60. The most dangerous place
The city-wide search didn't actually develop to such a point at first, because when Price's research had just come to fruition, and he was showing off everywhere like crazy, the witches who learned about the situation and judged that his research was very "dangerous" just wanted to ask him to "drink tea", and by the way, terminate the research or change the direction of the research.
Talent is a scarce resource no matter where it is, and no one is willing to easily extinguish his enthusiasm for a guy who can make extraordinary contributions as a non-magician. However, the deterioration of things also appeared at this point.
I don't know if the person in charge of delivering the news didn't make it clear or had a bad attitude, or because Price himself was too stubborn about his research. Faced with the magician who planned to "invite" him to go, he did not choose to cooperate or choose to take a detour, but used his new research results to "tidy" the other party down. And this move, which seemed to him to be self-preservation, really confirmed the worst plan of the witches' research on him.
Any complete layman can follow this wordless book and become a crappy magician in an instant. But even if he was lame, he became dangerous. Originally, this book was already a blasphemy against the magicians who had worked hard, and now ...... It also looks like it's going to be labeled as easy to "help and pinch".
When the pros outweigh the disadvantages, the witches who need to consider more will naturally no longer show mercy. If sacrificing one person can keep more people safe, then there is no doubt that those in power will do it immediately. Fortunately, because of the old king's busyness these days. The witches have not joined forces with the ordinary knights to search for the traces of Price, who is hiding. Just let the magic envoys under his command keep an eye on the people who may appear.
Even so. It's tough enough. After all, the problem of three meals a day needs to be solved, and if there is no one to help, you can only take the risk to the streets. And as a mere assistant, Price's interpersonal relationships with the surrounding area have long been investigated. In other words, Green's side could no longer have contact with Price, and her assistant would really be gone if they met casually.
"So, what can I do?"
After listening to Goni's whispered narration, Alice sorted out her thoughts. At present, it seems that Green should still be running around looking for a helper who will not spread the word even if he refuses, and it should be because of this incident that she appeared at Teacher Oz before. And these classmates in front of me. It's the kind of people who have already boarded the thief ship, and most of them are planning to cover Price's escape. Of course, if this is said, it proves that Price is actually still hiding somewhere in the city.
"Hmm...... It should be said that what do you guys think. Alice replied, "Although the knights are not helping in the search now, it is almost impossible to send a large living person out of the eyes of others. ”
Here, no more than a small town, the inventory can be said to be the strictest, maybe there will be some secret passages underground, but don't think about it, it is definitely not a place that can be easily passed. Moreover. It's not ordinary people who are searching for Price, but the magicians. Once things get involved with magic, they can get weird and troublesome.
"There is a solution, albeit only on the fly. ”
Miradoro gestured to Princess Corin with her eyes, and watched this little girl, who was a little timid, but very brave, plucked up her courage little by little.
"In a few days it will be my 10th birthday. Well, there will definitely be a lot of people coming at that time. If you want to act, it will be a good opportunity. ”
On the tenth birthday of the princess, you don't have to think about it to know that there will be a lot of guests, and the nature conservation work must also keep up, which is equivalent to invisibly reducing the pressure of the day.
"Besides, I'll ask my father to invite a few witches over, and just say that I want to learn from them. ”
I see, can we use some means to let the most threatening witches stay in a specific place, so that it is convenient to secretly cross Chen Cang? Obviously, he is just a child who is about to be ten years old, but he didn't expect to think so carefully.
"There's another hope that can't be expected. Goni took over the words of the red-faced Collin, "It seems that Green's actions have been monitored now, but when she finally came to see us, she also said that she would improvise. Of course...... You can't just look forward to it. ”
"So, where is he now?"
Alice pouted, although everyone thought of a good method, but ...... It seems that there is still one of the most important links missing, "Don't tell me that no one has been found, you plan to help him pave the way back." ”
“......”
Looking at the classmates who suddenly fell silent, Alice didn't have the time to care about the kind of thing that her words just now had messed up the atmosphere. Price is still in the city, it can be determined, but it is not clear where. Asking Green might give you some clues, but it's also more likely that the overheard magicians know where he's hiding, in other words, Green's side can't ask for it. However, the swaggering search of the group is not only inefficient, but also suspicious to look at, and now it is not only as simple as finding him, but also escorting him out safely. Precious "human resources" cannot be wasted on searching.
The magicians who haunted the city were almost all about to turn the city over, in other words, they had already helped the carpet search in disguise, and some simple hiding places were probably not found there. He must have been hiding somewhere else, perhaps with the help of Grimm, with plenty of food to keep him alive.
But...... Is this guy Green's assistant now, the pharmacist......'s assistant? I seem to have a clue. Avoid carpet searches and worry about food sources...... Where do these two come together......
"Anyway, Princess, prepare your birthday as usual, and you are right, your birthday is the most likely time to send him out of town. While I'm sorry to make your birthday less pure, ...... At the moment, it seems that there is no other way. ”
"No, I really don't mind!"
"Then the others should follow Klin's preparations. At least that way it looks like you won't be suspected. As for the search for Price......"
Alice glanced at Miradoro. From the very beginning, her gaze was calm, which made Alice a little concerned. "I'll just go look for Miradoro and I. ”
......
Soon, only Alice and Miradoro were left in the garden, and because of Krynn's birthday, she had to prepare in advance if she decided to help Price escape on her birthday.
"Whew, the one who got in the way is finally gone. ”
After waiting for all the "irrelevant people" to leave one after another, Miradoro also seemed to be a different person, and her momentum was very fierce. Really. The matter of sneaking out to find the orcs with Perry after scolding everyone before, it is impossible to forget it so easily on Miradoro's side.
"What did you do when you've been out with Perry for so long?"
"This ......"
No, this kind of thing is top secret, at least you can't talk to Miradoro, and if you smile and answer something like "it's actually a honeymoon" as you seem, it's going to be even more endless in the next moment.
Call...... I really want to tell Miradoro what type of opposite sex Perry likes and ...... It seems that she still needs to make changes. But Miradoro, who ******** pounced on Perry, wouldn't have listened at all.
"Go find someone. ”
Rubbing her head, Alice gave the most compromise solution, "Let's ...... better than these"
"So what is this?"
Miradorolu said, opening her clenched fist. There...... Lying on the ground was the seal that Perry had given Alice earlier. Because I've been busy since I got back to the city. So Perry didn't take the seal back either, and just left it on Alice's body, but why now......
"I quietly picked it up when you sat down and it fell to the ground. ”
Miradoro's voice made Alice feel a burst of hair, "I know a little bit about this place, this should be Perry's seal, why is it on you?"
"This ...... This is because ......"
Why is it good? Perry left himself to disguise himself as a "princess" to facilitate his actions? If he said so, he would really be doomed.
"I'm going to pass. ”
"So he gave it to you?"
“......”
It's not good, it looks like I fell straight into a trap. Ahh......h
"Mira, are you taking care of things a little too much?"
At Miradoro's gaze, Alice was too lazy to deal with it this time, and she didn't want to deal with this guy who only knew how to be jealous all day long.
"I know what you're thinking, I say that Perry and I are nothing, that we just have important things to do, very important things...... At least, I can't tell you yet. ”
"You ......"
"If you like it, just say it, even if you complain to me here and make me compromise, it won't help. After all, why don't you think carefully about why he only treats you as a classmate and a friend?
And...... Moreover, I really don't have any careful thoughts about Perry. I didn't have much before, and it wasn't even more likely after Mr. Oz said those doubts about his memory. If you can, you want to study hard and socialize with people like an ordinary girl, but ......
The memory that suddenly came to his consciousness at noon that day, and was briefly sealed, really did not allow him to do so. No one would use a powerful magic to bring their consciousness back to their former self for no reason, and now it is up to them to figure out why they are back, why they are desperate to find the rabbit and the cat, and ...... Figure out what the deepest, most important memories are buried.
I always feel that my existence is too illusory, and when I see Perry and them, I am always vaguely sad and sad. This must not be a delusion, maybe...... It's something that's left in my memory.
Alice...... Don't you think ......"
"I didn't think that since Princess Mira is so energetic, then I don't need your help, how about you go and cry to Perry now?"
Distraught, Alice shook off Miradoro's hand and strode out of Perry's garden. As for what kind of feelings Miradoro came from behind her, Alice didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Memories can't be recovered in an instant, they can only be done one by one, and the important thing at the moment is to find Price and escort him out safely on Princess Klein's birthday later.
I always feel a little unhappy, is this also part of the memory?
Searching for them safe and sound, and having plenty of food and rest, was almost non-existent, in other words, there was no point in concentrating on where Price would be hiding. Price, who can research results that make witches jealous, is definitely not a stupid person, and Green, who is determined to help Price leave, is also a smart girl, although Green is now under surveillance, but it cannot be concluded that she did not provide Price with any help.
Green is a potion researcher, so it's not surprising if he comes up with something shocking. Perhaps, her help to Price...... In other words, Price wasn't "hiding" somewhere, but maybe he had "tricked" the magicians. It's just a one-sided relationship, and he has no reason to believe that these "friends" of Green, maybe he already had a way to escape from the beginning, and it's just a small expectation for this side.
There is a saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and maybe Price has always been in the most dangerous place. And this most dangerous place also symbolizes the place where the magicians pay the most attention, and now the magicians pay more attention to Grimm in addition to the carpet search.
Price is her assistant, in other words, she is also the most likely and motivated to shield Price and let him escape, and naturally, she also receives the most attention. Perhaps, it was at this point that Price and Green did something? If you think about it, Green is just being watched, at least there are no restrictions on her movements, and the magicians are expecting her to make some mistake to find clues.
Isn't the place where she stays the most dangerous? )
