This is undoubtedly good news for Mary. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At first, when she walked into the twilight castle, she didn't even know the bottom of the girl's own heart, but when she left here, the girl felt that her mood was very comfortable, relaxed, and happy. It's no wonder that although Yulian didn't fully agree to her request, it was normal in the girl's eyes, after all, he and he were not close people, and it was beyond the expectation that he could agree to such a request. Some of the conditions are also normal, and although the conditions are a bit harsh this time, in Mary's opinion, if they can exchange the freedom of those townspeople, then it is enough to be considered a very good deal.

However, there was one thing that made Mary wonder, and that was what Yuren had said earlier. According to him, the Blue Feather Mercenary Group had taken over the mission, but in Mary's memory, the Mercenary Group didn't seem to have made any major moves during this time. Although she is only a peripheral person, it is not her turn to do such an important task. But the transfer of personnel will always be perceived. But after so many days, there has been no personnel transfer on his side, and even the important people in the regiment are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, which makes Mary a little incomprehensible.

In her opinion, her mercenary group is now rooted in the Twilight Forest, and Lord Yulian is the lord of the Twilight Forest, and since he has given the commission, then the mercenary group should also take action. However, what puzzled Mary was that the mercenary group's actions in the past few days were completely normal, without the slightest abnormality, as if they had not taken over the task from Yulian at all.

This made the girl also wonder, but the doubts were doubts, and she didn't think too much. Because for her, this is also her own task.

Generally speaking, mercenaries will take on some tasks on their own, and when there are no tasks, they will follow the team's arrangement. This is the case with peripheral personnel like Mary and Crowk, who stay quietly in the mercenary group on weekdays, and then take on some ordinary tasks to complete by themselves, and when they complete more tasks, they will receive attention from above, and then they can participate in those important tasks in the group. At this time, they don't take on general small tasks, but who is light and heavy between this person's task and the team task mainly depends on the mercenary himself. Although the team is important, the mercenary is also honest, unless it is an important task that must be done by himself, otherwise the individual is the priority.

At first, Mary was still a little worried about what would happen if she and her team grabbed the task, but after a few days of observation, she found that the mercenary group didn't seem to have any intention of investigating this matter at all, so Mary let go of her inner baggage and began to investigate calmly.

However, during the investigation, there was a trace of uneasiness in her heart.

The task of investigating who instigated the refugees was not difficult, because the refugees were simply driven back to their original camps on the outskirts, closely surveilled, and not taken to prison (which could not hold so many people). And Mary is a mercenary, although she can't talk about any important mission to save the world from the earth, but it's still no problem to change clothes and sneak in. However, during the investigation, Mary noticed something unusual.

According to the information provided by these refugees, there were indeed some people who appeared in their team before the trouble, and everyone didn't think much about it at the time, just thinking that the other party was just ordinary refugees like themselves, but after the incident, these people disappeared. And even so, these refugees did not feel that there was anything wrong with the other party, but thought that those nobles had used despicable means to secretly arrest these people, for the simple reason that they were the ones who shouted the most fiercely and spoke to everyone before. But when the refugees returned to the camp and were surrounded by the aristocratic army, they disappeared. Therefore, some refugees think that these people have actually been secretly captured and killed by those nobles, and they even begin to wonder if there are traitors to the nobles around them, otherwise, more than a dozen people, none of them were spared, which must be abnormal.

Mary didn't care about the refugees' conspiracy theories, but when she asked them about what they looked like, she finally began to waver.

Because according to the descriptions of these refugees, there are several of them whose appearance and characteristics are very similar to the members of the Blue Feather Mercenary Group.

Of course, this may just be a coincidence, but considering that those people have not appeared in the mercenary group for a long time, such a coincidence is too unsettling.

Could it be that it was the Blue Feather Mercenary Group that instigated these refugees?

At this time, Mary finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"Hoo ........."

Back in the room, the girl lay on the bed, staring helplessly at the snow outside the window, she had just knocked on the side from the other companions, and those people had not returned until now. And for what task they went to perform, other people also don't know, which is obviously very strange, because if it is an ordinary task, at least before going out, they will at least say hello to the rest of the team, after all, mercenaries are paid to sell their lives, in case something happens, when the day comes, people do not come back, at least there are companions who will help check and collect the body. But such a silent disappearance is naturally because of the very important task that cannot be leaked.

Inciting the refugees to besiege the Twilight Forest is indeed quite an important task.

But, what puzzled Mary was, was there any benefit to the mercenary group in doing such a thing? Indeed, the lord looked kind, and there was nothing particularly scary about it. But the other party is the Knights of the End, and although the lord looks very kind, he also learned that he has his own bottom line in the previous exchange, in the face of such a character and force, how could the Blue Feather Mercenary Group do such a thing?

What exactly was the head of the regiment thinking?

"Knock knock. ”

"Please come in. ”

Hearing a knock on the door, Mary sat up and spoke, and as she responded, the door opened, and Crowk appeared in the doorway.

"Mary, you're finally back. ”

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Crowk's anxiety, Mary was also a little surprised, could it be that something was wrong?

"No, no, no, there's no problem, it's just that you've been there for the past few days, and I'm a little worried. ”

"Thanks, Crowk. ”

Hearing the other party's answer, Mary showed a hint of a smile, she is also busy these days, and it is rare to have time to relax. Seeing the girl's smiling face, Crowk blushed slightly, and then lowered his head.

"That...... Mary?"

"Huh?"

"If you have time, why don't you go out for a walk? Relax? I know there's a tavern around here, and the blue plum desserts are still good...... If you have time......"

"Of course there is no problem. ”

There are a lot of things to worry about at the moment, and when she heard Crowk's invitation, Mary's eyes lit up, and it was better to be bored in the house and worry about it was not the solution to the problem, and it was better to go out for a walk. Thinking of this, she nodded, then stood up, smiled and held out her hand to Crowk.

"So, let's go. ”

"Hmm!"

Seeing the girl's attitude, Crowk also nodded excitedly, and then took Mary's outstretched hand and left the mercenary group like this.

Obviously, in this regard, Crowk has put a lot of effort into it, and although the tavern he recommended has been open in Valhalla for a long time, it is not well known because of its remote location. However, although the business here is not very good, the decoration is very warm, at the moment the two of them sit by the window, looking at the beautiful snow outside, enjoying the steaming dessert, they can't help but be a little distracted.

"Whew......... Thank you so much, Crowk. ”

A cup of hot tea not only warms the body that is stiff due to the cold, but also makes the originally somewhat unstable heart feel much more at ease. Putting down the teacup in her hand, Mary let out a long sigh. Looking at the young man in front of her, she suddenly felt that the other party was actually quite cute.

"No, you're welcome. ”

However, compared to Mary, who was enjoying relaxation, Crowk's face was a little nervous, he blushed and lowered his head, just mechanically stuffing dessert into his mouth one by one, looking at his appearance, I am afraid that he did not even taste the taste of dessert. Hearing Mary's answer, the boy raised his head and smiled uneasily.

"You, you're tired these days, aren't you? That's why I thought...... I want you to have a good rest, Mary, you're a girl, the life of a mercenary is so hard, you have to learn to adjust. ”

"That's what Big Brother Scar taught you. ”

“.........”

In the face of Mary's inquiry, Crocker smiled helplessly, which was regarded as acquiescence.

And at this moment, Mary sighed again after laughing, if it was good for Brother Scar to be here at this time, he had been taking care of himself and Crowk since he was a child, even if there were some difficult things to say, he could say them in front of him. But it's a pity that after the previous mission with Crowk, Brother Scar returned to the headquarters of the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment, and now he can't find anyone to find him, but this time the matter is so urgent...... I don't want to think about it, at least not for now.

Mary shook her head again, apparently intending to put the matter on the back burner for the time being, but at that moment Crowk spoke.

"By the way, Mary, I have good news for you. ”

"Oh, what's the good news?"

Hearing this, Mary cheered up and asked. In the face of her inquiry, the boy finally puffed out his chest with some confidence for the first time.

"It's the people you said before, I haven't been idle these days, I helped to investigate, and guess what? They have been released by those nobles, but it seems that those people can't leave the town, and those nobles have also sent private soldiers to surround outside, hmph, I'll just say, they must know that they are arresting the wrong person, but they can't let go of their face as a nobleman, so they deliberately made such a show. ”

“............ That's right. ”

Mary didn't feel excited or excited to hear the news, after all, she already knew the news, but it was clear that Crowk didn't know this.

"So I said, the nobles don't have any good things, they want to save face, they have a bad stomach, Mary, you didn't go to that damn guy, I said it a long time ago, there is a way if you don't look for him. Now you see, even if you don't have to look for that kind of person, aren't these nobles letting people out?"

“......... yes........."

Hearing this, Mary's brows couldn't help frowning, no matter what, for now, Yulian can be regarded as his benefactor, and now, Crowk not only did not notice this, but also resented and scolded here repeatedly, if it wasn't for the fact that he had taken over the task of the lord to keep it secret, Mary really wanted to tell about it.

But she also knew very well that even if she said it, Crowk wouldn't listen.

Why is he so stubborn?

Thinking of this, Mary suddenly felt that her previous good mood was gone, especially looking at Crowk, who was still belittling those nobles in front of her, she didn't even know what to say. But when Mary noticed it, she realized that she had already stood up.

"Mary?"

Seeing the girl's movements, Crowk was also stunned.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry, Crowk, I'm a little unwell and want to go back and rest. ”

With that, Mary turned and left the tavern, leaving Crowk alone, staring blankly at her back.

As for Crowk, he had no idea that things would go in this direction. When he saw that Mary was a little tired, he had already made a plan, hoping to let her have a good rest, so he took great pains to find the shop in front of him, and also inquired about Mary's preferences early, and asked the store to make these desserts. At first, it went smoothly, but he didn't expect that on the way, he didn't know what went wrong, so that the girl left suddenly.

Is it really too tired? Or is it not feeling well?

Crocker didn't think he was wrong at all, because he felt that what he said was right, and he had been saying these things all the time, and Mary had never been angry about it, and it must have been the same this time, so when he thought about it, I am afraid that the girl was really unwell.

Still, that's fine.

Thinking of this, Claugh also sighed, he has always liked Mary, hoping to confess to her, but he has never dared to say it, and now this is a good opportunity, if Mary is sick, then let yourself take care of her, in this way, presumably Mary will understand her own mind.

Thinking of this, the mood that had been a little uneasy during the day was relaxed again, and after inquiring that Mary had not yet eaten dinner, Crowk immediately went to prepare a dinner for her, and then came to Mary's door with a nervous mood, and then he took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door.

"Mary, are you there?"

“............”

No one answered.

"Mary?"

Crowk was a little puzzled, logically speaking, Mary was not in good health, she should have rested in the room, could it be that she was not in the room at the moment? Or was something wrong?

Thinking of this, Crocker no longer hesitated, he immediately pushed open the door and approached the room.

"Mary?"

Empty.

There was no sign of the girl in the room, not even her weapon, so it was clear that the girl had indeed gone out.

"What's going on?"

Crocker stared blankly, not knowing what was happening. If he had said in peace, he might have thought that Mary had gone on a mission, but now it was impossible, and Mary was sick, so how could she have done it?

"What's wrong? Crowk?"

At this moment, another mercenary walked by, looked at the young man's stupid face, and couldn't help but ask funny.

"Ahh ”

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Crowk reacted.

"By the way, I'm looking for Mary, do you know where she went?"

"Mary?"

Hearing the inquiry, the mercenary was a little puzzled, and then laughed.

"I saw her, I just saw her go out just now, I'm afraid it's just a blink of an eye, you go to the door and take a look, maybe you can see her. ”

"Thank you!"

Hearing this, Crowk was also secretly happy in his heart, and after saying thank you, he quickly rushed out, and complained secretly in his heart while rushing at him, this Mary is obviously not feeling well, why do you want to go out?

Found out!

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped out of the mercenary group's door, Crocker saw Mary's figure turn the corner and disappear into the dark street, which made him relax for a moment, and then hurriedly ran forward again.

Originally, Crowk had planned to find Mary and bring her back, but he soon realized that something seemed to be wrong.

At this moment, Mary did not look at all like she was in normal life, nor did she look out to buy something, on the contrary, she always chose some paths, and looked around from time to time, as if she was afraid of being noticed. This made the young man can't help but have a little question in his heart, what is she going to do?

With this question, Crowk did not stop Mary, on the contrary, he hung far behind the other party, following the girl. Although Mary is also very skilled in this regard, after all, the two have been together for a long time and are familiar with each other, so it is not difficult for Crowk to avoid Mary's observation. Soon, he followed Mary up the hill, and then, looking at the black building in the distance, Crowk couldn't help but stop.

He knew exactly what it was, because he had never liked it.

It was where the Twilight Castle was located, and there was nothing but the castle on the mountain path.

So, what did Mary go there for?

Could it be said?

Thinking of this, Crowk couldn't help but be stunned, and he immediately remembered what Mary had said before.

Could it be that she really went to find that evil, vile and shameless nobleman?

Thinking of this, Crocker finally couldn't hold back anymore and followed.
