Chapter 69: Smooth Escape

In fact, Normer and the others had been standing silently under a lit street lamp, but they were covered by a wide cloak, a seemingly ordinary cloak that Plitander wore on his body every day, and at this moment from the inside of the cloak, everything that happened outside was clear, as if the cloak did not exist at all, but these people outside just couldn't feel them, even if they were close at hand, looking at them with straight eyes, they could only walk in front of them with a look of doubt and vigilance.

Feeling the magical effect of "black under the lamp" brought by Plitander's "ordinary" cloak, Dawn playfully stuck out her tongue at Sophie and David, who were on guard, and made a grimace, which could successfully play with these two high-ranking noble children, making Dawn feel happy, and secretly wondering if she should ask the old butler for this cloak to play for a while, if she could kick the charming buttocks of Sophie with a proud face, and then play a disappearance method before she turned back, it is estimated that this inexplicable pride hit the street" Peacock", she must be so surprised or even frightened that she can't maintain her so-called aristocratic lady's demeanor, right?

The footsteps of "click" sounded softly, and it was the search team that did not give up, and after reaching the end of the street, they searched again on the way back.

Compared with the dense formation when they went to the past, this time their team was slightly more divided, and the scope of the search was obviously expanded, but they still paid attention to covering each other, no one was empty behind their backs, lost the protection of their companions, and no one was left alone.

The long knife stretched out and opened the lid of the box, and a guard of the Renault family took a look at it very carefully, there were some miscellaneous items in the box, all of which were very common daily necessities, worthless, but they were placed very carefully, almost taking up all the space, and it was impossible for anyone to hide, so he closed the lid and made a gesture to the companion who was protecting him, and went to the next target.

Several other guards surrounded a corner, and one of them slammed open a small door, and immediately there was a dog barking, and in the quiet of the night, the dog barked very loudly, and the unique smell of animals also came out, and the guard quickly covered his mouth and nose, and quickly closed the small door.

Since the dog is still in it, it proves that the murderer cannot hide here.

Obviously, they have not only expanded the scope of the search, but also strengthened their efforts a lot, and when they went there, they already had a basic understanding of the entire street, and when they came back, they could carry out more targeted and focused investigations.

Sophie was still faintly guarded in the middle, she didn't dare to be careless, while moving her steps lightly, while engrossed in observing the depression under the eaves, where it was dark and shady, according to common sense, the eaves of the house where the commoners lived were small in length, and the space was narrow, and she should not be able to hide people, but she knew that for some trained strange people, this place could just accommodate it, and with the use of people's inertial thinking, it was likely to hide from the world.

Maintaining a state of vindictiveness at any time, Sophie searched one eaves after another, but unfortunately she was disappointed, and after looking carefully for so long, there was no trace of the murderer hidden under the eaves. With the movement of her footsteps, Sophie unconsciously returned to the vicinity of a certain street lamp.

Closer, closer, closer.

Dawn began to be a little nervous, at this moment Sophie was already very close to them, only less than a meter left, and she was still regressing step by step, constantly shortening the distance between each other, and if she took two more steps, she would directly bump into them, looking at the position, it was exactly where her back to the girl was, and it was revealed at that time.

Sophie took another step back, and Dawn could feel the cold aura emitted by the long sword in the other party's hand, and with the blessing of the ice fighting qi, the cold aura on the blade of the sword seemed doubly cold and cold.

So the girl held her breath and quietly tightened her grip on the short sword, in case Sophie's proud body crashed into her arms and accidentally broke their whereabouts, then it was no wonder that she wanted to hijack the other party and take the proud "peacock" as a hostage, so that she could get out smoothly.

If it were the other people in the team, maybe they would pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but it was Aunt Chenxi who was facing her, hum, anyway, it was very unpleasant to look at her, and it was not impossible to take the opportunity to leave some souvenirs on Sophie's pretty face.

At the moment when Sophie took a small step back and was about to bump into Chenxi by herself, as if there was a providence in the dark, she stopped her steps back, and with a very slight "huh" in her mouth, she took two steps forward in a row, and the sword was facing upward, and searched for an eaves.

As soon as she moved like this, several guards of the Renault family naturally moved forward to protect her and search her together, but unfortunately, it was finally confirmed to be a false alarm.

The two teams of warriors searched silently for a while, but found nothing, so they had to return to the leader, all of them at a loss.

"Uncle, we searched carefully, and we really didn't find anything. ”

David frowned, unwilling to report.

Johnson Reynaud did not hesitate and simply ordered to search elsewhere, and the group quickly divided into several groups and quickly left the neighborhood.

Seeing everyone turn away, Normer and the others listened attentively to the footsteps of the seekers leaving, until they finally disappeared completely, and the morning sun was ready to laugh out loud, and the eyes of Normer beside him were quick, and he quickly covered the girl's cherry mouth, and Plitander on the other side also tacitly held the girl's small hand that was about to lift the cloak, and the two of them put their fingers to their mouths at the same time, signaling the girl not to act rashly.

Chenxi blinked her big smart eyes, and she reacted instantly, and she suppressed the idea of wanting to laugh out loud, and continued to wait obediently.

Their patience has been duly rewarded.

After less than half a stick of incense, almost at the same time, several figures rushed out from the front and back of the street, the left and right directions, the speed was fast, the breath was strong, and all of them lit up with different colors, which was a sign of the release of fighting spirit to form the whole body armor and battle robes, and they came to a place not far from where Normer was standing in the blink of an eye, faintly forming a tight encirclement, it was Johnson Renault and others who had gone and returned!

These powerful seekers were armed with weapons in their hands, looking around back to back, their expressions were extremely focused, but the slightly dazed expression on their faces told Chenxi that their deliberate return blow this time still did not achieve the expected effect, and there was no sign of prey in the specially laid trap.

Pierre, who was the leader, crouched down, looked at the ground, then stood up and led the team around a few key targets, not even leaving the corners where the debris was discarded.

"Strange, it really disappeared so magically. Pierre muttered to himself, looking incredulous.

Sophie also took a step forward, suspiciously scanning the silent and uninhabited streets, they went and returned this time, originally with the idea of taking them by surprise, as long as the enemy is still nearby, they will definitely show the fox's tail in a surprise situation, but they didn't expect it to be miscalculated, that can only show that the murderer did use some kind of secret method that they didn't know just now, and easily escaped from the field of vision they tracked.

Johnson Renault moved slowly, his eyes focused on the ground around him, he paid special attention to the dust on the ground, from all the details, it was indeed exactly the same as when they left just now, proving that the murderer was really not here, otherwise he would have taken advantage of their departure to try to escape quickly, then they would have been blocked by them who had been specially rushed back, and they were all caught in the net.

A middle-aged samurai with a relatively short stature but an extremely stocky body looked at the leader and shook his head to indicate that he had found nothing.

This man's name is Navas, he is the captain of Johnson Renault's personal guard, and he is also an eighth-level warrior, among the subordinates that Johnson Renault brought on this trip, he is the best at tracking except for Pierre, he is in charge of leading a group back to the farthest end of the street, from the farthest to here, after arriving, he deliberately pays attention to whether the footprints on the ground have changed, and the result is very disappointed.

It's weird.

If the enemy is deceived by blindfolding, there will be some exposure of the breath, and it is impossible to escape the comprehensive search of so many good hands;

If you use a high-level magic scroll for short-distance spatial teleportation, it is theoretically possible, but it is difficult to explain that there was no mana fluctuation and anomaly before;

As for the situation of opening the space door and escaping, pull it down and just think about it. If the murderer has the strength to open and manipulate the space door, to say the least, he is also a saint level above the consummation level, and he has stepped into the realm of the gods, such a powerful existence, he can wipe himself out with just a slight movement of a finger, how can he need to flee for his life?

Johnson Renault, Pierre and Keylor Navas exchanged glances, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's go." Search for nearby neighborhoods. Johnson Renault once again gave the same order as before, but in his tone, there was obviously a taste of unwillingness and suspicion.

The group split up again and quickly left the street.

This time, without being reminded, Dawn herself remained quiet, motionless, until a long time later, when it was confirmed that the seeker's side had really given up on this place, and then Plitander whispered, "Alright, we can leave too." ”

So the three of them lifted the cloak that covered themselves, it was really a magical thing, when they wrapped the whole body of the three of them just now, this cloak was clearly very wide and long, so that they could be wrapped in it from head to toe, without revealing a trace, and now when they returned to Plitander himself, they could recover to the size suitable for the old butler's body by themselves!

Dawn stared at the "ordinary" cloak behind Plitander, her eyes sparkled, and she was thinking about the specific words of begging for this treasure, such a fun treasure, if she didn't use it to tease Miss Sophie, she would be sorry for herself.

Normer was amused when he saw her expression, and knowing that the girl was playing the cloak again, he patted Dawn's head and said, "Let's go, little fortune fan." ”

Dawn blushed, knowing that her brother had seen through her intentions, so she giggled twice and obediently followed Normer. If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. Since it has been included in the list of worries of Aunt Chenxi, it is impossible to get out of the way, the journey has just begun, and there will be an opportunity to ask the old housekeeper for it in the future, right?

The three of them walked briskly, and finally returned from the remote and quiet place to the vicinity of the hotel where they lived, even in the middle of the night, the flow of people was obviously much more, the lively atmosphere of life was blowing in their faces, there were stalls selling snacks everywhere, shouting and shouting one after another, the smell of all kinds of food, the spicy smell of bad wine, with the wind, full of simple and affordable allure.

For people who have worked hard for a day, as long as there are a few copper keen left in their pockets, they are willing to be free and easy at this time, find a small wine stall that can be seen everywhere to drink two cups, eat a bowl of cheap and sufficient pasta, and the diners around the wine stall have a wild chat, and finally touch the bulging belly to go home, and it is best to fall asleep beautifully.

What should I do if I get up tomorrow and have no money in my pocket? This is the most simple wish of the little people, the requirements are not high, just live well.
