Chapter 179: Kidnapped Like That
Chapter 179: Kidnapped Like That
Sylvia's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't know what had caused her friend to faint, and she thought the poison from the needle wouldn't possibly cause anything to a Human Emperor's body...
This was indeed a sudden attack of things she didn't expect. Still, it didn't mean she had much experience either, basically...
However, what the Devil Princess had in mind was a broader matter than simple things. She thought her Human Emperor friend pretended to be unconscious on purpose to find out who was behind it all.
Plucked to the root or something like that, it was also nothing without careful consideration. Judging from the two attackers' intentions and the thief boy, Sylvia knew they had no killing intent...
So, because of that, Sylvia followed her friend's method by pretending to be fainting like an ordinary girl poisoned by sedative poison.
However, before that, she caught her friend first, and they fell to the ground together. Just before she closed her eyes to pretend to be fainting, she pulled out a tiny needle in her friend's neck to check for poison there.
After making sure all was well with the same trivial poison, she closed her eyes like a fainted girl. Followed her friend's unspoken plan.
Awful and late fainting mode, but it was not a problem for the perpetrator to make a fuss about it. They saw two beautiful girls who had passed out on the ground with big smiles behind their ninja face masks.
Their evil plan was successful. The two fake ninjas who had attacked from a hidden alley in the distance walked over to claim their two girls.
"Good job, Joe. You got them here." Bob crouched down to make sure the two girls were really passed out.
"That's my name, boss. I do any job. So, where's my pay? I've done what you asked." The thief boy asked with a proud expression.
"Your running talent is still the best. Here, take that. And this white Space Bag is also ours." Yaro handed over a pouch containing the promised money, but he also quickly snatched the white Space bag from the thief boy's hand.
"Hey, can't that be mine too? It's worth a few gold coins." Joe protested unhappily.
"Keke, you midget... Don't bite off what you can't chew. You don't want to get involved more than this. For the good of your old mother and your little sister, you better get out of here right away." Bob stood back up, giggling hoarsely.
"Tsk, fine. Don't get me involved in the trouble you guys will cause later. Just one glance, I know these two girls are not ordinary girls." Joe clicked his tongue. He also didn't want to get involved further than this. The risk was too huge for him to bear.
Some time ago, he was approached by two of his past adventurous acquaintances, and they offered him a dark job... And that was to lure two targets to an agreed point in a remote place.
He agreed after a brief bargain with them. All he knew, these two acquaintances wanted to kidnap two young girls for ransom from their father.
The rest, he didn't know and didn't want to know. He didn't want to get into big trouble when push comes to shove, not from aristocratic wrath. No one was willing to be sentenced to death by execution...
"Yes, your task is complete, and you are safe from this. Convey my greetings to your old mother and your little sister hahaha..." Yaro patted his friend's back.
Joe just snorted and walked away. However, when he passed the side of the two girls who were passed out, he whispered softly. "I'm sorry, young girl, I only do work for money. Blame the two people who targeted you."
After throwing away his little guilty, Joe fled from there with light steps. He could use magic, and he really wasn't a kid, just an ordinary adult, and a midget...
Sylvia heard all of it without missing a single thing. She also finally knew the two perpetrators who carried out the sneak attack and possibly this kidnapping plan.
Meanwhile, inside the Soul Realm, Elena was frantically shaking the Elysia spirit. "Ely, hurry up and get back to the Soul Realm! Your body is getting sedated!"
"Au .. Aa... Uu... Uaa... I'm here... Don't keep shaking my spirit. I'm dizzy..." Elysia's spirit opened her eyes.
"Uhh... My body is passed out, unconscious, and unable to move... Uhh, well... Now it's ok." Elysia easily purified her own body from within the Soul Realm.
Elena just looked a little confused and absent-minded… She certainly couldn't use magic inside the Soul Realm, but she could use it outside whether her spirit was still inside the Soul Realm or not.
She just panicked, and it was already night... She didn't think that way even though she could neutralize foreign substances that entered the body...
"Sorry, I just panicked when you fell and passed out..." Elena smiled apologetically.
"That's fine, Sister Elena. Now let me return to my body. I want to know why these two people are targeting Sylvia and me... I was also involved..." Elysia held Elena's hand with a smile. She immediately returned to her body after receiving a nod from her guardian angel.
In truth, Elysia's body had only fallen into a stupor for no more than a few seconds. Her body advanced auto-recovery worked quickly to destroy incoming foreign substances.
Elysia realized the perpetrators wanted to make them pass out. Even if there was no killing intent, that didn't mean she would surrender without retaliating back at the attacker.
It was just when she was about to fight back to bring down these three bad guys... Sylvia caught her body, and they fell together...
Could it be that this Devil Princess fainted from that light poison? Sylvia was a Devil Saint, different from her body that was still the same as an ordinary girl despite her tremendous magic...
Therefore, after Elysia returned to her body, she continued to faint but pretended to be. She had to find out more, and Elena would help.
"Yaro, help me tie them up. We have to quickly escape from here to a safe place. We can do whatever we want to them later." Bob took the rope from his backpack.
"Yeah, yeah..." Yaro no longer looked at the girl's body. He immediately helped his friend to continue their successful plan.
While they were tied up and held captive to kidnapping, Elysia and Sylvia just let it go for a while. Even though in their hearts, they were already planning a counter plan.
Elysia still hadn't noticed that the girl next to her was just pretending to be fainting. At the same time, Sylvia thought something different about her friend's state... And at that time, they only listened to the conversation between these two people who had bad intentions.
It was easy to find out these two people's identities... They were Bob and Yaro, two adventurers whose butt was kicked by Sylvia's father.
Although the guise was unclear, it seemed these two ordinary adventurers would kidnap them for money or something. Or maybe, something like revenge...
Elysia breathed a sigh of relief in her heart because her wild guesswork didn't prove right. No one was targeting the Devil Princess or anything complicated, but only two kidnappers with bad intentions to the two defenseless young girls for ransom...
After being tied tightly, the two of them were lifted and put on a closed horse carriage. The next moment, there was the sound of horse footsteps... They were being carried somewhere.
Elysia opened her eyes after the horse carriage moved forward. Apart from herself and Sylvia, there were only a few wooden boxes and a few bunches of straw around her.
At the same time, Sylvia also opened her eyes. The two girls who had pretended to faint, now looking at each other... Sylvia smiled as she rolled over, and Elysia just realized they were both pretending to be fainting...
"Psst, Ais. We're being kidnapped now?" Sylvia whispered when she arrived beside her friend.
Elysia desperately wanted to put her hand on her forehead, only she was still tied.
This Devil Princess asked that even though she already knew? And why with this innocent expression and cute smile? Only this jubilant girl could be like this when kidnapped.
If Elysia had known this from the start or realized sooner... There was no way she would have allowed her body to be touched by those two and tied up like this. It was hard for her to know the person who passed out, was sleeping, or just pretended to be fainting... Elena didn't know that either.
"Uhh, yes... And the only culprit is two people at the Intermediate level. I just got to check it out." Elysia answered helplessly.
"Yes, we were kidnapped. What will the kidnappers do to us, hmm... Who is the real mastermind behind this kidnapping? What is their main cover and purpose? Hmm, maybe this is a deep dark case... Do you want to investigate this and pull out from the roots, Ais?" Sylvia spoke like a detective.
Elysia was silent for a moment, and Elena was the same. Then, the former felt complicated and rested her head on the wooden floor. It seemed this Devil Princess had some ignorance about common sense.
