Chapter 336: Return to Kelmos

The results of the search were not satisfactory.

Despite Michelle leading the way, Leach and the others failed to find anything special, but they found a pile of rubble that was obviously man-made, but they searched it back and forth six times and found nothing unusual, and the group had no choice but to give up.

"Strange, how could there be nothing? shouldn't it......" Leach rubbed his already messy hair in annoyance.

To be honest, his reasoning was wrong one after another, which really discouraged the originally confident Leach, and now he even began to wonder if he had thought the problem wrong from the beginning.

"That...... May I ask a question?" Seeing that Leach was so distressed, Tizzel spoke timidly.

"Sister Li'er, you can ask if you have anything, didn't I say it earlier, you use it so restrained. "Maybe it's because of his temperament, every time Leach sees Ti Xinlier, he always feels a peace in his heart, and the original incomprehensible irritability has dissipated a lot.

"Michelle said that they usually don't have people here, they go out by themselves when they need to buy supplies, so why did someone suddenly visit a few days before the crime? Even if Michelle's father didn't want her to be involved with John, we can't know what those people came for, but we can always know where they came from, right? Because they can't appear out of thin air. In that case, why do we have to confine ourselves to investigating here, and why don't we go to a nearby town to inquire about the news?"

After listening to Ti Xin Li'er's words, Leach suddenly had a feeling of being sudden, slapped his forehead suddenly, and said excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I expect it, Sister Li'er, thank you so much!"

Ti Xinlil was taken aback by Leach's exaggerated reaction, but she was happy to be able to help.

With Tibriel's prompt, the group decided to inquire about a small town called Gondoguna.

The reason why they chose Gondoguna instead of the closer Kelmos is that in addition to the fact that Leach and they have just come over there, and if there is really such a group of people passing by in the situation of the small town of Kelmos a few days ago, it is impossible to get no news at all, but also because there is no real person in charge of the region in the current Kermos, and some more secret information is impossible to find out at all, rather than wasting time back in Kermos, it is better to look elsewhere for clues.

Of course, there are also reasons why Leach wants to make his way to Palmeira.

However, it was so coincidental that when the group returned to the fork in the road where they had met the Michelle siblings, John, who had been acting very healthy except for some mental confusion, fell ill without warning.

Although Leach gave him antipyretic medicine in the first place, it seems that John's hot body temperature was not simply caused by wind chill, and Leach's medicine was of no use at all.

In addition to his frighteningly high temperature, John was still talking nonsense, and the only thing Leach could distinguish was the word "don't", and the rest was not inaudible.

However, if you think about it on your toes, you can know that what John said must have something to do with the tragedy that happened that day.

Because of John's illness, the group had to abandon their trip to Gondoguna. Although Michelle was eager for revenge, and said cruelly in advance that she would not hesitate to pay for it even if she wanted her life, but when she really saw that her brother was in danger, how could she really turn a blind eye, and the decision to give up going to Gondoguna was also made by her, and Leach and they could only go with the flow.

Seriously, Leach hadn't expected to be back here after only a few days away from Kelmos, and he thought he would have to wait until they were done with their business in the Federation and returned to pick up the Blue Enchantress.

The fat owner of the inn was also very surprised to see Leach and the others returning, but, since John's illness could not be delayed, Leach did not talk much nonsense to the fat shopkeeper, and rushed out after asking him where the best doctor in town was.

However, when Leach followed the fat shopkeeper's instructions to find the town's infirmary, he was told that the doctor had been summoned to the barracks.

In desperation, Leach had no choice but to run to the barracks again.

As a "regular" in the barracks some time ago, Leach found a doctor without the slightest difficulty. To his surprise, the doctors were not here to treat the wounded soldiers who were training, but to be specially invited to treat Howard.

And the results of the diagnosis and treatment surprised Leach even more, Howard was actually poisoned!

It stands to reason that as the town's bandit hero, Howard will definitely not be hated by the townspeople, and the only thing that can harm him is the remnants of the "rebels".

However, Leach knew that Howard was injured by Qinguo's affairs, and had been locking himself in the barracks tent and drinking, judging from the information that Leach had, under the premise that Qinguo and other leaders had left, it was impossible for those remnants who did not have much combat power to quietly break through the garrison of the barracks to harm him.

Thinking about it this way, the matter of Howard being poisoned became confusing.

What made Leach even more strange was that the poison in Howard was not poison in the ordinary sense, at least as the best doctor in the town of Thermos, he could not find out what kind of poison he was, let alone treat him.

"Mr. Utah, please save Howard!" Leach was thinking about who would be trying to persecute Howard when the soldier who brought him suddenly knelt in front of him with a pop.

This person Leach is relatively familiar, because every time he comes over, this little soldier leads the way, although he doesn't know what the other party's specific name is, but he knows that this person is small with Howard, because he is timid by nature, so he was arranged by Howard to be a herald, and it seems that he has a very close relationship with Howard.

"You get up first. Leach was startled and hurriedly reached out to help, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it, don't be so scary......"

How could an ordinary herald be Leach's opponent, it was easy to pick it up.

"I've heard that adventure hunters are a well-informed bunch, Mr. Utah, you must know what happened to Howard, I beg you, for the sake of your acquaintance with Howard, you can save him!"

As he spoke, the man was about to kneel down again, but Leach hurriedly grabbed him and said with a wry smile: "I don't know who you listened to, but I really don't have a clue about Howard's poison, and besides, I'm here to find a doctor to help me see a doctor, so I really can't stay here for too long." Otherwise, I'll take the doctor to see the patient first, and I'll come back when I'm done with my work, can you see it?"
