Chapter 138: Tracking (I)
The traitor Karl nodded slightly, glanced at the werewolf Orff again, and said, "You can move freely in the Three Rivers Mountains before the sun sets. ”
Wendy the Thief came up and handed me a pile of silver coins and said, "You're an interesting guy......"
I took the money and said, "How can you be sure that your people won't get in my way?" ”
Wendy pulled out another pendant painted black and said, "Take it with you." ”
Without hesitation, I took the pendant and walked away.
"Bihon!" Anta suddenly stopped me.
"What?" I stopped.
"Stay safe......" he said.
"Got it." I say.
Then Leo asked me, "Where are you looking for it?" ”
I froze, and then looked at the roast fox man who had fainted on the ground, unheeded.
"Hah!" Leo gave a brief laugh.
"Don't you know?" I say.
"Ataya chick is under the car they're sitting in." Leo said.
I didn't want to go to the Kodo beast cart without thinking about it.
Everyone looked at me strangely, and I ignored it.
"Inside the wheel." Leo said.
I bent down and looked closely.
On the inside of the wheel, a handful of hair hangs.
"Atayal's animal skin clothes," Leo said, "I ripped off the hair, and he didn't react at all......
What he meant was that both Priest Atayal and Priest Fili were bewitched by the potion of the fox girl Erica!
This cunning fox girl used the Berserk Confusion Technique in the underground labyrinth, and now she has this potion that even the priest can control, which is really tricky!
Pinching this handful of fur, I mobilized a little bit of my mind and used some elemental energy.
Then, I let go of my hand.
The fur fell softly and drifted towards the west.
"Actually, divination also involves some food related to the diviner, such as hair and clothing, or household items," Leo said, "I should have expected that there is such witchcraft on the earth......
I didn't bother to listen to him, and walked in that direction.
My companions gave way to me, and the people watching the excitement followed suit.
Faintly, I heard the Raven Killer Chloe say, "Do you know divination?" It's getting more and more interesting......"
Wendy the thief said, "Then can he divinate that he will be very unlucky today?" ”
Chloe said, "What, you want to make trouble? ”
Wendy said, "That's what you said! I didn't say anything! ”
Leo said: "It seems that these guys have no credibility at all!" But that's right, they are all bandit leaders, what kind of credit do you talk about? ”
"Afraid of what?" I said, "It's all here, no matter how hard it is, I have to find them!" ”
Soon, I walked out of the Behaimo Bazaar.
Sure enough, out of the Behaimo Market, the eyes of those who browsed and outlaws looked at me with unconcealed hostility.
Yesterday we were a group of people, and they didn't dare to do it easily, and now I'm alone, and I'm ready to trouble me right away.
I lifted the black chain.
When they saw the black falling chain, they immediately avoided it in fright.
"Looks like this thing is kind of useful...... Leo said.
I don't really have much confidence in the role of the pendant, in fact, except for the four bosses, I am not afraid of anyone at all, including Romanov the gatekeeper!
However, seeing the fear of these outlaws for the pendant, I was still much more relaxed.
Following the results of the divination, I continued to the west.
The Sanhe Mountains seem to cover a vast area, in fact, the straight-line distance between the north and south is very short, and the Kodo beast cart can pass through it in a day and a half, but the east-west direction is narrow and complicated, and there is basically no road to go when you get out of the Behaimo Market.
Fortunately, there are mainly rocks and grass on the top, and there are a few woods, and the view is quite open, and it is not too difficult to walk compared to the mud-covered grass.
However, there is a problem with a wide view - the road ahead is unobstructed, and I am even sure that if I walked faster, I would be able to get out of the Three Rivers Mountains in about noon time, and then, wading through the river, into the territory of the wolf clan.
"Ran away to the wolf clan?" I was suspicious of Erica's whereabouts and motives, "What is he going to do with the Wolf Clan?" ”
"Are you sure he'll enter the wolf territory?" Leo asked rhetorically.
"That's where they're going." I say.
"You yourself have said that you can really believe this thing, but you can't believe it all," Leo said, "use your brains more......
The more critical it is, the more he does it, and I don't expect him to keep going.
Following a path, I came to a farm.
The farm was built on a platform on the mountainside, and there was no fleshy turnaway, no vicious werewolves patrolling, only a group of rat men and rabbit people tending to the green wheat seedlings in the fields.
"Rabbit Man......" Leo began to react unwell.
"Why do you always have trouble with the rabbits?" I said, "Is the rabbit man so ugly?" ”
"You won't understand," Leo said helplessly, "but I'm used to spitting and spitting, after all, there are fox girls waiting for me......"
"You said the fox girl Erica was waiting for me?" I immediately noticed something strange in his words.
"Not like that, but it's pretty much the same," said Leo, "well, get out of here, and catch up with them!" ”
Listening to his tone, it was like when he was vomiting and diarrhea in his stomach after eating badly, and he had to stand up and work with his spirits, which was a bit miserable.
So, I shouted at a rabbit man, "You, come here!" ”
The rabbit and his companion were taken aback, and then he came up tremblingly and said, "My lord, are you the same?" ”
Leo was suddenly unhappy: "What are you doing!" I don't want to see these guys! Ignore them and stay away, I feel uncomfortable! ”
I said, "Since you're always only half-talking, I'll have to ask them." ”
I said to the rabbit man, "Are there a few foxes and two minotaurs passing by near here at dawn?" ”
The rabbit man thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No ......"
I was a little disappointed, and pointed to the other rabbit man: "You, come here too!" ”
At this moment, the rabbits and rats stopped what they were doing and looked at this side.
The second rabbit man was a woman, and Leo finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "Teach them to get out of the way, or I'm going to do it!" ”
The female rabbit man came over even more frightened, and Leo finally shouted: "I said, I said it is not okay!" ”
"If only you said no!" I laughed. Then he waved his hand at the rabbit man and said, "What's the matter, you can go!" ”
The forgiven rabbit man quickly turned and ran away.
I slowly walked out of the farm and said, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" What the hell does the fox girl Erica want to do? ”
"You can't see what you want to do, ......" Leo exhaled and said, "I kind of understand, you kid is deliberately disgusting me!" ”
"It's you yourself who say you want to help me every time, and then you say something inexplicable at a critical moment," I said, "you disgust me first!" Talking is half the most annoying, you know? ”
"You're bad at learning...... Leo said.
"You also taught me to learn badly." I say.
"Alright, no nonsense," said Leo, "you do the divination one more time, and I'll look at the direction before I can reason for their next move." ”
I took out the fur fragments I had just used for divination.
Divination shows that the direction of their progress is still west.
I went ahead and said, "You explain it well. ”
"She wants to provoke a war between the three tribes." Leo said.
This startled me.
"How is that possible!" I stopped abruptly.
"Don't stop, time is precious!" Leo said, "Let's talk as we go." ”
My mind was full of questions, but I still took a step: "Didn't they come to Thunder City to ask for help?" How could they hope that the three clans would go to war? ”
"That's the most plausible explanation I can think of at the moment," Leo said, "and it's a little hard to explain, and the conditions are insufficient, but I can start with the underground labyrinth incident......
"You snatched the scroll from her," I said, "is there anything else to gain?" ”
Leo said, "Do you think that she came to Thunder City and infiltrated the underground labyrinth, is it just for that scroll?" To be honest, this scroll is a good thing, but its value is not really precious compared to the peace between the three legs, or borrowing troops for help, after all, it can only make a strong warrior, which is actually not that big of an impact on the war. ”
"What did you find?" I say.
"That's it," Leo said, "her actions are very difficult to explain, including Nange's dead fox men, as a substitute for the dead ghosts, they can be more effective even if they find a rat man, after all, the temple and the city lord's mansion will not be much less suspicious of the envoy group." Moreover, in the end, the envoy group still completed the mission of asking for help and was escorted back, which is even more strange. ”
"Misunderstanding cleared up?" I said, "Or is there some secret agreement made in private?" ”
"Yo, you still know this?" Leo said unexpectedly, "However, this is also what I don't understand, after all, there is too little information, and now, I understand that they don't want things to end so peacefully!" ”
"Why? After talking about it for a long time, you still haven't made it clear! I said.
"Stupid, think about it, who among the three clans wants to fight the most?" Leo said.
"Of course it's the wolf clan!" I didn't even want to, "They first provoked us, and then approached the fox clan, for fear that the battle would not start." ”
"That's right!" Leo said.
I was even more confused: "What do you mean, isn't Erica not a fox clan, but a wolf clan?" ”
"Are you stupid?" Leo said, "Such a beautiful vixen, how can it be a wolf clan, please use your brains!" ”
"It's not the wolf clan, it's ......," I thought for a moment, "she's also controlled?" The person who shot behind it was the wolf clan! ”
