Chapter 374: Kidnapping the Princess
That's how things happen in the world!
Just as Kira finished speaking, an exclamation suddenly came from the "Winter Hot Spring Hotel".
"Help!!"
It was a young woman's voice, very miserable and loud, her owner should have seen something terrible, or was facing a life-and-death crisis, and the cry for help echoed throughout the hot spring inn, interrupting everyone's chat.
Kira even thought for a moment that she was on the wrong set, suspecting that it was a chapter "Murder at the Winter Hot Spring Hotel".
But apparently not!
"Huh? It's as if someone is shouting for help......"
"I heard that, too."
"Do you want to check it out?"
"When did you become so righteous and courageous, and pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?"
Before a few people could say cool words, the noisy footsteps were getting louder and closer.
Eric had the sharpest ears, and was the first to hear the movement outside: "It seems that a few magicians are catching a little girl, and they are coming this way?" β
Three seconds later, a girl with long emerald hair and a bathrobe rushed into the men's bath.
Everyone was surprised at the same time: "Eh?!! β
When she saw the scene in the bathroom, the girl's face turned red, but before she could react, a huge force broke through the door from behind her, and the girl jumped into the water with a thud despite her shyness.
At the same time, through the large mouth of the bath, three figures walked in: a sturdy old man, a brown-skinned guy, and a two-meter-tall fat man.
The fat man looked around, obviously looking for the girl who had just come in, but when he didn't see anyone, he looked puzzled, scratched his head and said to himself: "It's strange, what about people?" I just saw her enter the ...... here."
The sturdy old brother glanced down at the still rippling water surface, and coldly ordered: "Go and have a look in the water!" β
The fat man obviously couldn't understand his words, and just asked, "Huh? But this is the men's bathroom, she shouldn't be in there, right? β
Kira glanced at each other, and the same voice flashed in their hearts: It seems that this is an idiot......
"Shut up! Do as I say!! β
"Oh!"
The fat man took two steps forward after answering, and the whole hotel shook as he walked, and Kira clearly felt that the spring water of the hot spring was constantly beating under the vibration.
But the fat man stopped before entering the water, because he was in the way: "Boy, get out of the way!" β
The person who blocked the fat man was Gerald, who was in an unhappy mood at this time. In fact, he had been sitting in the water and had not moved, but the fat man was obviously too lazy to take a detour, so he walked straight over and wanted to enter the water from here, which made GΓ©rald angry.
I shouldn't have come to the hot springs today!
"Get out of here!"
From this tone, Kira knew that Gerald was already angry.
"What did you say?!" The fat man was furious when he heard this, and as soon as he raised his right foot, he stepped on Gerald's blue head.
But how could Gerald suffer? Hearing only a "bang", he disappeared from the water, appeared on the side of the fat man with a bath towel around his lower body, and then hammered him in the waist with a fist, directly smashing the big fat man out.
"Damn! You kid...... Let's go together! β
The strong old brother shouted angrily, and the three of them went together to deal with Gerald, Gerald was not afraid at all, he didn't even use magic, he only relied on physical skills to beat the other party so that he couldn't find the north, and the speed of the action was so ruthless that Kira's bystanders were taken aback.
"That's what this guy is doing today? So angry? β
Eric glanced at Kira, "What's wrong...... can be serious and do nothing has happened, worthy of being a boss! β
"What's wrong over there?" Urrutia's voice came from the reading channel.
Kira explained with great interest: "Three big men chased the girl into the men's bath, and a shirtless man stepped forward, and he didn't fall behind!" Want to see it? β
There was silence for a moment, and then he replied, "No need. β
The three guys who came out of nowhere were also magicians, but their strength definitely couldn't stand up to Geral, who was in a bad mood, and was knocked to the ground in less than a minute.
And when they fought, the previous girl had quietly floated ashore from the other side, originally preparing to escape around the back, but she didn't expect the battle to end so quickly.
She was dazed at the door, stunned as the three pursuers fell to the ground one after another, and only reacted when Gerald approached, bowing shyly in thanks: "Thank you for your help!" β
"No...... You're welcome! Gerald tilted his head, "Who are they?" Why are I chasing you? β
The girl explained, "They are killers sent by the Mercenary Guild, and someone has set their sights on my family's property, so they are sent to kidnap me......"
Three minutes later, the hotel people left with the girl and the three mercenaries, and the meeting resumed.
"That girl is lying!" Dark Night was the first to speak, and he was keenly aware of the flickering words of the girl just now, as if she was hiding something.
Sawyer continued: "The guild crest on those three people belongs to a well-known dark guild, and I have dealt with them before, and often take on some kidnapping and ransom missions. β
Gerald nodded and said, "In other words, the kidnapping should be true, at least it's not a drama of the eldest lady leaving the consortium, and it's not a farce specially staged for us to see." When this happens, it's normal for that girl to be wary of us. β
"She is the only daughter of King Fiore, the heir to the future kingdom, the heroine of our previous topic, Princess Jade!"
Kira's words surprised the rest of the people, and then their expressions became inexplicable: "Is that her?" Didn't Gerald just ...... just now?"
Several people looked at Gerald in unison, only to see him covering his head, his face full of remorse: "Don't say it!" Kira, you already knew her identity, but you deliberately didn't say it? β
Gerald just regrets it now, very much!
Kira didn't admit it, and said, "It's you who are too fast, and the brothers can't pull it!" Besides, the other party is such an important person, who knew that you didn't know it? I thought you listened to the previous words and were in a hurry to save the beauty of the hero......"
"She's a member of the royal family, it's normal if she doesn't know her, right?"
"Who said that? Eric knows, right? β
"Acquaintance!" Eric nodded, but he didn't quite agree with Kira, "I just heard it with magic, I didn't know it before!" So only Kira knew it from the start! β
Sharing the failure of the black cauldron, Kira immediately changed the topic: "In short, now that Gerald helped the Jade Princess once when she was in crisis, it can be regarded as a good impression, and it will be much easier to fall in love with her in the future!" β
Gerald really forgot to pursue Kira's black heart: "Wait!! Since 'we' saved her, it should be considered a blessing, right? Isn't it possible to be exempt from wanted on this basis? β
"It's not us! It's you! Kira corrected Gerald's words, "You're the only one who made the move, so it's likely that you're the only one to be exempted, but you're not going to do anything like leaving your companions, are you?" β
Gerald almost spewed out the words "Shut up my": "Just asked me to betray my hue, and now I know that I'm a companion?" β
"Although I heard that this princess is not very intelligent, judging by her appearance, she should have come here to soak in the hot springs. When you come out to relax, you encounter a kidnapping, and then you happen to be rescued by you, a wanted criminal, and then you take advantage of the envy and ask her to be exempted from your wanted warrant...... This kind of development, no matter how it sounds, seems to be specially arranged! β
Gerald's mouthful of old blood welled up in his heart, and he almost broke out of his internal wounds.
Seeing his aggrieved look, Eric sneered, "I want to agree with your words, but your expression is really bad, Kira!" β
"Call me boss! Let's get to the point, kidnapping the princess is not a trivial matter, even the most vicious dark guild in the wizarding world today does not dare to make a move if it does not have enough confidence. β
Kira stopped playing tricks on Gerald, turned her head and asked Eric, "In addition to the identity of the Emerald Princess, did you hear the purpose of the three kidnappers?" β
This is not the daughter of a certain railway consortium, but a real princess of the kingdom, the heir to the king! To do it is to make an enemy of the kingdom, and it is considered a national war! How dare a mere dark guild?
"Nope! They're just taking on tasks. β
Eric shook his head, his magic could hear the heart, but it couldn't explore memory, and it couldn't hear it unless it verbally led them to think of the answer to that question!
"If you care, wouldn't it be nice to go along and take a look?"
Kira comfortably soaked herself in the hot spring again: "Do you know the difference between the boss and the younger brother?" β
"This kind of thing, the people on the other side have been doing it for a long time!"
