The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

Surveillance

Feranelle's POV

I said to Dad You go home, Dad, I'll just finish sweeping the floor.

It's already midnight so we're closing the pub Aahh, all done! I'm ready to hit the sack. As soon as I went out, two men came walking towards me We're now close, come back tomorrow--

They suddenly grabbed and forcefully took me with them! Hey! What's the idea?! This ticked my box - I forcefully brought the man holding my left arm to me and gave him a headbutt that he cried out in pain and losing his grip on me, I immediately sent my left fist crashing to the jaw of the other man.

While he staggered, I held his head and sent my knee crashing to his face then cleanly kicked his head that knocked him out cold. I turned to the other man, who's desperately backing away from me Wait, please.

I popped my knuckles There's no 'wait, wait' now. I grabbed him by the collar and gave him a good night sleep with a cross to his jaw. Fortunately, two men, who are regulars in our pub, walked by Excuse me, can you help me? Two men came out of nowhere and tried to abduct me, can you bring them to the local authorities?

Of course, Miss Feranelle.

We tied them up and said to them before they left I'll give you two a free drink tomorrow night. One of them said That's a promise!

I walked a few steps when a tender pain became present on my head Ooww, my head!

Ordea's POV

We've been scouting Mr. Ayers' mansion for suspicious activities but it seems to be quite normal, I muttered to myself If they're smuggling something in there, what is it that they're smuggling? I saw a couple of horse carriages with the back covered which I saw many times now but never in the shadow of the night, I pulled my bookmark Kal', anything happening on your side?

Kaleid is observing the back of the mansion I don't know, it's quiet here that I'm falling asleep.

Hey, don't you fall asleep or I'll tell Chief you're slacking off!

He replied Okay, okay, I'm not! Geez, you're so hot-blooded. I saw the second carriage circling to the back Hey, Kaleid.

What now?!

A nerve twitched on my forehead I'm serious now, Kaleid! Don't give me that voice! I calmed down and asked Do you see a carriage circle back there? He didn't reply for a moment then said Yeah, is it strange? I've seen lots of them arrive during the day too.

Yeah, for me, in fact, these are the only ones with the back carriage covered so it's suspicious.

Kaleid thought better of it But it doesn't mean that it's those smuggled goods. I sighed Yeah, you're right, well, the only way to find out is to...you know what I'm thinking, right?

Yeah, infiltrating that place.

I remembered But Chief told us not act on our own. I heard him sigh Right, what a pain. I said to him But we can suggest to them to infiltrate the place tomorrow.

I kept the communication bookmark This thing is pretty useful, whoever made this is a genius. As soon as I fixed my eyes on the mansion, I saw a girl running out the front door and made a beeline for the gate! Several men came running out of the place and chased after her There she is, catch her! The girl barely reached the gate before the men grabbed and carried her back to the mansion, she's screaming Help!! Somebody, help!!!
