For Bifuor, Milan has been missing for more than half a month. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For more than half a month, he has been looking for Milan and wants to ask Maier for help. Mel was very busy at work, and it was difficult for Bifuer to find an opportunity to meet him alone.

After learning of Bifuer's request, Maier asked Bifuel on the side, "Do you know why Miss Milan disappeared?" Bifuel felt that there was something in Meier's words, and he was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, his relationship with Milan would be exposed. He pretended to be calm and replied, and then hurried away.

After Beavor left, Mel let out a heavy sigh. In fact, before the questioning, he was not very sure about Bifuer Milan, but after the questioning, Bifuer's vague performance made him have to doubt this person. Coupled with the fact that Beamore was in a hurry when he left, and he didn't ask Maier for help, it gave people a sense of being a thief.

On the other side, for Stranzie, Shata has also been missing for almost half a month.

After getting lost in the castle last time, Satta had an eye for it and figured out the topography of the castle while Stranzie was catching up on sleep during the day. After that, she tried to leave again. This time she left Byrensburg without incident, but when she reached the Westgate Trading Post, she was stopped by the guards.

The guards said that there were no formalities and that the residents of Bairensburg could not leave the place at will, and sent her back to Bairensburg. Seeing that the road could not be followed, Shata went into the forest alone, headed in the direction that she thought she could leave Byronsburg, and then unsurprisingly got lost.

Sharta's departure was devastating to Stranzie. He believes that Shata has abandoned herself and wants to commit suicide by jumping into a well, but he is discovered by Tar's servants before he can jump into the well. Tár's servant immediately hugged Stranzie's body, and then shouted for help, attracting all the idle people around. Thanks to everyone's efforts, Stranzie failed to commit suicide. In the evening, when Tal came home from work, he learned of Stranzie's suicide and immediately went to inquire about the situation.

On 5 May, Tal officially became Maier's retinue and joined his convoy. The work of the convoy is very boring, except for standing guard and patrolling, and it is only possible to follow Maier when he is out. But Tal enjoyed it, and for him, he was content to serve Mel.

After learning the reason for Stranzie's suicide, Tar, who has no experience in love, doesn't know how to comfort him, so he can only lie to him and tell him that Shata didn't abandon him, but should have lost his way in Byronsburg.

Shata had a history of getting lost, so Stranzie took Tar's word for it. Fearing that Shata would be in danger, he begged Maier for help, but Maier was so busy with work that Stranzie did not see him for several days. In desperation, he could only write a letter and ask Tal to pass it on to Mel.

After arriving at Byronsburg, Tal did not meet Maier casually. He knew that Maier needed a quiet environment when he was working, and he couldn't go in and disturb him if he didn't have anything important, so he had to take the letter with him and wait for an opportunity. Tal waited two days, and Mel finally left the house while he was on duty.

Tal took the opportunity to give the letter to Maier, and explained Shata's disappearance in as simple a word as possible. He begged Mel to help Stranzie find out where Shata was, so that he would not be killed again.

Maier accepted Tal's request and sent someone to the Simon Trading Post to inquire about the situation. The soldier who sent Shata back to Fort Byrensis remembered what had happened on the day of Sata's departure, and said that Satta had not left Fort Byrensburg from the Westgate Trading Post.

Maier didn't expect that Shata would be stupid enough to go deep into the mountains and forests, thinking that she should be hiding somewhere, so he posted a bounty notice in the castle and the attached village, hoping that the people would help him find Shata. The administrative area of Bairensburg is so large, if Shata is within the administrative area of Bairensburg, at most one day, Meier will get the news.

However, three days later, Mel still hasn't heard from Shata. Eventually, a few children who had been playing near the forest that day helped, and they happened to mention that they were playing when they saw a woman walking into the depths of the forest. At that time, the children also advised Shata not to enter the forest, saying that it was dangerous, but Shata felt that the danger in the eyes of the children was not dangerous to her, so she did not listen to their advice and disappeared into the forest.

The children wanted to tell the adults about it, but on the way they were attracted by some small bugs and forgot about it.

When the adults heard the children's words, they thought that the woman who had walked into the forest alone was the woman mentioned in the bounty notice, so they carefully asked the children about the woman's appearance. The children described Sata's appearance truthfully, similar to what the notice said, and the adults hurried to give clues to the security forces.

The news was sent to Yu Mingli first, and as soon as Yu Mingli heard that the missing person might have entered the deep mountains and old forests alone, he immediately put down his work and wanted to report the matter to Maier as soon as possible. Unfortunately, Mel happened to be free on this day, and had been squatting outside Myer's house for two days, and Stranzie seized the opportunity to ask Mel about the progress of the search.

Because human life was at stake, after arriving at Meier's residence, Yu Mingli directly reported to him that the missing person might enter the forest alone, regardless of the presence of outsiders. Growing up in the city, Stranzie didn't know the dangers of the forest, but in a hurry, he said something like "human life is at stake", which made him realize the seriousness of the matter. He immediately asks Maier to send a search party to find Shata, and says that he will also join the search party and act with Maier's men.

At this point, Shata had been missing for ten days, and if she had been going in the same direction during those ten days, the search area would have been quite large, and it would have required quite a lot of manpower. There are many wild beasts in the forest, and there are many carnivorous beasts among them. Although Shata is a Ryding magician, the forest is the home of the beast. Anyone like Mair who has lived in the wild for a while has been attacked by wild beasts at one time, and if he hadn't been on high alert at the time, he would have become a part of the earth by now. Maier, who has experience in surviving in the wild, is still like this, and if Shata, who has no experience in surviving in the wild, encounters this situation, it must be more than lucky.

Is it worth it to spend a lot of manpower, material resources and time to find someone who may have died?

Maier only thought for two seconds before accepting Stranzie's request. He put Yu Mingli in charge of pulling people from various departments, starting from the forest where Shata disappeared. Yu Mingli gathered all the hunters of Byrensburg and asked them to lead a team to find Shata's whereabouts.

Stranzie was in one of the search teams. His physical fitness was very poor, and the day after the search operation began, he developed a high fever due to overwork. His teammates wanted to send him home to recuperate, but he insisted on continuing the search. In desperation, his teammates could only find the witch to help him reduce his fever, and then take him to continue the search for the missing person.

After Shata's disappearance, it rained twice in the area where Byronsburg is located, which undoubtedly made the search more difficult. On the fifth day of the search, a search party led by a young hunter discovered Shata's whereabouts. They found a pair of women's cloth shoes, which were rotten and had blood and pus, apparently from the blisters on their feet.

The young hunter blew his whistle and contacted a nearby search party, and it wasn't long before two search teams arrived. The place where the shoes were found was less than two kilometers away from the place where Shata disappeared, and an old hunter said that the owner of the shoes had walked in the exact opposite direction to the place of disappearance and went in the other direction. They searched in the direction pointed out by the old hunter, and that night the search party found Shata, who was hiding in a tree hollow, crying and licking with tears on her fingers.

When she was rescued, she looked very bad, her clothes were tattered, her skin was stained, her hands and feet were covered with scabs, her hair was sticky, and she had a foul smell. When she was rescued, she burst into tears, and the search party gave her a little water and food, before blowing the whistle with a special frequency to tell the others that the missing person had been found.

The search team conducts a search according to a certain formation, and the distance between the search team and the search team is fixed. The search party that was too far away could not hear the whistle, so the search team that heard the whistle also blew the whistle to pass on the news. It took about ten minutes for the news to reach all the search teams.

When Stranzie learns that Sata has been rescued, he immediately relaxes and faints. When he woke up, he had been sent back to Tár's residence, where Shata, who had already bathed, eaten, and changed his clothes, was holding his body and crying.

Shata has suffered a lot these days. She left with too much confidence, no money, no weapons, no tents, only a little food, and no water at all. When she first entered the forest, Shata walked and thought about whether to find a place to live in seclusion in this forest, and also imagined her life after seclusion.

She hadn't gone far before she felt thirsty and wanted to find some water to drink. In a wooded forest, it is not easy to find water to drink. Shata searched for a long time in the vicinity, but could not find a water source, so she could only endure her thirst and continue to search. Later, she managed to find a puddle, but the water in the puddle was dirty, so she didn't drink it.

Sata continued to search for water, and as she searched, she found another puddle. At first, she thought it was a new puddle, but upon closer inspection, she realized that it looked like the one she had found earlier.

Shata, who had never walked in the mountains, always thought she was walking in a straight line, but in fact she walked in an arc, turned in a circle and came back again. She went in the opposite direction, but this time she didn't come around right away, and she found another puddle, but the water was dirty too, so she still didn't drink.

By this time, it was already dark, and Shata, who had not drunk water for a day, could only find a place to rest. She tried to sleep on the floor, but found that there were a lot of bugs on the ground. Although there are no poisonous insects in this forest and insects that will actively attack humans, Shata does not know about this. She saw the ugly appearance of some bugs with the light of the magic flares, and she screamed in fright and ran away.

That night, Shata hid in a tree hole and slept for the night. She had walked all day in the mountains and was very tired, so she slept very hard. In the middle of the night, a herbivore that only comes out at night appears outside the tree hole, and a young beast finds Shata hiding in the tree hole, and curiously walks over to lick her face.

The slimy, slippery tongue and fishy smell woke Shata from her dream, and she screamed and scared the beasts away. In the second half of the night, Shata didn't dare to sleep, left the tree hole, and continued on her way by the light of the magic flare. Shata was thirsty and hungry, and she didn't go far before she was tired again.

She found a big tree and hid under it until dawn. After dawn, Shata stood up in a daze and walked in what she thought was the right direction. By noon, she felt dizzy and vomiting due to mild dehydration, and had to stop to rest again. During the break, Shata spotted a puddle of water, and she didn't bother to check if the water was clean, so she lay down and drank the water.

Luckily, the water in the pit wasn't too dirty, and Sata drank it with only mild vomiting and diarrhea, but it caused her to lose precious water. Shata finished what little food she had, and set off again. This time she didn't want to leave Byronsburg, but wanted to get back.

In fact, at this time, Shata was less than three kilometers away from the edge of the forest in a straight line, but she did not know the right direction, and kept circling in circles, and at night she was farther away from Byron Castle. On the third day, Shata began to look around for food, and soon found a bright red wild fruit.

This wild fruit hangs on a branch less than a meter above the ground, and the fruit hangs all over the branches, but there are no animals to eat it, which looks suspicious. Sata didn't think much about it, she thought that the fruit was so beautiful, it must be edible. She filled her stomach with the sweet, watery wild fruit and fell asleep contentedly.

This wild fruit is called "life-saving fruit" by the old hunters in the mountains. The old hunter gave it this name, not because it could fill the stomach when the food ran out, but because after eating it, people would temporarily forget the pain and fatigue, and the lost person could temporarily gain the ability to survive.

But this fruit can only be taken in small amounts, because it is poisonous in itself, and the effect of making people forget about pain and fatigue is a sign of mild poisoning. Once the fruit is consumed in large quantities, the toxins in the fruit will cause the mouth to foam at the mouth, lose mobility, and hallucinate. If it is consumed in excess, the person who eats it will be poisoned and die in about two hours.

Sata ate enough to poison her five times. But I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, but after eating the wild fruit, Sata still feels thirsty, so she finds another puddle and drinks dirty water. After this, she began to vomit violently, vomiting everything she had eaten.

Even so, Sata's body absorbed some of the toxin, causing her to faint at the mouth foaming at the mouth. As she lost consciousness, several carnivorous beasts spotted her. But she smelled of life-saving fruits, which were perceived by wild animals as poisonous, so they just sniffed at her and left.
