"Look to see if there is anything extra on your body." Li Yu reminded, "This trick is often used by thieves and pickpockets. Their hands and feet are very fast, but most of them are to steal things."
The girl touched her clothes after hearing this, but found nothing until she opened her purse and found a different gold coin inside.
There was no lion's head on the gold coin, instead there was a sword and a silver moon.
"You just bumped into me and put this thing into my purse without anyone noticing?"
Miss Rabbit couldn't help but feel frightened when she recalled it. This was more difficult than taking away her purse.
In other words, if the other party was not passing information to her, but was actually a pickpocket, she would have to say goodbye to her wallet.
"Do you recognize this pattern?" Li Yu took the coin and looked at it for a few times, but he didn't have any clue, so he asked the girl again.
"I know that moon. It is the symbol of the Silver Moon Church. As for the sword, I don't know."
"Is there a temple of the Silver Moon Church in Rock Snow City?"
"Yes. The Temple of Patrice is located in the west of the city."
"Let's go there and have a look." Li Yu suggested.
"Are you going now?"
"Well, if things are really as I imagined, that person shouldn't be waiting there for long."
"But...could this be a trap?" Ilea hesitated.
"It's also possible."
"Then I'll call Thomas and the others." Miss Rabbit escorted Gabriel to Yanxue City this time and brought many people with her, but it was impossible for so many people to live in the Marquis' Mansion.
David arranged room and board for them at a nearby hotel. Some of them had returned to the green field one after another after completing the handover, but there were still about two dozen guards left, all of whom were elite.
But Li Yu said, "That would be too much noise."
"What should we do?"
"Don't worry, I have a way to ensure our safety."
…………
Late at night, the girl was the only figure on the empty street.
She came to the Temple of Patrice and looked around cautiously. She didn't see any suspicious figures, and then she began to carefully look at the row of buildings outside the temple.
Soon she found a blacksmith shop not far away. There was a sword drawn on the sign hanging outside the door, and the sword was exactly the same as the one on the gold coin.
The girl knew that this was the place she was looking for. She hesitated for a moment, but finally bravely stretched out her hand.
As a result, before her hand could reach the door, the door panel in front of her cracked open, and a big hand stretched out from inside, grabbing the girl inside.
"I'm sorry to meet you in this way, Miss Ilea."
The man threw the girl on a chair like a chicken, and then a dagger appeared from the darkness and pressed against the girl's back, "But we must ensure the safety of adults."
The man paused and then added, "We noticed that you didn't bring any guards, which is good. Trust is the cornerstone of all cooperation."
At this time, the girl seemed to be frightened and couldn't say a word.
The person who caught her in the door continued, "Miss Ilea is indeed a heroine who successfully slayed the dragon. She deciphered the clues we left for you so quickly."
The girl's whole body trembled after hearing these words.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. Since you are here, you must have doubts about David. Next, we will take you to see someone, and then all your doubts will be answered."
"But..." the girl said tremblingly, but was interrupted rudely by the other party, "We are just waiting for the person to pick you up. If you have anything to say, please leave it to the adults."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a large sound of horse hooves outside the door.
The man's expression changed drastically, he turned around and looked at the girl on the chair, and said fiercely, "Is he your guard?"
"No, it's not." There was a cry in the girl's voice.
But the man could no longer care about so much, and said to his accomplice, "The plan has changed, retreat!"
The knife holding the girl's back disappeared immediately, along with the dark figure behind the girl.
The two people did not go through the main entrance, but jumped out from the side window and fled towards the alley. However, the pursuers behind them came faster than they imagined.
He was behind them almost in the blink of an eye.
The face of the man who spoke to Ilea before turned very ugly, "Where's Nightingale? Didn't she ask her to monitor the nearby streets? Why didn't she give us any warning?"
"Are you talking about this woman?" The cavalry behind him threw something at the man's feet.
The latter looked down and was stunned.
He saw a woman's head rolling in front of him. It turned out to be their accomplice, the little girl selling baked pies that Ilea had bumped into before.
"Fighters of the Arias family, are you so cruel? There is no bottom line at all." The man holding the dagger said in a hoarse voice.
The leading cavalryman laughed loudly, "Who said we are members of the Arias family?"
The two knew that it was impossible to escape today, so they looked at each other, stopped one after the other, then turned around and were shocked when they saw the two black feathers on the top of the cavalry's head.
"Black Tuft Cavalry! Are you from the Figuerola family?!"
"Otherwise, you have done so many good things secretly in the city. Do you really think Lord David doesn't know about it?" the leading cavalryman said proudly.
Just at this time, someone took Ilea out of the house and brought her to the leading cavalry.
The latter saw the water stains on the girl's trouser legs at a glance.
Tsk tsk, are you scared to piss?
The two guards who brought her out tried their best to suppress smiles on their faces. The famous dragon-slaying heroine was so frightened that she peed her pants. This was not a sight that everyone could see.
But the leading cavalry quickly reprimanded them, and then said softly to the girl, "Thank you, Miss Ilea, for helping us find this group of rebels hiding in the city."
But he quickly changed the subject, "Next, you have to explain to Lord Iron Mask why you got mixed up with this group of rebels."
The girl shivered even more when she heard this. She almost used all her strength to squeeze out a sentence through her teeth, "But...but I am not Miss Ilea."
"What?" The leading cavalryman frowned slightly, and then asked his men to pull off the hood on the girl's head. There were only a pair of short, fluffy ears underneath, which were not the iconic long ears of the Arias family.
The cavalryman was stunned, "Who are you?!"
The girl hid her face and said, "I am just a maid in the hotel. Miss Ilea came to me and asked me if I would like to make some money. As long as I put on her clothes and walk around here, I can get five gold coins by saying something.
