Chapter 20: Bad News
Storming the door, Drew immediately began to sort out the information he had learned at home.
Although the village guards had notified the army and started a joint search, Drew could not suppress the foreboding in his heart and began to search for all clues about his sister on his own.
It's already evening, and the recent riots and today's disappearance of the child have left the village feeling deserted. In addition, the heavy snow that began early in the morning had already driven the night owls who had some ideas back to the warm bed, so the Maple Leaf Village at night seemed very peaceful. Drew became one of the few discordants to break the tranquility.
According to the children in the village, Lina and Doramina used to play in the fields to the south, and this was confirmed by several old people, so the first stop must be the fields to the south. Drew didn't bother to show his strength, and began to rush to the first destination.
Although it was night, it was easy to find the place where my sisters played. Whether it was the snowman they pushed up or the traces that the escort team had searched, it was very obvious. Anyway, he is also an archer with the peak strength of black iron, plus Aiya usually teaches a lot of knowledge about tracking, although a lot of information is hidden in the snow, but in the eyes of the elves with excellent eyesight, these obvious information are no different from the lights in the night.
The footsteps of the army searched from the fields to the forest to the southwest, and I think the naughty sisters must have run to play in the forest. With this in mind, Drew quickly followed the trail to a huge tree.
The tree is the first place of choice for most of the children in the village, and the open space next to the tree, several swings hanging from the trunk, huge tree holes, and huge tree trunks are the main places for the children in the village to play. Of course, Drew, who is often ridiculed for his talent, is not very familiar with the location.
It's just that the traces here are very chaotic, and the footprints of the adults in the village, the footprints of the guards, and the footprints of the soldiers have long covered the traces of Linna. Drew barely managed to find a few useful clues through his sister's shoe prints.
First, the younger sisters should have climbed over the tree, and there were some children's footprints in the snow on the trunk.
Second, the sisters should have been missing at least in the afternoon, Drew confirmed by the footprints on the trunk and the thickness of the footprints covered in snow.
Third, the sisters have gone deeper into the forest, or they should have disappeared after entering the deeper forest, although Drew did not find the footprints of his sisters on the ground, but many of the adult footprints on the trunks pointed to the depths of the forest.
After chasing it now, Drew's restless heart has gradually calmed down. After looking around left and right to make sure that no one was there, Drew quickly ran up to the trunk of the tree and began parkour to track the footprints of the adults. It's just that Drew still didn't think of a very important thing, Drew ran out of the house at that time!
Now Kova is in a terrible mood! I was happy to hunt and came back waiting for dinner, only to find that my daughter was gone. After looking for a long time, I only found out that my daughter had disappeared in the depths of the southwest forest with the neighbor's daughter. In desperation, Kova asked Aya to help find him, and asked the young people of the village to inform a small army stationed outside the village.
Unfortunately, even under the joint search of the convoy and the army, not only has there been no good news so far, but very bad news has come: the army's scouts have discovered the traces of a sophisticated slave catcher! The moment she heard the news, Kova's first wife, Nian Maple, fainted directly in Kova's arms, and after working for a long time before waking up, she has been crying until now, calling her daughter's name all the time, making Kova's heart feel as uncomfortable as a knife.
What Kova didn't expect was Drew's reaction after hearing the news of his sister's disappearance, after hearing the news of his sister's disappearance, Drew just heard the words "fields in the south" and ran out of the door, making Kova stand in place for a long time. When the urgent shouts of the third wife Diana were reflected, he went out to chase after him, where was Drew?
This is good, the crying woman has increased by one, which directly makes the extremely bored Kova even more helpless.
It's just that Drew in the forest didn't expect his family to have further riots because of his actions, and all Drew was trying to track down his sister's information with a little trace.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the snow is getting heavier and heavier, which has caused a lot of difficulty for Drew, who has only unlocked the black iron level strength, to track down. Without thinking about it, Drew directly launched the golden finger that although it is not powerful, it is also a golden finger that crosses welfare. As the trails became harder to find, Drew began to look through his message records from time to time. As for the skill Drew, it has already been opened, otherwise it would not have been possible to catch up here.
Tracking: Some traces can be found to track, and the effect of the skill will be strengthened as the archer level is unlocked. At present, the tracking target level is 1-7 levels plus the archer's unlocking level, which fluctuates due to the tracking target's ability to erase. The tracking time is 2-5 hours, depending on the tracking target's ability to disappear.
It's just that after chasing a cave at the mouth of a cave, Drew has completely lost any traces that can be used for reference, and near the entrance of the cave, Drew found traces of the dispersal of the escort and the army, presumably because they did not find any other useful information and began to scatter and search.
Drew entered the cave and began to observe every corner of the cave with the light of healing, hands, eyes, and tracking and trying to find clues about his sister. After searching for a while, I learned some information by looking through the system's reminders, but this information did not reassure Drew, but made Drew's mood cold.
"You've found traces of a campfire, and based on what remains, you shouldn't have been away for too long, less than half a day. You also find that this campfire should have been around for more than 3 days. ”
"You've found some scraps of food, which don't look like elven food."
"You found the remains of some animals, which seem to have been eaten by the people camping here."
"You've found some hairs, which seem to belong to the Terrans."
"You've found some strange marks, like those of a heavy haul."
"You've found a long strand of hair, right near those strange marks."
"You've found some dried plants, and through your knowledge of pharmacy you've found that these plants have hypnotic and de-empowering effects."
"You've found ......"
……
"Based on these clues, you conclude that this is a camp site for human slave catchers."
"The class is too low to make out when he left."
Although he had a hunch, when he desperately wanted to deny it and tried to leave the information behind him, Drumon stubbornly put it in front of him. It's actually a human slave catcher!
Drew frantically rushed out of the cavern, tracing around again and again, trying to find any useful information. It's a pity that Goldfinger strikes again at a critical time.
Oh, not a strike, but such a message that repeatedly appeared in front of Drew.
"The level is insufficient, and the tracking technique can't trace any traces."
