On the roof beams, Xifa and Alice cautiously groped forward.
Whenever soldiers in armor pass by below.
They would then tacitly bend down and let the beam as wide as one person block their silhouette, thus hiding in the blind spot of the soldiers' sight.
The sonorous footsteps of the patrolling soldiers below gradually faded away.
The two of them stood up again and continued to move forward quietly.
Clang——Clang——
The sound of footsteps disappeared from my ears.
Alice hummed in her mind as she followed Xifa through the neighborhood.
Boom——
It turns out that Western France suddenly stopped.
The unsuspecting girl put her head on the boy's back in order not to cause too much noise. She couldn't react!
what's the situation!
The girl who came over in shock immediately reached out and caressed Xifa's back.
She thought Xifa was under a spell!
With physical contact, she got the answer in an instant.
Xifa was not cursed!
That being the case.
She quickly checked around. Is there any potential threat?
At this point, she relaxed and raised her hand to rub her forehead.
"Hey! Why did you stop suddenly!"
The girl's tone was scolding mixed with curiosity.
"Look over there."
Xifa turned his head and smiled slightly to express his apology for his rashness, and then pointed to the cell door to one side with a solemn expression and asked.
"Does that wizard look familiar to you?"
Alice followed Xifa's hand and found that it was a wizard who should be blond and white-skinned.
At this time, he was lying unconscious behind the cell door.
The shape is haggard, like a beggar.
"It does look familiar. I should have seen it somewhere not long ago..."
Hearing these words, Xifa's body was slightly stunned again.
Alice was unaware of this.
"At the previous camp."
Xifa reminded softly.
"When we first came out of the portal and faced off against the two wizards, he secretly watched us on the second floor!"
Xifa calmed down and turned to look at Alice's face.
The girl indeed looked like she was struggling with memories.
Although Xifa mentioned it, Alice didn't think of it, but she didn't want to embarrass herself if she couldn't remember it.
Put this incident happily behind you.
So, when she saw Xifa staring at her, her expression changed from contemplation to joy.
He smiled and said, "So, let's save him by the way?"
"of course not!"
Xifa turned his gaze slightly to prevent Alice from seeing the complicated look in his eyes.
Before Alice could speak again, he took steps and continued on his way.
"What!" "Wait for me!"
Alice muttered dissatisfiedly and continued walking when Xifa didn't say hello to her.
She quickly called out in a low voice and followed in small steps.
——————
"Newt Scamander!"
Who is it? Damn it, my head hurts! I’m so tired!
After shouting, the comatose Newt finally regained consciousness.
Wait until he opens his eyes.
His heart skipped a beat.
In front of him was a sergeant wearing ferocious armor, and behind him was a row of order guards.
Seeing that it was not his own Sniff that woke him up, but also two living treasures, the Bowtruckle.
Newt lowered his head slightly, covering his eyes with his bangs, and his eyes wandered around to look at the environment he was in, and at the same time to see what else was on him.
Although he was not searched, his wand and suitcase were obviously confiscated.
The sergeant seemed to know that Newt was awake.
I saw him silent.
Accompanied by sonorous steel footsteps.
Newt's thick hair was grabbed by the sergeant.
"Can't you raise your head? Let me help you!"
But that's all.
It doesn't even hurt.
Newt smiled contemptuously.
"Hmph! As slaves, you must abide by the contract. You can't even hurt me!"
"I can understand that you want freedom, but I cannot accept that you want to destroy this world!"
For the good old Newt to say such words, it seems that the sergeants did indeed go too far.
"Is it wrong for us to do this? Do you know how many years we have been under house arrest here?"
“We just don’t want to keep doing this repetitive thing!”
The sergeant leaned into Newt's ear and scolded loudly.
"It's because of you! You set up a contract!"
"Without enough souls, the Chaos clan will not help us terminate the contract!"
"If you don't terminate the contract for us, we will stay in this desolate world until the end of time!"
"Ha! He created us but didn't care about our feelings! Over the years, what we have paid is worthy of the master who gave us wisdom!"
…
"What do you mean? As slaves, you actually rebelled against your master! It seems that wisdom should not have been given to you back then!"
A voice came from above everyone's heads.
The soldiers and Newt looked up.
What caught his eyes was Xifa who was looking down at them, while Alice was secretly hiding aside.
"Hmph! I know you! Trialist!"
The sergeant raised his arm and tried to attack Xifa with the bow and arrow in his hand.
Obviously, his idea was doomed to be in vain.
Invisible turbulence flashed in front of the bow and arrow.
He couldn't even aim his arrow at Xifa.
"Ah!"
Seeing this, Xifa chuckled lightly.
"If you stick to your mission, then I really admire you and even help you get out of the contract."
"To say the least, if you start a new life and hope to get out, it's not without discussion."
"But you are trying to destroy order and seek the skin of a tiger! Exchange freedom by releasing Tiamat, who is suppressed here!"
"Then I'm sorry, the conflict between you and me will end until death!"
The scene was still for a while.
"It seems that there is no need to talk between us!" Faced with the noncommissioned officer's declaration of opposition, Xifa chuckled and replied. "Of course, and I am different from Senior Newt."
After saying that, Xifa suddenly changed into dragon eyes!
"I don't know, as a trialer of my level, will you be obedient?"
"I order you! Let Newt go!"
When the sergeant heard this, his body began to shake violently.
Seeing a hint of joy on Xifa's face.
His body suddenly stopped.
"Just kidding!"
The sergeant waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to arrest Xifa.
"Execution of emergency regulations, the trial process is attacked by the enemy, the guards must do their best to protect the trial participants!"
Obviously, the enemy is the erosion of the Chaos clan, and the rule of protecting the trialists has been distorted.
As long as the trialist is imprisoned and he does not undergo any trials, won't he not be able to face any threats?
At the same time, there is still no food provided here.
Therefore, Newt is now extremely weak as he is hungry and drained of magic power.
What the sergeant didn't expect was that Xifa didn't panic when he saw this scene.
He still had a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect you to be obedient!"
"But our goal has been achieved!"
What?
The sergeant turned his head sharply.
I saw that Newt, who was locked in the prison, was missing...
Wait a minute for us!
"Damn Time Stealer!"
The sergeant realized that Alice, who was supposed to be by Xifa's side, had gone somewhere!
