By the time Link arrived at Kuriya Village, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the dark clouds were thick and thick, blocking the sun, and the sky was getting more and more gloomy, and the wind was blowing, and the trees around the village were 'clattering'.

Looking up at the sky, Enoli was a little worried: "It's going to rain, if the other party escapes into the forest, the rain will wash away all the breath they left behind, which is not easy to track." ”

Link also frowned a little, he didn't expect such bad weather.

Frightened by the villagers, Link eliminated the Wind Wolf while at the edge of the woods, and then he and Enoli walked along the field path outside the village into the village.

Obviously, there are very few strangers in this remote mountain village, and when Link and Enoli appeared, many people in the village ran out to see the excitement, especially those little hairy children, who were not wearing any clothes, just running around in front of and behind the two with a bare little buttocks, especially like to surround Enoli.

This is also normal, Link's face is ordinary, nothing to look at, but Enoli is different, she is wearing a black dress with excellent materials and workmanship, and two beautiful bracelets on her wrists, and her face is even more enchanting, in the eyes of these farmers, this is simply a fairy who came out of the painting!

Enoli has always lived alone, and it was the first time that she was watched by so many people, and when she saw that everyone around her looked at her with amazing eyes, she couldn't help but be complacent.

Here, Link walked up to a farmer and asked gently, "I heard that there are people in the village who have received the blessing of the Lord and come back from the dead, this is a miracle, I have come on a pilgrimage, can any of you show me the way?" ”

As soon as he said this, the people in the village smiled on their faces, showing a look of honor.

Originally, when they saw strangers, although they came to see the excitement, they were still a little wary in their hearts, but since they were coming to make a pilgrimage, they must be believers in the Lord, so there was nothing to worry about.

A young man approached with a proud smile on his face: "By the glory of the Lord, stranger, the man you are talking of who has risen from the dead is my wife Lisa, and if you come with me, I think she will be glad to describe to you the scenery she has seen in the kingdom of heaven." ”

Link and Enoli looked at each other and followed the young man.

The houses in the village are very simple, with wooden shelves, thatched walls and thatched roofs, and each house has a small courtyard around it. Link followed the young man on a road full of sludge and cow and sheep dung for about fifty or sixty meters, and finally stopped in front of a small yard.

"This is my home." The young man laughed, and then he shouted, "Lisa~Lisa~ Come out, there's a guest coming." ”

There was no response, and the only thing that answered his shouts was the old yellow dog in the yard.

"Huh? What about people? The young man was very strange, and walked over and pushed open the door of the side room, and Lisa would spin in the house on weekdays, and when the door opened, everything was in the house, and there was still yarn on the spinning wheel that had not been unloaded, but there was no human figure.

"Lisa? Lisa? The young man was very confused, and he came out of the room, looked at the courtyard door, and wanted to explain a few words to the two visiting guests, but he was surprised to find that the two were also gone.

"Strange, where have all the people gone? Lisa, where are you? The young man was still calling his wife's name, but there was no response.

Outside the courtyard, Link and Enoli were shrouded in the faint glow of advanced stealth, and in the courtyard, because they couldn't find their wives, the young man's face was gradually looking anxious.

"And sure enough, she noticed." This result was not expected by Link, in fact, when he heard that Lodell was involved, he didn't expect much from this trip to Kuriya Village.

That dark elf, although not well-known at this time period, is a hundred times more difficult than Philippia, this guy clearly knows the limit of his strength, and he never takes unnecessary risks, and is very straightforward and decisive.

Enoli didn't speak, her black eyes similar to Link's glowing purple glow, staring closely at the wooden house in front of her.

She's using tracking.

After about half a minute, she turned and walked to the back of the room, and Link knew she had come to the clue and followed.

At this time, the man in the courtyard was already anxious, constantly calling his wife's name, his voice was full of anxiety and worry, and there was an old man with white hair and an old woman who were also shouting Lisa's name everywhere, which should be the young man's parents.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Link sighed slightly in his heart, for him, this was just an operation to expose the Black Moon Plan, but for this farmer and this ordinary family, it was a great tragedy.

After losing and getting it, it turned out to be lost again, tortured twice, and when I met the kind of stubborn character who didn't make a big turn, maybe I could toss people crazy, sighed, and when I got to the back of the courtyard, Link took out 10 gold coins from the space pendant and threw them into the back window of the wooden house with the hands of the mage.

This money should be enough for him to marry another wife, which may be able to comfort the other party a little.

Seeing him like this, Enoli glanced at him and said, "That man should have lost his wife, this is his fate, such things are happening all the time on the mainland, and they are too many to count, where can you manage it alone?" ”

Link spread his hands: "What do you mean about ordinary trivial things?" I saw it, and I just couldn't bear it. ”

Inoli was stunned and glanced at Link with a complicated expression.

For more than 100 years, she has seen too many big people shouting all kinds of big truths and talking about all kinds of noble morals, but she is sure that these big people are coming, and when they encounter such a thing, at least 5 out of 10 will pass by indifferently, 4 will go to comfort them, and finally 1 may give money, but they will give it in a high-profile manner, and I can't wait for everyone to know, like the young man in front of her, quietly giving, but she can't bear it, she sees it for the first time.

Perhaps, because of this, she, a mysterious magician who is not black or white, and is not tolerated by the world, can not worry about the betrayal of the other party.

Silently took out 5 gold coins from his space ring and threw them in from the window: "This is enough for him to marry a beautiful wife." ”

Fifteen gold coins is indeed not a small amount for the farmer's house, and it will not bring disaster to the other party. Link smiled slightly.

The two of them continued on their way, not using the magic of hurrying, because the magic would destroy the already subtle aura of the forest.

Soon, the two entered the forest behind the village, and after walking more than 500 meters in the forest, Eleanor suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Link asked, in his opinion, with Eleanor's tracking magic, he should have been sure of everything.

"It's strange, the aura here is divided into two, I don't know which way to chase." Enoli frowned, when tracking people, she was most afraid that she would not find clues, she was not worried about this, the title of level 6 mysterious magic master was not given for nothing.

But now she's found two paths, which is a bit embarrassing.

Link thought for a moment and said, "Just choose a path." ”

It was only like this, Enoli chose the left-hand side of the road to chase down, and after walking about 300 meters, she stopped again, and her beautiful eyebrows were about to wrinkle into a knot: "There are two more breaths, what is the situation?" Does he know how to doppelgänger? ”

"Then let's pick another direction." Link didn't feel good either, but unfortunately the clues were too ethereal, and he wasn't proficient in tracking magic, so he had to rely on Inoli for this.

There was no way, Inoli could only choose the right road at random, and the two walked all the way again, and after walking about 500 meters, Inoli was dumbfounded.

For no other reason, the scenery in front of them was very familiar, and it was the place where they first discovered the fork in the road.

"We're back again. What's going on? Honori was a little confused.

Link was silent, and after a few seconds, he figured it out: "Elena is good at manipulating men's hearts, but she doesn't have this kind of contingency. This is supposed to be the hand of the dark elf Lodel. He was very smart, he deliberately made a circle in the valley, two forks, the first fork was fine no matter how you chosen, and the second fork, but we had a 50% chance of choosing the wrong one, and once we chose the wrong one, we would go around and get a lot of time to escape. ”

This is very simple in principle, but in the mountains and forests with complex terrain, if the opponent uses this trick, they are in the game, even if they know the means used by the opponent, they can't crack it, they can only gamble on luck, obviously, Enoli's luck is not very good, she chose a wrong route, and as a result, the two of them went around and around, and returned to the same place.

Enoli wasn't stupid either, Link figured it out as soon as she reminded her, and said in annoyance, "How can he be so sure that we will choose the wrong path, if we choose the right path, he won't waste a lot of time running away?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Link shook his head again, in the game of his previous life, Lodel's whole person was rarely in danger, Link estimated that even if Enoli chose the right path, he would still be stunned by the other party in the end, and on the road after that, the other party is likely to have other means of confusion, so that even if Enoli does not make a mistake the first time, then it is possible to make a mistake the second time, and the probability of choosing the right direction both times is very low, less than a third.

"So what now?" Inoli asked.

"Go back and keep chasing." Link said, since there is breath, it means that the other party has not completely gone far, although he has made a mistake now, but there is still a chance.

"Okay." The two walked back again, this time choosing another fork in the road.

After walking more than 500 meters, Énoli stopped for the third time: "There is a fork in the road again, I hate this damn dark elf, now, to the left or to the right?" ”

"Can you tell the difference between the two paths?" Link asked.

"No, the breath is very faint, it's good to be able to perceive it, and I can't see the difference at all." Inoli shook her head.

Link had put away all his disdain, and seeing Eleanor say this, he leaned over and began to take a closer look at the marks on the ground.

His observation ability is very strong, much stronger than that of ordinary magicians, which can be seen from his magic enchantment, and he can guarantee a good one with such small runes.

In terms of magical breath, Link can't track it, but the other party will always leave traces when they walk by, footprints, trampled dead branches, broken grass stalks, etc., as long as you look closely, you can still see it.

Because there were fallen leaves and dead branches in the forest, the footprints were blurry, and Link couldn't see any big difference between the footprints on the two roads, but from the broken grass stalks, Link found clues.

He roughly judged the length of time that had elapsed from the freshness of these grass stem breaks.

Although the difference is very, very small, it can't be hidden from Link's eyes.

After watching for three minutes, Link said, "Go to the right, the other party passed here more than 40 minutes ago. ”

"Okay." Inoli walked to the fork in the road on the right.

The two went all the way forward, and walked for a thousand meters, but there was no second fork in the road, it seemed that the other party had a doppelganger technique, and it was directly divided into two people from the previous fork.

"It's a bit unpleasant, we seem to have gotten it wrong again." Inoli spread her hands with a helpless expression.

"Don't worry. Keep going. Link was confident.

Just chased all the way, chased out more than a thousand meters, and still no fork in the road, Enoli was already frowning, but the smile on Link's face was even stronger.

Seeing that Eleanor looked like he was about to give up, he explained with a smile: "This time the other party did not go in circles, but went all the way, those two roads, one was already walked by the opponent, and the other was what the opponent is walking now." If I'm not mistaken, the other side is not far in front of us. ”

It wasn't a day or two since Lodell stayed in Chestnut Valley Town, and it was impossible for him not to make some preparations for exposure as he went deep into the Norton Kingdom.

Eleanor was skeptical.

The two walked another kilometer, Link looked at the fresher and fresher traces on the ground, and said with a smile: "Elena's ordinary body has slowed down their speed, and the other party is right in front of you!" ”

Walking further on, about a kilometer away, Link saw a woman lying on the side of the road, with a dagger stuck in the back of her head, blood gushing out, apparently just dead.

Her eyes were wide open, and there was a deep sense of surprise in them.

"It's Lisa!" Enoli stepped forward and looked incredulous: "Who killed her?" ”

"It's the dark elf. He felt that Lisa was a drag, so he killed her. Link squatted down to examine the wound on his body, and then shook his head: "The other party is very ruthless, and he is completely helpless." ”

"The other party must be right in front of you, speed up?" Eleanor smacked her tongue, chasing this way, this dark elf's methods are really a bit powerful, if she were alone, she wouldn't be able to catch up with this at all.

Link shook his head: "There's no need, I can't catch up." ”

"Why?" Enoli was still a little puzzled, but when she felt a little cold on her face, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's raining, it seems to be a rainstorm." ”

The rain will wash away all the breath, and if the other party takes the burden of Elena, Link is still a little sure to catch up, but the other party does not hesitate to give up this burden, then there is no hope.

Observing his mission, it still shows the unfinished state, and the dark elf's Black Moon plan, under his continuous investigation, shows a trace of outline, but the specific details are still hidden in the thick fog.

In this confrontation with Lodel, with God's help, Link lost slightly, which made him see the toughness of the world's top figures, which is really not enough to underestimate. (To be continued.) )
