Zhao Qiqi and I glanced at each other, and suddenly remembered the scene where those aunts were snatching bread just now.

No wonder!

Looking at the kneeling thief again, "But what does this have to do with Mary being a good lord?" ”

When the thief saw that I didn't care, he dared not speak angrily, he muttered a few words before he continued: "When the countess heard about this, she ordered the guards of the nearby towns to be dispatched, and in order to protect those innocent girls, she also built a girls' school not far from the castle, where both commoners and nobles could enter the school for education, and promised to ensure their safety. Since then, there have been far fewer reports of girls going missing. But in the nearby wasteland, abandoned girls' bodies are often found, and I suspect that these things are the work of demons......"

After he finished speaking, I didn't look at him, but turned my eyes to look at Situ Cao on the side.

Receiving my gaze, Situ Cao nodded.

That's when I believed what the thief said.

In fact, just now, the reason why Situ Cao was asked to probe the thief's pulse was because she also had some research on polygraphs.

With the speed of his pulse, Situ Cao could tell if what the thief said to us was true.

Zhao Qiqi was silent for a moment before looking at the thief again: "Having said so much, you haven't told us how to get to the castle where Mary is." ”

When the thief heard this, he immediately showed a shocked look: "The commoner wants to go to the castle? That's absolutely impossible! ”

"Why?" I was a little puzzled and unconsciously raised my voice.

He looked at the sky with a reverent expression, and his eyes were full of yearning: "The castle of the Countess is located at the top of the Carpathian Mountains a few kilometers away from the town, not to mention that there are countless guards guarding it, even if it is the castle gate that is nearly twenty meters high, it is impossible for you to climb into it. ”

"Isn't there any way?" As I spoke, my eyes looked at Du Deming.

Du Deming understood, and immediately increased the strength of pinching the thief's shoulder blades.

The thief screamed, but finally relented.

"I say, I say!" He shouted and begged for mercy.

Du Deming immediately reduced his strength.

"In normal times, outsiders wouldn't be able to enter anyway. But for now, there should still be a way. The thief gave me a weak look.

"Hurry up!" Impatiently, I took out my dagger and gestured it in his face.

"Well, at noon today, the cousin of the Countess, Count Tourso, will come to the town of Winco Tavern to stay secret, and it is said that he will be invited to visit the castle tomorrow, and I have just received the gossip, you ......" At this point, even if the thief does not continue, I understand what he means.

Don't say anything more at the moment, let Du Deming knock the thief unconscious and tie him up in the alley.

The few of us began to discuss how to approach the Count of Turso, who was about to enter the town.

After asking Zhang Qiang, who was the fastest, to look around, he learned that the Wen Ke Tavern was less than two hundred meters away from us.

After the six of them discussed, they decided to follow Zhao Qiqi's method and enter the tavern before Count Turso arrived.

Zhang Qiang and Zhao Qiqi and I walked in front, and Wang Yi and Du Deming escorted Situ Cao behind.

The six of us swaggered like this, and walked straight to the Winco Tavern.

In a minute or two, we were at the door of the tavern.

A teenage guy stopped us at the door.

"Eh, what about you, it's not open here today, hurry up!" The young man looked impatient and drove us out.

I sneered and glanced up at the young man, who for some reason was actually stopped on the spot.

At that time, I didn't know that this was a special effect after improving my mental power.

I patted the young man on the shoulder, leaned over to him and whispered, "Do you know who we are?" ”

The young man looked at me stunned and shook his head.

I smiled and continued, "At noon, you're going to have a big guy here!" ”

"How do you know?" The young man looked at me in disbelief, but his expression was not as disgusted as it had been at first.

"We are close associates of the Countess, and when she learned that the Count of Turso would be here, she specially ordered us to come and take care of it in advance." I looked meaningfully at the young man, whose face was already a little ugly, and an indistinct smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"I see, please come in, please come in!" When the young man heard this, he hurriedly let the six of us into the tavern.

The young man was about to call the boss out, but I grabbed him.

"The countess wants to surprise the Count of Turso, so I think it's better not to let anyone else know about the arrival of a few of us." I squinted, and there was a little coercion in my eyes.

"I—I know." The young man was a little stuttering when I saw it.

Du Deming glanced at me and turned his head to look at the young man with an earthy face: "Which room will Count Turso stay in, you take us over first." ”

"Okay, okay."

In this way, the six of us, led by the young helper of the tavern, managed to enter the only room on the third floor where the Count of Turso was about to stay.

After the young helper took us to the room, we were about to go out, but we were suddenly stopped by Situ Cao.

"Little brother, it's hard work, this is your hard work." She smiled and put a few coins into the young man's hand.

The young man was overjoyed to take the money and went out.

After making sure that he had gone downstairs, Wang Yi looked at Situ Cao in confusion: "Is it really okay to let him go like this?" Aren't you afraid that he will leak the news? ”

After Situ Cao listened, he smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, Qiqi has already reminded him just now, so I specially gave him the coin when he left, in fact, since that time, he has been tricked by me." ”

"Gu? Why didn't I find out? Zhang Qiang looked at Situ Cao with a look of astonishment.

"If you find out, it's over." I gave him a blank look.

Situ Cao looked at the few of us gently: "I gave him a Response Gu, I can sense everything he says immediately, in addition to placing a Sleeping Gu on him, he should fall into a deep sleep after about five minutes, so you don't have to worry." ”

"Is Gu worm so easy to use? Isn't that the freedom to do whatever you want? When I heard this, I suddenly felt a little envious.

Situ Cao smiled, but shook his head: "So far, all my ability can control is these two Gu worms, so ...... It's not as powerful as you might think. ”

"That's pretty good." I smiled at her with some embarrassment.

While we were talking, Du Deming was carefully examining the room.

After confirming that there was no problem, he looked at Zhao Qiqi: "What should I do now?" ”

"You go out with Wang Yi to confirm whether there are really no other guests on the upper and lower floors of the tavern." Zhao Qiqi thought about it and looked at Du Deming.

Immediately, she looked at Zhang Qiang and me again: "Gao Wei, you and Zhang Qiang hid under the bed for a while, waiting for the arrival of Count Tourso and them." ”

"Sister Situ, you first set up Gu worms near the room, so that you can warn of emergencies at any time." After Zhao Qiqi finished speaking to Situ Cao, he looked at Zhang Qiang again: "By the way, Xiaoqiang, you can help me open the door of the opposite room first." ”

In this way, after everyone finished assigning the task, Zhang Qiang opened the door of the opposite room for Zhao Qiqi.
