Chapter 9: Water Monsters?
Belle nodded as if she didn't understand Dinah's explanation, but she made up her mind never to touch such a strange stone again.
When she recovered, she got up and patted the dust off her clothes, and bowed sincerely to thank Dinah for her help.
Dinah slowly squatted down, shook the fluffy ears on her head, and patiently explained: "Don't be so curious next time, your ability should be related to space, but your body is weak, and it can only exert a small effect." It's the source stone that is intensifying your latent abilities just now, okay, let's get out. ”
"Oh, sister, that means that if I get better, I can actually exert more abilities, right?" Belle asked with some anticipation after hearing a lot about the Adepts in the past few days, and having also seen Dinah's stunt of summoning flames with her bare hands.
"That's right, I heard Carey say that you brought us in, can you show me?" Dinah suddenly remembered what she had heard Carey casually mention earlier.
"Well, yes, of course, come on, come on......" Belle excitedly ran to the basement door, closed the door, she lightly touched the wooden door, and closed her eyes.
Dinah saw the silver streaks on Belle's hands flickering inside her, and if it weren't for the fox clan's innate ability to see the source text, she wouldn't have noticed that she was also an alien.
No wonder......
Dinah thought about it, and guess this was the reason why she wasn't found strange.
Then she saw that the wooden door seemed to become somewhat transparent, and she could faintly see the scene behind the wooden door, but it was only after a moment that it returned to its original state.
"This is quite laborious, I can't use it today, as long as it's not too thick a wall, it can last a minute or two. Belle explained with a deep breath.
"Belle, if the source text appears in the future when you use the ability like today, remember to tell me, I have wanted to study this kind of source text for a long time......" Dinah took a deep breath and said with a somewhat hot gaze.
......
Carey walked for nearly half an hour to follow the route he remembered before he came across the village, which was a village that tucked along one of the small tributaries of the River Rapes.
The River Ropes ran through almost the entire kingdom of Yar from northwest to southeast, and was the mother river of the entire kingdom, and its tributaries alone fed many towns.
Of course, Eternal Light City is also one of them.
When Carey walked into the village, he noticed that there were many people around the supplier he was looking for.
"What's going on, do you still have a meeting on a rainy day?"
Relying on his tall figure and strong arms, he easily crossed the crowd and saw a middle-aged man in a dark green coat and a hood in the crowd constantly comforting a woman with swollen eyes from crying.
"Please, you must find my son, Elder, I have only one child, Fitz!" the woman pleaded.
The people around him whispered: "This month is already the third case, I'm afraid it's hard to say." ”
"Eh, your child is going to be taken care of, he is so strong, if you enter the guards in the city, you will be from the city!"
"Father Carter has come to investigate before and said let's relax, and we have already reported it. It seems that this is not something that the lord can solve. Someone else whispered.
"The old lord seems to have an accident, Lord Roy took people out and lost a lot of people, how can he have time to take care of our affairs here. ”
Carey pressed his hood, he still remembered that there were still many people in the village who knew him, and he wanted to hear what was going on here.
"Is the child missing? There were three incidents, and only the church was reported?"
Although I know that the church is very powerful, there are many believers, and the church has always been in charge of education, and in many cases, the status of the lord is not as high as that of the priest of the local church.
But when did the church even intervene in the disappearance of such a child?
"Uncle John, there have been three cases of missing children, why don't you tell Taylor?" Carey walked out of the crowd, and the old man was none other than Taylor's father and the head of Ante Village, John Hall.
"Kerry?oh...... There you are. John turned around and was not surprised to see Carey, and then replied, "I haven't seen that stinky boy for a long time, and the lord was not here before, so I will ask Father Carter to come and investigate." ”
"Did he find out anything?"
"I don't know very well, but when the second incident happened, he came again, saying that the water monster was doing something, and he needed to ask the church in the royal city to send knights over. Let's be careful these days, and if it's late, don't get too close to the river. John's face was evidently not very good, and he looked a little haggard.
"I see, I'll bring a letter to Roy about this, and I think now that he's back, I'll need to tell me about it. Carey nodded, there was nothing wrong with Uncle John's handling of it.
"Mr. Carey, will the lord take care of us?" asked someone in the crowd.
"Of course, the old lord has always been kind to his lords, and the new lord will be no exception, but there have indeed been many things happening in Eternal Light City recently, and I believe that the lord will definitely send someone over to deal with the matter here. Carey comforted the crowd of onlookers.
Seeing that the crowd was talking again, Carey quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the woman: "Don't worry, I will inform the lord of this news as soon as possible, your child may just be greedy for fun and lost in the mountains and forests." ”
The woman's face had already been wet with rain, and she couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain, but her face was sad, and it was obviously impossible for her to get better because of Carey's words.
"Mom...... Where has my brother gone?" suddenly a girl of five or six years old ran out of the crowd, grabbed the corner of the woman's clothes, and asked in a crisp voice.
"And asked! If it weren't for you, would your brother have gone to the river? Why didn't you take it! Unlucky child! Still crying! Crying something! You know how to eat!" The woman scolded at the sight of the little girl, and seemed to pour all her bad emotions on a five or six-year-old child.
The little girl suddenly pouted, wanting to cry but not daring to cry, she could only look at her mother blankly, tears rolling in her eyes.
Kai Li's face sank, and when the words came to his lips, he turned into a sigh, suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "He must be a good brother, and he must not want his sister to be wronged." ”
"Yes, Fitz has always been a good boy who is sensible and loves his sister, you must find him, adult!" the woman heard Carey's sigh and put away her emotions, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Carey crossed the crowd, his supply partner was Fitz's mother living next door, and the two couples in the room quickly got up and said, "Lord Carey, I didn't expect you to come over this weather." ”
Carey waved his hand, and the previous incident made him lose some interest in talking to people: "It's still the same, I'm free to send it over in the afternoon, this is the deposit......"
Just as he was about to leave, the husband and wife behind him reminded him loudly: "My lord, if you are willing to help, it would be really great, although I don't know about the past, but I have been listening to my son talk about you, saying that you are the strongest knight in Eternal Light City." ”
"Well, that was a long time ago...... Be careful on the way over, after all, it's raining. Carey smiled, not wanting to talk much on the subject.
He didn't think of himself a knight anymore.
