Chapter 447: Alice's Dance Steps
On the same day, Caesar returned to his manor in Arante: "On the way back, I heard that Princess Alice had been kidnapped, and I rushed back overnight, what the hell is going on?"
The guard lowered his head in shame: "It's me who didn't protect Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
"What's the matter!" Caesar was very angry: "Send all the people in the manor out and do your best to find clues about the princess." ”
"Master Caesar, don't be angry, we already have a little clue about the princess. Bing Zhixiao told him the specific situation.
"Then what are you waiting for? send someone to catch all the alchemists who participated in the finals," Caesar said.
Bingzhi said evilly: "My lord, those people have been secretly monitored by the people of the Wright faction, but I am worried that the arrest will be carried out now, first, the goal is not clear, and second, if a hostage confrontation is formed, it is not good for us, we can't be sure that the alchemist who participated in the final is the real mastermind behind the scenes, if there are people behind, or this is just a scam, it will not be easy to handle." ”
"And what can you do?"
"To be honest, there is no good way, the princess was robbed, and we were all passive. "Now Wright has asked the guards to block all the roads leading to the city to prevent them from taking the princess out. I think that if the purpose of the kidnappers is not for the alchemy competition, then there must be some other purpose, as long as it is not a political purpose, they will definitely negotiate with us. If their purpose is an alchemy competition, give them first place and let them release the princess, this is the safest way. ”
Caesar thought for a moment and said, "That's too passive, isn't it?"
"It's really passive, and we need to distort the current passive situation unless we can find more favorable clues. Bing Zhi said evilly: "The city government and the duke's side have mobilized all the people who can be mobilized to follow up the clues. I don't know about criminal investigation, they have so many full-time personnel, I hope to find out something. But I thought about it, as long as they had a purpose, the princess's life would not be in danger for the time being. ”
Caesar nodded: "That's all." ”
Bingzhi said evilly: "Alice was kidnapped and I was also responsible, I knew that she was a princess, and she was still walking around alone." Hey, Lord Caesar, aren't you going to pick up Master Ravel, one of the twelve sages of the Sacred Garden?"
Caesar said: "He is still in the palace of my empire to discuss matters with our king. ”
"Then the purpose of his departure from the Holy Garden this time is really for the Demon Moon Empire and the Holy Bektian War?"
Caesar nodded: "This time, Ravel is in the capacity of ambassador for peace talks, urging the two countries to stop fighting and peace talks. Our Gruthia is a friendly country of the Demon Moon Empire, and the king was already preparing to send troops to support the Demon Moon Empire, and Master Ravel came to us precisely to go to the front line of the Demon Moon Empire with our army, and he wanted to use this to tell San Biktia that the disaster caused by the war between the two superpowers would be Shijie, and this was not a war between two countries. So, the arrival of Mage Lovell may be good news for Princess Alice, and I hope nothing happens to her!"
Bing Zhiye pondered for a while: "Then I'll go to find a clue, my lord, you can rest." ”
"No, I'll go with you. Princess Alice is a guest in my house and I am obligated to take responsibility for her safety. ”

Another day passed, and even during the day, the light was still dim in a deserted underground warehouse in the northern part of Arrant City, and most of the windows of the warehouse had been sealed, except for two small windows that let in the sunlight from the outside.
Alice shuddered, and woke up from half sleep, this was the third time she had been frozen awakened today, even on the Holy Snow Mountain. Maybe it's because she's dressed too fashionably, or maybe the northern autumn nights are cooler, or maybe it's her uneasiness that makes her wake up from her dreams every time: "What time is it?"
Hurington glanced out the window: "It's about nine or ten o'clock in the morning." ”
"Oh. Alice answered, and never spoke again, she hadn't eaten for more than two days, and she really didn't have any extra energy to waste on talking. It's not that she doesn't have food and water to eat, it's just that she doesn't want to eat, or she doesn't dare to eat it.
Because everyone here except for Liliang was sealed, they were all imprisoned in a magic array on the ground, and the people who captured them were not allowed to leave this magic array, so they had to eat and go to the toilet on the spot, and there was no tissue paper, and a lot of feces and urine had accumulated in this small magic array. Fortunately, the light in this warehouse is dim, and other people can't see clearly when they urinate, but the smell is unpleasant.
'Click, click......' The sound of two footsteps was put loud in the empty and silent warehouse.
Everyone immediately rose to their senses, and immediately pleaded and begged for mercy, even Alice and Hurrington.
The footsteps are getting closer, and the blinding lights are coming.
"It stinks, it turns out that these self-righteous alchemists also stink their. The two men came to the magic circle and looked at them with a mocking look.
"Hmph, these guys, when they were just caught, they were all very arrogant, and now, they don't have to beg us for mercy obediently. ”
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, I don't want to stay in this place any longer. The other person unlocked the magic array and said, "Hurry up and reseal their liliang." ”
One watched, one moved, completely ignoring their pleas, and quickly sealed everyone again, dragged Alice up from the ground and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, come with us." He didn't even ask Alice if he agreed, and after restarting the magic array, he dragged her away.
In a clean room in the warehouse, three or four people were smoking cigarettes and playing cards together, complaining about how the boss had given them this errand.
The door opened, and Alice was pushed into the room: "Come on, come on, I've brought the princess, get out of the way." ”
Alice looked at the rough men in the room with great fear, but in this case, she had no choice but to stay here.
"Yo, the princess is here!" a big man threw the cards in his hand: "The few shows performed yesterday were not bad, after living for so many years, it was the first time I saw the show in the palace, I don't know what is interesting today for us to watch." ”,
The day before yesterday and yesterday, Alice had already been pulled in by them a few times.
Another big man said: "The boss is really right, that is, he doesn't let us leave, he doesn't let us call a few prostitutes over, and he doesn't let the women in the group accompany us, let us stay in this deserted place every day, watching those alchemists eat and shit, it's really boring to death." ”
"It's a pity that such a beautiful girl is still a noble princess in front of her, but she doesn't let us move. Otherwise, it wouldn't be bad to let our brothers have fun here for a few days. A guy with a full beard looked at Alice's body obscenely.
Alice took a few steps back with her chest in her arms, nervously looking at the men around her with lewd smiles on their faces.
Soon, the room was cleared and a simple small stage was built out of discarded wooden boxes and planks.
"Please, Your Highness Princess, put on a good show for us, preferably striptease, or don't blame us big men for bullying you. ”
Alice trembled and walked past the men, and was touched by the men from time to time, although the tears kept rolling in her eyes, but what could she do.
Although Alice was sealed Liliang, these people did not weaken her in order to watch her perform, so she was still able to move freely.
Alice walked to the small wooden platform in her gorgeous long dress, and looked at everyone tremblingly: "I...... I'll give ...... today I will show you a village dance of our imperial folk, called "Zuihou Dance Steps on the Night of Parting". ”
A big man shouted: "What kind of folk dance steps, princess, you should still dance a striptease, I haven't seen a princess dance a striptease." ”
Alice ignored the man, clapped her hands to the rhythm, sang and danced.
The graceful singing voice passed through the empty warehouse to Hurrington's side, and several imprisoned alchemists were fascinated by it: "She sings so well as a little girl's song." There were even two alchemists who couldn't suppress their inner emotions and were moved to tears by the mournful singing.
Hurrington touched his nose and shook off the infected emotions in his heart: "Hey, are you still in the mood to listen to the song? Let's think of any way to escape." ”
"What's the solution?" one of the alchemists was already discouraged: "They said that the goal is to be the first place in the alchemy competition, and when their leader wins the championship, they will naturally let us go." ”
"Cut!" Hurington didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of person who sat down and waited for death, and by the faint light, he looked around to see if he could think of a way to escape.
Others, on the other hand, either listen to the song or think about their own thoughts.
