Chapter Forty-Six: Fenix Without Saying Goodbye
Standing in the doorway was a girl wrapped in cotton clothes, with only a pretty red face and a pair of beautiful gold-rimmed glasses, she was panting heavily, and even though it was extremely cold, a fine bead of sweat still oozed from her forehead and the tip of her slender nose.
It seems that before coming here, she had gone through a lot of intense exercise, combined with her eager expression, maybe she trotted all the way here.
This girl is Lin Yue, she saw that it was Jiang Quan who opened the door to greet her, she tried to breathe slowly, and asked in her delicate voice, which was constantly undulating due to wheezing, "Excuse me, is my brother here?"
Jiang Quan glanced into the living room and said with a smile: "Come in, come in and sit for a while." ”
Lin Jue, who was in the living room, also heard the delicate voice coming from outside the door, and he wondered in his heart: "Is it Yue'er? Isn't she going to look for the little phoenix? What is she doing here?"
Lin Yue's footsteps were very hurried, causing Jiang Quan to walk quickly, and in a moment he walked through the hallway to the living room.
Compared to Lin Jue, she will also sigh about the layout of the living room, Lin Yue is not so idle, she just walked into the living room, as soon as she saw Lin Jue, she trotted over, the wooden floor was trampled on and there was a creaking sound, and she didn't stop until he was beside him.
Looking at her eager expression, Lin Jue had a faint feeling in his heart, and wondered: "What's going on? Why did you suddenly come here? Sit down and rest for a while." ”
Lin Yue still maintained a standing posture and looked at Lin Jue with an eager expression: "Brother, Miss Phoenix is gone." ”
"Gone?"
Lin Jue was stunned when he heard this.
Jiang Quan was also stunned, he naturally knew who the phoenix they were talking about. However, how could such a great god disappear for no reason?
"Don't worry, don't worry, maybe she didn't tell us where she went?" Jiang Quan hurriedly comforted.
Lin Jue was puzzled: "You can tell me clearly, why is it gone?Is it not in your own room?"
Lin Yue shook his head and said: "She is not in her own room, I haven't seen her for many days, and I also asked the guards near the Governor's Palace, and they all said that they haven't seen her for a long time." ”
After a moment of silence, Lin Jue stood up and said, "Let's go, go back and see if there are any clues, she shouldn't disappear for no reason." ”
Lin Jue now has a bad feeling in his heart, for more than ten days, there is no one, when he suddenly remembered her and went to look for her, the person suddenly disappeared. He is now more of a deep self-reproach, blaming himself for being careless. For such a long time, such a lively person disappeared around him, and he didn't notice it at all?
He shook his head helplessly, and said secretly: "This is still related to my own habits, I am used to it, where do I care, what do I care about what the people around me do?"
Sure enough, Phoenix's room, which was illuminated by the oil lamp that had just been lit, was empty and cold, and Lin Jue and Lin Yue came here, except for the cold breath that was not much different from the outside, there was nothing here. Inside, the dreary air means that this place has been vacant for a long time.
"Looks like it's been a few days, let's go. ”
Lin Jue sighed softly, and just as he was about to leave, his gaze was attracted by a crystal luster on the ground.
By the light of the oil lamp, he looked closely, and it turned out to be a pair of red crystal shoes, which were inlaid with fine powder of gold and silver, and the powder glittered in the light, like a starry sky, magnificent and profound.
He walked over and picked up his shoes. Staring at the crystal slipper in his hand, Lin Jue's brows were tightly furrowed.
"These shoes, I've seen her wear them once, are here. But if she really wanted to put them on in front of people, why did she hide in her own house? Why didn't she put them on when she wasn't here and went outside in the snow? Who would do such an unusual thing under normal circumstances? Walk barefoot in the snow and ice?"
Lin Jue's voice was very small, as if he was muttering to himself, and as if he was saying these words to others, Lin Yue, who was standing silently behind him, tilted his little head, and his face condensed a look of doubt.
"Brother, are you alright?"
Lin Jue shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm fine." ”
The trace of Phinex disappeared suddenly, Lin Jue was naturally more worried than anyone else, after all, she was the one who brought her to the Eastern Continent, and in more than ten days, such a big living person suddenly disappeared, no matter what, this can be related to the word missing. Now that the person has gone missing, it is most important to search for him as soon as possible.
When Lin Jue returned to the governor's office, the first thing he did was to mobilize an army to search the whole city, and even the Snow Wolf Knights joined the search team. However, three days have passed, whether it is Phoenix City or within ten miles of the city, Phinex is like evaporating from the world, and still nothing has been found.
"Where can she go, and where will she go?"
At this time, it was almost late at night, but Lin Jue still couldn't sleep, and Phoenix suddenly disappeared, which made him anxious. Counting the time he went to the Ice Plains Kingdom before, it had been almost a month, Lin Jue had only seen her twice, as the person who came to this world and accompanied him for the longest time, she disappeared like this, and he always felt how unreal this feeling was.
Lin Yue had been called to sleep by him, and he was the only one left in the office, still sitting on the chair with a sad face, looking at the pair of shining red crystal shoes on the table with dull eyes.
"Are you thinking about something?" A beautiful voice came from the door, Lin Jue turned his head to look, it turned out to be a tulip. She was leaning quietly against the door at the moment, looking at her with a smile.
Elve, this near-perfect creature, including intelligence, is so perfect that it makes people jealous, who would have imagined that in less than a month, an elf who had never heard Chinese before, after a period of communicating with Chinese speakers, could miraculously learn what is called the most difficult language in the world to learn?
Even Lin Jue, who had seen this scene with his own eyes a few days ago, was still surprised when he thought about it now.
Lin Jue glanced at her and didn't answer, but that dull expression, in Tulip's opinion, represented acquiescence.
"I heard you're looking for someone?" Tulip slowly walked over to the chair opposite Lin Jue and sat down, asking.
Lin Jue smiled reluctantly and said, "Yes, this person should be remembered, it is the girl with red hair, wearing a red dress, and bare feet every day." ”
Tulip smiled in return and said, "I remember, like a girl completely wrapped in flames, once you see it, you will never forget it." ”
After a pause, Tulip asked, "Why don't you ask me for help, though?"
Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "There are so many soldiers, I haven't found them after searching for so long, I'm afraid it's useless to look for you, right?"
Tulip shook her head and said, "Are you so sure I can't find it?"
Lin Jue replied casually: "If you can find it, of course it's great." Alright, no kidding, let me be alone for a while. ”
His whole person is like a deflated ball, nothing that has happened during this period of time is good, he has long been numb, and the whole person has been listless recently.
Tulip looked at Lin Jue with her extremely serious expression and said, "I'm not kidding, I can really find it." ”
Lin Jue was stunned, he raised his head and met the serious eyes of the tulip.
Tulip sighed softly, grabbed Lin Jue's arm and stood up, and said, "Don't worry, what I said is true, maybe I may not be sure that others will find it, but that girl, I'm sure I can find it." ”
