"Compared with other books, I think the scholar should have read this book carefully, and after I checked it carefully, I found some traces of the scholar's stay here. ”

Pointing to the inconspicuous page of the book, under the seeming gaze of the Samuel family, he took out a blank paper map, spread it out on the long table, and continued: "Then I went to Margaret and asked Renee about the distance she had traveled, and found a very coincidental thing. ”

"What?"

"In this area of Renee's route home, there is sawgrass, which is the plant in this plant distribution, and I just pointed out the plants on that page, what does this mean?"

He looked up at the crowd.

"Is it possible that he went there?"

"There is a great possibility. Alan nodded: "If you follow my current train of thought, the scholar found an anomaly about this sawtooth grass in Renee, and then he went to the library to find the growth range of this grass, and compared the route Renee had taken, and finally - he went here!"

Fu clicked on a certain part of the map, and then pushed the book in front of Gross, and Alan ended the speech.

"So that's what I found. ”

Although there is no point of forgetting to sleep and eat, he also studied for a night last night, and it is still quite difficult at this time, but Alan knows that this conversation will not end because of this, but has just begun.

At this time, the hall was silent, and the servants consciously avoided it.

Because this kind of thing belongs to Gross's family, only the Gross family and Jacob are discussing at the long table, and no one else exists.

"Two very simple choices, this is not far from the Sentinel Forest, shall we go there and check it out, or shall we not go?"

Sentinel Forest, the place Alan pointed out, is located in the southwest corner of Samuel, not very far from Samuel, only two days away.

"Do you need to ask, check what you have to lose?" Before the others could respond, Catherine slapped the matter on the back.

"I agree. Jacob also nodded, on the one hand, it was his friend for many years, and on the other hand, the life and death of his granddaughter, at this time, he naturally did not hesitate anything: "Whether or not we can find clues there, we need to go there, because there is no better way for us to do it than this." ”

"Then the matter is settled. Gross finally ended the brief discussion, and then looked at Jacob: "My brothers are going to finish it first, and I'll have to bother you to go there, uncle." ”

"No problem. Now that Samuel is short of manpower, Jacob has long been mentally prepared, so naturally he has no objection, but then he looks at Allen: "I hope little Chrisch can be with me." ”

"Why?" Alan looked up strangely.

"Obviously, your means are much more magical than all of us, this time you go out not to fight but to find people, compared to strength, means are more important, you and I go, maybe when you can help. ”

"But I still have a newspaper to take care of—" Alan was reluctant to go along, because in his opinion, it was just a matter of finding someone there, and if there was any, if there was none, what means would be used?

However, he did not want to go, but others wanted him to go: "I will order that every officer in my service must subscribe to your newspaper, and that no one in the city shall hinder the development of your newspaper." ”

Gross gave him a promise, which is considered a reward?

However, Alan still didn't want to go, he looked at the silent girl opposite: "I said last night, I will accompany Margaret to the theater..."

"I told them to postpone it for a few days. Gross said disapprehantly.

"I...."

Alan wanted to say something, but under the eyes of everyone "eating people", he finally compromised, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Jacob: "Okay, when are we leaving." ”

"Now, how's that?"

Looking at the sky outside, it was just getting light, and Alan couldn't help but say, "Could it be too anxious?"

"Go early and come back early. Jacob's answer was sonorous.

"Well, listen to you. Alan sighed helplessly: "But can you wait for me for a while, I'll go to the newspaper office." ”

"No problem" Jacob nodded: "It's just so that I'm going to prepare my bags, and we'll go directly when you come back." ”

**

It seems that every time there is a change, Alan is caught off guard, originally he thought that after he found the clue, he would have nothing to do with him, but obviously, because of all kinds of special features, he was gradually "valued" by the Samuel family, and resolutely began to "reuse".

If it was a stranger, Alan could still ignore it, but now that he eats and lives in Samuel, and has some good friendships with their family, it would be too uninteresting to refuse ruthlessly.

Fortunately, Alan didn't have much to do during this time, except for studying how he could harvest energy groups more effectively, that is, developing the newspaper was busy.

"If the Duke really promises that, then there will be basically no hindrance to our development in Samuel. ”

In the interval between Allen's arrival at the newspaper office, he explained to the merchant what had happened, so much so that the merchant was pleasantly surprised.

"Samuel's officials have a deep connection with ordinary citizens, and after they form the habit of buying newspapers, they will definitely bring other people together, coupled with the original attraction of newspapers, I think it won't be long before we can really gain a foothold in Samuel!"

"I think even if I didn't have that, I would have been able to get a foothold with a few more issues. "Allen still has some confidence in the dissemination of newspapers.

"That's different. The merchant shook his head at this: "You don't know, there are many forces that have contacted us openly or covertly during this time, and have even tried it a few times. ”

"And this?" said Allen's disapproving expression.

"yes, but I didn't tell you anything about it. The merchant nodded, and then saw Allen's frowning and thoughtful look, and hurriedly added: "But now that the Duke has made such a decision, it proves that our newspaper has his protection, so that as soon as the news is released, basically no one dares to provoke us." ”

"Okay, you can do it. Allen ultimately decided to ignore these minor issues.

Then, without seeing any signs, he suddenly dodged to the husky who was lying honestly in the corner, and before the husky could react, he hugged it in his arms.

"Woo woo

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the husky struggled hard, but in the face of the invincible special physique of others, it did not work at all in the hands of Allen, regardless of the husky's struggle, Allen hugged it and stuffed it into his cloak, and then under a silent gaze, he finally completely "swallowed" the husky.

Clapping his hands, Alan walked back to his place as if nothing happened, and then continued the conversation with the merchant: "How's the second newspaper ready?"

"It's basically ready, just waiting for you. The merchant replied subconsciously, he hadn't recovered from what had just happened.

"Don't wait for me to do this. Alan waved his hand, he had said that he wanted to publish something special in the second issue of the newspaper, so he had told the merchant about it in advance, but he had been busy with the affairs of the Samuel family these days, and he had not done much of his own business, the manuscript was not finished at all, and he had no clue now.

"I'll talk about it when I get back. It shouldn't take more than a few days. ”

"Okay, there's also about the personnel system...."

"You can do it. Alan was not very interested in this kind of trivial matter, and seeing that there was nothing else important, he patted the merchant's arm, and then got up and wanted to leave, but as if he thought of something, he looked at the merchant meaningfully: "When I come back, I will surprise you." ”

"What surprise?" asked the merchant curiously.

"I won't tell you yet. Alan waved his hand and turned away.

"God is mysterious. Looking at Allen's back, the merchant shook his head speechlessly, but for some reason, the thought that had been hidden for a long time appeared in his heart in vain, and his expression became extremely complicated.

"Could it be the one I thought?"
