Mary asked around, but she didn't ask, and she even learned that Siddell's soldiers had asked the same question earlier in the tavern on the coast.

None of them got an answer, and she naturally couldn't know anything.

But when Maria returned discouraged, she passed by the alley, and she was knocked unconscious.

I don't know how long it took for her to wake up, but she couldn't see anything in front of her, as if she was tied to a chair, her mouth was also gagged, and she couldn't make a sound.

"Mmmm......mmmm

"Wake up. ”

A male voice that sounds a little older. Be at least 30 years old.

"Now, we will take down the cloth from your mouth, and if you dare to scream, we will kill you. Do you understand?"

Maria nodded hurriedly.

She felt only a hand, and took the ball away, and Maria could finally catch her breath.

"Where is this? Who are you? Why are you kidnapping me?"

"There are so many questions. Now it's us asking you, not you asking us. The voice paused and said, "Why are you asking for news from those two people?"

Mary didn't want to talk about it at first, but she had never experienced any of this, and when she heard the other party's slightly harsh words, such as buying her into a hook bar, or simply bleeding...... She was scared and said everything.

The other party was silent after listening, and then the sound of departing footsteps rang out.

It was the footsteps of two people.

After they had left, Mary tried to shout a few times, and when she was sure that there was no one, she struggled to get out.

As a result, one of them was unstable and fell to the ground.

The hemp rope on her body seems to be a professional dead buckle, but the strip of cloth that tied her eyes was rubbed and fell off.

It was only when Mary found herself that she seemed to be imprisoned in a cabin.

Just as Maria was wondering what she should do next, the door opened, and two male feathered people entered.

One is a middle-aged man dressed as a captain.

One is a tall dark-skinned man.

Old Bennett sighed helplessly, "Little girl, it looks like you need to come with us." ”

When they were seen in the outward appearance, they naturally couldn't let Mary go so easily, but wouldn't it be more dangerous to let her stay here?

The final conclusion that old Bennett had just consulted with Masik was that he was going to take the back road and inform them of the news.

One is out of their conscience, and the other is out of the hope that the other party will remember this time.

They need help.

And the more people you can make friends with, the better.

At that moment, old Bennett instructed the rest of the crew to bring all the necessary supplies, and let Maria disguise herself as a man and set off with him and Masik.

They needed to get through before they could deploy their troops at the mouth of the gorge so they could bring the news in.

But......

It's late.

The mercenaries of the fishmen had arrived one step ahead of the troops led by Thronias, numbering about thirty or so.

It seems that they are really idle.

In that case, they had no choice but to leave, and then silently pray for the good luck of the two.

"Hey, what are you doing here!"

Unfortunately, when they were leaving, they were bumped into.

Old Bennett casually made excuses, but the fishmen were like fish smelling fish, and they actually judged that it was a woman from the body odor.

"Men of beauty, it feels good...... "Fishman said, "you leave this wingless man behind, and you can go." ”

He waved his hand as if to drive away flies.

Old Bennett had heard that the mercenaries of the Fishmen in this country were doing evil, but he didn't expect it to be so rampant.

Seeing that they were silent, as if they were resisting, all the mercenaries of the fishmen swarmed up and surrounded them.

Maria looked around a little bewildered, trying to grasp the wings of the person in front of her, but she held back.

"Isn't it just a wingless man?" laughed the fish-man, "if you think it's a loss-making deal, then buy it for a silver coin." ”

When old Bennett and Masik heard this, a wave of anger rose up.

"Wingless people are human beings. No one is born to be at the mercy of anyone. Old Bennett said, "I'm sorry, you can't take this girl with you today." ”

Although Masik did not speak, he pulled out the dagger at his waist and said it all with his actions.

The moment Maria saw their decision, she almost cried.

In the first place, these wingless people were able to enter the palace to serve, thanks to the support of Queen Anna and Princess Philola, they had no way to change the deep-rooted class concept in this world, just like letting these wingless people enter the palace as guards and maids, and treat them like feathered people...... It is a mercenary relationship, not a slave.

That's why Maria loves Princess Philora.

Later, Maria meets Moran, an adventurer who is kind to her, and then meets these two lovely guys......

She felt that being able to stand here was worth everything.

But Maria also knew that the two of them would not be able to fight so many warlike fishmen.

"I see. Maria walked around the two and walked to the front, "I'll stay, let them go." ”

Maria's hands were trembling, but her heart was ready.

Once they were safely gone, Maria would stab the dagger into her arms.

She would rather die than be insulted by these brutes.

"You silly girl. Old Bennett was surprised.

"Captain. Masik spoke.

"That's all I can do. Bennett Sr. sighed.

Masik stepped forward and embraced Mary in his arms with strong hands.

"Offended. ”

Maria looked up in confusion, but saw Masik's wings waving behind her, and the next second, her body was lifted off the ground.

And the pure white wings flapped like heaven.

The same goes for old Bennett.

They are now hovering in mid-air.

"You are...... Winged Man?" Maria was shocked, she didn't expect to be able to see her in her lifetime.

The Winged People are a special group of Feathered People, who can barely glide from a high altitude to the ground, but Winged People are able to soar freely in the sky.

They were just as excluded from the crowd as the Wingless, and the Feathered People might have been a little more afraid of them.

Mary looked farther and farther away at the ground, both frightened and excited.

"I flew, I flew......"

She faintly heard laughter, but when she looked up at Masik, it was the same expressionless face.

Old Bennett looked at the ground rather proudly, "Hey, you fishy things, go back to your deep sea! Oh, sorry, I forgot, there are beautiful mermaids in the sea, you are dirty and ugly, but you can't get along!"

Masik, who had already flown some distance, turned around, only to see his middle-aged captain, hovering above the heads of those fishmen, mocking him with impunity.

"Captain!" he shouted.

Although he knew that old Bennett hadn't flapped his wings for a long time, it wasn't a good thing to be overjoyed.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming!" Bennett Sr. gave up on such a fun project and prepared to keep up with Masik.

"Nether Hand. ”

A voice suddenly appeared, and a huge ghost palm suddenly jumped out from the ground, and pounced on old Bennett.

He tried to dodge, but he was a little slower because he hadn't flown for too long, and was grabbed by one leg by the ghost's palm and dragged down.

"Captain!" Masik was a little anxious, turned around, and was about to fly over.

"Leave me alone!" shouted old Bennett, struggling to flap his wings and fly up, but there was a greater tug from the dark purple palm.

Masik hesitated for a moment, and saw more centaurs coming not far away, as well as the banner of the flying kingdom of Sidl.

The emaciated middle-aged man sitting on the horse looked at them with gloomy eyes.

He gritted his teeth, quickly flapped his wings, and flew towards the Weeping Canyon.
