Chapter 1689 Kidnapping? (Sleepy, Tired and Wanting to Coo)

In the end, the white whale, which was hit by Megumi's explosion magic, was killed by Crusch and the old man beside her, and the hunt was finally over.

"Thank you for your assistance."

After killing the white whale, Crusch walked up to the Priestess and the others to thank her sincerely. She knew very well that without the help of these girls, especially without the great magician named Huihui If it is the final blow, I am afraid that it is simply a fantasy to kill the white whale.

"You're welcome, we also want to help ourselves."

Priestess also bowed her head respectfully to return the salute. As a priest of the temple, she still has some experience in how to deal with nobles.

"But without everyone's assistance, today's battle may not be as simple as returning without success."

Having said this, Crusch paused.

"By the way, where is the great magician who released the explosion magic? I want to thank her personally."

"Hui Hui..."

Faced with Crusch's question, Priestess' expression became a little subtle, and then she turned her head involuntarily. Following Priestess' gaze, Crusch saw the blond female swordsman named Ais silently carrying a petite girl on her back.

"Is that Miss Hui Hui? What happened to her?"

"This... just lost strength due to the use of explosion magic. It's not a big deal, just take a little rest."

"That's good."

Crusch breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the priestess again.

"I really didn't expect to be able to get help from such powerful adventurers as you. If you are willing, please come to Karsten's mansion. I will welcome you as distinguished guests..."

"Ah, this is not necessary, we should return to the Knight Your Excellency... Also, if possible, please explain to the Adventurer's Guild about the hunting of the white whale."

"Of course there is no problem, I will explain it to the Adventurer's Guild personally."

Crusch did not refuse Priestess' request, after all, adventurers need these achievements to be recognized and promoted. Although he came to help voluntarily, if he didn't give some gift in return, it would definitely be unreasonable.

"However, Ms. Huihui is not very old. She can freely use such a powerful spell as Explosion Magic at this age. One can imagine that Miss Huihui's future is limitless... I have heard about the Crimson Demons for a long time. Possessing powerful magical powers, it really lives up to its reputation when I saw it today."

Crusch felt that she had given a very sincere compliment, but what made her feel puzzled was that after hearing her words, everyone around, whether it was Priestess, Ais, or Mai Lu, all showed very complicated expressions. The expression on his face... Could it be that he said something wrong?

"Then, then we shall take our leave, Lord Karsten."

In the end, Priestess still decided that family ugliness should not be publicized. It is fine for people to know about this kind of thing. There is no need to tell others about it, so she saluted in a hurry, and then left immediately with the others. Although Crusch was a little puzzled, he didn't think too much about it, and quickly cheered up and continued with his work.

Although the white whale was successfully defeated, it was not as simple as just leaving after fighting, unlike ordinary monsters. As a trophy, everyone still needs to cut off the head of the white whale. On the one hand, they boast about their achievements, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as evidence. After all, empty words are useless, and taking the head of the white whale back is the best evidence.

But the white whale is so big, it will take a lot of time to cut off its head. In fact, by the time everyone cut off the head of the white whale and planned to transport it away, it was already the next morning—even Fang Zheng The Priestess and the others have been sent back, and then they ran over to watch the excitement after breakfast.

"Why did it take so long?"

"Your Excellency Fangzheng."

Seeing Fangzheng appearing again, Crusch also bowed to him respectfully.

"Thank you for your assistance."

"I didn't do anything. After all, informing the place and time of the white whale's appearance is part of the deal. Those little girls in the back volunteered to help, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Then let it be as it is."

Facing Fangzheng's answer, Crusch smiled slightly, of course she didn't really think so. In fact, the reason why Crusch invited those girls to his mansion last night was to confirm the relationship between them and Fang Zheng, and Crusch also confirmed it, although on the surface there is indeed no nominal relationship between these girls and Fang Zheng. The relationship between master and servant is just that, in fact, they have already instinctively regarded themselves as Fang Zheng's subordinates.

Otherwise, Priestess wouldn't have rejected Crusch's invitation at that time, and left with the others.

"We are planning to leave, Mr. Fangzheng, you..."

"Oh, by the way."

"By the way?"

"Well, it just so happens that I have something to do and want to go to the capital, wouldn't it be more lively to go together?"

He didn't need to protect Crusch to know that Fangzheng was talking nonsense, but since the other party didn't want to say anything, he naturally didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.

"Of course, no problem."

Soon, the convoy set off again, heading towards the capital.

Along the way, the weather was calm.

"Looks like our lovely pet has been killed."

Standing on the hillside, the man said calmly.

It was a man without any features, neither fat, nor thin, nor tall, nor short, with natural white hair neither long nor short, wearing white clothes that were neither luxurious nor shabby, an ordinary-looking man.

"Ah, the guy who killed the white whale must be delicious!"

Standing beside this ordinary man was a boy with knee-length hair and dirty clothes like a beggar. His hands and feet were polluted by mud, dirt and blood. The boy opened his mouth and stretched out his mouth. Tongue out.

"Ahhh... No matter how much we eat, it's not enough! Because of this, we have to live!! Always like this! Eat! Drink! Bite! Gluttony!"

"It's really incomprehensible."

Facing the boy's roar, the ordinary man shook his head.

"People, as long as you are satisfied with what you can have, why are you so greedy?"

"We don't care, you can say whatever you like, for us, only hunger is the most important thing."

"Then, let's begin."

The ordinary man shook his head, gave up and continued, with his hands behind his back, he looked at the slowly approaching convoy below, and took a step.

Then………

"Pfft."

"...?"

The ordinary man lowered his head, looked at the big black sword piercing through his chest, and blinked his eyes, as if he didn't know what happened. He turned his head, only to find that the head of the boy who was standing next to him just now had fallen to the ground, and was rolling forward with a gurgling sound... Then someone stepped on it.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your chat, um... I just discovered that I still have the potential to be an assassin."

The ordinary man turned his head, and saw behind him was a stranger he had never seen before, holding a big black sword in his hand, at this moment blood was flowing down the blade, dripping ground. Behind the stranger, hundreds of Witch Cultists had already lay down on the ground.

"..."

The man opened his mouth, but before he could say anything more, the flames flew out, scorching his vocal cords, and then completely enveloping the man and the boy, turning them into ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Well, two more major crime bishops have been dealt with."

Fangzheng swung his big sword and yawned.

"Sure enough, the highest level of stealth is to kill everyone who sees you, and then there will be no one left."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned his head away. The flames had dissipated at this moment, and the Witch Cultists, including the two archbishops, had already been engulfed by the flames and disappeared without a trace.

"Your Excellency Fangzheng."

Seeing Fangzheng who had returned to the convoy, Crusch froze for a moment.

"What happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little more convenient to go out, it's much more comfortable."

Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Crusch frowned, but in the end, she still didn't say anything.

After the convoy arrived at the city gate, Fangzheng bid farewell to Crusch, and then he originally planned to wander around casually, but...

"Let go of me! What do you want! Let me go!"

Seeing the noisy figure at the gate of the city, Fangzheng couldn't help but walked over, and then he couldn't help but be taken aback.

"I said... Reinhardt, I really didn't expect that you are still interested in kidnapping?"

"Standing not far in front of Fangzheng was none other than Reinhardt, who had fought against Fangzheng before. At this moment, the knight was holding a girl's hand, and that girl was struggling to get rid of Reinhardt. Root, in fact, from the golden hair and bright red eyes, Fang Zheng already knew the real identity of the other party.

"Isn't this Felt? What's going on?"

"Your Excellency Fangzheng."

Seeing Fangzheng appear, Reinhardt smiled wryly, and let go of his hand helplessly, while Felut ran behind Fangzheng as if seeing a savior.

"Brother, save me quickly! He wants to catch me!"

"Why are you arrested? Could it be that you stole something from someone else?"

"Of course not, haven't you seen my outfit? I've quit being a thief a long time ago!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Fangzheng took a closer look at Felut, only to realize that the blond girl was no longer wearing the highly revealing dress before, but a very ordinary white dress, which looked a bit like A child of a good family, not a thief roaming the streets.

"what happened?"

Facing Fangzheng's inquiry, Felut immediately told him what happened.

It turned out that after that day, Felut also started to try to work as a "tour guide" according to Fang Zheng's words. Of course, with the eyes of a thief, she can also tell who is easier to communicate with and who is more difficult to talk to. At the beginning, Felut was still a little frustrated, after all, there is no such profession in this world. But after she successfully completed several commissions, more and more people were willing to ask her to lead the way.

For Felut, this new job is also very good. It can not only make money, but also have a good reputation. At least on the city gate side, if everyone encounters any trouble, they will want to ask Felut for help. She Also quite like this feeling.

Today, Felut was at the gate of the city to attract guests, but he saw Reinhardt passing by, and then he seemed to have dropped something, and Felut wanted to return it to him after picking it up, but he didn't expect Reinhardt to pass by. As soon as Harut saw what Felut was holding, he immediately grabbed her.

"I did nothing wrong!"

Speaking of this, Felut is also full of grievances. In the past, she admitted it when she was caught stealing things, but now she is very upset when she is caught returning other people's things.

"That's it."

After hearing Felt's indignant complaint, Fangzheng also shrugged and looked at Reinhardt.

"Okay, look, it's not a big deal. They didn't steal from you, so why are you holding on to them? If you look like this, people who don't know you will think you are abducting and trafficking children."

"This is not about stealing, Your Excellency Fangzheng..."

Facing Fangzheng's words, Reinhardt was also dumbfounded.

"This is a very important matter..."

"What's important, to be honest, your value in my mind is rapidly approaching the kidnapper."

"It's... well."

In desperation, Reinhardt could only nod his head.

"Please follow me, two, I will tell you the whole story."
