The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

It's not important, the important thing is, run away...

"Are you going to run away again?"

As if seeing through Ewenna's thoughts, Riber's voice sounded.

Ewenna, who had been disturbed, couldn't help but freeze her figure.

"You don't seem to know how humiliating your behavior was to a nobleman. You also don't know how far a nobleman can go to wash away this humiliation. I'm tired of it. A game of catching mice in the ditch. So, if you dare to disappear from my presence again, I will destroy the ditch itself. Whether it is the Knights or the Church of Light, they should be very happy, this area is full of The filthy city has since become clean."

For a moment, Ewenna, who heard the words, only felt that her whole body was gradually becoming cold.

She, who made an escape gesture earlier, twisted her already frozen body back with difficulty.

Looking at Riber's face, looking at the face that was so cold that it was almost not like a living person, she thought that the other party was serious.

"What's the matter? The door is over there."

"..."

Seeing that Riber didn't care about her escape at all, and even said such words provocatively, Ewenna realized more accurately that for an old nobleman, the act of preventing her from escaping and thoroughly cleaning the Nancheng District , perhaps really the same level.

It's not worth mentioning, and it can be done with a few casual words.

Evanna breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps, when she abandoned the first corpse and met this great nobleman, it was doomed that all her actions would fail...

"I... won't resist, so, before taking me away, can you give me some more time?"

After a long and helpless sigh of relief, Ewenna said so with a calm expression.

After giving up completely, she unexpectedly found that her body seemed to have become much lighter.

She hugged the potion she just took in her arms vigorously.

Only this matter was her only regret before being taken away by the earl.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

I saw that the earl's "housekeeper" suddenly jumped up and smashed a spherical object hard on the ground.

For a moment, strong light shone, and then a large amount of choking smoke filled the room.

At almost the same moment, Ewenna found herself being carried by someone.

"Ah...my medicine..."

The sudden change made Ewenna let go of her arms and spilled the things in her arms to the ground.

But beside her, there was an angry woman's voice,

"What medicine is not medicine, run away first!"

Hearing this voice, Ewenna was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly realized her true identity from the various actions of the other party.

"Are you...Sister Lysa?"

Just like that, in the chaotic scene, the strange thief Lysa quickly escaped with Ewenna.

...

...

Not long after, in an underground waterway connected to a hidden dark alley in the southern city, Lysa, who was out of breath, put down Ewenna, and then slumped on the ground exhausted.

"Ha...ha...ha..."

With the appearance of a middle-aged and elderly gentleman, Lysa panted with a young woman's voice, making the scene at this moment look extremely weird.

"Really...it's Sister Lysa? What, how? You were... no, you should have escaped from prison... huh?"

After confirming once again that the person in front of her was really the phantom thief Lysa she was familiar with, Ewenna held her head and held her forehead for a while, full of confusion and incomprehension, and really didn't understand what the current situation was.

"I...uh...I...um... Anyway, let's run away together! Evanna!"

Lysa, who wanted to explain something, said "Abaaaba" a few times, and found that she couldn't explain the current situation for a while.

Everything started when she chased after Ewenna who left suddenly and cut off the news.

She came to Greenwater City and confirmed that Ewenna was in the city, but there was no way to find her.Moreover, even if she stole the pointer of the clock tower and left a mark, Ewenna still didn't take the initiative to come to her.

But when she was at a loss, a "Detective Earl" suddenly appeared in the city.

After learning more about it, Lysa actually discovered that the "dismemberer" who had kidnapped the count and had made a big feud with the count was most likely Ewenna who had been missing for a long time.

Hence, Lysa tried to trick the other party to focus on herself at the commendation banquet held for the Earl, so that the situation facing Ewenna would not be so dangerous.

In the end, she was caught by the earl instead...

Due to the ability of the earl to see through the disguise, he is too powerful and restrains the phantom thieves too much.

So, after escaping from prison, Lysa decided to hide by the earl's side.On the one hand, it is to investigate the specifics of this ability, and on the other hand, it is to protect Yi Wenna.

Then, inexplicably, it evolved into a cooperative relationship between her, the detective and the earl.After exchanging information with each other, they quickly located Ewenna's trail.

at last...

It is now.

From the earl's words, Lysa also heard the "seriousness" of the other party.Moreover, it was the first time that he realized how powerful a nobleman Riber was, and his resentment towards Ywenna was definitely not limited to "curiosity".

Therefore, she judged that her junior should never fall into the earl's hands, and resolutely turned her back.

just,

How can such a tortuous experience, as well as the complicated, bizarre and somewhat inexplicable relationship between her and Chris and Riber, be explained clearly in a few words?

Rather, she still doesn't understand how things developed into what they are now.

so...

"In short, let's run away! Go back to the 'cradle' together, and never return to this city again."

Lysa said urgently.

On the one hand, Lysa was worried about Ewenna.On the other hand, she was really a little afraid of the "detective" and "earl" who had manipulated her to death during the short time they spent together these few days.Especially the latter, until now Lysa would break out in a cold sweat whenever she thought of the look in Liber's eyes when she glared at her.

"It's impossible to just go back, right? Besides, I'll go back to that earl..."

Yiwenna frowned while tearing off the severely deformed mimic mask on her face.

"why?"

"What's the reason? Didn't Sister Lysa hear that too? If I escape again, that earl will attack the entire Nancheng District. I can't implicate so many innocent people."

"They have nothing to do with us!"

After speaking, Lysa saw Ewenna's menacing expression, and knew that her persuasion method would not work.

"No, it's okay... I'm actually quite familiar with Ri and Riber. He just looks fierce, but he's usually a nice guy... He's just curious about you and doesn't want you He escaped, so he said that on purpose. He won’t really do that. Moreover, no matter how noble he is, it’s impossible for him to destroy a city’s district at once. With so many people watching, once his atrocities are exposed, It is impossible to gain a foothold in the kingdom."

"How about a big fire? An 'unfortunate' fire, under the circumstances of improper handling, burned the entire southern city. The Knights are still incompetent, and the Church of Light is still deeply regretful. Everything is a disaster in the dry autumn. A sad accident that happened in the

"Well..."

"Besides, since, as Sister Lysa said, the earl is actually a good person, and he is only curious about me. So that's enough to satisfy his curiosity? If he can find me once, he can find me twice. times, three times. Instead of being entangled by him all the time, it is better to find a way to make him give up now."

Evanna said with a sigh.

"Uh, no...that's not what it means. Pretending! Yes. He usually just pretends to be a good person, but in fact he is very dark inside, so you, you can't fall into his hands."

Seeing that her persuasion seemed to be counterproductive, Lysa quickly changed her words.

"Then shouldn't I go back? If he is really as insidious as you said, he might be angry at Nancheng District by now."

"me..."

Lysa was also bewildered by the words.

Feelings, whether Riber is a "good guy" or a "bad guy", Evanna must go back?

Then what is she trying to do all this time...

"Sister Lysa, you are as stupid as ever."

"That's why I don't want to involve you..."

Still mixed with a sigh, Ewenna said.Her speech was divided into two paragraphs, and the second half was more like a whisper to herself, and Lysa didn't hear it.

"You, who are you calling stupid? Who do you think it is for? I...I..."

"It's not that I asked you to do this."

"You... you you you... I, I will ignore you from now on!"

"Please."

Straightening her body and dusting herself off, Ewenna began to return to her hut that had been occupied by people along the way she came.

On the other hand, Lysa was paralyzed on the ground, as if she had made up her mind, she would fight well.Then, in the end, he still got up and followed in a desperate manner.

"Then, that Ewenna, can we not go back... Going back in front of them like this, my position will be very embarrassing."

"Since their target was me from the beginning. And sister Lysa, if they are just looking for the props I need, now that they have fulfilled their purpose, isn't there no need for sister Lysa to go back?"

Casting a glance at Lysa, Ewenna said sharply.

"Yes, yes... But, heck, I'll go back anyway. Because I still have to protect you from them!"

Ewenna turned her head, looked at Lysa who could still utter these embarrassing words with confidence, and looked at the second sister who hadn't realized that she was still wearing a disguise, walking quickly without knowing it It became a little more soothing, and the hostility on his face began to dissipate slightly.

"'Teacher', sister Brie and Gucci, are they okay?"

"They are very energetic. The eldest sister wrote to scold me yesterday."

Thinking of the disaster she caused, which caused the Knights to know that the "Phantom Thief" was actually a multi-person group, Lysa scratched her face with a guilty conscience.

I can't tell Yi Wenna about this, otherwise she will be scolded again.

"yes..."

Regarding the fact that the eldest sister of the Phantom Thieves often scolded the second sister, Ewenna, who had long been used to it, responded softly.

Now that more than a year has passed, Ewenna can hardly recall the mood when she decided to sever ties with "Cradle".

Do you not want to involve these people who are like relatives in your own troubles?

Is it for the sake of not implicating the "Phantom Thieves" when he is judged?

still...

"Sister Lysa, since you have had several contacts with that earl, let's talk about him."

"He, like that 'detective', is a monster who can read people's hearts!"

Lysa said with lingering fear.

"Is that an exaggeration? And 'Detective' is?"

"It's the consultant detective hired by the Knights. He was there when you hijacked the Earl. Wasn't he there just now?"

"..."

?

? ? ? ? ?

...

While chatting casually, Lysa and Ewenna walked towards the entrance of the underground waterway.

Until, when they were about to arrive, the two stopped at the same time.

Looking at each other, Lysa and Ewenna also saw the solemnity on each other's faces.

"Strange...how was...discovered..."

A figure stepped out from the surrounding shadows, bathed in the moonlight shining from the entrance of the underground waterway.

This middle-aged man, who sounded like a broken music box, was tall and tall, wearing a black windbreaker. The central axis of his body was bent strangely, and his neck was twisted to the point where his profile was almost parallel to his shoulders.

"Compared to...these...then, that lady...you, your hair color is so... so beautiful. So, can...can you give me a bunch...? "

The middle-aged man opened his bloodshot muddy eyes and smiled ferociously, showing his scorched teeth. He took out two large scissors from the pockets on both sides of the windbreaker.

"run!"

Lysa pulled up Ewenna without hesitation, then turned and fled.
