priest wore iron gloves on his hands, and this slap directly knocked Lacus unconscious.
Then he took Lacus' right foot, dragged it to the stairs of the house, and threw the latter into the storage room like throwing garbage.
Having done all this, the man went back to his companion and sat down. None of the five spoke, just sat quietly, as if they were five immobile stone sculptures.
When Nadette came back from the outside, he didn't see the housekeeper coming out to greet him, so he felt a little strange, then went upstairs to look around, and found that his daughter was not in the room, he was a little dissatisfied, he muttered: "I said it might be dangerous nearby , told her not to go out, but she refused to listen. Ralph is not sensible, how could he run around outside with Lux."
Letting the chef cook something for himself, Nadette went back to the study and wanted to deal with other government affairs, but found that there was a piece of letter paper on the table.
He was a little puzzled, picked it up and looked at it, and his face gradually turned livid.
Angrily, he tore the letter paper to pieces, and almost gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence: "Ralph, you traitor who deserves to die."
Taking a deep breath, Nadette tried to cool himself down as much as possible, and then he rode out of the city lord's mansion and went directly to the military camp not far away.
"Carnegie, I want you to immediately lead four hundred cavalry to surround Abina Farm on the eastern outskirts of the city, and go there immediately."
An officer who ran down on one knee was ordered to leave quickly.
"Judd, you immediately take all the soldiers to blockade the entire Echo City, and ring the alarm bell, impose a curfew, and then the sheriff will lead people to search all the hotels to see if there are any suspicious people."
Another officer leaves.
"Ash, go find the mouse, let them find it, and provide information about the young lady. If there is any real information, I will reward the mouse leader with one hundred gold coins."
Watching the last officer leave, Nadette felt a headache.
Just ten days after Arnold and other combat forces were sent out, the other party tried to bribe the housekeeper and kidnapped his daughter... careless. He thought that after killing Payne, he asked Arnold and others to assassinate Bei Moxi. Once the two died, Tellson in another city would surrender.
Unexpectedly, Tellson, who had always been looked down upon by him and was timid by nature, would give him a chance.
He was sitting in the barracks, waiting anxiously, every minute felt like years.
After what seemed like a long time, a soldier finally came back and reported, "City Master, there is no one at the Abina farm, it is an abandoned farm."
Although it had been clear for a long time that there would be no one there, Nadette still asked people to check it out just in case. Now that he heard this, he was not too disappointed.
After a while, the officer named Ash came back and reported: "The mice didn't know where the lady was, but they accidentally saw Butler Ralph going out of the city in the evening, walking towards the direction of Maang City. gone."
"Send light cavalry and scouts to capture him immediately." At the end, Nadette added in a cold tone: "Before capturing him, break his hands and legs first."
