Volume Two, Chapter 48

In the office in the afternoon, the sunshine in winter is always so comfortable. Scott lay flat on the sofa, sipping hot coffee, enjoying this hard-won nap time.

As the largest port city in the east, Alenias is not affected by the war and continues to fulfill the trade obligations of the seaport city, which is really a rare thing. Whenever the foreigners from the small island on the boat inquired about the war situation on the mainland, Scott, the chief of the security department, felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond to them.

Still, they are right to be concerned. Although Alainias was not affected by the flames of war, the cities close to the forest country were in bad luck. The enemy fighting humans this time is not a thin and short goblin, but a smart and wise high elf. They are good at archery, and they have magical talents far beyond human beings.

The forest country is sparsely populated, but the quality of their soldiers is far superior to the soldiers of the United Human Army. It takes almost a dozen human soldiers to kill a well-trained high elf warrior. This is also the reason why even in the face of a large number of people, the army of the elves still does not lose the wind in the face of the human coalition forces of the whole continent, and even has a faint tendency to counterattack. After three years of tragic war of attrition, the human coalition army suffered countless casualties, but the attrition rate of the elf warriors in the forest country was not high.

At this time, the door was politely knocked twice. Afterwards, a young man with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes walked into the room with a letter.

"Mr. Scott, here is a letter." The young man said lightly.

"Huh? Put it on the table, I'll check it later." Scott said in a dismissive tone.

"But..." The man looked hesitant, and he frowned, "This letter seems to be very important..."

"Didn't you hear me? Put it down, and then, get out." This time, Scott said directly in a warning voice.

"……yes……"

The man bowed respectfully, and then threw the envelope on the table where the documents had already piled up into a hill. In fact, Scott has not dealt with official business for a long time. Because in the past three years since the elves declared war, most of the letters were from the church asking about the recent situation of the castellan of Alenias, and... asking whether the long-lost maid, Sakuya, had appeared in Alenias within the territory. For a long time, Scott had lost interest in these aggressive letters and simply ignored them. I thought that the group of church members would give up if they were left in the cold for a while, but at this moment, another letter was sent.

Scott stretched, then stood up. He took out the topmost letter from the document mountain, blinked his eyes, and thought about what kind of tricks the church members were going to do this time, but his confused eyes suddenly widened, Even the mouth parted slightly in surprise.

Scott saw a familiar name and a familiar signature on the letter.

To Lord Camsin—

Sakuya, respect.

The signer of this letter was Sakuya who disappeared before the declaration of war.

For three years, there has been no news of this maid. Scott thought she had died in Rajache City, but he did not expect that she would choose to send the letter at this time.

Scott stabilized his trembling hands, tore off the wax seal, and took out the letter. Juanxiu's note above allowed Scott to identify the true identity of the letter.

"That's right! It must be me!"

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, Scott also restrained the expression on his face. He was thinking, why did Sakuya choose to send the letter at this time three years later? And...why do people from the church have such a great interest in Sakuya?

Although the Church kept silent about Miss Vanilla and the maid, Scott and the Santo had already noticed it, thinking about the possibility of the Church doing so.

Anyway, let's read the content of the letter first.

Thinking of this, Scott unfolded the letter paper, facing the light source, and read the words on it. In an instant, the image of a dedicated maid appeared on the paper.

Sakuya in the letter pointed out the fact that the Church of Illuminati hijacked Vanilla, and she hoped that Lord Kamsin would send troops to save Vanilla. However, this is just a selfish expectation of one person after all. Sakuya is very clear that with her current suspicious status, Master Kamusing will never trust him. Although she hopes that Kamusing will send troops, she knows that Kamusing will never do so, so... as a maid , she has to find a way to rescue Master Vanilla by herself.

This letter is also equivalent to a suicide note expressing ambition.

Scott closed the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope. He wants to give this letter to the city lord Kamsin.

……

Although it is winter, Alenias, a port city, never freezes. Compared to the city where Sakuya fled before, it is very warm here. Walking on the familiar streets of Alainias, she couldn't help sobbing a little. I still remember that a few years ago, he walked on this street with the false saint who was replaced by the Lord Demon God. At that time, the crowd hated him as a notorious thief. She stroked her face, as if she was still remembering the feeling of being hit by a rotten tomato on her face, and the juice was scattered.

One thing that is different from the past is that now Jim wears the skin of the maid Sakuya and uses her body; but... it seems to be a little bit the same. Jim and Sakuya, the identities of these two human beings are not visible, they can only live in the dark.

Putting her hand back under the cloak, Sakuya took a deep breath. Everything has become a thing of the past, after sending that letter, she is free to do what she wants to do.

And now, the only thing Sakuya wants to do is to take a look at this hometown that she hasn't seen for many years.

Whether it's her as Sakuya, or him as Thief Jim, this is the most intimate place for her.

The three years of living in exile with anonymity made Sakuya a little lost. She went back and forth in various cities to avoid being wanted by the church. Although she could enter and leave the border defense line of the United Human Army at will with her skill, but out of the protection of the arrogant lord, she could not take the risk of being exposed and seek refuge with the false elf queen. During her exile, she also thought about taking off Sakuya's skin and becoming that heartless thief Jim again. It's just to survive, stealing, robbing and cheating, these jobs are already familiar to him, not to mention that this is a chaotic world during the war, as long as he goes to those cities with chaotic management, I believe he will never worry about food and clothing. But... once a person has tasted the taste of having a heart, he will never be able to live without it. Now, the heart beating in her chest belonged to the maid Sakuya.

Thief Jim, with Sakuya's personality and heart, was reborn and became a real person. Let her lose this emotion, lose this body, and go back to the muddle-headed life, it is better to kill him directly.

Thinking of this, Sakuya who was wearing a thick cloak smiled bitterly. She caressed her chest, obviously he, a despicable robber, put on Sakuya's skin and deliberately replaced her appearance, but now, his every move is more and more like the one who is meticulous in everything and treats everything with all his heart Dutiful maid.

"Sir, would you like something?"

Sakuya stopped in her tracks. Her current attire is very strict, and it is very normal for her to be called Mister. However, it was the familiar voice that stopped her at the risk of being discovered.

She tugged the hood down, then turned around. Looking past the old shopkeeper, Sakuya looked at the sign hanging on it.

She read the three words with a trembling voice: "Accessories... shop...?"

The personality that was Jim in his mind was reawakened. Sakuya recalled that first day.

At that time, she was Alainias' famous thief Jim. The last thing she did before she surrendered to the Demon God was to rob the jewelry store. Unexpectedly, after so many years, this store is still open here.

It's as if nothing has changed.

"Oh... this voice... It turned out to be a lady. Yes, this store is the largest jewelry store in Alainias. Do you have any needs for jewelry? Magical jewelry that enhances attribute value, ornamental Artificial accessories, we have everything here..."

Sakuya thought about it, and then said: "Mr. Shopkeeper, I want a pair of hair accessories that cost less than one silver coin. It's just for ornamental purposes."

"Oh, my guest, please wait a moment, I'll go get it right away." The shopkeeper replied respectfully.

"By the way, Mr. Shopkeeper, how's the business in the past few years?" Sakuya suddenly asked a question.

"Hmm...? Why do you ask that?"

"Well... because I am also from Alenias. I have just returned from a trip to other cities a few years ago." Sakuya deliberately made up a lie, "I heard that before your store was often attacked How about the patronage of thieves and thieves now?"

"Oh, that..." The shopkeeper smiled, "Since the saint has left, I don't know if I feel sorry for the old man, those slippery guys have never come here again."

"Is that so?" Sakuya blinked her eyes and lowered her head, then she raised her hand, put down a silver coin in her palm, and then slowly left.

By the time the owner came to the front desk with the appropriate hair accessories, it was already empty.
