Tia was still thinking about what to do next when she heard a sound coming from outside the door.

"The uncle next door said that something had entered our warehouse that shouldn't have. We can't be that unlucky, right?"

"Maybe he's old and his eyes are blurry, and he saw it wrongly. Our warehouse is in good condition, how could there be anything else in it?"

"I can't say for sure. I left the door unlocked when I arrived at the warehouse yesterday. I figured I'd have to come back today anyway, so I didn't take it seriously."

"You're so lazy, forget it! You don't even dare to lock the warehouse. Go check it out quickly. If a thief really comes and steals something, you'll have nowhere to cry."

……

The sounds coming from outside the door gradually became clearer, and the footsteps became more and more rapid.

Tia looked around the warehouse, raised her hand and wove a large net with vines, then dragged the four of them to lie on the roof.

In order to prevent the two from noticing anything, Juno built a layer of earth wall underneath.

Just as I finished all this, the door of the warehouse was pushed open.

A middle-aged couple walked in, holding each other's arms, looking around. Their steps were unconsciously lighter, and their eyes were darting around, afraid that someone would suddenly appear from nowhere.

The two walked around the warehouse and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one was there.

"I was so scared! I really thought something had gotten in there that shouldn't have. I was so paranoid."

"Did you check just now? Is there anything missing?"

"I've checked it all. Nothing's missing."

"It's okay as long as it's not less. Let's lock up the warehouse this time."

"Every time I lock it up, I always forget where I put the key. Sigh, I always forget things when I get old."

"Aren't there flowers next to our warehouse? Just bury it next to them."

"Okay, let's do as you say and get out of here. This warehouse is really cold."

……

As they talked, they supported each other and went out, closing the door tightly and locking it.

After hearing the footsteps of the two people fade away, the few people landed on the ground again.

Fina reached out and brushed off the dust on herself. "This isn't a solution! Find an abandoned yard?"

"Sure, otherwise our coming in and out will easily arouse suspicion." Tia agreed directly. If the warehouse was not high enough and the two of them did not look up, it would be quite obvious.

"I can go out. No one has ever seen my face. I just need to disguise myself, but this time I want to be a man."

Giselle was afraid that he would have to wear a wig again, so she spoke first.

Juno looked at Giselle's anxious look and knew that it was because of the shape of the wig.

Noticing Juno's laughter, Giselle was angry but helpless and could only reach out and take off her wig.

"Help me clear a wall so I can change my clothes."

Juno didn't refuse and raised her hand to create a wall.

"I just came out these two days, so it shouldn't be a big deal if I go out." Juno didn't want to be idle either.

"I just hope I don't meet anyone from that workshop." Fina was worried that Tia would forget about him because of all the arrangements she made, and she was also anxious.

"Then you two take note of this and go out and spread the rumors. Gisai will go check on the empty yard, and I'll stay here and figure out what to do next."

Tia quickly made a division of labor, then chanted a spell to let the vine take out the key from the flowerpot at the door, then opened the door and let them all go out.

After everyone had packed up and left, Tia disguised herself as Miss Bell and appeared on the street.

At this time, there were not as few people on the streets as when they first ran out. The people who gathered to resist were sent home or arrested, and only a few church members were left on the streets patrolling around.

Those people would interrogate street vendors or pedestrians they met, with portraits in their hands.

Tia wasn't sure who the face and person in the portrait were, but thinking that she had already changed her appearance, she walked over confidently.

As expected, the man came over when he saw Tia. "Hey, has this person seen the person in this portrait?"

Tia took a look and saw that it was her own face drawn on it.

"Isn't this the saint from a few days ago? Is she missing? No wonder there's such a commotion today. But I haven't seen her. I just went out this afternoon."

The man waved his hand dismissively, "It's okay, you can go."

Tia stood still and asked, "Did the Saint run away on her own or was she taken away by someone?"

"Why are you asking so many questions?" The man looked at Tia impatiently, and his initially kind face now had a bit of fierceness.

"I was thinking that the Saint Lady could communicate with the gods. If something happened to the Saint Lady, how could she communicate with the gods? Would it affect my future prayers?"

Tia muttered in a low voice, but kept the volume low enough so that this person could hear it clearly.

After thinking about it, the man felt that what Tia was thinking made sense. Although he was also confused about this issue, he couldn't show it.

"The priest is here, what are you afraid of? Besides, the gods will definitely guide the saint back to where she belongs."

The man left after saying this, unwilling to waste any more time in front of Tia.

Tia did fall into silence, which means that Henry no longer thought that he had escaped, but he also did not think that he had simply been abducted.

"Little girl, why do you look so unfamiliar? I have never seen you on this street." An uncle who was setting up a stall nearby asked cheerfully.

"As for me, I wasn't on this street. It was because of the noise this morning. My family was upset and worried that I might get into trouble, so they asked me to go out and buy things."

Tia spoke pitifully, her face full of grievance.

The vendor who asked the question immediately shut his mouth and smiled awkwardly.

Tia also responded with a kind smile and continued walking forward. Seeing the person in front of her questioning her again, she approached her in the same old way.

But this time the person he was looking for was Fina.

After walking around, Tia confirmed that there were only these two groups of people looking for someone.

The doubts in his mind just now were suddenly answered. Henry knew very well that she was not abducted, but it was difficult to explain to everyone, so he could only say that she was abducted.

Otherwise, how could they explain why a dignified saint refused to stay in the church and insisted on leaving it?

Henry did know that Tia ran away on her own. "Huh, you dare to play such a trick on me and take those two people away before leaving. It seems that you really value their families."

The people below didn't dare to breathe and could only wait quietly for Henry to give orders.

"Doesn't he have a younger brother? Catch that Pierre here."
