Did It Really Come Back?
"————!"
When the incredibly clear knocking sounded, Felt and Old Man Rom opened their eyes wide almost simultaneously, their hearts tightening instantly.
"Who is it?" Felt asked in a low voice, her expression uncertain. "Could it be the client?"
When this existence was mentioned, Felt's voice carried a hint of annoyance.
Because Felt was deceived by this so-called client into stealing the badge, and was thus drawn into an unimaginable vortex.
Judging from Fang Li's words, it is clear that the other party wanted to prevent the badge holder from participating in the Royal Selection, so they made Felt a scapegoat.
Moreover, in order to avoid exposing the mastermind behind it, the other party might also silence her, kill Felt, or even kill everyone who saw her in the slums.
In other words, Felt was not only being used, but could also be killed by the other side at any time.
Thinking of this, Felt couldn't help but bite her lip.
Of course, Felt was more afraid than anything else.
There was nothing she could do; Felt was already a prisoner, and even if someone wanted to kill her, she probably wouldn't be able to escape now.
Therefore, Felt couldn't help but glance at the Giant race elder beside her, and secretly made a decision in her heart.
"At least let Old Man Rom escape..."
However, as if joking with Felt's determination, Fang Li, sitting Fang Li the bar, casually said this.
"Big old man, go open the door."
After saying that, Fang Li took the fruit knife from the bar and threw it at Old Man Rom as if throwing away trash.
The sharp fruit knife immediately sliced through the air, grazed Old Man Rom's side, and embedded itself in the floor.
"Tear..."
With a soft snapping sound, the ropes binding Old Man Rom's body broke.
Old Man Rom then realized what was happening, and silently stood up, slowly walking towards the door.
"Old Man Rom!" Felt cried out immediately, "Don't go!"
Unfortunately, Old Man Rom ignored Felt's shouts and walked straight to the door, then reached out and decisively opened it.
"Call----!"
A chilly wind blew in from outside the door, ruffling Old Man Rom's tattered clothes and the hair of the person outside.
She had a head of extremely smooth and eye-catching long hair, as white as snow and as cold as ice.
Long silver hair.
Upon seeing the long silver hair, Old Man Rom was immediately stunned.
Not to mention Old Man Rom, even Felt was stunned.
Only Fang Li was surprised.
"Could it be..."
It was as if it were confirming Fang Li's imagination.
The next second, as Old Man Rom stepped back, the person outside walked in.
He wore a simple yet luxurious white robe.
A striking yet exceptionally beautiful head of long silver hair.
A cool yet gentle and holy aura.
A stunningly beautiful face, yet so delicate and pitiful.
A young girl walked in from outside, her gaze sweeping across the entire Thieves' Den.
Immediately, the other party saw Felt sitting on the ground, bound hand and foot.
The girl finally stopped what she was doing, looked directly at Felt, and spoke softly.
"It's so good to have you here."
As these words were spoken, a gray kitten flew out from the girl's hair and laughed playfully.
"I never expected them to be hiding here. It's hard to imagine that this is the hideout of someone who has the Wind's Blessing."
The visitors were Emilia and Parker.
"An elf..." Old Man Rom looked at Puck in surprise, then asked Emilia in astonishment, "Are you Spirit Sorcerer?"
"Yes." Although Emilia didn't know Old Man Rom, her kind nature made her answer honestly, "I did indeed form a contract with Puck."
After saying that, Emilia walked past Old Man Rom, seemingly not worried at all about encountering an ambush or sneak attack, or perhaps she never even thought that such a despicable thing would happen, and walked into the Thieves' Den with an upright demeanor.
Just like in the alley during the last playthrough.
At that time, Felt did not pay attention to Emilia's attitude.
Because at that time, Felt did not know Emilia's true identity.
Now, Felt finally knows.
The person who holds the emblem of the Dragon Crest is the Dragon Priestess, the heir to the throne chosen by the dragon.
In other words, the pure and holy girl before us is one of the five Royal Selection ones.
Having learned Emilia's true identity, and seeing her walk in with such an upright demeanor, Felt's feelings were completely different.
At that moment, Felt said, somewhat defiantly, "It's amazing you managed to find this place. This kind of slum is not a place for someone like you, is it?"
"I have never been here before." Emilia seemed unaware that her identity had been exposed, and said in a serious tone, "However, what you stole is very important to me, and I must get it back."
"The badge... the badge isn't with me!" Felt quickly said, "That guy over there took it!"
"Huh?" Emilia was slightly taken aback.
Only then did Emilia notice him and turn her gaze to Fang Li was sitting at the bar.
Just then, Fang Li eyes met.
Emilia tilted her head in confusion as she looked Fang Li sitting at the bar.
Emilia always felt that the way the other person was looking at her was somewhat strange.
However, before Emilia could resolve her doubts, Puck flew to her ear and whispered something to Emilia.
"Be careful, Ria, that's no ordinary person. I could barely sense his presence before..."
This is also why Emilia Fang Li earlier.
However, having come to this point, Emilia naturally couldn't back down.
"Excuse me," Emilia said to Fang Li as if making a serious request, "Could you please give me the badge you have? It's mine."
Due to the Return by Death, the timeline of Fang Li Li's encounter with Emilia has been rewound.
Therefore, in Emilia's eyes, Fang Li was indeed a stranger.
The fact that Emilia would earnestly make such a request to a stranger who could very well be an accomplice of thieves is undoubtedly a testament to her kind nature.
At least in Parker's opinion, the other party wasn't someone who would return the items so easily.
However, the two were destined to be surprised.
Fang Li gave a very straightforward answer.
"Sure."
After saying that, Fang Li tossed the badge to Emilia.
Emilia instinctively reached out and took the badge.
However, I was stunned.
"They really came back?"
