Chapter 47:

When Belinda arrives in the room for lunch, she finds Alana immersed in clay sculptures. She didn't dare to make a noise, so she put the baked bread slices and black tea on the corner of the table and stood aside.

Three hours later, it was done.

"Take it to the Frost Holy City and soak it in the Holy Water Pool."

When Belinda saw the clay sculpture, she immediately understood Alana's plan, "Yes, I'll go right away." Is there anything else you need me to do?

Alanna explained the kidnapper's conditions and her plan, "The higher transcendents are aware of your presence, so you don't need to follow me. When I need it, I will naturally call you.

"Besides, I'll not go over to Erin's side, and you tell her the ins and outs of the matter, so that she can be prepared."

"Yes!"

Belinda had long since lost her breath and heartbeat, but at this time, she felt the blood boiling after a long time. This was her first official action since joining the undead faction.

The previous battle of Hydra came suddenly, and she regretted missing it. She'll definitely do well this time!

Alana once again bit the slice of bread and went downstairs and got into a carriage and headed straight for the municipal building. It's not early, I don't know what the situation is on the kidnapper's side.

In fact, the three Stephens were more cooperative than everyone expected.

They had a leisurely lunch under the hospitality of the ruling government, and Stephen himself even took a nap on the sofa. No noise, no noise, no special requests.

Towards the end of the evening, the crowd gathered again in the chamber.

"After discussion, we have decided to agree to your three conditions. But at the same time, we also have a request.

"We will send two messengers to make sure that the children are safe and well. This is necessary for the trade to proceed, and if you refuse, then we have to question the authenticity of your chips. 

Everyone waited with bated breath, this was the first step in the battle plan. If the kidnappers refused, all their previous calculations would be in vain, and the matter would once again be at an impasse.

thought that with Stephen's high-profile attitude, he would definitely be furious, and even threaten the child's life again.

Unexpectedly, his reaction was quite flat.

"Yes."

Everyone looked at each other, almost suspecting that they were hallucinating.

"You heard it right," Stephen leaned back in his chair leisurely, "and we agreed to the terms of visitation. But you have to remember that if you don't get what we want in three days' time, you'll be sent back with the bodies of six children.

Sean breathed a sigh of relief, and none of the many negotiation plans he had prepared were used.

"Who are the two Night Watchmen you chose?" Stephen asked.

Andreina took over: "Alana · Sos and Roy · Bell." Both of them have been new night watchmen in the past two years, and only the Walker has cultivated.

Roy was Alana's choice.

After meeting Nancy, she basically finalized the course of action, decided to choose Roy's companions, and passed the message to Helen, who in turn forwarded it to Andrena.

Stephen smiled meaningfully, "Just two people?

Andreina was stunned and did not easily fall into the other party's language trap, "You will agree, we send more people?"

"You can send as many as you want, as long as our Pegasus can sit down. However, to make sure that the children are alive, it only takes one person to come back alive, right?

Andreina chuckled in her heart, this person means that no matter how many people they send over, only one person will come back in the end? Someone else will be seized, or?

Wouldn't it be better to send only one person there?

No, Stephen is talking about coming back "alive", that is, the person who came back may not be unharmed. Two people still take care of each other, and if there is only one person, they can't deal with emergencies at all.

"So be it," Stephen patted the table, "go now, and I'll send the 'messengers' back tomorrow."

After saying that, the three of them got up and walked towards the roof without looking back.

A group of councilors and priests gathered around Alanna.

Helen took out the results of the preparation of the four major divine cults, "These are the three defensive magic weapons we have selected, all of which are at the Sage level, which can deal with physical, poison, and spiritual attacks, and conceal their body and breath.

"There are two attack magic weapons, this bead-sized one is a flame blast type, with a range of six meters, and it can be effective when thrown out."

"The other bracelet is actually [Weird 165], which is indestructible and can change shape at will. In other words, you can turn it into a sword, bow, axe, or dagger, which is very flexible to use.

"Spooky?" Alana knew that the priests would prepare a set of equipment for her, but she didn't expect to use even the weird.

"Yes, it was contained by us twenty years ago, and the side effect is severe psychic contamination and induction. Anyone who wears it will quickly lose themselves and become a machine that only knows how to kill.

"However, you don't need to worry about this for the time being, the priests of the Wisdom God Cult have jointly imposed a seal, which can guarantee normal use for at least three days."

Alana pinched the iron-gray rose carved bracelet and asked, "Does it have a name?"

"Well, codenamed 'Thorn Rose.'"

"It's good, I like it." As for mental pollution or something, she was not worried, but curious. What kind of spiritual pollution is it, and how many levels is it different from the pollution of the gods?

"It's good to like it," the magic instructor who came up with the idea smiled, as if he had done a great job.

"Roy's equipment is similar to yours," Helen handed him five high-level magic weapons, "three for defense, two for attack, but it's not weird."

"Thank you, Lord Helen," Roy bowed in thanks.

"What about the secret interrogation?" Alana asked.

"Let me introduce you," the wizard of the Night Church stepped forward, "it's not a good idea, but it's stealthy enough.

Alana saw him pull out two palm-sized dolls, one of which looked like her, with black hair and black eyes, and the other who looked like Roy.

"Cursed puppet?"

"Yes, but this time it's the other way around. The cursed puppet was originally a forbidden technique that I taught the wizard's career path, taking the blood, hair, and personal objects of the cursed person to cast a spell to connect the fate of the cursed person and the puppet.

"If you hurt a doll, you will hurt the cursed person. But this time......"

Alana understood, "you reversed the sorcery and hurt the cursed, and the puppet would be damaged。 So, once something happens to Roy and me, you'll find out. 

Yes, that's right!" The wizard couldn't help but marvel at Alana's cleverness.

"The way we communicate is that we leave a message on our bodies. For example, if you engrave the name of a place on your arm, you will see the corresponding text on the puppet. "

Yes!" There was a slight embarrassment in the wizard's eyes, "I'm sorry to need to do it this way. But any way of communicating with external objects can be discovered and taken away, and only then can ......"

"I understand." Alana has long been immune to physical pain.

"It's not too late," Helen put a hand on Alanna's shoulder, "Mr. Victor will be back tonight, and we'll be searching around while we wait for your news."

"Take care."

"Come back safely!"

"Safety first!"

"Come on, we'll win!"

Everyone was gossiping, and some of the priests even had moist eyes.

Old Thompson squeezed in from the crowd, walked up to Alanna, and bowed solemnly, "Miss Alana, allow me to pay your respects and thanks.

When he first received the news that Michael had disappeared because he had taken the Soth children to eat ice cream, he felt a moment of resentment.

He knew it shouldn't, but he couldn't control it.

But when I asked for details, I learned that the daughter of the Gauss family and the two children of the Soth family were also seriously injured. If it weren't for the high-level magic weapon body protector given by Lord Victor, they probably wouldn't have survived.

What qualifications does he have to vent his anger? Instead, Alana should resent him.

But in the end, instead of holding him responsible, Alana was willing to make great efforts and sacrifices to save Michael, which had an indescribable impact on him.

Alanna hurriedly held him up, "You don't have to ......"

"No, that's the least I should do!"

Old Thompson stood up with the support of his bodyguards, "I am content that you can do this." Even if the final action is unsuccessful, I will not force the four major churches to take out the remains of their ancestors. 

The priests looked at each other, and none of them expected the parliamentarians to be willing to budge.

"I'll be back with the kids."

Alana knew that if she said this, everyone wouldn't take it seriously, but she still had to say it.

"Let's go," Andreina said through the crowd.

Nock led Alana and Roy to the rooftop, silent all the way until he stopped when he was only three steps from the rooftop door.

"Alanna, did I never mention my sister to you?"

Alana was stunned, "Yes.

"Her name is Erin · Moore and she's seven years older than me. My parents died of illness when we were young, and my aunt brought us up, and after my aunt left, Erin went to school and worked part-time to support my education. 

Alanna didn't expect the world to be so small! Captain Nock and Teacher Erin don't look alike, and their personalities are very different.

So, the first time Erin heard that her captain was Nock, she had that reaction! However, why didn't Erin say that Nock was her brother? Didn't say you wanted to contact him?

"Later, I joined the Night Watchman, and she entered the Cult of Magic. Because they are all transcendental, they take it for granted that life still has a long time, but they don't expect that transcendent beings are as close to death as ordinary people.

Nock paused.

"Having said all this, I just want to tell you one thing. Don't forget that Theodore and Liz are waiting for you to get home.

Alanna's heart moved, and she replied gently, "Hmm."

Roy knew that Nock wasn't meant to him, but his nose was still sour. He didn't do what he promised Alana to take care of the two children last time, and this time he will do his best to make Alanna come home alive!

Walking up to the rooftop, the three people standing next to Pegasus were already impatient.

"Tsk, that's slow. But I don't understand what your fate will be. Stephen scoffed.

Alanna ignored it and walked over to one of the pegases, "I'm with Roy.

"Okay."

The three Pegasus were one for each of them, but now they were one for Stephen and Johnson, and Neosa alone, because no one wanted to sit with her crazy woman.

Pegasus flapped its wings and rose into the sky with a roar.

Nock stood on the edge of the rooftop, unmoved for a long time.

As the sun sets, the whole sky becomes a poetic oil painting. Gold, pink, and orange blend together to dye the clouds into colorful marshmallows.

A small white dot representing the hope of Yorktown is fading away.
