Luo Luo did not expect the two of them to make such a mistake. They actually missed out on Avril, who was right under their noses. Perhaps it was because Granny Rosamund's attitude was too confusing, but when they went to the Sith Abbey to pick up Avril, Granny Rosamund was very cooperative and did not make things difficult for them.
That was why Luo Bu and Luo Luo had subconsciously excluded Avril. They didn't expect the girl to be abducted as soon as they parted ways, and the kidnappers must have found out from Avril that the two of them had their eyes on the Sith Abbey and Granny Rosamund. Luo Bu wasn't doubting the girl's character, but she was only fourteen. Even if she could resist the pressure and keep quiet, her expressions and actions would still betray her true thoughts.
The good news was that Avril did not know their true identities. So, although the culprit knew that Lolo, her distant cousin, was a fake, he still had no idea who they were and why they were investigating the Sith Monastery.
This was a trump card in their hands, but they did not have much time left. The incident in Stanton was not over yet, and the culprit would suspect them sooner or later.
Rob comforted Lolo. "Don't worry. It's only been less than a magic hour. Even if they left, they can't be too far away. It's not too late to chase after them."
"But how do we find them?" Before Luo Luo could finish her sentence, a customer put down his knife and fork, stood up, and walked straight to the two of them. "Hello, are you looking for a black-haired girl around 14 years old?" he asked.
"Do you know where she is?"
"I'm sorry, I'm just a passerby. Someone paid me a gold coin to pass this letter to you."
Lolo took the letter with a puzzled look and opened it. There was only a small line of words on it. It seemed to be the name of a place: 35 Agosto Street.
"Where is Agosto Street?" the girl asked the owner beside her.
"Oh, it's not far from here. It's only two streets away. It's less than a ten minute walk," the owner replied.
"Could it be a trap?"
"We'll know once we go over and take a look." Rob was not too worried about being ambushed. The two of them had just been exposed. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the Temple to gather enough people to deal with them so quickly. Agosto Street was not far, and it would not take too long to take a look.
The two of them soon arrived at the address. 35 Agosto Street was a tailor's shop. It was already closed, but the door was not locked. Rob pushed it open gently, but it was dark inside. It did not look like anyone was inside.
Lolo cast an illumination spell and soon saw everything clearly. Rob glanced at the row of hats on the wall and finally stopped at the fourth hat on the second row. He reached out and took out a small bone flute from under the brim of the hat.
It was a small, exquisitely crafted voice transmission device.
An unfamiliar middle-aged man's voice came from inside. The voice sounded very gentle. "Who are you people? Why spy on Sithe Abbey and follow Mother Rosamund? "
Lolo snorted coldly. "And who are you? Did you kidnap Avril?"
The voice laughed. He did not answer or deny. "Since you care about her so much, why did you let her leave alone in the first place?"
"I did not think that the next target of Katerina's plan would be her. Otherwise, I would have sent her to a safe place."
The voice seemed a little surprised. He paused for a moment before continuing. "You know about Katerina's plan?"
"Not only do we know about Katerina's plan, but we also know that you are involved. Avril is candidate number 28, right?"
The voice replied with an 'oh'. "It seems like you guys know quite a lot."
"No, we know more than you think."
After saying this, Lolo waited patiently. At the same time, she tried to calm her breathing and suppressed her racing heart.
Three minutes passed, and no sound came from the bone flute. Just when Luo Luo thought that the other party had left, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the other side. "I wasn't sure before, but now I'm sure that you know nothing except the name of the plan. The reason why you said that is to provoke me and make me send people to deal with you. That way, I might expose my location to you, and you can find me by following the clues."
Luo Luo's heart sank. The other party was indeed cunning, seeing through her intentions. Fortunately, she raised her head to look at Luo Bu, who nodded at her and said, "It's done."
After saying this, Rob disappeared from the room. After about three minutes, the future Supreme Magister Your Honor stood in front of Lolo again. This time, he was holding a middle-aged man who was trembling in fear.
"Substitute." Rob threw the man in front of the clothes rack. The man's clothes were stained with blood, but it wasn't his. It was his companion's.
The bone flute came in a set. There were two pieces, and one was in the hands of the messenger. While Lolo was talking to the voice in the bone flute, Rob secretly changed a few magic circuits on the bone flute. Through it, he could find the other bone flute. He rushed in and killed the guards in the room as fast as possible. He found the trembling man, but when he checked again, he did not see Avril.
The other party was more cautious than he thought. The man in the room who was talking to the bone flute was only a messenger. From the terrified man, Rob learned that the person they were looking for had already left with Avril half a magic hour ago. The guards that Rob killed had nothing to do with the shrine. They were just a group of ordinary mercenaries.
After the future Supreme Magister confirmed that he couldn't get any more useful information from this guy, he killed him as well.
Lolo asked, "What should we do now? We've lost our only lead."
"Not the only one." Rob shook his head. "There's also Mother Rosamund, but so far, we don't know how deeply involved she is in this matter and how much she knows. If she's only responsible for training the candidates and then sending them away, she may not know what will happen to the children. Maybe we can get her help." Rob shook his head.
"But if she doesn't know what will happen next, I'm afraid she won't be of much help to us. We still don't know where Avril will be taken."
