Chapter 65: Kailin is captured

"Sister Sissi, Brother Mike, people were deceived, they really don't do other people's business~~~"

Mike manages to soothe the frightened Cecilia and takes her with him to interrogate the criminal, but unexpectedly meets an acquaintance. This Kailin, although Mike is not very familiar with her, Cecilia has been playing with her for ten years, and it is definitely a handkerchief. Although the two had less contact with each other for some reason in the first half of the year after leaving home, due to Kailin's busy patrols or some other reason, Cecilia still regarded her as her best friend.

"Kailin, how could it be you?!Could it be that kidnapper, is it really Brad......" Cecilia could hardly believe that Brad would do such a thing.

"Yes, it's him, he did it! I was deceived by him...... You let go of others first, they must be honest. Kailin's face was full of remorse and tears. After being untied by Mike and drinking a few sips of hot water, he began to explain the truth one by one.

After Brad escorts the caravan back to Darmshal, he discovers that his beloved girlfriend has changed his mind, so he goes into a rage to settle accounts with Cecilia's family, and Kaylin and her brother make great efforts to stop him.

The next day, Brad approached Kaylin and apologized to her for yesterday's incident, saying that he had lost his mind in the excitement and had not spoken or acted without going through his brain. Kaylin felt that it was understandable that she had been hit suddenly and that she was emotionally out of control, so she believed him and comforted him. Brad took the opportunity to offer that he wanted to see Cecilia one last time, if not to win back her heart, at least to know why this was happening. Seeing Brad's pained and sincere expression, Kailin relented and agreed to follow him to Cecilia.

So, according to speculation, the two came to Centia, and while doing mercenary missions to earn money and accumulate points to increase their level, they also inquired about Cecilia's whereabouts. During this period, Brad has been performing very well, like a decent gentleman, and Kailin has gradually put her mind at ease.

Some time ago, Brad determined Cecilia's location through mage prophecy and other methods, and immediately came to her, saying that he wanted to see her no matter what. Karin didn't think anything was wrong and came with him. They were accompanied by Layla and Pandia, both of whom they had met during their mission at Centia. Layla is very strong, but not particularly mentally normal, and Pantia has only recently died of her father, and her mental state is not very good.

When Brad asked Pandia to stay at the forward camp, Kailin felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, he offered to sneak in to Cecilia at night.

Kailin objected at the time, saying that if she wanted to see it, she would see it in the open. But Brad quibbled that Mike must be there then, and Cecilia wouldn't tell the truth. Given that Brad had been doing well since he was out, Kaylin believed him.

I didn't expect that Brad would be kidnapped if he couldn't be abducted! Kailin saw that the two of them were chased out, and when Brad was still carrying someone on his shoulder, she felt that something was not right, and she didn't dare to shoot the arrow when she was shooting. Fortunately, otherwise she would have inadvertently become an accomplice......

"Seeing that Sister Sissi was fine, I let go of my heart. People have done something wrong under the hoodwin, can you forgive them~~~" Kailin hugged Cecilia and shook it.

"When I saw the kidnapper, I thought he was very similar to Brad, but I didn't think he should be such a person, I didn't think it was really him......" Cecilia was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, knowing people and knowing faces.

"Have you been instructed by anyone?" Mike felt that it was not that simple. Recently, there have been traces of adventurers near the camp, and a goblin team has been attacked, but no one has been caught, so they can only be put on guard.

"Probably not. It's true that we've been on a mission, but it seems like we shouldn't have it this time. Maybe Brad had some mission, but he didn't tell me, and Layla probably knew. I just ran after Brad, and now that I think about it, what a fool I am......" Kaylin wiped tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Kaylin, don't be sad, fortunately you found it early, and you weren't cheated out of anything by Brad. Cecilia comforted her sisters.

"I, I've been cheated out of the most precious thing by him......" Kailin cried. She was referring to her own heart, and as for the other most precious thing, she had always wanted to be deceived.

"Kailin......" Cecilia hugged her friend, and couldn't help crying, she was so risky that she was deceived by Brad, "Is he really so, so human-faced and beast-hearted?"

"Hmm......" Kaylin nodded with a cry.

Mike felt a little embarrassed when he saw the two girls hugging and crying, and he couldn't go over to comfort them. So he called Audrey to make sure sure that Brad and Panthia were the Brad and Pandia he knew.

The art girl Audrey drew a charcoal sketch of the two of them from memory after a short time, and there were seven or eight points like Mike's memory.

"Yes, that's them. Kaylin cried in confirmation. Cecilia nodded her head as well.

"I didn't think it was really him. We also investigated the Ghost Woman incident together in Hope Village, and I thought he was a good guy at the time, and I helped him determine the Warlock bloodline. Now that I think about it, maybe Pastor Richard was the one who killed him. At that time, Kenael, and Pantia rode through the tower to the second floor, with Pastor Richard and Brad and others guarding the first floor. As a result, we were attacked by the Green Ghost Druid, and they were attacked by the Demon Woman and the Ogre. By the time I got rid of the Green Ghost Woman and the Demon Witch who rushed up to the rescue, Brad was the only one left in the basement. It is likely that he tried to escape from below, causing the reverend Richard to be killed in the back. Mike recalls the adventure.

Kailin cried and nodded. She had heard Brad and Pandia talk about it, and it was basically the same as what Mike said, except for one difference, Brad said that he was desperately trying to resist the ogre, but he was kicked down because of his lack of strength, not only was he kicked his ribs but also broke his arm when he landed, and if the rescue was half a minute late, he probably wouldn't have been able to come back.

"Sister Kailin, don't be sad. Well, let's stay here for now, and when your brother comes, we'll talk to him about what to do." ”

"Why is my brother here?" said Kaleen, so shocked that tears flowed from her eyes.

"Sent by Viscount Talungard, it's been more than a month, and I'm running the sea, and now it's mostly in Sentia. Little Baker is here too, and there must be some other people you know. ”

"Then I'll wait for him...... I wrote to Panthia first, telling her not to worry and to be careful of Brad. ”

Kaelin writes a letter, then bribes a seabird with a small fish to bring it to Pantya, who remains in the forward camp. Kailin has now learned a few Ranger Arts, including the Animal Courier, which allows critters to carry letters for them.

The letter reads:

Pandia, I'm Kailin, I'm with Sister Sissi, I'm doing well, don't worry about me, I'll be back to Sentia or Darmshal in a while. Please tell Brad that Sister Sissi thinks he is dangerous and tells him not to come again.

Cecilia was nearby, and thought that Karin's letter was well written, short and clear, and signed by her own name.

A few days later, Kaylin meets with Kelly and Little Baker and begs everyone not to expose her lies.

"Something has happened, and you don't know repentance yet. ”

"Brad won't do anything to Sissi again......"

"Alas, I'm afraid of you. Hurry up and fix it, or ......"

"People know. ”

Kelly had planned to let Kaylin return to Darmshal, but Kaylin said that the road was too unsafe, and that she should either run with the fleet or stay with Cecilia to learn magic from Sermena. Kelly felt that he was not familiar enough with the running business, and was afraid of danger, so he asked her to stay here for a while.

Ranger and Druid are similar, and Kaylin does have a lot to ask Sermena. Although she can learn in Sentia, it all costs money and points, and now that there are free teachers, why spend all that unjust money.

Besides, the standard of living here is also very satisfying for Kailin. Despite the fact that they were just a small place, they had everything they needed, they ate either fish or meat every day, and they could command several goblin servants, which was much better than her life in Darmshal and Centia. Kailin couldn't help but be overjoyed. The only drawback is that there are too few people, you can count them on ten fingers, and you have to do this and that one by one, only she and Cecilia are more idle.

Kailin even considered simply following Mike, but Kennar made her retreat. It was a strong opponent that even Cecilia could overpower, and Kailin felt that she had a better chance of winning against Brad.

Pantya, who was waiting for news in the advance camp, received a letter from Kailin and knew that the operation had failed, and Kailin was captured by mistake, but was unharmed because Cecilia interceded. She anxiously waits for Brad and Layla to return, and Kailin says that Brad is dangerous, indicating that if Brad is caught, Cecilia will not be useful no matter how much she pleads.

It was another four days before Brad and Layla returned to the advance camp. Layla was broken with a pair of ribs, and her movement was a little inconvenient, and the vigilance of Sanzang Town was also significantly strengthened, and it was impossible to even rescue Kailin, so the two had to go back to heal their injuries first and then think about it in the long run.

"The opponent's strength is too strong, and it is indeed very dangerous to continue to rescue. Thankfully, both of them were okay, giving us time to find more strength. Layla sighed, thinking that she would be caught, but she didn't expect that the rescuer cooperated too poorly, and the other party had at least two masters. If you knew this, you should have caught the mage first.

Layla, like Brad, concludes that Cecilia was enslaved, but she believes that this is a gratitious coercion, which is abominable but not deadly. Layla is not a murderer, and when she was about to save people, she took the mage and handed it over to the church for trial. According to his crimes, it is estimated that he will be imprisoned for three or five years, and if the enslaved person intercedes, he will even be fined. Although this is troublesome and the sentence is light, the doctrine is like that, and everything is based on facts and laws, not personal likes and dislikes.

"But...... Where can I find more strength?" Brad wanted to try again, but pressed the idea anyway.

"Someone is investigating this place, suspecting that they are a secret den of pirates, and the results should be coming out soon, and if the evidence is conclusive, there must be many righteous people coming to crusade against it. ”

"Let's take a look. Brad felt that this rumor was not credible, this place was too remote, and it was difficult for pirates to rob here. But what is very strange is that this kind of rumor did spread, and he didn't know why, anyway, let's go back and take a look, there are not enough people and it has already startled the snake, and the rescue is indeed too difficult.

Layla doesn't believe the rumors either, and she's ready to see if there's any evidence.
