PFC Chapter 367 Fishing Law Enforcement
Chapter 367 Fishing Law Enforcement
"Is that... the devil...?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment by this sudden change. When had they ever seen Lilith being humiliated? After a long while, Lulu finally found her voice and asked.
"There are demons in the Gaia Empire?" Hannah's face was full of surprise.
"What a devil! Thief! That's a thief!!" Lilith jumped up from the ground and stomped her feet in anger.
"Forget it, it's just a sword--" Lucas tried to comfort Lilith.
"Ha! That's easy for you to say! I usually don't want to throw away any scraps I pick up. My cold steel is not much more precious than your toad eggs and porcupine quills!" Lilith was so anxious that she was spinning in circles with nowhere to vent her anger. She glared at Lucas angrily.
Lucas clicked his tongue and dared not speak.
"Shameless----!! Scum----!! Morally corrupt----!" Lilith suspected that the other party might be hiding in the dark, and shouted angrily into the forest.
But no one responded, only the birds were startled by her and flew away chirping.
"Why did you steal my sword?" Lilith was depressed and had no way to relieve herself, so she turned around and complained to her friends.
"It's really interesting, look at everyone--" Lucas spread his arms and turned around lazily to show off.
They had been in this Shadow Locke for nearly half a month and had just gone through two consecutive battles. Everyone was covered in dust and tatters, looking not much better than homeless people.
"Everyone's loot and luggage are stored in the storage ring. The only thing worth stealing is the weapon, right? Among them, yours is the most expensive." Lucas understood the thief's choice.
"Well, it's a good opportunity for you to use more magic. You're always at the front, making us guardians look stupid, okay?" Bobby came over and patted Lilith's shoulder as a consolation.
Lilith was speechless for a while, then sat down on the ground dejectedly.
No one knew where the black hole led to. Lilith frowned in annoyance, but after a while, she stood up again and looked around.
"Let's set up camp first. This time I will help you build the Rainbow Light Wall."
"You must have an idea, right?" When the rainbow wall of magic lit up with changing lights, blocking out the outside world from prying eyes, Lucas immediately came over and asked in a low voice with a wink.
Lilith glared at him, but finally nodded, "I just got a clue—"
"There must be more than one team in Shadow Locke. At least Senior Hall must have made a lot of gains. But she has set her sights on us. There is no doubt that she thinks we are younger and therefore weaker." Lilith couldn't help but curl her lips as she spoke - even thieves would look at the person they are dealing with, how hateful!
"Moreover, she ran away as soon as she succeeded, and attacked only to get away. I think she may not be very strong. The black hole that she can enter and exit freely may be the only escape spell she knows." Jaina walked over and said slowly after thinking.
"I think so too." Lilith felt that if she faced off head-on, she might be able to defeat the girl who looked thinner than her, but the question was, where could she find her?
She thought about it and stretched out her palm. A pile of colorful gemstone jewelry appeared on her palm. The gemstones looked even more dazzling under the refraction of the outdoor sunlight.
"What are you doing?" Lucas' eyes seemed to be sucked in.
"Isn't it obvious?" Lilith put on all the colorful gemstone jewelry that Leila prepared for her, including five necklaces.
"——I want to fish for law enforcement!"
"Ah?" Hearing this nonsense, Lucas's head, which was already dizzy from the gem, became even more confused, and he asked a fearless question, "But aren't you not good at fishing?"
Lilith: ...
"Don't lick your lips when you sleep at night. I'm afraid you'll poison yourself!"
………………
Unexpectedly, Lucas' words came true. In the following days, Lilith walked around with the big gem for a few more days, but the little thief never showed up.
"Why - why -" Lilith lay on the huge spider web, lying in a big letter shape.
They didn't catch the fish they wanted, but they did catch a lot of monsters. Today they finally got rid of a broodmother spider as big as a cow. Lily, who was caught, was not panicked at all. She treated other people's hunting grounds as a hammock, and continued to complain while swinging.
"You still don't understand these craftsmen, Lilith." Lucas, who was used to seeing petty thefts, came over and cut the spider web with a sword, then turned over the pile of bones on the ground to see if there was anything valuable.
"What do you mean?" The largest spider web was cut by Lucas' sword, and its structure was no longer stable. Lilith jumped down depressed and cleaned up the battlefield with everyone else.
"If you steal something, you have to sell it."
"W-what-?!" Lilith was in no mood to clean up the battlefield. "Are you saying she will sell my sword?"
"What else?" Lucas said matter-of-factly. "Of course, she is still a little too young. Right now, the richest person in the entire Shadow Locke is probably——"
He exaggeratedly raised his arms and rotated them inwards twice, then bowed gracefully.
"It's our Miss Lilith!"
Lilith's face darkened, "I wouldn't spend money on stolen goods! They were originally mine!"
"That's the best case scenario. Maybe he's already sold it, and is now drinking wine in a tavern in some border town, laughing at you. Oh—"
Lucas, who was making sarcastic remarks, was kicked away by Lilith.
"Where will she go to sell the stolen goods..." Without the sword, Lilith could only pick up a thick branch and roll up the huge spider web with Lulu. This thing can be used to make many kinds of magic potions. It is very precious and cannot be wasted.
"Forget it, Lilith." Lulu comforted her while folding the spider web with her, "We can explain the situation to Miss Leila together with you. She will definitely not blame you."
She knew that Lilith cared more about this than the value of the sword.
"I understand..." Lilith lowered her voice and leaned against the tree behind her. "It's just that the sword has a different meaning..."
It was from it that she started to embark on the path of dual cultivation of sword and demon. Even if it retired, it should have been cut off on the battlefield instead of being stolen by a petty thief.
"Kara."
Just when Lilith was feeling sad, she heard a tiny, light metal collision sound... from behind her!
Lilith wanted to turn around, but was caught by the silver chain around her neck. Someone was holding her necklace tightly. Lilith didn't hesitate for a moment and reached back like lightning.
Lulu, who was facing her, only saw Lilith's face suddenly change and she pulled the necklace around her neck and twisted her body, while a black shadow appeared on the big tree behind her!
"Ah--" Lulu only had time to let out a short cry of surprise before she saw Lilith pull out a thin hand, followed by the head, then the body, and the legs. She almost pulled out the thief's entire body!
"Devil, give me back my sword!"
——It was indeed that familiar face and the familiar black horns. Lilith didn't even bother to cheer for her successful fishing. She shouted while trying hard.
The devil girl was caught in the act, a look of panic flashed across her face, and then she gave up her strength and threw herself on Lilith and hugged her.
This scene was very strange, as if a puppet had grown on the tree, and the puppet was climbing on a person, which made Lulu shudder. She saw the puppet opened its mouth——
"Sister, you're so mean. I'm just too hungry and want to get something to eat to fill my stomach." Her voice was so miserable that Lilith, who was "pulling carrots", paused for a second.
"——Also, I'm not a devil." Her bright yellow pupils reflected the gem on Lilith's neck.
"I'm a tiefling!"
With a soft "click" sound, all the necklaces around Lilith's neck broke.
