The banquet hall was silent.
Only Liz's loud slap echoed faintly.
And the breathless breath of death that appeared in vain, like the black scythe of the God of Death, quickly receded like the tide and disappeared with Liz's slap.
But no one really thinks that it is just an illusion.
The cold sweat on the back of every nobleman present was the best proof.
Among them, the three people from Sima next to Vivian are particularly obvious.
There was a chill on my neck.
After swallowing hard, they made sure their heads were still intact. The backs of the three of them were soaked.
Just now...what was that?
All the distinguished guests in the banquet hall had this doubt.
But it's a pity that they don't have time to think about this issue now.
Because, at this moment, there is obviously a bigger event happening in front of them.
"Li, Liz?" Sima said in disbelief.
She looked at the angry girl who was very familiar to her and stood opposite her with a "you shouldn't be able to be here" look.
"Why, are you surprised to see me...? Sima!" Liz sneered.
The eldest lady just wanted to question Sima in public about the kidnapping.
But when Liz's eyes passed through Sima's body, she saw...
A certain girl's cheeks were red, she looked slightly drunk, her eyes were very confused, and she looked like she still didn't understand what was going on. It was obvious that something was not right.
"Vivian?" Liz frowned immediately.
"Get away!"
The earl's daughter gave a sweet shout, and the two nobles who were summoned by Sima to trick Vivian immediately became pissed off and did not dare to block Liz's way.
They were trembling all over, and the fear that had just been relieved reappeared this time. The two of them kept winking at Sima, meaning what to do now.
But now Xima is still in trouble, and the planned situation is disrupted by Liz's appearance.
She could only give the two of them a look to stop them from talking nonsense, and then her face became uncertain, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
the other side.
"Li...Lisi?" Vivian tilted her head, rubbed her hazy eyes with her little hands, and asked uncertainly towards the girl who came to her with a concerned expression on her face.
After her eyes came into focus and she could really see the girl's appearance, Vivian showed a surprised expression.
"Great, okay! It's really you... Liz, you, you escape..."
Before the little girl could finish her words, she was interrupted by Liz.
"Vivian, have you been drinking?" As soon as the little girl opened her mouth, Liz could smell the smell of alcohol coming towards her face.
This made the girl frown even more tightly.
Under Liz's questioning, Vivian was like a child who had made a mistake, and replied with a guilty tone:
"Just...just drank a little bit..."
"A little bit!? Are you just a little bit like this?"
Liz was like a stern older sister, reprimanding her immature younger sister. She snatched the wine glass that Vivian was still holding in her hand, which was given to her by Cima and the others.
Then, turning around suddenly, Liz's cold gaze fell on Sima again.
Although she had just arrived, as the daughter of an earl and at the top of the aristocracy, Liz could see the situation clearly at a glance, unlike some fledgling girl.
"It's you!"
"It seems that I really underestimated you, Sima. I didn't expect that your purpose of kidnapping me...is here!"
The "it's here" in Liz's mouth could refer to Vivian, or it could refer to this fundraising dinner.
"No, Belis, Sima is...a friend. I want to drink it myself. It has nothing to do with her..."
Vivian, who was feeling dizzy, still wanted to defend Sima.
But Liz ignored the drunken girl. Instead, she first looked at the place where the little girl was taken, which was located in a remote corner of the banquet. Then, with sharp eyes, she looked at the two nobles next to Sima.
These two people did not have Sima's determination. As soon as Liz glanced at them, they immediately felt guilty and their eyes wandered, making them feel uncomfortable.
snort.
He snorted coldly, as if he was sure of something.
"Friends? Vivian, please be careful and let you know that not everyone will be like you and always be friends with others sincerely."
Liz said, picking up the wine glass that she had taken from the little girl before.
Glancing down, he saw what seemed to be clear and normal alcohol inside.
The girl quickly took out a silver needle from the small package she had been carrying.
"This needle is engraved with identification magic. As long as there are abnormal substances in the food, the color of the needle will become darker."
As if explanation alone is not enough, greater credibility is needed.
Liz was behind again and added a special sentence.
"This is a birthday gift given to me by my father, the head of the Thistle family, the Earl, when I was ten years old. My father at the time told me to be careful when making friends and be careful of bad people."
Liz noticed that under her words, the corner of Sima's mouth opposite her twitched violently several times.
But at this time, the eldest lady just thought that this was Sima's guilty conscience.
Liz put the silver needle into Vivian's wine glass.
As expected, even though it was a high-end drug produced by a treasure thief group, it still showed its true colors when faced with a self-defense item given to his "beloved" daughter by an earl.
The silver-white needle soon darkened in color and headed towards the inky black.
"how come..."
So much has happened, and Vivian has recovered a lot from her drunken state, but the little girl still looks at Sima, this new friend who has obviously "helped" her a lot, with eyes that she doesn't want to believe.
But Sima's silence, lowering her head slightly and covering her face with her hair on both sides is the best proof.
"Somebody come!"
"Catch her, and these two, they are all accomplices!"
The original owner of Cima was only the daughter of a baron, and Liz, the daughter of an earl, was regarded as a noble lady in the eyes of common people.
But if the two were really compared to each other, then Sima might not even be able to reach Liz's toes.
How dare the guards at the venue disobey the order of the earl's daughter?
What's more, judging from the conversation just now, it seems that Sima is not only plotting evil against Vivian, but is also inseparable from the incident of Liz's kidnapping that was reported before.
Several guards immediately came from all directions. On such an important occasion where many nobles gathered, the guards were almost always on call.
As Xima's accomplices, the two walk-on nobles were so frightened when they saw being surrounded by so many guards that they squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, not even daring to resist.
On the other hand, Sima...
"What!" Liz exclaimed.
Seema seemed to sigh.
When her slightly lowered head began to rise upwards, at the same time, Sima's legs followed suit, almost leaping, and she easily escaped from the layers of guards.
Not only the guards, but also Liz herself and all the other nobles watching the show were stunned by Sima's actions.
Because this is not what a noble lady can do.
No matter how experienced and agile a thief is, he cannot be said to be able to leap six or seven meters high, jump out of the guard wall, and land extremely smoothly without even taking a breath.
It was this moment of surprise that gave Sima ample opportunity to escape.
But having said that, even if everyone is not stunned, the ordinary guard strength here alone cannot stop Sima at all, right?
It is even said that as long as Xima wants to, she can directly counterattack. In the face of absolute power, the number of people is meaningless.
Oh, no, there is another "great god" here. No wonder Sima chose to remain silent, startling everyone, and then take the opportunity to escape.
Using power will destroy the physical disguise, and one of them is the unwillingness to reveal one's identity.
The presence of Vivian, whose strength is unfathomable, is even worse.
Xima found it skillfully, and it was at the back door of the venue not far away. It was obvious that everything had been taken care of, and any unexpected situation had been considered.
After her figure flashed and completely disappeared from the banquet hall, everyone seemed to have completely come back to their senses.
"Chase!"
"Chase them all!" Liz felt a little angry.
She didn't expect that at this point, she could actually let the other party run away like this under her nose.
...
...
hateful!
I was cursing in my heart.
After escaping from the back door of the venue, Sima was now a little embarrassed. She was far from as relaxed as she was at the beginning. Instead, she was breathing heavily and kept pressing one hand on her chest.
Although this is not the time to be funny, I have to say that Sima's breasts are sagging faintly at the moment. It is not the normal kind of sagging, but as if the fake breasts are about to run away.
In fact, it's not just the breasts, but also all parts of Sima's body.
Earl Thistle can indeed use a certain ability to disguise his body into the appearance of the devoured person, but this is temporary and cannot withstand strenuous activities.
But right now...
"Quick! Go over there!"
"Hold her, we have already notified the city guards to block it! She can't run away!"
"Miss Liz said that whoever can catch her will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
"Ah! I saw it! She's over there, chase her!"
Inspired by money, the guards worked extra hard, holding fire bars one by one, chasing after Sima's figure in the inner city under the night.
hateful! hateful!
Why is this happening!
Liz, wasn't she the one who had the stolen treasure group sent to a remote warehouse in the outer city to be locked up? Why on earth, how could she still appear here!
It's impossible for her to escape alone...Who is it? Who helped her?
Xima's face was ferocious, and she was questioning frantically in her mind.
Maybe the gods heard her voice and wanted to give her an answer.
So the next moment.
It happened to be the alley where Sima ran into, at the corner.
bump!
Meeting love at the corner, a very classic collision happened.
Sima was running fast to get rid of the pursuers behind her. She accidentally bumped into the chest of a passerby who seemed to be coming from the other end at the corner of the alley.
"Ah!" A painful sound sounded.
Sima was knocked directly and fell to the ground.
"I'm very sorry, Miss, are you... okay?" A magnetic male voice sounded in the ears of Sima who fell to the ground.
Just when Seema wondered if she had heard this voice somewhere...
"Hey! That's great! It's really you. I'm still looking for you, Miss Sima!" The other party made a surprised sound first.
At this time, through the moonlight, Sima could see the other party's appearance clearly.
There are not many people whose appearance she can remember.
But tonight, I met the servant who happened to be in Xima's original mansion by chance.
"You...you were from that time..." Sima's eyes widened.
She really never expected to be here, under such circumstances and at this time, meeting this attendant who had disappeared inexplicably after following her to the treasure stealing group.
It can be said that Xima was as surprised as when Liz broke into the banquet and came in front of her.
There was no chance for Sima to ask.
The servant then took the lead and said:
"Miss Cima, I heard that you made the earl's daughter angry, and she is now looking for you everywhere!"
You don’t have to say that!
Sima was about to push it away impatiently, wanting to get up from the ground and continue running.
But unexpectedly, the other party's next words made Xima stunned.
"Miss, after I heard about it, I quickly prepared a horse for you. Come on up and use her to escape to a safe place!"
What! ?
Ready for the horse?
Under Sima's surprised gaze, the attendant actually pulled out a horse from the shadowed corner of the alley that Sima had not noticed before.
"You...!" Sima opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
what is this! ?
Has your fortune turned around?
What Sima needs most right now is a tool to escape. If the disguised body continues to move violently, and her true body is exposed, she will be in big trouble.
but...
Can it really be such a coincidence?
Just when I was about to doze off, someone brought me a pillow?
It's still the same person. It's strange to say that he appears here, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that there can be a reluctant explanation. He brought and selected the attendants at the beginning.
There was no time to give Sima any more time to think.
Because behind him, the footsteps and shouts of the chasing guards were getting closer and closer.
"I remember...your name is Bai?"
Quickly climbed onto the horse.
No matter how anxious she was, before leaving, Xima still turned back for the last time and talked to this "magical" attendant.
"After this time, you can come to this place to find me, and I... will give you a generous reward."
After putting down such a sentence.
Sima waved her whip and galloped away.
And in the vague peripheral vision, Sima saw that the young and handsome attendant behind her seemed to be shaking his head at her last words.
really.
Seema was not wrong.
Liao Zixuan hoped that with his help, Earl Thistle would not be exposed prematurely and successfully escape.
He put his other hand, which had been behind him, in front of him.
Open your palms.
On top of it, is a handkerchief.
In the very center of the handkerchief, under the moonlight, you can see a hint of scarlet, which is very obvious on the white handkerchief.
Liao Zixuan's soliloquy echoed in the alley.
"You have paid the reward a long time ago, Miss Cima, or... Earl."
