Chapter 92: The Trap
"Smack!" With the soft sound of bones breaking, Watson suddenly let out a roar of pain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Du Shen sneered and continued to swing his stick at Watson's left leg.
There was another soft sound, and Watson let out an even more terrible scream again.
"Ahh My leg! Watson grabbed his right leg and rolled from side to side twice. He hugged his left leg again, rolling and howling, "My leg! My leg is broken! ”
Du Shen threw down the wooden stick and waited silently.
Watson cried out in pain for a long time, and finally calmed down slightly. Tears glistened in the corners of his eyes. Watson sat on the ground and looked up at Du Shen resentfully: "Bastard, what are you doing?" Du Shen, why did you break my leg? ”
"Why," Du Shen sneered, seemingly equally angry, "you actually betrayed me!" ”
"I didn't," Watson cried out aggrievedly, "I didn't betray you!" I didn't tell anyone at all, I've seen you! ”
"Hmph," Du Shen sneered disdainfully, "You think you can fool me?" If you didn't betray me, why would anyone be tracking me? Watson, treat you as a friend! ”
"I didn't!" The pain and grievances brought tears to Watson's eyes.
"It's just breaking your leg this time," Du Shenyin shook his fist fiercely, "It's not so cheap next time!" Don't let me see you again! Du Shen glared at Watson fiercely, turned and walked out of the alley.
"I didn't betray you," Hua angrily cried out, "bastard! How can you wronged a good person? ”
Du Shen fell on deaf ears and disappeared behind the wall.
"Bastard," Watson was angry and very aggrieved, "there is no distinction between right and wrong!" I should have been the first to report to the teacher......"
Watson sat still and cursed angrily for a while, gradually calming down. He began to think about his situation. Watson tried to stand up. But because of the severe pain in his legs, he couldn't stand firmly. He fell, gasping in pain.
Watson thought for a moment. He touched the ground with his hands and moved slowly forward. Enduring the pain, Watson moved to the mouth of the alley. The street in front of me is relatively deserted, but there are still people coming and going. Watson called for help to the nearest figure: "Sir, help me." I was an apprentice in the temple. ”
The middle-aged man who was about to come over suddenly sped up his pace when he saw Qinghuasheng's outfit. He didn't understand the situation for a while: "Your Excellency, what's the matter?" ”
"My leg is broken," Watson deliberately calmed, "can you go to the chapel and say something." Let them send a carriage to pick me up? ”
"Oh!" Middle-aged people are a bit at a loss. He looked around a few times, then turned around and ran wildly: "Your Excellency, wait a minute, I'll report immediately!" ”
Watson sat at the mouth of the alley and waited. From time to time, passers-by pass by. Perhaps because of Watson's attire, most passers-by would stop and ask a few questions. Watson explained simply, only saying that someone would pick him up soon. Passers-by also left one after another.
Soon, a horse-drawn carriage came and slowly stopped at the mouth of the alley. The middle-aged man who reported the news and the two elemental envoys jumped out of the carriage one after another.
Two elemental envoys carried Watson into the carriage. One of them handed the middle-aged man a few gold coins and said words of thanks and praise. The middle-aged man happily accepted the thank-you gift and left. Elements make drill into the carriage. The carriage drove slowly towards the chapel.
In the carriage, the red-haired elemental used his hands to examine Watson's legs back and forth. Watson snorted one after another.
The red-haired element made Milford stop, and said angrily, "It was deliberately interrupted." No big problem. Go back to the chapel, hold it in, and use some medicine. It will be fine after a while. ”
Watson couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The mustachioed elemental made Denton, frowning and asking, "Say it!" What's going on? ”
Watson's complexion kept changing, and he hesitated.
"What," Milford amused, "you still want to shield the murderer?" Did you do something bad and be retaliated against by others? ”
"I didn't!" Watson blurted out. Grievances and anger kept churning in his heart, Watson gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth: "It was Du Shen who beat him." I ......"
"Du Shen?" "Du Shen!" The two elements were startled at the same time and looked at each other.
For this name, two elements make it all too familiar! Even, beside the two of them, there is a sketch of Du Shen at this moment.
A year ago, Du Shen's sudden disappearance caused a lot of turmoil in the Flame Temple. You see, since its foundation, the temple has never encountered such a situation: an apprentice with high hopes who just went to Grimm City to take a vacation and play, and never returned.
At the beginning, in order to find Du Shen, the temple sent a large number of people to set up checkpoints in the area around Green City and search everywhere. Because everyone believes that Du Shen is likely to be kidnapped and even killed.
After more than a month of tossing, the land around Green City was almost turned over. The temple still failed to locate Du Shen.
Although, the temple speculated that Du Shen was likely killed. But just in case, the temple distributed Du Shen's sketches in a big way, asking all the elements who were out on duty to pay attention. The temple has also been secretly tracking down Du Shen's murderer, intending to maintain its own majesty.
At this time, hearing that Du Shen was not dead, how could the two elemental envoys not be shocked?
Two elements make it serious at the same time. Denton asked, "What did you say?" You say, have you seen Du Shen? ”
Watson leaned back slightly, avoiding Denton's horrific gaze. He recounted in detail his experience of meeting Du Shen.
"Knowledge Hut!" Denton interrupted Watson in surprise. He confirmed incredulously: "You say, Du Shen mentioned the knowledge hut? Du Shen said that he became a wizard of the knowledge hut? ”
"Yes!" Watson nodded inexplicably.
The two elemental envoys looked at each other again, and their hearts turned upside down.
The hut of knowledge, which the Temple has been tracking for nearly a thousand years. The legend about it is familiar to every element who has obtained a field qualification.
"You tell me again," Denton approached Watson," Du Shen reported to himself. You repeat. ”
Watson sensed the importance of the matter. He stammered and retold again.
This time, the two elements made no interruptions. After listening to Watson's entire experience, they asked and delved into some of Watson's descriptions.
Until the carriage stopped, the coachman reminded him that he had arrived at the chapel. Two elements make it stop asking. The two laughed one after the other.
Denton slapped Watson on the shoulder, causing the other party to grit his teeth and gasp: "Watson, you have done a great job!" Your wounds will be healed. We have important matters that must be dealt with immediately. ”
After saying that, two elements made the push door jump out of the car. As they went, they instructed the coachman to take care of Watson.
The two Dentons summoned the high priest of the chapel. The high priest personally rushed to the castle lord's mansion. It didn't take long for the order to be passed from the city lord's mansion to several city gates. The gates were closed, and the city guards were mobilized. Under the leadership of the Elemental Envoy, they searched for Du Shen everywhere.
Painted by a painter in the city, Du Shen's sketches have been copied extensively. The element made the head carry Du Shen's avatar to track, and soon pieced together Du Shen's movement trajectory from the mouths of the citizens.
In the evening, the elemental envoys regretfully discovered that Du Shen had escaped from the city long before the city gate was closed. The Elemental Envoys immediately led people out of the city to track down.
Along the way, passers-by and residents were questioned with avatars, and the elemental envoys gradually chased them to the edge of a deserted wood. Because there was no one in front of them, they cut off the traces of Du Shen's actions.
The Elemental Emissaries split up. Some searched the wilderness from the edge of the woods, while others continued to follow the increasingly remote road.
Tossed overnight until dawn the next day, everyone found nothing.
The Elemental Messengers do not give up. They returned to the city and used the power of the city lord's mansion to post wanted notices with avatars everywhere. The Elemental Envoy personally led people to nearby villages and towns to follow Du Shen's traces.
The emperor lives up to his wishes. At noon the next day, an elemental envoy finally found Du Shen's trace in a remote village. An old hunter in the village saw the wanted notice and reported to the elemental envoy: "I seem to have seen this man in the mountains and forests to the north a few days ago. ”
The elemental envoy was overjoyed, and on the one hand, he sent people to gather people, and on the other hand, he ordered the hunters to lead the way to the place where Du Shen haunted.
There is a reward for the stimulation, and the old hunter diligently leads everyone over the mountains and mountains. Half a day later, the crowd stopped at a hill. Under the instructions of the old hunter, the crowd saw only dense woods.
Elemental makes a lot of experience tracking wizards. He ordered his subordinates, who had been borrowed from the city guards, to stay where they were. The Elemental Envoy only led the hunter and a few descendants to the place where Du Shen had appeared. They searched everywhere for traces of human activity.
The surrounding area is remote, and the old hunter claims that he rarely comes. Because according to the rumors of the ancestors, it seems that something strange happened in the mountains and forests further north.
The elements make the big joy. They found obvious traces of activity, and inferred that they were left by Du Shen.
Maybe it's because of his young age and lack of experience. Although the traces left by Du Shen are intermittent, they are always relatively obvious.
Eventually, the Elemental Emissaries circled around a few times and returned to a bend somewhere. Because they found that Du Shen's traces went all the way to the north, and it seemed that the river bend was the last one. With the half footprint left by Du Shen in the river bay as the center of the circle, within a radius of 200 steps, no other traces can be found back and forth.
The elements make the heart immortal. They continue to expand the search radius. Until the radius of 2,000 paces was exceeded, no new traces could be found.
By this time night had fallen. The knights who follow the elemental envoys are thirsty and hungry. One of them asked, "My lord, there is probably no other trace." Let's start testing from here? ”
The Elemental Envoy nods, assigns tasks, and scatters the Courier. Someone summoned the city guards, who were still on the hill. The Elemental Envoy ordered the city guards to be stationed in the bay and be vigilant for movement around them.
The moon rose, and a large number of men came from the south. The Elemental Envoy commanded the people to camp by the river. Later, the crowd cut down the surrounding trees overnight. There were also a few people who followed the river, back and forth.
Time passed, and the next day passed in the blink of an eye. More and more people are coming in. The camp at the bend of the river is getting bigger and bigger. Elemental makes more and more subordinates under his leadership. They patrol around and keep an eye out for people cutting down trees.
With the river bend as the center, all the trees within a kilometer radius have been cut down. And the people still did not stop, and continued to cut down trees on the periphery.
It was dusk, and finally a man noticed the abnormality: "This tree is strange!" It's so hard, I can't cut it. ”
