At the same time, on a remote road more than 20 kilometers away from the city of Wilsk, a somewhat dilapidated carriage was driving quickly.

The people driving the car were the Feather brothers who kidnapped Liz, and Daryl was drinking wine from his wine bag in the carriage compartment with an unhappy expression. Opposite him was Liz, who had just woken up not long ago.

He was so trapped that he couldn't move at all, and could only sit in place, unable to resist.

"Damn it, tell me the truth! Are you attached to some noble family?"

"No!"

"Then why are all the cavalry on the street looking for you?! I saw them all clearly! They are all noble soldiers from all over the place! Especially the javelin knights of the Michael family, they chased them all the way from the city of Welsk

It’s not stopping now.”

"How would I know? I've only met Miss Mihail a few times in the mansion, but I've never said hello."

"Hmph! Forget it, no matter who you cling to, as long as we enter the vicinity of Lavender City, I won't be afraid even if the Grand Duke's army comes..."

"Are you three the only ones who came to arrest me?"

"How could it be? You have become a 'big shot' recently. We have more than a dozen people sneaking into Wilsk in three groups just to find an opportunity to 'invite' you back."

"More than a dozen people? Where are the others?"

"I don't know, maybe they're all dead." Daryl took another sip of wine and then grabbed a piece of dried meat from a nearby bag and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. After a while, he continued.

He said: "You were separated from them before they arrested you. They went to rob the foreign woman, the big man who carried you to the hotel in the morning."

Liz was not sure what happened at noon, but considering that she was carried by others, Agil was excluded first, because if it were her, Daryl would only say "different race" instead of "

"Alien", the only one left is Erica who is wearing strange clothes. Her look suits the "alien" feeling, and she is indeed very tall.

As for what Daryl said about robbing her, Liz was even less worried, because although she didn't know how strong Erica was, she could tell from what she saw and heard that night that there were many people in the guild.

Most people will not be her opponent, because her weapons are so powerful that even a fully armed knight may not be able to defeat her easily.

For this reason, Liz suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, I just thought that those who rob Erica would definitely be unlucky."

"You don't have to tell me, I know it too. Those sons of bitches got into big trouble when we left the city."

"What did they do?"

"Hehehe, what did you do? Didn't you hear me at the previous level? I know you must have woken up by then! You must have heard what those guards said!"

Daryl suddenly picked up the wine bag again and drank it. In fact, Liz had woken up before reaching that checkpoint, but for safety reasons, he was not discovered by them. When passing that checkpoint, the carriage also

Indeed, after stopping for a while, I vaguely heard the sound of Daryl talking to a guard, but because the sound outside was relatively noisy, I couldn't quite understand the specific content. But it was just after that that Daryl suddenly began to change.

He was a little abnormal. He cursed the two brothers crazily and kept drinking.

"I don't know exactly what you said."

"Hey hey hey... I think so, you wouldn't be so calm if you heard this." Daryl planned to take a few sips of wine, but he didn't pour out much wine from his belt after pouring for a long time. It seemed that it was a wine bottle.

It was already empty, so he simply threw the valuable-looking leather bag out of the carriage, and then took out another wine-filled wine bag from somewhere else. Without saying a word, he pulled out the stopper and drank a lot.

, after a long time, he belched a few drinks with satisfaction and continued: "Those people are Holden and the others. What the guard just said was that there was a member of the Thieves Guild who turned into a monster in the city of Welsk and was wreaking havoc everywhere.

.And the thief he described looks like that bastard Holden!"

"Become a monster?"

Liz remembered Holden. He was originally an inconspicuous little character in the guild, but last year he suddenly became the president's confidant and his strength increased inexplicably. Before she and Nancy left the guild,

He has already reached the level of an elite thief. As for other things, I really don't know much about it, but I know very well this person's character and methods. He is very despicable, but apart from that, there is nothing that can be said about him.

He is connected to monsters, maybe his appearance also counts?

"What happened? What are you afraid of?" I saw that Daryl's performance was actually a manifestation of fear, and he was also very incompetent and self-defeating.

"Ah, you see? I'm very scared...I'm afraid that I will become a monster like that bastard!"

"This... why do you say that?"

"Because we have all taken the 'miracle medicine'!"

"The miracle drug? That suspicious little pill?"

"Have you sisters never eaten?"

Liz suddenly remembered something that had been forgotten for a long time. It seemed that almost a year ago, when Moraka IV succeeded his father as the new guild leader, new supplies were suddenly launched within the guild.

The drug was said to be a new drug that replaced the old physical potion. But at the time, Liz and Nancy thought it was suspicious, so they never used it. Later, the guild increased the supply every two months, and Nancy

He was keenly aware of the danger, and although he would come out openly to receive medicine supplies on time, he would then secretly destroy them and make some substitutes that looked exactly the same to be fake.

In other words, Liz and Nancy never took a single pill when it was first distributed.

"How is it possible to take that weird thing? We are all just pretending. Could it be that this pill can turn people into monsters?"

"Hehehehe... you sisters are really lucky... No, it's you! You're right! You have to eat that thing to become a monster! You don't know that in the past month or so since you left,

Those pills were sold in large quantities as if they were free. You could buy a pack for one gold coin. That bastard Holden had taken at least hundreds of pills in the past month. I didn’t take much, but that’s it.

I ate a few half a year ago."

"What's wrong with you?"

"How do I know? It's all arranged by little Moraka. Everyone must take medicine forcibly. If you don't take it, you will mysteriously disappear soon. A few of us are also worried about us because we don't eat enough.

So poison us and let us come out and kidnap you back. Everyone in the guild has been going crazy recently, especially little Moraka. He calls your name all the time, as if you are his own mother."

"nausea!"

"Hey, I feel disgusted too! Many people feel disgusted! But all the people who opposed him have disappeared."

"It's only been a little over a month, how come the guild has become like this?"

"I also want to know what happened to the guild, and I also want to know if that little bastard is really fucking crazy. But what's the use of knowing it? Don't forget the power that those crazy people have.

, that's something we can't fight against." After venting a few words, Daryl helplessly took a few sips of wine and continued: "Why didn't I realize that that little bastard liked you so much before?"

"How could you like it?"

"Then why does he care about you so much?"

"He's not thinking about me, but he's thinking about the things I stole."

"Oh? What did you steal from him?"

"He used to always bully our sisters, so when he left the guild, he stole the ugly statue in his bedroom. It was the little statue he played with all day long."

"That thing..."

Before Daryl could finish speaking, the carriage suddenly shook violently, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the floor. Then the horse suddenly seemed to have lost control and was scurrying around. Finally, it seemed that it hit a tree on the roadside directly.

It stopped. The collision was very violent. Daryl knew that the Feather brothers’ carriage skills were very good, and it was impossible for such a serious car accident to happen unless the two of them did not drive well. Thinking of this, Daryl stood up from the carriage irritably.

After standing up, he shook his wine-stained clothes, then cursed and opened the curtain, but unexpectedly found that the Feather brothers were missing, and there was a lot of blood on the driver's seat.

Daryl was suddenly frightened by this situation and woke up. He hurriedly retreated into the car and picked up the weapon, but before he could escape from the back of the car, he was stopped by Liz.

"Don't go out! Your perception is too poor. The enemy is waiting for you to go out. There are three people on the branches behind. This strong hostility will almost drown them."

"Who is he?" Daryl reached out unceremoniously and cut Liz's rope, and then handed her a dagger.

"No need, the other party must be here to deal with me, because one of them has the aura of my mortal enemy Gillen, but...his aura is very strange...what's wrong?"

"Jillon disappeared a month ago, just after you left..."

Daryl quietly poked a small hole in the curtain at the back to take a look at the situation outside, and then he sat down in the carriage, trembling all over.

"What did you see?"

"...weird...monster!"

About an hour later, in a guest room in the baron's residence in Welsk City.

"Agil, why hasn't Erica come back?"

"Just wait a little longer."

"Then...when will Liz come back?"

"...I will come back...I will definitely..."

I held Polly and sat in front of the guest room window of the mansion, looking at the scenery outside the window and thinking wildly. Calculating the time, it has been almost 4 hours since Liz was kidnapped, and four hours is enough for a person to ride a fast car.

From here, we rushed to Ronan Castle. Although we don't know the specific location of the Moraka Brotherhood, Chris also used some special information to lock the general area of ​​the Thieves Guild from Welsk City to Ronan.

Among the three cities between the forts, the farthest one is 50 kilometers away from the city of Wilsk, and the nearest one is more than 20 kilometers away.

In any case, four hours is enough for the thieves to return to the guild smoothly, and so far we still haven't got any news about the thieves and Liz, but there are a few more suspicious information. For example, half an hour

The previous Raven sent a message saying that a suspicious carriage was found at a checkpoint more than 30 kilometers away. Although the carriage and its members were impounded, the specific situation still needs to wait for a letter from there, although I express hope for this.

It's not high, because I don't easily believe that thieves with good skills can be found so easily.

So I am currently in a very tangled state. While I am looking forward to a miracle happening so that Liz can be rescued smoothly, I am also thinking that this kind of thing will not happen so easily.

"Isn't the so-called 'miracle' just a bunch of inconspicuous 'coincidences'..." I suddenly remembered this sentence, which I heard when I was chatting with Erica again. I didn't pay attention to it at first, because
To be continued...
