The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Ilsa pointed to her head.

"I will."

Lisha understood what Ilsa meant, which was for her to ask Youze more about everything.

Chapter 111: Race against time

Lisha left the Breath of Dragon.

She headed straight for the Clan Forest.

After contacting some of Olivia's subordinates, Cirilla and Freya stayed in the Dragon's Breath, waiting for their news at any time.

Ilsa, Merillu and Alan first went to Bestie's shop and asked Bestie to help mobilize her men to look for Lucy.

The current Bestie is no longer the poor little cat shop owner. With the help of Olivia and the planning of Shiriya, she successfully expanded her shop a lot and even opened two branches.

The shop assistants in the three stores were all Olivia's former subordinates or people who had been helped by Olivia. They also knew a lot of people on the commercial street, so when Ilsa and others came for help, Bestie acted quickly and efficiently.

Soon they found some traces.

But it wasn't Lucy's, it was Thaz's trace.

They found the inn where Thads was staying.

Ilsa discussed it with Merilu and Ailan, and finally decided to stay here and personally monitor the whereabouts of Saz.

They have confirmed with the hotel waiter that Sas is indeed in the room.

So the three of them booked a room in a hotel not far away opposite. This room happened to be able to observe the window of Saz's room. Although they could not see the specific situation inside, they could still tell whether there was anyone inside.

As for finding Lucy, it would be better to leave it to the people in the commercial street. After all, they are the ones who are truly familiar with White Stone Town.

On the other side, Lisha entered the Clan Forest while listening to Yuze's words.

Her destination is the depths of the Clan Forest, which is the easiest place to get lost, but also the most secretive place.

In the past, there were even many criminals hiding here, but later, because they killed many novice adventurers, the Adventurer's Guild and the Patra Empire joined forces to wipe them out.

"Lisha, you have to remember that your goal is to rescue Lucy, not to fight with Thazz. Do you understand?"

Yuze said in a serious tone in Lisha's mind.

"I see!"

Lisha answered while looking around.

She had now begun to go deeper into the Cranda Forest.

This is already a relatively unpopulated place. After all, true novice adventurers cannot reach here, and veterans do not need to come here because the danger level here is relatively high for them. It is not appropriate for them to come here, and they cannot obtain more precious materials.

"The first time you see Thaz, don't hesitate. If Lucy is there, run straight to Lucy. If Lucy is not there, run as fast as you can."

Youze knew that Lixia now had the strength to fight with the Gold Rank for two or three times, but that was all. Even if Lixia had the half-level upgrade brought by the hero's ability, it was only a stronger Silver Rank, not the real Gold Rank, not to mention that she was still far away from the Gold Rank, at least one awakening ceremony away.

"If you really can't save Lucy, you must not fight with Thads. You will have the means and strength to deal with him in the future."

"I know."

Lisha nodded.

She knew everything You Ze said.

Lisha scanned the forest, searching for any suspicious traces.

......

Somewhere deep in the Cranda Forest.

Thaz sat on the rock with a relaxed smile on his face.

Not far in front of him, Lucy was lying on the brand new altar.

Lucy lay motionless, as if dead.

But she didn't die.

There were bruises on Lucy's face, apparently she was beaten again.

There were also several scratches on her new clothes, as if they were caused by dragging.

"This is where you will be buried. What do you think, my lovely little Lucy?"

Thaz jumped down from the rock, walked to the altar and gazed at his niece.

"I don't know, uncle."

Lucy couldn't understand what Thad was thinking.

She just lay there as Thaz said.

"do not know?"

Saz punched Lucy on the forearm, and this punch directly bent Lucy's forearm into a terrible shape.

"Do you know now?"

Saz's expression was more ferocious than ever before, like a vicious beast about to devour someone.

“Yes, it hurts.”

Cold sweat broke out on Lucy's forehead, but she did not cry out in pain. Instead, she answered Saz's questions calmly.

"You're going to die, did you know that?!"

Saz's bloodshot eyes stared fiercely into Lucy's.

He wanted to see fear and terror in this.

But no, nothing.

Lucy just looked at him calmly.

"Whoo~"

Thaz suddenly lost his temper.

He leaned against the armrest of the altar, letting his body slowly slide down until he finally sat on the ground.

"Everyone says I'm a cold-blooded monster, but I think you're the real monster."

Saz was filled with frustration.

He thought of Norma again, the woman he had always wanted but could not get, the woman who finally chose to marry his younger brother Saler, the fool who resolutely followed Saler after knowing his death.

"Little Lucy, do you know? In fact, the reason why your mother wanted to kill you was because she foresaw the current situation! ~~Hehehe~~~"

Thaz's twisted smile was exactly like the smile that a monster in human form would show when it was exposed in a bard's story. It was a twisted smile that would scare a child to tears.

"But should we say you are lucky or unlucky? Because your heart is located in a different position than normal people, you are lucky to not die even after a sword pierced your chest, right? But it's a pity that you met a scumbag like me!!"

Saz suddenly stood up, dancing like a madman, and twisting his body as if he had gone completely mad.

"But, but why didn't you die? If you died, those people would be obedient and they wouldn't die. My stupid father actually wanted me to temporarily take over as the head of the family and return the position of head of the family to you when you come of age. Is he crazy?! There should be a limit to loving someone and loving his dog too, right?!!"

As Saz was talking, he suddenly lay down on the altar and stared into Lucy's eyes.

"You really look like your mother. Your eyes are just like your mother's."

Sas looked at Lucy with infatuated eyes. No, to be more precise, he looked at those eyes.

"But why can't you just look at me? Norma~~"

"Why are you looking at him, at my genius little brother?!"

Saz pinched Lucy's cheek with one hand, squeezing her face so hard that it almost crushed her skull.

"Tell me!! Why!!! Why are you all just looking at him!!!"

He was crazy, he couldn't accept it.

"Uh, I don't know."

Lucy, whose bones were being squeezed and creaked, made a muffled sound.

"what!!!"

Thaz threw Lucy off the altar with a flick of his hand.

Chapter 112 Madness and Encounter

"How could you not know?! How could you not know?!!"

Sas scratched his head vigorously, making his hair extremely messy and even pulling a lot of hair out. His originally handsome appearance now became extremely decadent and gloomy.

Saz walked up to Lucy who had fallen to the ground, picked her up with one hand, and strangled her.

Without any regard for the fact that such rough treatment would most likely break Lucy's neck.

"Tell me you know."

Saz spoke softly to Lucy, his voice gentle as that of a loving elder.

"..."

Lucy's face flushed red and she couldn't speak.

But Lucy didn't struggle at all, and she didn't even move her hands and feet subconsciously.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot you couldn't talk like this."

Saz apologized to Lucy embarrassedly, then threw Lucy heavily onto the altar.

"Cough cough!!"

Lucy spat out a mouthful of blood, probably because something in her mouth was bitten.

Her body suffered a severe shock and many of her internal organs were damaged.

"Can we talk now?"

"I do not know."

Lucy answered truthfully.

She had no idea what her mother was thinking.

She was only seven years old at that time, and now her memories and impressions of her parents are vague.

She only remembered her mother as a soft-spoken person and her father as someone who would play with her.

"Ah, I don't know again."

Thads looked like he was about to explode.

"I beg you, can you please know?"

Saz suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lucy.

"Tell me, you know, tell me! You know it right?!"

Thaz kowtowed so hard that a hole was made in the hard ground. His forehead was covered with dry mud, but Thaz didn't care. He just wanted to know the answer.

"Tell me, tell me..."

Thaz muttered, the madness in his eyes becoming clearer.

"What do you want to know?"

Lucy sat up from the altar. She sat there with her lifeless eyes, giving people an inexplicable sense of weirdness.

Although he looks so embarrassed, he feels that this is how it should be and it is a very normal situation.

"Tell me Norma loved me!!!"

Thaz roared, clutching Lucy's shoulders tightly with both hands.

"No."

Lucy spoke the cold truth.

"Norma never loved you. She never even had any feelings for you, because she knew your true nature and what kind of scumbag you were."

"Impossible!!! I don't believe it!!!"
