Otherworldly White Dragon Lord

Chapter 407: The Missing Maid

The two brothers squatted at the entrance of the street aroused a lot of attention from pedestrians. After all, Alphonse’s armor shape was too conspicuous. After reading the list, Edward hit Hatch, as if it was almost halfway through now. It's been a while, why didn't Tiya come out yet.

"Hey~ Al~ Didn't Tiya come out yet?"

"Not yet, brother~"

Alphonse stared at the door of the shop. Tiya hasn't come out after entering. Instead, a carriage drawn by a miscellaneous hair pulled out from the back of the shop and drove past them.

An hour later, Edward was already bored and started to use alchemy to make some trinkets to play.┉┉

Three hours later, Edward was already sleepy and wanted to talk.┉┉

Four hours later.Finally, Xiaodouzi's hair was fried, and he pulled his brother. Edward signaled to go shopping first, otherwise the store he frequented would be closed.┉┉

"Wait, brother, Tia hasn't come out yet!" Before seeing Tia, Alphonse looked worried, no matter how much Edward pulled it, it seemed as if he had rooted his feet.

Edward, who couldn't pull or push Alphonse, had to'begging' to an old mother: "Go Al, if you don't go, the store will close. Maybe Tiya has already left before we noticed. ."

Alphonse was opposed to this. Since just now, he has been observing the shop attentively. Unless the shop has a back door, Tiya will definitely be seen by himself as soon as he comes out.What kind of things can delay Tiya for four hours?Judging from the situation just now, Tiya doesn't seem to be going in to buy things either.

Al, who had a good impression of Tia, thought about it, ignoring the elder brother on the side and strode to the store. This anxious Edward quickly pulled Al and tried to stop it, but he was pulled together by Alphonse’s great power. Drag forward.

"Al what are you doing, if Miss Miria knows that we ran to the temple again, don't even think of getting the pocket money for the stabbing."

"I want to go and see┉┉"

Alphonse, who turned a deaf ear to Edward's dissuasion, walked outside the shop and looked inward. The shop was not very large, it seemed that it was a newly opened store, and the goods on the shelves were very scattered.In the shop, there was only a gloomy woman looking at the store, and there was no shadow of Tiya.

The female clerk appeared panicked when she saw the tall man in armor walking in. Soon the clerk hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sorry~ we are not open now. Please come in a few days."

"No, I don't want to buy something." Al hurriedly waved his hand.

"Really ┉┉ please leave, we are not open now."

The clerk's attitude that he just wanted to drive Alphonse out made Edward who followed up somewhat puzzled.After inspecting the store, Edward felt that something was wrong with the store. The goods on the shelves were scarce. Not to mention that many things seemed to be placed completely irregular. It is impossible for any store to make such an unsightly display. To describe it, it's as if it was placed so randomly just to deal with it.

At this time, Alphonse, who was worried about Tia, was still talking to the clerk: "That's it. A girl entered your store just now. She is our friend. We have been waiting for her but we haven't found out that she has come out. ┉┉"

When she heard these words, the female clerk flashed a fierce look in her eyes, but she quickly concealed the past: "I don't know. Please leave and we will close the store soon."

"But┉┉we just saw her come in here with another person┉┉"

"Please go out quickly. I told you I didn't know." The saleswoman seemed a little impatient and began to say in a urging tone.

Edward leaned over and hurriedly apologized with an apology, and pulled Al out of the shop.When the two brothers left, the female clerk seemed to be eager to close the store door, completely shutting them out.

Alphonse, who was pulled aside, scratched his head and looked at Edward in distress: "Brother~ I didn't find Tia, what should I do?"

"Really Al, you are still talking about Tiya at this time." Edward looked at his brother with an annoyed look and said, "Didn't you just notice that there was a problem with that store?"

"Why do you think so?"

Edward knocked Alphonse's head and surreptitiously stretched out his head to monitor the female clerk who was closing the shop: "Have you seen Tiya come out after watching it for so long?"

Alphonse nodded affirmatively. In a few hours, Alphonse hadn't slackened after looking at the shop for a second. After Tiya entered, he never came out and couldn't miss it.

After getting Alphonse's affirmative answer, Edward pondered for a while and whispered a few words quietly in Al's ear, and then the two brothers sneaked around behind the shop.I took a closer look at this shop and indeed there is no back door to a side door connected to the stables.But the side door is also connected to the street, unless Tia steps over the wall from behind, he will definitely be seen by Al who is guarding the front door.

"Sure enough, there is a problem with this store."

Edward pondered for a while and seemed entangled. Generally speaking, it is better to go to the temple to see something like this.If Tiya has already gone back, no matter how good it is, if he hasn't gone back much, he can let the priests of the temple know that their maid is missing.But if you just went straight to the temple like this, if Miria found it unfortunately, then he and Aldon’t say they got the pocket money, maybe they would be kicked back to the Janod Mountains.

Edward, who was embarrassed at both ends, suddenly heard the sound of the door, and hurriedly hid behind the stable with Alphonse and found that the gloomy female clerk in the shop came out. The woman looked around and squeezed the thing in her hand and quickly walked out. .After the woman left, Alphonse hurriedly pulled his brother.

"Brother~ That woman is holding Dia's bracelet!" The sharp-eyed Alphonse recognized at a glance that the woman holding in her hand was the only relic left to her by Dia's mother, although It's not a very expensive treasure, but it has an extraordinary commemorative significance for Tiya, who is usually worn on her hand almost without step.

"Al~ Are you sure you read it right?"

Tia once also showed the bracelet to Alphonse.Al nodded affirmatively.

There must be something wrong with Tiya!Edward and Al almost coincided with this idea in their minds, and then they quietly followed the female clerk in a tacit understanding.Before seeing Tiya, the two of them dared not scream.I have been cautiously following the female clerk to a meat processing workshop in Chengnan District. I saw the two brothers who were guarded by the door bypassing the back and used alchemy to open a door on the fence while no one was there and rushed in.

The processing workshop is not very big.Edward and Al crawled on the ground to judge their position in the workshop from the footsteps of the female clerk. Fortunately, the workshop seemed to be resting today.There was no other sound except the footsteps of the female shop assistant.After they wriggled for a distance like caterpillars, they found that the female clerk seemed to have entered a small room in the workshop, and Al, who could no longer hear the sound, began to feel anxious.

Fearing that Tia Alphonse couldn’t help but want to use alchemy to clear the way and rush in directly. Fortunately, Edward grabbed Al. After determining the position of the female clerk, Edward gently used alchemy on the wall. A secret pipe came out, and the whole pipe kept extending through the wall and into the wall of the room inside the workshop before it stopped.

Through this channel, the two of them moved their ears together, and soon some intermittent conversations came through.

There seems to be a second person talking in the workshop, and the sound has become blurred when it comes through the pipe because of the distance, but fortunately, I can roughly tell what the person inside is talking.

Hearing that Edward and Al were already in a cold sweat, the other party actually kidnapped Tia, and from the conversation inside, it seemed that she wanted to sacrifice Tia to a certain master!Alphonse stood up fiercely as if he was stimulated, and immediately activated alchemy with his hands together. Before Edward could stop the light of alchemy from shining, the wall collapsed like a sand pile , The rancid meat smell from the processing workshop came out, and Edward subconsciously pinched his nose.

Alphonse completely ignored the unpleasant smell. Regardless of the ground meat and blood, Alphonse rushed to the small room in the processing workshop like an unstoppable heavy tank.

"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from the room.

But before they had time to stand up and open the door, the two women in the room realized that the door had been kicked open with an extremely rude foot.With a loud noise, almost filled the door of the room with a tall figure and walked in.At this time, the female clerk in the room realized that the person who broke in was actually the armored man who had just come to the store to question the temple maid.

"Damn~ Tell me where you hid Tia!" Alphon looked at the two women in front of him with anger and shouted.(To be continued)

ps: sorry, it's a bit late
