XVIII. Halfway

Jacqueline Mozraf, no, I should say, Jacqueline Rupert is right. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, she is caught up in a memory, that is, beautiful, sweet, but at the same time full of pain and hatred.

"After all these years, Essen Swider ......"

- Knock knock!

Before the rest of the words were finished, Jacqueline shut her mouth, and a sudden knock on the door dragged her back from her memories to reality.

"At this time. ”

Jacqueline looked out the window, as if she had been painted dark with a black paintbrush.

"Come in. ”

Jacqueline said to the people outside.

The door opened, and like a shadow, a thin figure wrapped in a black magic robe walked in silently.

"I didn't expect you to come here so openly. ”

Jacqueline smiled slyly.

"For me, being above board is not in line with my style, hiding is what I'm good at, and no one found me on the way here. ”

"It's really arrogant, it's just a fluke. ”

"Even if I were discovered, I would have a number of ways to escape, and if you were caught trading with a shadow mage, the consequences would be even worse than if I were discovered. ”

The man hidden in the robe, revealing a deep look.

"You don't have to worry about that. ”

The other party took out a glass vial and handed it to Jacqueline.

"According to the plan, this will be given to you, let her eat it, and she will become your puppet. ”

"Puppet?

Jacqueline wondered, if there really was such a miracle medicine, why didn't this guy use it to rule the world directly?

"Well, you can find someone to try it, but the side effects are very large, and at present, it is only a semi-finished product. ”

Whether this bottle of medicine was brought out in a panic when he left the organization, or whether it was an experimental product that was ready to be discarded, the finished product has side effects, and I don't know what kind of side effects will occur after giving the experimental product to people. That said, the method of making this thing is very repetitive, and it would never have been possible without shadow magic.

The robed mage remembered that he was still there, and for some newcomers who were forcibly brought in and had a very strong sense of resistance, he had to use this kind of thing to eliminate their resistance, in short, it was a brainwashing prop.

Jacqueline stared at the small glass bottle, "What if you used it to control an old man?"

"Not everyone can afford this thing, and the worst possible outcome is to die immediately, you have to think about it. ”

"It's serious, I was just joking. ”

"I'm leaving, can't stay here too long, and ......"

The robed mage seemed to notice some movement outside, as if there was some commotion.

"It's getting buzzing outside, Jacqueline. ”

Vaguely, Jacqueline seemed to see the other party laughing.

The man left, and Jacqueline went to the innermost part of the room, where there was a one-meter cabinet next to the bed, and put the glass bottle in the drawer of the cabinet, and a purple crystal ball was placed in the drawer. When I saw the crystal ball, the words of that day seemed to be wrapped around my ears.

"So you're a magician, you're a princess. ”

Obviously, the first person to know him was himself.

Outcome...... Still......

******

Danica and Zonon hid behind a large rock on the edge of the grass, and at this time, the quiet night was full of insects. Look in the direction of the labyrinthine corridor, where maids pass by one after another with things.

"Hey...... We've been walking here for hours, it's getting dark, do you really remember the way?"

Zonon lowered his voice, his expression a little tired.

"I almost remembered. ”

"More than once we've made a mistake and then gone back, it's a lot of frustration. ”

"Don't bother me! I've got a map in my head!"

Danica glared at him for trouble.

"It's too loud. ”

Zonon nervously reminded that a young maid had come over a hundred and fifty meters away.

“…… I see, you shut up first. ”

Danica stared at the maid who was passing by, she was dressed in the same costume as the maid who caught her that day, and she was impressed. The first time she was caught here, she walked a lot, and what Danica remembered most on the way was that there was a big rock next to the grass somewhere.

After coming out of there, she took Zonon on a long journey until she finally found the place in her memory.

The maid gradually approached, the distance narrowed, and both held their breath and did not say a word until the other was completely far away.

"There's something that I think is weird. ”

Zonorn, who was finally able to speak, felt that something was not quite right around him.

"What's weird?"

"We've been out for a few hours, why hasn't anyone come out looking for you. ”

"Huh......?"

Danica was stunned, "That's true, I didn't expect you to find out before me......"

"You're too sluggish, aren't you?"

"It has nothing to do with sluggishness, I'm so busy thinking about how to get out of here that I don't pay attention for a while. ”

Although he said that, Zonon's words reminded Danica that it was impossible for people here to be indifferent all the time, it was impossible to be so quiet all the time, and I am afraid that for some reason, she was forced to bring here, even if it caused a sense of righteousness and brightness at first. In fact, the fact that she disappeared was largely unknown to too many people.

“…… What are you thinking? Suddenly stopped talking. ”

Thinking about it along this line, there is such a high probability that the person who caught himself and locked him up is not the real owner of this place.

"It must be so, yes, neither my arrest nor my escape from this place can be known to the owner of this place. ”

"What are you muttering? Remember the way out?"

"Nope. ”

"Huh?"

"I thought of a better way. ”

Danica said in a low voice.

"What's the solution?"

"You should be impatient, I have a good idea, instead of pinning on my inaccurate memory, see, someone is coming again!"

Danica pointed to a figure walking towards her in the distance, who was still very far away from this side, and couldn't tell if it was a maid or not.

"I don't understand, don't be impulsive, we made an appointment......"

Zonon was about to stop her, but in the middle of her sentence, she was silenced by Danica, and her voice stopped abruptly.

“…… Well, I'm going to prepare, I don't want to be recognized. ”

After thinking about it and looking at his clothes again, Zonon tore out a long cloth and tied it to his face.

"It's really hard to tear this dress......"

"Quiet ......"

Danica whispered a reminder that the man approached.

"I knew that I should have chosen the maid who just left, but now I react, isn't it a waste of opportunity?"

Zonon couldn't help but think to himself.

The man who walked towards them was a fat man in a white chef's suit, who seemed to be carrying a basket of vegetables on his back, and he didn't know where he was going.
