"First of all, we have to change ourselves from the way we dress." As she spoke, Yugari took out a few worn-out looking clothes from the magical space.

"Huh? You don't think about ......" Looking at the patched clothes in front of her, Miria said with a look of disgust.

"Of course! Miria doesn't look like a kidnapped child at all. The moon was dark and the wind was high just now, so they didn't notice it, and when they saw you dressed in silk and satin, wearing gold and silver, they would definitely be exposed on the spot! ”

"But......" said Miria, still unacceptable, "this dress...... It's ......."

"Don't worry, these clothes are very clean, and I have washed them well. Come on, come on. Don't put it away. With that, Yugari picked up a piece of clothing and lunged at Miria. Despite Miria's repeated resistance, she finally couldn't resist Eugarie and was replaced with a shabby dress with a sad face.

Yugari herself put away the "Pseudo-Vulcan Robe" and put on a blue-and-white coat that had been washed and worn, and put on a pair of trousers that were already covered with patches and could not be seen in their original color.

Just as Miria looked aggrieved, Yugari continued to say seriously, "Next, is the change of appearance. The so-called change of appearance is to have a face that will not be recognized by them immediately! ”

"Don't be so strict, I think that's enough for now."

"How can this work?" Holding Miria's flowing blonde hair, Yugari said, "Look at it, if you have such well-maintained hair, you will be suspected by people all of a sudden!" How can the children here have time for such extravagant things? ”

"No...... Don't hit me with the idea of hair! It's my most cherished thing! Miria said helplessly, "Can't you fly back to move the rescuers now?" Why do you have to ......?"

"No, it's not easy to find such an obvious target in the sky!" Yugari seemed to have a sudden desire to play tricks on Miria in her heart, and continued, "As an excellent adventurer and the daughter of the president of the Magic Association, shouldn't you focus on the overall situation and not care about personal gains and losses? With that, Eugari lunged at Miria again.

"Don't——!" Even though she was worried about being heard by the patrolling guards, Miria shouted softly. However, Yujali did not want to stop at this time, and forcibly pushed Miria to the ground, pulled out a blue headband, and tied her hair in a mess, looking like the hairstyle of a sloppy and sloppy village girl.

Looking at Miria's current outfit, Yugari nodded pretendly, thinking to herself, "It's good that there are no mirrors here, otherwise she would have killed me......

Blanla, who was on the side, looked at Miria, and then at her own outfit, and immediately put away the dissatisfaction just now, and put on the heavy helmet with satisfaction.

"Alright." As she got up, she picked up the dejected Miria and said calmly, "Once the basic preparations are complete, Blana can just patrol here leisurely, and then wait until dawn to blend in with their team." It's best not to talk to others, so as not to expose yourself, and contact us again if there is any situation where we no longer have people. ”

Blala nodded.

"Then I'll leave it to you here, Miria and I will find a place to rest first, and see how it will be during the day tomorrow." With that, Eugari pulled a listless Miria into the room, found a vacant bed, and went to bed first. Blala, dressed in heavy armor, patrolled the corridors in a fake fashion.

The next morning, before dawn, the stone gate was rudely slammed open by the guards outside.

"Get up! Get up! Get ready, you lazy! Three or five guards shouted loudly, flicked their long whips, and walked arrogantly towards the floors, "If you don't get up, you will feel good!" ”

So, according to the previous plan, Eugari and Miria pretended to be children here, and followed everyone to the hall. Under the supervision of the guards, they began to fetch water, mop the floor, tidy up their rooms, and sweep, pull weeds, and carry goods around the stone building. For Miria, because she grew up in a family of great nobles, she had never been exposed to these jobs, so she seemed to be in a hurry to do it for a while, and sometimes she was too "clumsy" and was almost dragged out by the guards to repair it. And for Youjiali, who has been accustomed to poverty since she was a child, not to mention the simple housework in front of her, even the heavy farming work is not a problem at all. Not only did she do all the work at hand, but she even made the guards unnecessarily suspicious because she did so well. In short, their performance here is simply two extremes.

At breakfast, sitting at the long wooden table, Miria felt unusually devastated in the face of the leftovers. Watching the children around her gobble up this "delicacy" one by one, Milia looked in front of her again, she almost spit it out after just tasting it, and she didn't know what ingredients were used to make the porridge, and it took a long time to muster up the courage and swallow it.

"That looks like your former student." Eugari gestured and whispered to Miria, "I remember it was the little boy's sister." ”

"Hmmm! That's right! Following Yujiali's gaze, a small girl with a sad face was sitting not far away, "And the children next to her, too." ”

"When we have a chance, we'll talk to them about the situation and see if there's a good way to get everyone out of here."

"Hmm." Miria nodded as she poured the rest of the porridge into Eugari's bowl.

After breakfast, they were arranged to carry the goods in the warehouse in front of the villa. From the warehouse to the villa, the distance is about 100 meters. The children carried the heavy boxes in small groups, and they kept carrying them under the supervision of three or five guards.

Eugari and Miria deliberately intervened in the little girl's group, and took the opportunity to carry the box and struck up a conversation with the little girl.

"Y-Hello." Yugari accosted her a little far-fetched, "We just came here recently. ”

“…… Hello......" The little girl glanced at Eugari and replied in a whisper that was almost inaudible, her eyes showing a lot of sadness.

"I'd like to ask what kind of place this is, because I just arrived here and don't know anything, can you give us a brief introduction?"

"This ......"

"It's a prison, it's a prison." A slightly older boy in front of him turned his head and pretended to be very great and said, "They are all captured to do coolies, if you don't want to be beaten, just work and train according to their requirements." When you grow up, if you don't die, you can be taken away and become a soldier. ”

"Soldiering?"

"Yes, it's to pick up all those who have grown to about the same age, strong and potential. Of course, I don't know where I went, but in short, I told us that we all went to join the army. ”

"I don't think you're hurt at all, so you must not have suffered much. I advise you to talk less and work more, so as to save yourself trouble. An older boy next to him interjected indifferently.

"Over there! What are you muttering! Hurry up! I want to eat whips again, don't you! At this moment, the guards in the distance shouted loudly with long whips.

"Look." The boy shrugged his shoulders and continued to carry the goods briskly.

Arriving at the villa, Yugari and Miria cautiously observed the situation inside while carrying the goods. This is a very spacious and gorgeous villa, the hall is paved with red felt, painted beams and carved buildings, in addition to decorated with various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, on one side of the corridor there are many magic weapons that seem to be priceless.

Eugari and the others moved their goods to a storeroom-like room on the third floor. Every time she passed a room along the way, Yujiali carefully looked at the situation near the door, and found an opportunity to go over to see what was going on in the slightest place. One of the things she cared about the most was a room near the storeroom with two heavily armed guards guarding the door. The door to the room consists of two doors. When Yujiali passed by, Jia Zhi happened to dust his hands and walked out from inside. At the moment when the door was opened, Youjiali saw some large and small cargo boxes piled up near the door, and guessed that Jia Zhigang should have put them in. In the innermost part there is a gate that is not only huge, but also strangely decorated, and occupies an entire wall. made Youjiali subconsciously feel that there must be some ulterior secret hidden inside.

"Do you know what room that is?" Yujali took two steps and asked the little boy in front of her in a low voice.

The little boy turned his head and looked, shaking his head and replying, "I don't know, I just know that no one has ever entered it except the boss, and it is a treasure trove." However, in fact, except for the warehouse in front, none of us have been in any other places, and it is in vain for you to ask. With that, the boy turned his head away, ignoring Eugari's question.

After moving the goods, tidying up the storage room, and cleaning the tower-shaped stone building, the time has come to noon unconsciously.

"Haven't you thought about finding a chance to escape?" During lunch, Eugari, who was sitting at the long table, asked in a whisper.

"I want to go back...... Find my brother. The little girl muttered.

"It's not that easy, it's surrounded by guards, and it's a small island. There's nowhere to go. The little boy complained.

"When I first arrived, I was basically like you. At first, I was thinking about escaping, but after trying a few times, I was all dead, and I couldn't run away at all. Some of the children around me were also engaged in the discussion.

"If you want me to say what is there to run. Anyway, they are all homeless, and they are here to eat and drink, so what are they going back to? When you go out, you're also wandering on the streets, and it's not as good as living here. ”

"That's what I said, no one wants it anyway, what's the difference?"

"Hey, I have family waiting for me. Don't talk as if it's all the same as you. ”

"Huh? Your frail sister? Do you still want to go back and take care of her? Forget it, let's be realistic. You've forgotten the consequences of running away and getting caught, have you? ”

"If it weren't for my bad luck last time and I met the boss, I would have run away a long time ago."

"Forget it, I was caught before I even ran to the beach, so I don't brag about it."

"Who are you talking about?" Yugari suddenly interjected and asked.

"It's the tall man I often see by the pool. Sometimes he patrols with a particularly large black panther, sometimes he doesn't, and his outfit is often changed back and forth. He's the boss of this island, be careful. No matter where you go, he can get you back. ”

"Well, that's right. Even if it's hiding in the woods behind. Whether it's in a tree or in a hole, it can't escape his eyes. It's the same at night. ”

"That's ......" "So it's supposed to be the hunter." Looks like we'll have to figure out a way to evade his search skills......' Yugari pondered silently, "I don't know what his search range is, but it stands to reason that the skills can't be cast all day, so there will be a time to turn them off."

"Do you know how many guards they have?" Eugari asked.

"I don't know, I haven't counted."

"Forty or fifty people. I'm not sure, because I change it often, I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where I went. Not on this island anyway. ”

"Is there only one cadre?" Miria asked cautiously.

"I guess so...... Haven't seen anyone else. ”

"One time I saw several people who looked exactly like the boss."

"And this? You read that right? ”

"Maybe...... Maybe it's a doppelganger or something......" the little boy said uncertainly.

"I remember a girl came a long time ago, and they treated her like a big official."

"Girls? What kind of girl is it? Miria asked with sudden interest.

"Well...... I didn't see it clearly, I only saw a back. "It's a kid anyway, about the same age as us, wrapped in a scarf." He came for a while, and then he took a boat and left. Didn't do anything. It's been a long time ago. ”

"Have you been here many times? Is there anything special? ”

"Hmm...... I think I came here once. But I haven't been here for long, and I think I've only seen it once. Nothing else special. ”

As they spoke, suddenly, a man who looked like a captain in the distance was patrolling and shouting at them, "Don't grind! Hurry up and go out to work after eating! There's a lot of work to do out there! There are more boxes waiting to be unloaded tomorrow morning! If you can't finish today's stuff, don't want to sleep! ”

So, the frightened children hurriedly lowered their heads and ate silently, and stopped talking.

After lunch, some of the children were assigned to the backyard for special training and productive work, while the other part was assigned to stone buildings and villas to continue cleaning and tidying up. Eugari and Miria took the opportunity to observe their surroundings and facilities in detail, even remembering how often each guard changed people. At the risk of being whipped, Yujali sought as much detailed information as she could from the children. Of course, she also took advantage of the guards to do something in the villa from time to time.

The afternoon passed in the midst of labor, and there was no dinner, and as the night deepened and the temperature began to drop, it was finally late at night again.

"Are you ready for the day?" Eucaria, Miria, and Brala hid in a corner on the second floor, discussing in a whisper.

"Hmm. No problem, it's all set. Brala nodded in reply.

"Where's Miria?"

"Everything went well. It's you, no problem, right? ”

"Don't worry, when I moved things in the villa today, everything was quietly done. Add to that the ones that please Brala, and it's definitely fine. ”

At this moment, five or six figures walked in the distance of the hallway. At the front was the little boy who talked to Yujiali the most today. He was followed by several boys who were relatively tall and should have been older.

"I brought them all." When they got closer, the little boy whispered to Yugari and the others, "I found it as you asked." They were all very eager to get out of here as soon as possible, and they were all big kids who were in good physical condition and could at least fight with the guards. ”

"I have to get out of here anyway, I still have a lot of things waiting for me at home, even if I die." One of the boys said categorically.

"Me too, my younger brothers and sisters can't live without me, and if I don't go back, they will starve to death." Another boy said.

"Even if you die, you will die on the way to escape."

"Look, that's it. Basically, they all escaped several times, and they were all caught. Like me, there are reasons why I have to go back. The little boy explained.

"Needless to say, it's so serious. Rest assured, this time it will definitely be successful. With that, Yugari took out a few pieces of armor from the magical space. By the bright moonlight, it can be seen that these armors are almost exactly the same as the armor on Brala's body.

"What is this?" The little boy asked in surprise.

"This is something we just 'borrowed' from the guards patrolling here." Yugari explained, "It would be nice for you to put on your armor and continue patrolling here in a moment. Wait until tomorrow morning, and you will act according to Blala's instructions and protect everyone from here. Until then, you just have to try not to be discovered. ”

"This ......," the little boy hesitated and muttered, "is it really okay?" You won't be recognized all at once, will you? ”

"Don't worry. In fact, you shouldn't meet anyone, but if you do, there is Blala, so you should try to keep silent. We're well prepared, and we'll be fine. Eugari replied confidently.

"Just listen to her." The boy behind him said calmly, "It's a big deal to be caught and get a few more whips." No big deal. It's better than dying here all the time. ”

"It's easy for you to say, you're rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and I haven't been beaten yet." The little boy muttered quietly as he took the armor.

After a while, several of them were equipped with armor, and under the leadership of Blala, they quickly left here and continued to patrol the various floors.

"Will that hunter's detection be in trouble?" After Bralla left, Miria asked a little worriedly, "Although I have some anti-detection potions, I ......"

"Don't worry. No problem, I've looked it all in. "He only casts the Detection Skill when he's looking for someone or on patrol, and not at other times." I'll just have to distract him so he doesn't have time to take care of it. Rest assured, you can wait with anticipation to see our victorious escape tomorrow! ”
