Chapter 18: Start the investigation, my first commission
It's been two days in Kagu Village, and we haven't made any progress on the disappearance of the villagers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 According to the head of the village, the villagers who disappeared four or five days ago left in the direction of the valley. On the morning of the third day, Sakura and I, Ruizawa and I prepared to officially leave for the valley. According to Sakura, Rize had gone to the valley two days ago to observe but had made no progress, while Sakura had stayed in Kaya Village to prevent Lord from attacking the place again while I was unconscious. This time, we planned to go farther away, the village chief took the villagers to see us off at the entrance of the village, Xiao Zhi always had to follow, but for her safety, we still left her in the village, Xiao Zhi prepared a "love lunch" for us, let me feel the warmth of this world, so we accepted the entrustment of the villagers free of charge, and set off.
Leaving the village of Ka Gu and entering the jungle in front of the valley, I always felt as if I had forgotten an important thing, after all, I had experienced so much in just 4 days after arriving in Tarolance. I asked Sakura, "We forgot about the big thing!" Sakura said unhurriedly, "I asked the village chief, the legendary old man is somewhere in the valley, because he is very mysterious and often travels around, so the villagers don't know where the old man is, and they don't know if he is in the valley." “
I was so annoyed that I held my head and said, "Oh my God! How's my Jiaxin! Sakura was still smiling when she saw me and said, "Since you came here after you died, you can die again, maybe you'll go back again, hahaha." (I "hate" Sakura.) I turned my head, not wanting to bother with her, and I saw that Rize had been holding a large piece of paper and looking at it carefully, and I could make out if it was a map, or a small part of the map, with symbols written on it that I couldn't read.
I asked Rizer, "Rizer, this is the map?" Rize then looked at the map and said, "Yes, this is a map of this area." I said, "Is it the text?" Ruize said, "That's Elvish, you know?" The elves are the most knowledgeable of the Talorans, and most of the books are written by the elves. So I happily listened to my "encyclopedia" Ruize talk about the strangeness of the world of Talorentan, and Sakura kept squinting at the two of us as she walked by.
After walking for a while, Sakura said to the two of us, "Hey, do you two feel like someone is following us all the time?" I said, "Could it be Xiaode?" "No way, I didn't feel any powerful magical power." Sakura said, "Who could that be?" I can only lure her out. After saying that, a ball of fire came out of his fingers, and he suddenly turned around and shot out, hitting the tree, and the person hiding behind the tree seemed to be frightened and ran out. Xiao Zhi! The three of us looked at her helplessly (I knew it. Xiao Zhi ran over and said, "I think. Sakura touched Zhi's head and said, "Since we're all here, let's go together." Zhizhi looked at Sakura and smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Sakura!" So we went into the valley.
The four of us walked like this for nearly a morning, but we always felt that we were going in circles, the road in the valley was rough, and the center of the valley was bottomless, and we couldn't tell the difference between east and west. Rize said strangely, "No, the map clearly shows that there is a sea on the other side of the valley, but why do we keep going around the valley?" Sakura said, "Your map won't be fake." Ruize squinted at Sakura and said, "Then you say, how should we go?" ”。 Sakura squatted down and said to Zhi, "Zhi, do you know how to get out here?" Xiao Zhi said: "People in our village generally don't come here, and if people in the village want to leave the village, they usually leave the other side of the sea of flowers, which is the direction of the Union State." ”
We were all very distressed, the clue was broken, and Xiao Zhi said: "At the beginning, the village chief organized the village people to come to the valley to resist, and those bad people kept trying to catch the village chief, and then you beat the bad guys, so the bad guys in the valley disappeared. I suddenly understood something and said, "I see, maybe the bad guys are hiding in the valley." Sakura looked at me and said, "Is there any mechanism in this deep mountain?" Rize said as if he understood, "I think there must be something we haven't noticed, like the bottom of the valley." "Hey, are you sure?" Sakura said.
"The map shows that the depth here is very deep, and there is land below. And it's the farthest part of the mountain. Sakura sighed and said, "If you cheat me, see how I clean you up!" I immediately asked, "What are you going to do?" Ruize smiled and said, "Climb down." I said, "Where do you support it with such a steep slope?" Sakura said helplessly: "The basic skill of a magician, concentrate the power on the fingers, cast magic, and you can crawl on the valley, but the longer you crawl, the more energy is consumed." Ruize said, "You and Xiao Zhi stay here first, Sakura and I will go down to check the situation, and after a while, if I release the white flash, you will continue to stay here and wait for us to come back, if I release the yellow flash, you will go back to the village and ask the villagers for help." Sakura said helplessly, "Yellow flash? We can't handle it, do you think the villagers can handle it? "That's right. Rize said, and then said, "Then you just wait for us, and we will try to go early and return early." Xiao Zhi said: "Sister Sakura, Brother Ruize, pay attention to safety." I also sighed and said, "You guys stay safe." With that, they climbed down.
I sat down and looked at Xiao Zhi and said, "I'm afraid it's another boring day." Xiao Zhi said, "They will be fine." I said, "With their strength, I feel like they can't jump from here." Xiao Zhi said: "Uh-huh, hee-hee. ”。 After a while I yawned and wondered what was going on in this valley, and then I suddenly seemed to think of something, Ruize said that the farthest part of the mountain, and if the villagers were at the bottom of the mountain, then how did the villagers go down? I unconsciously groped around the mountain wall and was surprised to find that there was a thin crack on the mountain wall that was similar to that of a person. Don't?
"Xiao Zhi, you pull aside." Xiao Zhi "uh-huh" and then retreated, and I pushed both sides of the mountain wall. Really! can be pushed, Xiao Zhi jumped up with a "wow". When I pushed it open, I found that there was indeed a staircase going down, which seemed to lead down the mountain. I immediately lay down on the valley and was going to tell them that you don't have to climb, just go down, but they were almost halfway there.
I cheered myself up, took out the burn-resistant oil and flint from Sakura's luggage, and then found a wooden stick to make a torch, and took Zhizhi into the staircase, the staircase is a rotating drooping type, from the architectural point of view, it should have just been built, and the staircase is still so rough, it looks like it was built in a hurry, I think this should be to tempt the villagers to build the staircase, and then arrest them after the construction. Xiao Zhi seems to be very scared (Actually, I'm scared. So I took Xiao Zhi's hand, forced herself not to be afraid, and staggered down with her. Perhaps it was too much of a fear, but we both walked very fast, and in less than ten minutes we walked up the stairs to the bottom of the mountain. Down the hill was a small jungle, similar to the one we had walked before.
Xiao Zhi and I looked back at the mountain and saw that the two were still hanging on the mountain.
Five minutes later, they finally came down, gasping for breath, they hadn't seen us yet, I told Xiao Zhi not to talk to surprise them. Sakura looked at Takayama and sighed, "It's so high." Exhausted. Ruize said, "Do you want to send a signal first?" ”。
"White signal or yellow signal?" I said, pinching my waist. They suddenly turned around in confusion, as if they had seen a ghost. Zhi smiled at them with scissor hands. I continued, "I found that halfway up the road." I pointed to the staircase next to me. When Sakura saw this, she clenched her fists and shouted, "Ruize, Dahl!" “
Rize swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Sakura who was annoyed and angry in horror, and said with a helpless smile: "That, exercise is also part of cultivation, hahahaha. Sure enough, Sakura punched Ruize in the head and shouted, "Stupid! Ruize wanted to cry without tears. I looked at them with a smile and a sense of schadenfreude (I quite like it. )。 So, we are finally one step closer to saving the villagers, including Xiaozhi's father.
