The Devil Tears: Lord of the Night
Arc 1 Chapter 27: Abduction
The next day Luciel and Liz were having breakfast on the 1st floor of the inn and discussing what they were going to do today.
“I think I'll do a Guild Quest, what will Ciel do today?“ ask Liz.
“I'll do an investigation I guess,“ replied Luciel.
“About the case of the person – the missing person?“
“If we get 2 Gulden, we can buy better gear for you Liz. “
“Alright, just use the artifact if anything happens, I will come to you soon Ciel.“
Liz then goes outside and Luciel plans to question some people. Luciel then went again to the slums on the outskirts of the city and approached some young men who were discussing something.
“This happened again you know, two migrants disappeared yesterday,“ said a newcomer.
“Maybe people – people here do not want the immigrants to settle here.“
“Yes, they think we're pests like animals. They only think about their comfort when our house becomes a battlefield, “ looks a very angry young man.
“And they went so far as to kidnap the immigrants, I have a friend and his sister who disappeared yesterday is still not found.“
Luciel listened to their discussion, but they realized his existence.
“What is your business, boy? “ someone of them questioned Luciel
“I'm a newcomer too and interested in your discussion, “ Luciel replied.
“Ohh, where are you from?“ ask the man.
“Kota Elea “
“Ah, I'm sorry. The cities of Elea and Baden were the worst affected by the war because the two cities were frontline.“
Luciel and the young men then started talking – talk.

Liz POVs
“The newcomers are making trouble again, and they are as if – who feel victimized by the disappearance of some of them.“
“They are only displaced but do not know themselves.“
“You know, the incident last week made Mr. Ulrich angry because his sister died at the time of the riot.“
Liz listened to various rumors while choosing the Quest she was going to take.
‘ Hmm.. Quest – this quest is very troublesome if I do it myself ‘. Not long after, Liz was approached by several hunters.
“Hey, do you want to team up with us?“ 3 Hunters consisting of 3 men – men and 1 woman of his age with him offer a team with Liz.
“We have members with Assassin, Tank and Mage roles. We will do Quest Rank E and still lack 1 member, do you want to come with us?,“ asked the woman.
“Quest what kind? “
“We will go to Meine Valley, there are many hordes of blue wolves that often attack people – people who cross the valley,“ he explained.
“If not wrong, every 1 tail we kill will get 30 torches. And when we succeed in killing 20 we will complete the mission and get 20 ral,“.
Liz then thought about their offer.
"Baikalh, I'm coming,“ said Liz
“Alright, it's decided.“
They then started leaving the guild.

After discussing with the young arrivals, Luciel did not find a single clue about the disappearance of the arrivals. Currently Luciel was walking towards the city center to sell the various potions he had made. After he entered an herbal shop, a man was seen waiting in front of the cashier's table.
“Hey young man, you look like a newcomer, “ said the man in a cold tone
“Why do you look like you hate immigrants? “
“They were ungrateful, Count Wagner accepted them in his city but they instead rioted just because they couldn't afford to make money.“ The man looked very disgusted with the newcomer.
“My sister even became a victim when the riot occurred, and now there are people eyeing them and one by one they disappeared. Didn't they deserve such a fate.“ The man then grinned at Luciel.
This is Sir, your drug order totals 2 Gulden “ Then an herbalist came to give the man a medicine then the man left the store .
“There can I help young people?“
“Ya, I want to sell some herb“

In a corner of the city, there was a house at the end of an alley. Inside was a man tied up in a chair.
Both of his palms were pierced with a nail through his thigh and there were several incision wounds all over his body.
“ Please I can no longer.. “ The man gasps – gasps and limps due to loss of a lot of blood.
“BASIC BASTARDSN CII... “ BAMMM!!!!! The hammer hit him right in the man's head. Blood and rest – brain scatter. Hearing it people – people who are in the house then scared. The kidnapper then approached the next victim.
“Takkk!!! Help me!!!! I don't want to !!! no!!!" He dragged her to a torture site.
“Hehehe... yell as you please because this place has been cast magic so that no sound from inside this room comes out. Ahahhaaha this is really fun.“ The kidnapper grinned to enjoy the torture he was doing.

Liz POVs
“ Ice Bullet “ A chunk of ice shot sharply towards the head of a wolf and made him unconscious.
“ Good job, Lia “ An Assassin then ran and stabbed the wolf in front of him. Blue wolf has a length of 1 – 1.5 meters and has a height of 0.7 – 1 meter.
Meanwhile a Tank wielding his greatsword and an armor against five wolves held him back as his – comrades finished off one by one the separate wolves.
“ Auuuuu!!!! Grrrrrrr “ Not long after came five wolves from another direction.
Liz who saw it immediately moved towards the horde of wolves that had just come. One of the wolves jumps towards Liz, but Liz can easily avoid it by using Quickstep. Liz then slashed at the wolf in front of her and continued her attacks relentlessly killing the five wolves.
Seeing this Bert an assassin was greatly amazed.
“ Wow, for a beginner like us you are really great Liz “
“ Yes, you are like our senior – senior in the Guild “ Lia commended
“ Thank you “ Liz just smiled hearing their praise.
“ Hey you guys, if you don't mind. I'm in trouble here “ Wendel a Tank complains to them.
“ Hey you're a Tank, that wolf – wolf won't be able to penetrate your armor you know “ Bert replied to him and started moving petrified his partner.
It was late in the afternoon and they decided to return to the city.
“ Hey Wendel, guess – think we how many wolves we killed today? “
“ Hmmm... I think we killed 40 and almost half were killed by Liz “, replied Wendel who was carrying a sack containing – parts of the wolf's body
“ Yes, this Quest became easy thanks to the help of Liz “
“ Hey Liz, is it true you're just a Hunter Rank Beginner? “ Ask Bert to Liz.
“ Of course, I've only been a Hunter for one week. But I've fought with a Hobgoblin and a Mutant “ before
“ WOW! Isn't that a level 2 monster? Only – hunter hunters who have obtained a rating alone are able to fight them “ Lia again amazed by Liz.
“ No, no. I'm not alone against him you know “
After a while they reached the western entrance and separated.

Luciel is in the square – plaza while thinking about the case of the disappearance of the comers.
‘ Hmmm... in see from wherever the residents of the city who have a reason to kidnap the migrants ‘ according to the patrol soldiers, it is, reports of migrants disappearing came about a week ago after the riots. ‘ Do I have to check it directly there tonight huh? ‘ Luciel thinks about the risks he will face later.
When Luciel was thinking, he was approached by the little girl who was yesterday.
“ What are you daydreaming about, brother? “ Luciel surprised when arrived – arrived in front of him appeared a small woman.
“ Hey little girl, how was your day today? “
“ Boring I guess, because the end of this final – fewer people – who can share interesting stories with me “
“ Well, I think I have some stories that I can share back “ Luciel smiled and started telling stories for the little girl.

One night, two patrolmen were running.
“ Hey fast we have to report what we saw to Wachtmeister “
However they were intercepted by someone who appeared in front of them.
“Hehehe... Where are you going to rush – to?“
“ Shit, he's chasing us “
Without waiting for long, the person who was chasing them ran towards them carrying a hammer in his hand.
“ Dead Kauuu Fuckingnn!!!! “ They both prepare to fight holding their swords – each.

Morning arrived and the whole city was shocked by the discovery of two bodies with the heads of each – each corpse was destroyed.
