At first, Ryder wasn't in a hurry, as Pique had previously missed the night. But since that morning, until now, a week has passed, and Pique still has no news at all!

In the past week, Ryder has traveled a lot, almost the entire town of Peace, but he has never seen Peake again. During this period, just three days after Peake's disappearance, the beautiful aristocratic lady named Hayser came to the lumber yard in person. Ryder discovers that the aristocratic lady's purpose is the same as his own, which is to find Pique.

When Hayser arrives at the lumber yard, he is not found in Pique, but is asked by Ryder if there is any news of Pique. For some reason, right in front of Ryder, Hayser suddenly lowered his head and cried.

Ryder, who was at a loss, was even more confused, but he was not a fool, and he didn't ask anything from Haysjia's mouth, but he knew that something bad must have happened. Since then, he has been looking for Pique like crazy. Except for two days when it rained heavily in between, he spent all the rest of the time running in the peaceful town. What's more, in the woods twenty miles around the peaceful town, there are also traces of his footsteps.

One morning, my grandfather, who was completely healed, said to Ryder, "I'll go out with you to look for it." Ryder looked at his grandfather's determined and sad gaze and did not refuse.

A week passed, and Ryder looked at Frank in front of him and said in surprise, "Horse thief?

Frank nodded, and told him that all the mercenaries had been looking for Pique outside of Peaceful Town for a week.

Their purpose is the same, to find Pique. It's just that Ryder has been looking for a week in Peace Town, while Frank and the other mercenaries have been looking outside Peace Town for a week.

Later, a strange phenomenon appeared on the streets of Heping Town, and many people saw more than once that there would be a group of mute people holding a hand-painted blue hat portrait on the street, showing people everywhere.

When a Yodelman sees it, he immediately exclaims, "This is the champion of the crash conference!"

When the Odin people saw it, they said, "This boy snatched Miss Hayska from the mayor's wedding......!"

When all the people in Peace Town had seen the portraits in the hands of the thin and dumb people, they came to a conclusion that Pique was not in Peace Town.

Undoubtedly, these mutes are the mute slave workers rescued by Pique and Zhu Tian in the mine. Grand Duke Soros's heartfelt mobilization speech made the mute slaves think they had an unfinished business ahead of them. The personality charm of Pique and Zhu Tian captured their hearts.

Zhu Tian's portrait was the work of Dormond the Younger, and when hundreds of portraits were handed over to the mute slaves, they spontaneously launched an operation to find Zhu Tian.

Even, dozens of mute slave laborers rushed directly into the garrison with portraits and ran directly in front of Amanda, the chief of security.

After a difficult exchange in sign language, the fat captain with a sweaty face finally knew what they were going to do. Soon, he generously hung the portrait with the blue hat in the center of the notice board on the central street of the peace town, and the portrait was written with four big characters - the revelation of missing people.

Not only that, but Amanda also packed the portraits sent by the mute slave laborers in several letters and sent them to the security offices of several nearby cities and towns. Ten guards were sent to assist the mute slaves in their search for the blue hat that had suddenly disappeared.

When the mute slaves saw that Chief Amanda was so desperate to help them, they all walked out of the garrison with grateful.

In this matter, Chief Amanda can be said to have exerted a lot of strength. In fact, the fat police chief, who had been in charge of the town of Peace for nearly eight years, also wanted to find the whereabouts of the blue hat as soon as possible. Because the guy promised him 100,000 gold coins haven't been given to him yet! The letters sent to the Endless Wall have all been delivered, and the gold coins have not been in place for a long time, so how can he not be in a hurry......

Over the course of time, auction house owner Ross Child has received good feedback from all over the mainland. The 100 noble canes he had purchased from Zhu Tian had been snapped up in two weeks! This was just a promotion in the northern part of the mainland, and the richer southern market had not yet had time to open up!

To Ross Child's surprise, the main customers of their auction house's noble canes were not the big nobles from all over the mainland, but the priests and cardinals in the churches!

Even, the owner of the auction house, Mr. Rosschild, who saw a huge business opportunity, received several threatening letters!

It has to be said that the Childe family is currently the second largest family in wealth and rights on this continent, and the first place belongs to the Aker royal family in the royal capital. With such a powerful family as a backer, Ross Schild, the owner of the auction house, can completely ignore the 99% threat on the mainland!

But at this time, the four threatening letters on his desk still made him frown. Because these four letters came from churches in four large cities! The envelope was stamped with a golden holy spear logo on the surface. The Holy Lance symbolizes the supreme force of the Cult of the Illuminati! Ross Child knew that only cardinals were qualified to use such a Holy Lance logo to swear authority.

He opened a letter with his hand, and after sweeping it in ten lines, he immediately tore it to shreds and threw it at the orator's feet.

Seeing this, the orator picked up the torn letter from the ground, and without carefully reading the contents of the letter, he said directly:

"Boss, we must respond to them, the cardinal has the power to control the churches everywhere, and this power should not be underestimated. ”

"I don't know!?" Ross Child frowned deeply, "These guys look sanctimonious on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are watching the wealth of the Roald family! They say that all Sandy wood products belong to the God of Light and leave them in the world, and it is against the Code of the God of Light to sell and auction Sandy wood products privately...... Bullshit! It's all fucking bullshit! The noble cane is obviously made of a blue hat named Zhu Tian in the peaceful town! How did it become a token left by the god of light in the world? What? They say this is the purest wood? Except for the clergy, they can't have it? Isn't this a clear request for my noble cane?!"

After listening to these impassioned words, the orator was silent for more than ten seconds before whispering to Rosschild: "Boss, in the beginning, it was also because the priests and cardinals from all over the country frantically grabbed Sandy's wooden noble cane in our auction house that some big nobles followed suit. From this point of view, we should indeed pay some ...... to the Cult of the Light Advertising costs. ”

"Advertising money?" said Rosschild, blinking his eyes, then sighing at last, "It is true! It was not a thousand years ago, and no one except the clergy knew the value of Sandy Wood. I really don't know where the so-called magicians on the mainland are hiding? It would be nice if I could catch up with the magician's marriage. ”

"Boss, that's ......"

"Take out some of the noble canes and give them to these guys for free!" Ross Child slapped the letter on the table hard, "In the future, every time a city's sales channel is opened, it seems that a part of the benefits will have to be given to the Cult of Light." ”

"Boss, I must tell you that we don't have enough stock. The orator spread his hands, "Ten, or twentie, anyway, it's not much, should we give them these few remaining noble canes as a benefit?"

"That's all there is left?" Ross Child blinked, and after a moment of silence, he said, "How long has this been...... Looks like we're going to have to look for the blue hat again. This matter is left to you, and the 'blue hat' only knows you, and you are solely responsible for the purchase channels of the nobleman's cane in the future. ”

The responsibility for the purchase channel of the noble cane is undoubtedly a job with great oil and water, but the orator's face suddenly showed a difficult expression, and he said slowly: "Boss, have you forgotten? Now the whole peaceful town is looking for blue hats!"

"Is that so, haven't you heard from him yet?"

"I've listened to your instructions, and I've sent someone out to check three days ago, and they gave me the information they gave me...... The Blue Hat seems to have encountered a horse thief. ”

"Horse thief?" said Rose Child, after a moment's pause, "even if you encounter a horse thief, there must be a result! What about the man! He will disappear into thin air? Send a few more men! He must be found in a short time! Distribute the portrait of the blue hat to our stations in various cities!"

In this way, the search for Pique grew.

Some people go to Pique on a macro perspective, like Rosschild, who has a large network of connections, and it is not difficult for him to find someone on the mainland.

For others, they can only search in local areas, such as Ryder and Frank at this time.

Originally, they could still move together, advancing little by little towards the south of the peaceful town. Later, they found it to be too inefficient. A team of five people planned a route in the morning and gathered at a designated place in the evening.

This is exactly three times more efficient than before.

Another week passed, and they directly searched within a hundred miles of Heping Town!

Even in the isolated small villages in the mountains, they found several, but they did not find the blue hat.

This kind of carpet search is really exhausting and physically demanding, they are a little distracted, a little bored, and more ...... Despair.

As time passed, the bad feeling in everyone's heart became stronger and stronger.

No one has ever opened their mouths to complain.

During the day, they carried their tired bodies and rode tired horses on the road to find their people. In the evening, they gather together to discuss tomorrow's search route.

One night, the mercenary grass carp, who had been the head of the regiment for a month, had a sad look on his face, and he called all the mercenaries, including Ryder, who had been following them all along. Under the burning of the bonfire in the woods, he announced something that made everyone gasp. "I should have told you half a month ago," he said in a deep voice, with a serious expression, "and it was on the day we encountered the horse thieves, and on the day everyone returned to the town of Peace, the head of Sisoo, which I put under the bed in the hotel, was lost......"
