Alan DiCarr's meeting with the duo was a bit peculiar, as they didn't meet in some hidden place that ordinary people couldn't notice, but in the middle of a small square in the northern city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 There is a building that resembles a stone monument, and it seems to have some kind of commemorative significance.

The two men she had seen before, who had been hiding in the shadows of the stele before Alan Dicar's arrival, had finally stepped out of the shadows when Alan Dicarr had crossed the deserted plaza and signaled the leader of the bandits to approach.

It's just that this situation makes it a little tricky for her to track down Alan DiCar. Because, even though it is late at night, the moon is in the sky, and the stone slabs on the ground are white, so that the light on the square is not too dark, and people can still see the surroundings. Therefore, no matter how strong her tracking skills are, it is impossible for her to slip through the empty square without being detected by those three people.

Eventually, she had to stop in the shadow of a house outside the small square, and even if she was the closest, she was at least thirty meters away from the three men, so that although she could hear the subtle voices of the three men, she could not hear what they were saying.

Hey, I originally thought that the leader of a certain thief group was alone, but I didn't expect him to have an accomplice?

However, the man and the woman seem to have come from the north, and they must not be Alan Dicard's men, right? Perhaps, they were sent by some big man behind the Daybreak Thieves to meet with the leader?

She stared at every move over there, guessing in her mind, and an idea crept into her mind.

Then, however, she found strangely that the relationship between the head of Alan Dikal and the man and the woman was not very harmonious, for the position where he was standing was a certain distance from the two men, and his right hand was always three feet from his waist, which was the position of the short sword he carried, and the captain seemed to be guarding against the two men, as if he were afraid that they would be against her, which made her a little puzzled.

Just as she was thinking like this, she saw that Alan Dicard seemed to take out a square box from herself, and gestured to the two from a distance, as if he was still talking about something, and then he hid the square box again, and did not mean to give it to the man and woman at once, which made her heart even more strange.

It didn't take long for a figure to appear behind her, and it was naturally the magical girl Alexie, who had already sensed the arrival of this little girl from the connection of the contract seal.

"Oh, these two people?"

Alexie also looked in the direction of the center of the square, only a few glances, as if she recognized the identities of the two men, and her tone was a little surprised.

"Little girl, do you know the identities of those two people?"

From the tone of a certain magical girl, she heard a hint of strangeness, and couldn't help but ask silently in her heart.

"Well, yes. ”

Alexie nodded, as if recalling something, and explained to her through a psychic connection: "If I'm not mistaken, the man and woman over there should be the very famous 'Paul couple', I have seen a document about these two people before!"

Mr. and Mrs. Paul?

Not...... What is this?

When she heard the words of a certain magical girl, she couldn't help but pout, feeling a little strange, and asked silently again in her heart: "Mr. and Mrs. Paul?tsk, they seem to be on our enemy side now, little girl! Tell me, what's so special about these two guys?"

You know, this guy is very interested in someone's weapons over there!

"Special?"

Alex didn't look at her, most of her attention was still on the situation on the other side of the square, she was very careful to hide her figure in the shadow corner of the building, thought about it, and said to her: "Well, in fact, I don't know much, from the information, the man named Vic Paul, that is, the man with two swords on his back, he seems to be proficient in the martial arts of two-handed swords, like Alan Dikal, he is a gold-level powerhouse, and he is very famous in the northern region of the Kingdom of Chirod. As for his wife, Lena Winkkin, oh, she should be called Lena Paul now, her strength is a little weaker, only silver level, but she has a very strong talent in firearms, very obsessed with firearms, it is said that her gun can hit every hundred shots, and she does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to order many alchemy bullets with special power, if you talk about real combat strength, she is also a difficult opponent no less than the gold level!"

Uh, a gold-level swordsman who is proficient in using two-handed swords, and a gunslinger who is good at using firearms, just as difficult as a gold-level person?

Tut...... In this way, counting the leader of a certain thief group, the other party already has three gold-level strength guys, right?

Even one Alan DiCar, you have to prepare and be careful, and now that the other party has become three people, are you sure you can get over them?

Hearing Alexie's introduction, she couldn't help but turn her head and glanced at the little girl suspiciously, and sure enough, she found that the magical girl's face was full of solemnity, and she obviously felt pressure.

"Well, okay, Alexie, can you tell me about her firearms?"

Seeing that the three people on the other side of the square seemed to be talking about something, and it would not end for a while, she spoke to Alexie again, and in her heart, it was really this kind of thing that overlapped with her original world that made her more concerned: "I have only seen guns on the vampire prince once before, since they are so powerful that they can make a silver-level person exert their gold-level strength, why don't you see others using them?"

This was the biggest doubt in her heart, you know, in a long time, she only saw someone with a firearm, it stands to reason that this powerful firearm should be more widely promoted, right?

"Others?"

Hearing her words, Alexie gave her a strange look, as if she didn't understand how she could have such an idea, but the magical girl quickly cleared up her doubts, snorted lightly, and asked her, "Of course, this kind of convenient thing is not bad, and naturally there are many people who want to fight them!"

"The price?"

She couldn't help but repeat it in confusion, quite puzzled in her heart: Why, is there any serious price to pay for using firearms?

"Yes, it's expensive! I'm sure you should know this kind of thing!"

Alexie gave her a strange look, nodded, and bit down on the pronunciation of a certain word: "Do you know the price of an ordinary bullet? Do you know the price of an alchemy bullet that has been enchanted by alchemists, or quenched with poison, and how much it costs? plus the fine quality of gunpowder, the precious metal of the gun itself that can withstand the explosion of gunpowder repeatedly...... In addition to these, if a firearms user wants to master this weapon well and be able to play a role in actual combat, he must also conduct sufficient training! Its training expenses and daily wear and tear alone are enough to make a wealthy little nobleman on the verge of bankruptcy! Xia, how many people do you think such an expensive weapon will be affordable?"

"Uh...... Is it exclusive to the rich?"

Hearing Alexie's words, she did understand a little, according to her estimates, this should be caused by the fact that this other world is not very developed in terms of manufacturing technology, so the cost of the single body of the firearm is too high?

Not...... Originally, I wanted to get one over and try it, but in this case, I guess she would have to do it!

She couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart, and soon, she put this feeling of loss aside and began to concentrate on the difficulties she was facing: "Okay, let's not talk about that, Alexie! Now, the other party has suddenly increased to three people, and all of them are as strong as Alan Dicard, have you thought of how to deal with this situation?"

"Well, things do get a little tricky. ”

Alexie's blue eyes flickered, as if she was considering a plan: "Next, there may be three possible scenarios: First, Alan Dicard has nothing to do with the Pauls, and they will soon be separated, which will not affect our previous plans. 2. Alan DiCarr is in the same camp as Mr. and Mrs. Paul, and they will join forces to escort the 'Dream Crown' and make it more difficult for us. 3. Alan DiCarr will hand over the 'Dream Crown' to the Paul couple and leave, and the targets we need to deal with will be the Paul couple instead. ”

"Oh, that's a bit of a bad situation!"

She nodded, agreeing with Alexie's analysis. Because, she came earlier, and she knew more information than this magical girl: "However, the first possibility is too small, Alexie, from the three of them talking for so long, this situation can be completely ruled out! Moreover, the third possibility is also very open, you know, I just saw Alan Dicard take out a strange square box and show it to the Paul couple, but did not give it to each other, it is very likely that the square box contains the 'Dream Crown'!" ”

As she spoke, she gestured to Alex with her eyes, and Alex also understood the meaning of her words, nodded, and the magical girl's expression became more and more solemn: "Yes, I can feel it, the 'Dream Crown' is still on Alan Dicard's body, I have already checked his room before I came here, and found that it was not left in the room, it must have been taken by him." So, we might be faced with the second scenario?"

"Well, probably...... Are the three gold-level powerhouses joining forces? Tsk, it's fun now!"

The fingers of her hands under her cloak twitched slightly, and her tone became a little eager to try.

Alexie glared at the guy with some annoyance: Doesn't this idiot realize his current situation?

It was at this moment that the situation on the other side of the square finally changed, and after whispering a few words to Mr. and Mrs. Paul, Alan DiCal soon separated from them, and walked in the direction from which he had come, towards the place where they were hiding, as if to return to the inn where they had been.

Seeing this, she and Alexie retreated to a dim alley not far behind them, and hid again until they saw Alan DiCarr and did not notice their existence, and only after he had gone away did they re-enter the house.

"It seems that it will indeed be the second possibility, Natsu!"

Alexie looked at the direction Alan Dikal had left, then turned her head to look at the square, and said to her with a slight groan: "If I am not mistaken, Alan DiCarr and Paul and his wife should reunite early tomorrow morning, leave Wendelier City together, and set off north with the Dream Crown." ”

"Oh, what is the basis for your judgment?"

Seeing that Alexie's tone was so sure, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and glanced at this little girl.

Could it be that this little girl can hear the conversation over there?

"Because I know that the big man behind the Daybreak Thieves is Duke Vlamir of the Kingdom of Chirod, and the Paul couple also happen to be the duke's right-hand men!" Alexie looked up as if he had made some big decision, looked her in the eye, and explained to her, "It is now almost certain that the person who instructed Alan Dicard to steal the 'Dream Crown' is the Duke of Vlamir! So, I can assure you that Mr. and Mrs. Paul were sent by him to escort with Alan DiCarThe one who arrives at the 'Dream Crown' in his hands!"

"And what are you going to do?"

She nodded, not wondering why a high-ranking Duke would instruct someone to steal the dream crown of the 'Witch's Hand'.

"Natsu, you should really want to fight someone powerful, right?" Alexie glanced at her, the corners of her mouth curled, as if she had thought of something interesting, and said to her, "I think the Paul couple should fit your requirements very well!"

"Oh, so you're going to deal with Alan Dicard alone, and you don't need my help?"

She could naturally hear what Alex meant, glanced at the direction in which a certain regiment leader left, and already held a delicate knife in her right hand, and asked rhetorically: "If the two of us attack at the same time, we may be able to get it before some people react!"

"Hmph, didn't I say it a long time ago?

Alexie snorted, stretched out her right hand, quickly drew a magic mark on her cloak, and said to her, "Natsu, go make a big fuss, the more eye-catching the better!

"That's right...... You can too!"

She thought for a moment, nodded, made a dazzling gesture with the knife in her hand, and put forward the terms of the transaction: "However, as a reward, the money I owed you before will be cleared, how about it?"

"Hmph, the guy who robbed while the fire was burning... Well, I promise you. ”

Seeing this guy's expression, Alexie could only reluctantly agree, nodded, and then muttered the spell.

Soon, the magical girl's body flashed with black and purple light, and the whole person disappeared in front of her.

Hey, before leaving, you have to put me together, what an unlikable little girl!

Hearing the sound of two slight footsteps on the other side of the square that suddenly turned around and walked towards her because of Alexie's magical light, she sighed softly in her heart, admiring the vengeance of this little girl.

"Tsk, at least, let me open the curtain of the battle myself!"

She turned and looked in the direction of the footsteps, the corners of her mouth curled, her two fangs exposed, and her eyes bloodshot.

"But it's okay, there are some things I don't really want you to know, little girl......"
