Chapter 503 Search!
The Holy City of Heka is one of the city-states of the Holy Alliance of Humanity. Its strength ranks in the middle and lower reaches of the Human Alliance. It has five small cities, thousands of villages and towns, and a total population of more than 8 million.
Today, the Lord's Mansion of the Holy City of Heka is particularly lively. In the reception area with more than a dozen independent manors, thousands of guards are carrying torches and conducting a carpet search.
I heard that it was because a thief sneaked into the reception area and rudely offended the second young master's VIP, which made the second young master furious.
…
"Adela, are you okay?"
"Yes! Adela, I said I wanted you to live with us. It's all Lucky's fault. If Lucky hadn't arranged for you to live here, this wouldn't have happened!"
"That's right! Lachi, you need to give Adela an explanation as to why thieves broke into the Lord's Mansion of Heka Holy City! Are the guards of Heka Holy City so incompetent?"
"Haha, the most ridiculous thief is still an ordinary person! Mr. Lachi, I hope you can explain it!"
At this moment, the small building where Adela was located was brightly lit inside and out, and there were already hundreds of guards guarding it. In the hall on the first floor of the small building, seven or eight men and women were talking in a lively manner.
Among this group of young men and women, there are three women and four men including Adela.
Three of the men questioned Lachi, the second young master of the Holy City of Heka, without showing any mercy.
They all knew at this time that Adela had encountered a thief in the bathroom, but fortunately, according to Adela herself, everything was normal when she entered the bathroom, but just after she finished bathing and put on her clothes, a man suddenly flipped in from the balcony, and immediately fled after seeing her.
The thief was finally hit on the shoulder by Adela's Holy Light Purification, and then he disappeared into the woods.
Although Adela's experience was safe, several young men were indignant about such an incident. They had followed Adela from afar, and if Adela was taken advantage of by someone else, how could they be happy?
The second young master of the Holy City of Heka, Lachi, is also their competitor. However, because this is Lachi's home court, Lachi arranged for Adela and them to live in different manors.
Now that something like this has happened, it is a perfect time for them to vent their anger and take advantage of the situation to add insult to injury.
"I'm sorry, Adela. I didn't know this would happen. I will definitely catch that thief and make him pay the price for offending you."
At this time, Laqi's face turned red, almost like a pig's liver, but because Adela was there, and it was indeed a problem of their Heka Holy City, he could only endure the sarcasm and ridicule of the other three young men.
At this moment, Laqi wanted to catch the damn thief and cut him into pieces. He finally got a chance to perform well in front of Adela, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this. He didn't know if this would leave a bad impression on Adela.
What’s even more hateful is that that was a bathroom. If Miss Adela hadn’t just finished bathing and put on her clothes, that would have been an easy opportunity for the thief.
"What's the use of saying sorry! Adela, let's move out and stay in a hotel in the city. I brought five golden knights with me, and they can definitely protect our safety!"
"Yes! Adela! I also brought three apprentice magicians with me. They can definitely keep us safe!"
However, the three men were not prepared to let Laci get away with it, and began to encourage Adela to leave the City Lord's Mansion.
Otherwise, this City Lord's Mansion is Lachi's home turf, and they will not be able to compete with Lachi at all.
"Adela, don't worry, I have arranged hundreds of guards outside this manor. I promise that what just happened will never happen again!"
Laci hated the three men so much that his teeth were itching, but he still couldn't do anything about it. Their status was not lower than his own, and the most important thing now was to keep Adela, otherwise he might really have no chance in the future.
"Alright! Stop arguing! Adela was just frightened. Have you ever thought about how Adela feels by arguing like this?"
Just as several young men were arguing, a woman next to Adela spoke up.
Several young men who were about to continue mocking Laci immediately quieted down after hearing this. It was not because they were afraid of the woman who was speaking, but because they were worried that they would really upset Adela.
"If we're talking about responsibility, you guys are also responsible. If you hadn't insisted on suggesting that we go for a walk in the city, Adela and I would have come here at the same time. How could that thief have scared Adela and still escaped?"
The woman who was speaking was Adela's classmate, named Zenia.
There were seven of them in their group from the Alliance Academy. After arriving at the Holy City of Heka today, several young men wanted to please Adela and suggested going for a stroll in the city. In the end, Adela did not join in because she was tired from the journey, so she returned to the manor alone to rest.
Zenia and another woman also lived with Adela, but they were very interested in the suggestion of going out for a walk in the city, so they did not come back with Adela to rest.
This is what happened next.
Adela is a talented magician who possesses dual magic.
And one of them is an extremely rare light magic. However, light magic has super power against undead creatures, but its attack power is smaller against humans and other creatures.
But Zenia is a fire magician, so her attack power in combat is naturally stronger than that of light magicians, so if she is there, the thief will not be able to escape.
"Yes! We were negligent! Adela, we promise not to do this again in the future!"
When the three young men heard Zenia put such a big accusation on them, they thought to themselves that you all agreed with us when we just talked about going shopping, but now you are putting the blame on us.
However, thinking that if they wanted to pursue Adela, they would need Zenia to speak well of them, they could only accept it.
"I'm a little tired! You all go back! I'm fine now, Mr. Lachi, when you catch the thief, remember to notify me!"
Adela finally spoke, she was so angry at the shameless man for seeing her naked body.
But she couldn't tell anyone. Now, hearing that these young men were only blaming each other, she didn't want to pay any attention to them, so she simply started to drive them away.
"Okay, Adela, take a good rest. I will definitely catch the thief! I will give you a satisfactory explanation then."
Hearing that Adela was willing to continue living here, Laci finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least he still had a chance to show his talents.
Next, Laci and three other young men walked out of the building, leaving only Adela and three other women behind.
…
Gervis didn't know it yet, but he had already been labeled a thief.
And because of him, the second young master of the Heka Holy City was very angry. If he was caught, he would definitely suffer a lot.
At this time, Gervis was lying on the shore of a lake, his whole body submerged in the water, with only his head sticking out of the water, watching the teams of guards searching past on the surrounding roads.
"I have stirred up a hornet's nest!"
Gervis felt a little bitter. After slipping into the bushes, he started running without stopping. He ran for five or six minutes, but unexpectedly he encountered a high wall, which prevented him from escaping.
At that moment, there were chaotic shouts and tapping footsteps coming from the roads everywhere.
Knowing that the situation was not good, Gervis quickly slipped to the edge of the lake and dived into the water to hide, while also thinking about how to get out.
Naturally, Gervis would not choose to force his way in.
The search teams just now were all composed of titled knights, and even the golden knight Gervis had seen at least two or three of them. Gervis felt that a place with such strength would have many strong men, and his chances of escaping would be slim if he fought hard.
Therefore, the only solution now is to outsmart it.
And Gervis has thought of a good idea, which is to use the transparent mask he got from Zel.
This mask can be used to disguise himself as anyone, so he plans to blend in with these searching soldiers and then find a way to escape.
Otherwise, by daybreak, the difficulty of escape would increase dramatically.
At this time, Gervis was concentrating on the searching guards. He needed an opportunity to blend in with them quietly.
