Coco is just a child...even an orc of low status.

Although the girl was a little surprised, she still accepted the scene.

"What did you do?" Coco asked repeatedly, looking behind the girl at Lily who was curled up on the ground.

"——Heh." The girl smiled lazily:

"Didn't you do something like this? Like this - tying your companion roughly to a pillar without caring about the pain he was suffering?"

The girl moved away.

What was exposed to Coco's sight was Lily's petite body lying on the ground, curled up and twitching in pain.

181. Close Combat

The petite girl...just as Coco expected, she stayed where she was and didn't move.

The rope in his hand was also tied to the pillar firmly.

...It was just that the other person was twitching in pain... Obviously, he was not "well" as Coco thought.

"What... is going on?" Coco quickly ran to Lily who was lying on the ground.

His hands shook Lily's little body in a panic.

But the touch at this moment only made Lily feel more painful.

"What's wrong? Hey, what's wrong with you?!..."

Lily's injuries were not noticeable anywhere.

However, there was no doubt that he was feeling pain.

Coco was at her wit's end, her voice even becoming a little hoarse and intermittent due to panic.

"What should I do... What should I do..."

"Let her go first, what else do you want to do?"

The lazy voice, with a hint of indignation, finally sobered Coco up a little.

He quickly pulled the rope on the girl's wrist, but for some reason it became tighter and tighter, and the pain on the girl's face became more and more intense.

He finally reacted and used a knife to cut and tear it hard.

Throw the broken rope away fiercely.

For some reason, the painful look on Lily's face finally seemed to fade a little.

Just lying on the ground, still not getting up.

"Hello? What happened?!..."

Coco shook Lily on the ground in panic again.

However, this time, the painful convulsions finally stopped.

After taking a few deep breaths, the petite body finally slowly opened its eyes.

"No, are you okay?!..."

Lily raised her eyes with some difficulty.

Only the remaining tears were still flickering in the half-open eyes.

"Ouch..." The voice was a little hoarse and even unclear.

But Keke knew that he was calling her, and her heart tightened for some reason.

"You...are back..."

"It's okay... I'm glad you're okay..."

Coco hugged Lily's petite body tightly.

He buried his head in Lily's shoulder.

Her lips were tightly pursed, as if she was suppressing the urge to cry.

"You made me... so scared..." Coco said: "...big...idiot..."

It seemed that only at times like this would this little orc reveal some genuine emotions.

Lily struggled a little.

But he seemed to be tired and stopped after struggling for a while.

Two little figures hugged each other like this.

The somewhat lazy girl just scratched the slightly messy hair on the back of her head and sighed to herself.

It seems that these two people are good friends - but because of some misunderstanding, they hurt each other.

Maybe I am also one of the people who have been misunderstood.

But the identities of these two people are still unknown. After all, the black-haired girl looks like a slave.

Rather... there are more mysteries than I imagined.

About the source of the girl’s pain just now.

This girl even had some vague guesses that seemed unlikely the moment she thought about them.

That slave girl, the wound on her broken arm—

Don't know what that is though.

But it was definitely not an ordinary cut on the arm.

Rather, it is more essential.

Something that even I cannot resist at all——

But on a girl, quietly...

Suddenly Coco's ears moved slightly.

Even the girl raised her head slightly.

The sound is getting closer...

That is--

Coco threw Lily aside and stood in front of Lily——

"boom--"

The broken wooden roof was filled with debris, and the next moment a big hole appeared!

Two men jumped down from the roof with long knives in their hands, and the blades slashed at Coco and the strange girl respectively!

"clang--"

Amid the long metallic trembling, Coco, who was standing in front of Lily, fiercely blocked the opponent's sudden attack with her small bayonet.

Even so, Coco's knife almost slipped out of her hand under such force. At the same time, Coco hurriedly kicked to create distance, but the man in mid-air simply used the force to twist his body and easily avoided it.

However, he did not pursue. Instead, he took two steps back, retracted his sword into his waist, and waited for the next attack.

Then came the heavy downpour, which poured through the hole and into the house.

There was a brief silence.

Noticing the expressions of the two people, Coco's eyes widened:

"you……"

"Just now... you didn't really think that little trap could lure us away, did you?" The man curled his lips.

These two men... were two of the men that Coco had led away with the hint magic left by Ai'er.

In fact, even Coco had some difficulty finding these two men.

I originally thought that the use of hint magic had worked...these two men had clearly left.

But now, it's gone and coming back.

"We admit that your magic is a bit troublesome. It took us a while to react." The man said, "But we are different from those people. Since we are a professional killer, we need to be on guard against any kind of magic."

That is to say, in this respect, these two men are professionals among human beings.

They are assassins who specialize in hunting magicians.

"The magic failed to hide your figures, but instead provided us with clues." The man turned his gaze to the strange girl:

"I finally caught you, Miss Yardi."

Coco turned her gaze in surprise to the strange girl.

That is to say...

This group of men trudged through the jungle and outflanked their target.

It was no one else. Probably, it was this lazy-looking girl.

Coco gritted her teeth in hatred.

Lily and I were completely dragged into it. We even blocked a knife for no apparent reason...

Not happy, very unhappy!

The girl didn't comment, but instead looked a little sleepy and lazy - she didn't know if it was intentional, but she yawned.

"I didn't expect... that you have your own accomplice. Before, you couldn't have done it without the help of this accomplice. No wonder... you could run so fast." The man said: "That's right... after all, you are a person assisting the royal family. How could you not have some power in private?"

"You are wrong." The girl replied, "They have nothing to do with me."

"Are you eager to distance yourself from your companions and try to let them escape? How touching. But I'm sorry... Even a stranger who saw this scene would have no chance of surviving."

The girl sighed, feeling helpless and a little annoyed.

"Now that we've caught you - it's a pity. But the only outcome for you is death." The man was interrupted by the girl.

"Wrong. Absolutely, totally wrong."
