"I made it, I made it! I'm leaving this goddamn guild! ”

The thrill of stealing is complete, and the thrill of this act gives Margaux a sense of refreshment.

Now she just wants to leave the Mermaid Song as soon as possible, or even leave this Pelican Town as soon as possible!

If she was caught by these people at this time, she couldn't guarantee what kind of fate she would meet!

Bolted!

She had forgotten the last time she had run so far with her legs spread out like that, but when she ran out of breath and couldn't help but slow down, the girl turned her head and saw that Pelican Town was now behind her. As for the building of the Mermaid Song Guild, it is completely invisible.

"Whew...... Finally, escape! Hum! Stinky beauty, pretending to be forced, do you think you are amazing? It's not like I'm getting out yet, even your most smelly staff of light is in my hands, and I want to know your expression tomorrow morning! Hahaha! It must be hilarious! ”

With a sigh of relief, Margaux straightened up with his staff.

It was only now that she was able to get a closer look at the staff.

If you want to say plain, it's not too simple.

She had seen that high priest before, and no matter how she said that the weapons of the high priest of the Bright Sect could not be like the type that could be bought casually in a weapons store on the street.

But how luxurious it is, this staff, which is not very well maintained, looks a little ugly and rough. Even one of the corners of the staff's head decoration had fallen off a small piece of it somewhere, and it was clear that its former owner didn't care much about what it looked like.

"Hmm...... Will this thing sell for much money? It looks very old......"

Margaux began to be a little skeptical.

But on second thought, even if it really doesn't sell for much, at least it can be used to support your own journey.

Turning her head, she looked at where she was. After confirming it, she nodded and walked along the established path.

Although she escaped after stealing this time, it doesn't mean that the girl didn't have any plans at all.

In the middle of the night, she didn't believe she could run far out of thin air. If you don't rest all night, you will be very weak the next day. When the time comes, the people of Mermaid Song will find out that the staff has been stolen and run down the road to track them, and they will definitely be caught in a minute.

So after leaving Pelican Town, she knew she had to find a place to rest right away.

This place is not difficult to find, and to the south of this town, on that little steppe plateau, does not there stand a castle?

I heard that this castle was bought by a certain viscount and used as a base, and it seems that it is still under renovation. In that case, just go to this castle and find a place to stay for the night, get some sleep, and wait until tomorrow morning to get up and leave immediately. In this way, you will have the spirit to wander on the road and the people of the mermaid's song. As long as you wait until you get to Lagoon City, you can sell this staff, and the mermaid song will never find yourself again!

As soon as she thought of it, Margaux took her staff, and walked along the dirt road under her feet.

As the uphill road gets gentler and gentle, it also deepens with the night. A gust of wind blew, and the rustling of the lawn was like the whisper of some kind of monster hidden in the night, urging the girl step by step, to the castle that was shrouded in darkness......

She raised her hand, and the light emanating from her palm was like a searchlight.

It was almost past midnight......

A castle that no one had visited for a long time finally appeared in front of the girl.

"Hoo ......"

Margaux looked up and raised her hand to see what the castle looked like.

It's a pity that she is now trying her best to suppress the light in her palm to prevent it from being discovered by the people on the Pelican Town side, so most of the castle is still shrouded in darkness and cannot be seen.

But it didn't matter, she plucked up her courage and tightened the package behind her back a little, and at the same time raised the staff in her hand, holding it in front of her like a stick, and the other hand glowed, and cautiously entered the castle.

Click...... Click...... Click......

The sound of soft footsteps echoed back and forth between the stone walls and the stone walls.

Margaux shrunk her neck, brace her spirits, gritted her teeth and explored ahead.

As you may have known, the castle is now under renovation, with scaffolding of all kinds, paint buckets and building materials stacked in the walkways.

Where the light of the palm shone brightly, the heavy dust drifted through the air, slowly dispersing with Margaux's forward steps.

But the more she walked, Margaux suddenly noticed something.

Over here...... Why does it look like no one has been here for so long?

Why is there so much dust on those scaffolding, on those paint buckets, on those building materials?

Why did everything look like it was ready and ready to be renovated, but halfway through the renovations, all the people were evacuated and never came again?

The castle ...... Did something happen?

Whoosh——!

Suddenly, something flashed in the afterglow of the palm! Margaux was startled by this sudden movement, and quickly turned his palm to shine in the direction of the thing!

There was only a "squeak", and a small shadow passed through Margaux's sight again, and flashed into a nearby room with an open door.

"Hooktooth rats...... Scared the hell out of me. What disgusting little guys. ”

Seeing these little monsters, Margaux felt as if she was a little overly nervous.

She tried to probe into the room, but as soon as the light of her palm shone, the three hook-toothed rats in the corner immediately made a "squeak" sound and fled in all directions, and in the blink of an eye she didn't know which dark corner to hide.

Margaux's face couldn't help but turn a little blue.

Even if she wanted to spend a night in the castle, she wasn't ready to spend the night with the hooktooth rats.

If nothing else, what if these hook-toothed rats crawl up and bite down on their faces while they sleep? If there is no problem, I will have to rely on this face for the next ten years!

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy Margaux became.

But she was a little unwilling to turn away now, and in desperation, she could only walk slowly towards the top of the castle, trying to find a room that looked cleaner.

And then......

A stone door appeared in front of her.

Looking at this tightly sealed stone door, Margaux's face was still quite vigilant.

But looking at this stone door, it seems that it hasn't been opened for a long time, and those hook-toothed rats shouldn't be able to get in, right?

But it's hard to say, maybe it's already in a dilapidated state, and it's also like a hook-toothed rat crawling around?

With trepidation, Margaux lifted her foot and gently kicked at the stone door.

Squeak –

The stone door, light as papier-mâché, slowly opened.

The next thing that caught Margaux's eye was a room with a sophisticated decoration and a bit of aristocratic atmosphere, which looked very luxurious.

Looking at this room with warm candles, beautiful hanging decorations, beautiful screens, luxurious fireplace and soft large bed, Margaux was a little stunned for a while.

She was so immersed in what looked like someone had just cleaned it during the day, so much so that when she came back to her senses, she realized that the stone door was closed.

"Strange, did I close the door?"

Margaux hesitated, but soon, she decided to leave the matter alone.

Bypassing the screen, Margaux placed her parcel on the bedside table next to her, and jumped onto the bed with her staff in her arms.

The soft and bouncy bed made her feel relaxed all at once! After all, the bed I slept on in the song of the mermaid during this time was not so soft, and now lying here, I have a feeling of being completely trapped in the sheets and wrapped in soft velvet~~~!

"Alas~~~ It seems that the owner of this castle comes here for one night from time to time, right? That's why the servants cleaned the room so clean, for the owner who could come here at any time and at any time. ”

Lying on the bed, Margaux began to use her brain-

"If I woke up to-morrow and saw the owner of this castle, a man who was supposed to be rich and powerful, see me...... Wouldn't that be great? I can also avoid being displaced, and I can trap the owner of this castle first. ”

"As for the reason...... Well, let's just say that I am a lost nun who came down to this castle in a panic and fell asleep here without knowing it. As long as you pretend to be pitiful, I believe that no man can escape the palm of my hand! ”

"Well, that's it! Now, sleep! ”

After finishing the draft, Margaux finally put her mind at ease, closed her eyes triumphantly, and prepared to meet the stupid man who didn't know which one it was tomorrow morning.

As for the staff in her hand, she should hug it, and if the owner of this castle can't help it when he sees his sleeping position, then he must also move the staff away. In this way, he can also wake up and adapt to the situation, so as not to let the man take advantage of him before he gets any benefits in the chaos.

The more she thought about it, the more Margaux felt that her plan was foolproof.

It was this foolproof that brought that smile to the corners of her mouth, and gradually, she fell asleep......
