At the same time, in an alley in Maiye Village, Catherine was walking quietly.
As Nalant said, Catherine was brave and talented, so she did not choose to escape from the Storm Territory at this time.
At this time, Catherine was in a very confused state of mind. She alerted the lords of Stormland, but failed to rescue the barbarians, which meant that the next rescue would be even more difficult.
In addition, she actually found out today that a noble was willing to take in the Daughter of Doom.
Especially when she escaped from the castle, Narante's words: You can stay in the castle, just like the two girls!
Catherine could hear the sincerity in Nalant's words.
"Why didn't you show up five years ago? If I could have met you at that time, maybe my father, my sister..."
Catherine couldn't help but think of the past, with a sad look on her face.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, interrupting her thoughts.
"Why is there still someone walking around so late at night?" Catherine paused and immediately leaned against the corner, secretly looking at the figure appearing in front of her.
The figure came out of a thatched house. After carefully looking around, he sneakily walked to another thatched house, and then knocked softly.
The door of the thatched house that was knocked opened quickly, and the figure quickly got in.
After confirming that there was no one in the alley, Catherine started to move forward again. As for her previous doubts, she had forgotten them. Now she needed to hide herself and was in no mood to explore other things.
However, just as Catherine passed by the thatched house that the man had just entered, her steps suddenly stopped.
Because the vague conversation coming from the room was actually related to the purpose of her trip.
"Captain Charlie, those barbarians were captured by the Storm Leader!"
"Well, I already know it!"
The people talking in the room at this time were Charlie and one of his team members.
They came with a purpose, and they wanted to summarize today's exploration at night when no one was around.
"Captain, tell me how they did it. You must know that we attracted hundreds of barbarians that day! As for the strength of the Storm Territory, we also had a rough look during the day. There were only thirty or forty people at most!
"The team members were full of doubts.
"I also want to know this question very much. I also tentatively asked some villagers during the day, but they didn't know the situation. It seems that the barbarians we attracted were captured before they arrived at Maiye Village!" Charlie was also the one.
Confused.
"Captain Charlie, what should we do now?"
"I think this land of doom is full of weirdness. You have spent so much effort to blame the Storm Territory, but it has no effect at all. Instead, it has brought benefits to the Storm Territory and turned the barbarians into coolies!"
"So, it's best not to act rashly for the time being."
"Captain, wouldn't it be that our visit this time was in vain?"
After hearing this, Charlie frowned slightly and thought about how many of them had gone through so much trouble to get to the Storm Territory. If they just returned without success, they would definitely not be able to explain what they were doing when they returned.
After thinking for a moment, he continued: "I see that all the guards from the Storm Territory are concentrated in the castle. Why don't you take four or five people to tie up the mayor of Maiye Village tomorrow, and then kidnap the elves or other brown sugar black bread from the Storm Territory?
Ask for their secrets and destroy them if possible."
"This way it's not in vain for us to come here. After everything is done, you guys will go directly back to the territory, and I will continue to lead the caravan here and others to Tulip City! I believe that the caravan is only missing four or five people, and there must be no
People notice it.”
"Okay, captain!" Upon hearing this, the team members also felt that this was feasible.
If they really kill the salt mine elves in the Storm Territory, then it will be a great achievement for them to return.
"Well, go back! Don't show anything strange before tomorrow night!"
"Okay, captain!" the team member responded, and then sneaked out of Charlie's thatched hut.
After the team member returned to his thatched house, Catherine walked out from the dark corner.
"So, the person who killed Raymond and his tribe was not the lord of the Storm Territory?" All the previous whispered conversations between Charlie and Charlie fell into Catherine's ears. "Then who is the noble who killed the barbarian women and children this time?
?”
After thinking for a moment, Catherine was not ready to immediately arrest Charlie and interrogate the real culprit, because doing so would inevitably cause noise. She could only wait until tomorrow night when these people were going to wreak havoc and go to the wild, then she could take action.
…
The next morning, what happened in the castle last night was not spread to Maiye Village due to Nalant's explanation, and everything in the caravan village was as usual.
The bees controlled by Shirley began to search throughout the woods near the Storm Territory.
And she and Vivianan left the castle themselves, put on ordinary coarse linen clothes, and walked through the streets and alleys of Maiye Village to secretly look at the villagers they met.
In this way, the two of them patrolled Maiye Village for a whole day, but they had no clue.
The bees and Xiao Huihui who were sent out did not find any suspicious lone woman.
"Sister Vivian, it's almost dark, and we haven't found the assassin for you yet!" The little Lolita was a little frustrated. She originally thought that she could find the assassin by relying on her little Huihui and Bee, but now she is disappointed.
And return.
"Shirley, the assassin hid on purpose. It's not that easy to find! However, with your bees and Xiao Huihui here, as long as she is still in the storm territory, we will definitely be able to find her!" Although Vivian
She was also a little disappointed, but seeing Shirley in such a state, she still gave her a word of encouragement.
"Sister Vivian, the assassin appeared at night yesterday. How about we secretly hide in Maiye Village at night and wait and see if she will appear?" Shirley suddenly said whimsically.
"That's... okay!" Vivian was unwilling to accept it, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go and talk to the adults now, and we'll go live in the stone house later!" Shirley said excitedly.
Afterwards, the two women returned to the castle and prepared to report to Nalant.
After Narant heard the two women's request and saw their unwillingness, he reluctantly agreed.
However, I told you that if you discover anything, you must not alert the enemy, and you must come and report it to yourself!
The two girls naturally agreed to this request.
…
Midnight, in Maiye Village.
Vivian and Shirley were lying next to the window of the stone house in the square. At this time, Shirley, who had originally vowed to help the lord catch the assassin, was already drowsy. She leaned against Vivian and her little head shook from side to side from time to time.
.
On the other hand, Vivian's eyes were bright and she was carefully observing the situation around her.
"Eh!" Suddenly, Vivian cried out in surprise, because she saw five figures gathering in the dark in Maiye Village.
"These people don't seem to be residents of Maiye Village. Why are they out so late?"
As a marksman, Vivian's eyesight was good. After seeing those few people gathered together, they walked directly towards a relatively new thatched house on the roadside, which was the house of Pete Leather Boots.
Several people quietly approached the thatched house, then secretly opened the window, and two of them immediately slipped in.
Just when Vivian was in shock, the person who had just slipped into the thatched house came out carrying a figure on his shoulders.
"Are they bad people?" Vivian understood what was going on, no matter how slow she reacted.
The next moment, Vivian directly held the long bow beside her, and then pushed Shirley's little head.
