Chapter 35: A Clue

Yun Lang was a little hungry, so he asked Vivian to find him something to eat.

Vivien had just left the house when she "coincidentally" met Mantha White, the garrison officer who was already waiting there.

"Lord Vivien, is the Lord awake?" Mansa asked politely, stepping forward.

Vivian didn't like her very much, so she didn't give her a good look, and replied lightly: "The master has woken up, and I am about to go and get some food for the master!"

"Oh......" Vivian's salty tone made her a little embarrassed, and she hesitated, so she had to cheekily go straight to the point: "Lord Vivian, can you ask for instructions on my behalf...... If your lord allows me, I'd like to give him a grand welcome party!"

After thinking about it, Vivien didn't dare to decide on her own, so she turned around and went into the house to inquire on her behalf.

There was not much time, she went out again, and said to Mansha with some reluctance: "Master, let you come in!"

Mansha was overjoyed when she heard this, and after tidying up her clothes, she stepped into the door.

Inside the house, Yun Lang was sitting at the small table, looking in the direction of the door. Vivien stood at her side, carefully protecting.

"Meet the Lord!" Mansha said aloud, with a salute.

"Hehe, you don't have to be so polite!" Yun Lang got up to greet him, and motioned to the empty seat next to the table: "Come here and sit down, it's okay!"

Mansha was a little flattered, and after a slight push, she cautiously bowed and sat down.

"Hehe, Vivien just told me that you want to hold a welcome banquet for me?"

"Exactly!" Mansha replied truthfully, then explained, "Now that some preparations have been made, if the lord allows, welcome the banquet, and then continue to prepare!"

Yun Lang didn't think about it, so he shook his head: "This checkpoint is a military powerhouse, how can I have fun! As a lord, I should have more scruples, but I can't take the lead in breaking the rules!"

"Uh......" Yunlang's answer left Mansha speechless.

Moreover, she didn't really want to do this, but she was worried that the young lord would secretly blame her for poor hospitality, so she made such a decision against her will.

Now, since the young lord sternly refused, she naturally pushed the boat smoothly!

"Lord Lord, wise and wise, this is the negligence of his subordinates, please punish him!" she immediately stood up and apologized.

Yun Lang smiled lightly and stopped, comforting: "It's just some small things, just change it...... By the way, I was going to wait until I had some food before I went to ask you about something, but since I'm here, I'll ask first!"

"My lord, you need to eat carefully, your body is important, and it is okay for your subordinates to wait for a while!" she hurriedly persuaded.

Inadvertently, she discovered another advantage of the young lord, that is, he was diligent enough!

Yun Lang shook his head, motioned for her to sit down, and immediately said, "About two days ago, I sent some guards one after another, and ordered them to go to Shining Gold Town first and make necessary preparations. Have you seen them?"

"Your Excellency, Huya Pass is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are few people who come and go. In the last few days, no one has passed through here except the lord and your servants!" Mansha replied truthfully,

"How is that possible...... The master had obviously sent a dozen guards, and even a few of them had been driven away...... Vivien was surprised.

Those people, although not very reliable, will not disappear into thin air!

Along the way, they didn't encounter them or find anything out of the ordinary, so it stands to reason that they should have cleared this level first.......

She suspects Mansa of lying!

Mansa explained with a wry smile: "Lord Vivian, if there are really so many guards and arrive here in advance, there is no way I don't know, and there is no reason to hide it!"

Yun Lang raised his hand and signaled the two not to quarrel, and he was also thinking quickly: they couldn't disappear out of thin air...... If they were still alive, they wouldn't have been able to stay in the Twilight Forest for too long, and sooner or later they would have to enter the territory of Shining Gold through here...... No, no, no, how can I forget the attackers, there are more than a hundred of them, and they are fully armed, how can they enter and exit the checkpoint so swaggeringly? Even if they can succeed, it will not be easy to hide their tracks afterwards

His face was straight, and he turned to ask Mansha: "Garrison officer, have there been a large number of adventurers passing through here one after another recently?"

".......No," she continued, a little embarrassed, "In fact, no one has passed through here for nearly half a year!"

She didn't want to say it so directly, she was worried that the young lord would abandon this level. But she felt that the young lord seemed to have noticed something, and in order to avoid suspicion, she quickly told the truth.

"Oh...... If you want to enter and exit the Twilight Forest, is there any other suitable place besides here?" Yun Lang asked again.

"Yes!" she thought that the young lord would not be fooled, so as not to be self-defeating, so she had to tell the truth: "In the southwest of Huya Pass, behind a mound, there is a small village called Shelter Village, through which you can also enter the twilight forest. After that, you can take a few detours to the relatively safe road in front of the checkpoint. ”

Vivien was a little puzzled, so she tried to ask, "The Twilight Forest has no walls, can't others just find a random place and go directly to the Twilight Forest?"

Yun Lang, who was thinking about things, casually explained, "You're right...... However, it is not easy to identify the direction in the forest, there is no road to find, and there is no guide, so it is easy to get lost, and if you are not careful, you will not be able to get out. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, no one else will enter the forest unprepared. ”

At this time, Yun Lang's thoughts had matured, and he immediately said to Mansha: "Garrison officer, two days ago, a group of people attacked me and my team, and after they were repulsed, they also fled a lot. I feel that it is possible that these people entered the Twilight Forest through Sheltered Village, and after they were defeated, it is possible that they will pass through there and return to the territory of Shining Gold Town again!"

"Please give the order of the lord, and I will lead someone to intercept it!" she immediately got up and took the initiative to ask for her life without hesitation.

"No hurry...... You should send some people to reconnoiter first, and if you find something abnormal, then make plans!" Yun Lang suggested.

"Yes! Let's arrange it!" When she turned to leave, she was left behind by Yunlang again.

"Let the spies sent out, be as careful as possible, don't alarm them, if you can catch a few alive, it will be great!" he admonished uneasily.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, these people I have trained will not disappoint you!" she replied confidently.

After Mansha left quickly, Vivien reminded with some concern: "Master, you seem to have overlooked a possibility, in case this female garrison officer already knew about this and was in league with those people...... Then we won't be able to run away!"

"It's not impossible, but at the moment, there are no signs of that. Moreover, this is a level, even if she can cover the sky with one hand, she will never dare to do it lightly here, unless she wants to burn the jade. But even so, how many people will accompany her and embark on a road of no return?" he sneered confidently: "This female garrison officer, with persistence, perseverance, and must also have faith, how can she be willing to bear the notoriety of attacking and killing the lord!"

Of course, these words were mainly for Vivien. In fact, in his heart, he is also worried about this.

However, he can't show the slightest, otherwise Vivian and the others will infinitely magnify this suspicion, and in the end, they may also force the female garrison who doesn't have this mind to a point of no return!
