Chapter Forty-Eight: The Missing Elves
"Lord Baron!" After changing out of the mud-stained priest's robes, Jon and Bridget walked out of the changing hut together, "How can we help?" ”
"Oh!" Baron Agamande, who was in the living room, hurriedly jumped up from the sofa and said, "Of course, one of my subordinates named Jabbar seems to have suffered a bit of a fall last night, and both legs are bloody and blurry, so I hope you can take a look at his injuries!" ”
"Abdul-Jabbar?" Jon repeated softly, how did he feel like he had heard the name somewhere?
"Yes!" Baron Agamande nodded, "Abdul-Jabbar is an elf from Quel'Thalas, and although his name is a bit strange, he is still a good person......"
"Take us to see him, Lord Baron!" Bridget whispered. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Okay, please wait a minute!" Baron Agamande put on his shiny riding boots and then his tie before he made a gesture of invitation to Jon and Bridget.
After leaving the castle, Baron Agamand first mounted his horse, and then led the two priests to the farmlands of the estate.
There are not many farmers working on the fields, and it is clear that they are affected by last night's storm, and everyone is reluctant to come out now.
"I bet Abdul-Jabbar must be working on my farmland right now, he's a pretty hardworking elf!" Raising his whip, Baron Agamand on horseback said confidently.
Jon didn't know why the baron needed to dress so formally and ride a horse so closely, but he obediently followed behind with Bridget without asking much.
The three of them had almost walked around the manor, and it had taken almost half an hour, but they still hadn't seen half of the High Elves.
"What's going on?" Baron Agamand muttered to himself.
Bridget whispered, "Lord Baron, since that Mr. Abdul-Jabbar has injuries on his body, will he still rest in his room now?" ”
"That's right!" Baron Agamande patted his head and suddenly realized, "Jabbar must be resting on his farm!" ”
Jon smiled helplessly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mills and Miss Abydis, come with me this time!" The baron looked back and said apologetically.
Following the Baron again, ten minutes later, Jon and Bridget were in front of a small farm to the northwest of the castle.
"Abdul-Jabbar lives here, and he's alone!" Baron Agamand turned around and explained with two priests.
Then the baron knocked lightly on the door of the farm twice, and said, "Jabbar, open the door, I have brought two priests to see your injuries!" ”
There was silence, and there was no response from the farm.
"Damn, Abdul-Jabbar isn't still sleeping, is he?" Baron Agamand muttered to himself again.
Then, he knocked on the door twice with a little force: "Abdul-Jabbar, get up quickly!" ”
However, there was still no response from the farm.
The baron's face became very ugly, and he slapped the door with some anger, and shouted angrily: "Abdul-Jabbar, you bastard, won't open the door for me?" ”
I only heard a 'poof' sound.
The door was actually slapped open directly by Baron Agamande's palm, and it turned out that it was not locked.
Baron Agamande, who almost fell to the ground because he lost his balance, hurriedly rushed into the farm.
"Abdul-Jabbar, where are you anyway?" The baron's roar was heard from the farm.
Bridget also tried to follow, but Jon pulled her from behind.
"Wait a minute, Brie, it's a little weird!" Jon whispered.
Bridget nodded.
After about two minutes, Baron Agamand walked out of the farm in some frustration.
"Abdul-Jabbar, where the hell is he?" He muttered to himself in frustration.
Jon was about to say something when he suddenly heard Baron Agamand in front of him raise his head and shout at him, "Is there anyone around here?" I'm Baron Agamande, come over to me! ”
With the baron's roar, several heads poked out of the farms next to him, and after a few minutes, the farmers of the farms trotted over one by one.
"Did you see Abdul-Jabbar today?" Baron Agamand hurriedly asked them.
Several peasants looked at each other and shook their heads.
The baron smacked the farm post with his horsewhip: "Damn, could it be that Jabbar went out early this morning?" ”
"Lord Baron." Jon cleared his throat and said, "I think you're wrong. ”
"Oh?" Baron Agamandel glanced at Jon in surprise.
Jon pointed to the muddy ground at the gate of the farm, and said with a serious expression, "Lord Baron, you must know that there was a torrential rain last night, and the mud here is soaked......"
Hearing Jon say this, Bridt's face suddenly dawned, and Baron Agamandel still seemed to be in the clouds.
Jon had to explain, "You know, the rain stopped early this morning, and if that Mr. Abdul-Jabbar had left this morning, he would have left a footprint. ”
Baron Agamand looked closely at the ground, and sure enough, as Jon had said, he could only see a few footprints approaching the farm, but could not find any footprints leaving......
"So......" muttered the baron.
"That Mr. Abdul-Jabbar didn't return to this farm at all!" Jon said categorically.
"It can't be!" Baron Agamande hurriedly denied it: "Yesterday I saw Abdul-Jabbar go back with my own eyes......"
Suddenly, the baron's words stopped, and then his face changed: "Wait, the man in black? ”
"The Man in Black?" Jon and Briggie asked in unison.
"Yes!" Baron Agamand nodded with a stern face: "Just last night, a very strange middle-aged man in black suddenly came to the manor. ”
"He said he was a mage from Kenrito and wanted to stay in my manor for one night and leave tomorrow!"
"You know, I didn't really want to deal with these Kenrito people, they're all weird. But seeing the sincerity on the mage's face, he couldn't help but soften...... Damn, why did I relent? ”
"As he said, I arranged for him an empty farm and asked Abdul-Jabbar to send him there, and then ......"
Bridget gasped.
"Baron Agamande!" Jon said coldly, "I suggest you call the sheriff as soon as possible, because something must have happened to that Mr. Abdul-Jabbar!" ”
