Chapter 558: Marry or Kill? (Monthly Tickets for Extra Updates!)
"Miss Adela, I would like to ask if there was a magician who just returned from outside in your camp?"
When facing Adela, Lolita's tone became much softer and more polite.
However, Adela and Laci were a little confused when they heard Lolita's words. Why would the eldest lady of the Sacred Trading Company come to see Harry?
Was it because Rigvis had helped her in the hotel?
But that didn't make sense. Lolita had already given gifts to both of them to express her gratitude, and it had been so long since it happened.
Adela paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and answered truthfully.
"Yes! His name is Harry! I wonder what Miss Lolita wants to see him for?"
No matter what Lolita's purpose is, she has come to their door now, and she knows that Harry has just returned. She must have found out everything, so they naturally cannot lie.
"Oh! I came to him to confirm something. Miss Adela, could you please ask Master Harry to come over and meet me in person?"
"Who is this? He's looking for me!"
From a distance, Gervis heard someone saying they were looking for him, and he was a little slow to react.
He had just fallen into a sweet sleep, but he was unexpectedly woken up by the people sent by Lachi, who said that there was a situation outside the camp.
Gervis thought that it was Deville who came to visit him, so he had no choice but to leave his comfortable bed.
Now he was still a little puzzled when he vaguely heard someone looking for him. He didn't realize that the woman Lolita was right after him.
However, as Gervis got closer, he soon saw the charming Lolita facing Adela, and he suddenly came to his senses.
"How does this woman know my identity?"
"No, I shouldn't have left any loopholes!"
Gervis was very careful on his way back. He even buried the worn-out armor in a pit. At this time, he buried Crimson Moon in the grass inside the tent. No one should be able to discover his identity.
"Harry! You're just in time! Come here quickly, someone is looking for you!"
Knowing that it was the woman named Lolita, Gervis was actually ready to turn around and leave, waiting for an opportunity in the distance. However, he did not expect that Laci was still looking back and waiting for Gervis to come.
Now seeing Gervis, he immediately called out.
Gervis had saved Lolita last time, so they had met once. Laci did not realize that Lolita actually came with the intention of killing someone, and instead thought about it in a positive way.
"Oh! Master Lachi, who is looking for me?"
Since he was exposed by Lachi, Gervis could only calm down, then walked over with a little confusion.
"Is it you?"
Before Laci could answer, when Gervis came closer, Lolita saw his appearance and immediately remembered this magician whom she had met once in the hotel.
"Hey, it's this lady. You seem to be... By the way, you are the eldest daughter of the Holy Trading Company. I saw her halfway up the mountain that day!"
Seeing Lolita's reaction, Gervis knew that his identity was not exposed, and he immediately spoke in a surprised tone.
"Thank you, young lady, for the gift you gave us last time!"
"Harry, this is Miss Lolita, and she is the one looking for you!"
Seeing that Gervis couldn't even remember the person's name, Lachi quickly mentioned it.
"Miss Lolita, are you looking for me? What can I do for you?"
Gervis looked at Lolita, pretending to be flattered.
At this time, Lolita frowned slightly and was looking at Gervis carefully, comparing him with the bastard in the cave in her mind.
"His hair is black and his build is similar, but he doesn't have any fighting spirit and his face is completely different!"
Lolita was a little confused. She really doubted Harry when she came here. After all, this Harry had just arrived in this valley some time ago, and there were too many coincidences.
But now that she knew that Harry was the wizard who had attacked at the inn, her skepticism was somewhat shaken.
After all, she and Harry had not had any interaction at that time. Harry had this face, was a wizard, and had enthusiastically helped her.
"I'm chasing a shameless thief who stole something very important from me. His physical features are similar to those of Master Harry. I heard that Master Harry returned alone today, so I wanted to come and ask him! I didn't expect it to be you!"
Perhaps it was because Lolita was satisfied with Gervis's performance that time, which gave her the courage to attack the orcs, that she also answered Gervis.
Although her tone was not as gentle as when she had just talked to Adela, those who knew her knew that this was a rare scene.
Even Davil on the side couldn't help but look at Gervis. Just now at the entrance of the valley, it was Lolita who asked the questions and he answered them. Now he didn't expect that this little apprentice magician could actually let Lolita answer the questions.
"Shameless thief? I spent 10 energy points to find this treasure, but now you say I stole it. Even though you're pretty, I don't like such a bad woman at all!"
Gervis finally knew why Lolita came. It turned out to be this reason. He couldn't help but secretly think that it was a good thing that he acted carefully and had many housekeeping skills.
At the same time, his heart was throbbing. This Lolita actually slandered him like this. However, on the surface, he could only pretend to be surprised and indignant.
"How could there be such a bold thief who dares to steal Miss Lolita's belongings?"
"Miss Lolita, if you find the whereabouts of the thief, you must tell me. I am willing to help catch the thief."
"Thank you, Master Harry! Since we have found the wrong person! Then I won't disturb your rest! Goodbye, Miss Adela!"
Lolita looked at Gervis' face carefully, especially the sides of his cheeks, but in the end she still found nothing. She could only reply lightly and prepared to leave.
If it were anyone else, she would definitely ask more questions, even if it meant checking whether there was any disguise on the face.
But now that the suspect is Gervis, she really can't repay kindness with enmity, so she can only make other plans.
"Okay, Miss Lolita, take care!"
"See you Miss Lolita!"
Gervis and Adela said goodbye to Lolita.
Afterwards, Lolita left the camp where Gervis and his group were with Davill and the others.
"Who has the guts to steal the things of the eldest lady of the Holy Commercial Bank? I think that thief will never see the sun next year!"
After seeing Lolita leave, Lachi said in amazement.
“…”
Gervais remained silent.
"Harry, if you meet Miss Lolita again in the future, you can get close to her more. She doesn't seem to hate you that much!"
"Oh! All right, Master Rudge!"
After hearing what Lach said before, Gervis wanted to beat Lach up for daring to curse him like that.
However, after hearing the following advice, I felt that Laci was quite good for saying such words to me.
As for trying to get close to Lolita, Gervis thought his life was too short.
He had already made up his mind to run as far away from this woman as possible in the future.
"Laki, Master Harry! Let's go back and rest first!"
At this time, Adela said goodbye to the two of them, and then returned to her tent with Zenia.
"I'm going back too! Harry, you should have a good rest! Maybe the magic circle can be broken tomorrow. Although we have to enter a little later, we may not get nothing good!"
"If you can find any treasures in the palace this time, you can keep them for yourself. It will be counted as a reward for your time as a trailblazer!"
"Okay, thank you Master Lachi!"
Hearing what Laci said, Gervis looked at this dandy boy in surprise. He didn't expect that he was actually so friendly.
…
"Pedder!"
In the valley, Lolita sat on a clean bluestone and shouted to Peder who was directing the guards to set up the camp.
"Miss, what do you want to tell me?"
"Remember the wizard named Harry. Once you leave this place, check his identity and background carefully!"
Although Harry has been cleared of suspicion for the time being, in order to catch that shameless bastard, Lolita does not want to let any suspect go and is ready to investigate Gervis's background thoroughly.
In Lolita's mind, Harry still had some suspicion, although the suspicion was very small.
If Gervis knew this, he would definitely sigh at how terrifying women's intuition is.
"Yes, Miss!"
Pedder immediately agreed and kept the matter in mind.
"Okay! The rest will follow the previous arrangement. You will be responsible for inquiring in other families tomorrow to see if there is any news about this thief."
"Yes, Miss!"
"Okay, go get busy!"
Lolita nodded, then sent Butler Pedder away and looked towards the magician's tower not far away.
"The priest said that if a human man saw my full appearance, he should either be married to him or killed! Otherwise, it would bring disaster to the tribe! I don't know if it's true or not!"
"But no matter what, I must kill that shameless bastard!"
"I have been searching for so many years and finally got a good sword, but I didn't expect it to be snatched away by that bastard."
…
After returning to the tent, Gervis fell into a sweet dream again. He had no idea that Miss Lolita was gritting her teeth and thinking about killing him, and was still planning to investigate Harry's identity.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, Gervis was full of energy and got up early.
He first practiced fighting spirit in his tent for a while, and when he smelled the fragrance coming from outside the tent, he ended his practice and walked out of the tent.
"Harry, are you up? Come and have breakfast. You've been on the road these days, and I thought you wanted to sleep a little longer, so I didn't ask anyone to wake you up!"
In Lach's eyes, Gervis is just a magician, and the physical fitness of an apprentice magician is actually no different from that of an ordinary person.
So he thought that Gervis would definitely get up late because of fatigue, and he was a little surprised to see Gervis getting up early and looking refreshed.
"Master Lachi, I can't sleep when I think of the magician's tower and the wizard's palace ahead!"
Gervis walked over with a smile, sat down by the campfire without hesitation, took the food handed to him by the cook, and started talking to Laci while eating.
After a while, Adela and Zenia also came over, and they started to have breakfast together.
Now, apart from the guards, there are only these few people left in their team.
The other two boys and the girl were all poached by Deville.
After all, they have gone through so much hardship and seeing that Adela is indifferent to them, now they have the opportunity to enter the palace and collect the treasures as soon as possible. Naturally, the treasures are more important.
"Laki, how is the destruction of the magic circle going over there?"
Laci had always sent people to keep an eye on every move in the palace. After Adela and Zenia sat down, Zenia immediately asked.
"It's almost there! My subordinates came back and said that the magic circle of the gate has dimmed a lot. It should be able to be opened by noon at the latest!"
Rakhi ate a piece of kebab and replied to Zenia.
"Oh! Then should we go there early? We can't be the last one in line! Oh, right? Those guys in the first echelon should let us in, right?"
"That's for sure. There are so many people like us. Although those guys in the first echelon are not happy to let us go in, they certainly don't dare to do anything drastic. At most they can delay us for more than ten minutes. Otherwise, by then other adventurer teams and small families will definitely attack us at all costs!"
"The most important thing is that there are still thousands of orcs outside the valley. Without us, they will not be able to resist the orcs and break out!"
Lachi was smart and immediately confirmed Zenia's question.
"Don't worry, I'll go talk to the families in the first tier later!"
At this moment, Adela, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"That's not necessary, Adela. Ten minutes at night may not be useless!"
Adela meant that she would reveal her identity later. As the daughter of the Sky City, she believed that no one would dare to disrespect her, even though she was alone now.
Of course, if Adela really did this, she would have to face more and more covetous people in the academy in the future.
In fact, Lucky is one of the few people in the academy who knows Adela's true identity.
This was secretly told to him by his uncle who worked as a logistics manager at the Union College, so he cared so much about Adela.
Whether it is Adela's stunning appearance or the amazing background behind her, it is the dream of dudes like Laci.
Only someone like Deville, who only relies on guesswork and does not know Adela's specific identity, would dare to trip up other teammates in front of Adela.
If Deville knew Adela's true background, Laci was sure that even if it was his father who was in the valley to support him, Deville would not behave so badly in front of Adela, but would continue to pursue Adela carefully with all his strength.
Because Adela is really worth their hard work and perseverance.
