Chapter 409: A Deserted Courtyard
In the silent night, Li Mo was moving again and again with the help of the terrain. During the whole process, Li Mo carefully hid his figure, controlled the magic fluctuations when he teleported, and with the help of the concealment potion, no guards discovered Li Mo's existence from beginning to end.
As early as Li Mo's way to Shirika, Kate told Li Mo in detail about the terrain of the entire Blue Fire family. At the same time, he also carefully described the location of the small courtyard where he and his father lived in the Blue Fire family countless times.
Now, the direction in which Li Mo is moving is the small courtyard that carries Kate's childhood memories. Based on Kate's description, when the moon had shifted a little to the west, Li Mo finally reached his destination.
It's just that, somewhat unexpectedly, but not surprisingly, the courtyard where Kate and her father once lived was silent at this time. Under Li Mo's perception, there was no one in the courtyard.
After Li Mo entered this courtyard, he was even more sure of his thoughts, there was no sign of anyone moving in the small courtyard, he stretched out his hand and touched it, and a thick layer of dust had fallen on the table. Could it be that you have found the wrong house?
After thinking about it, Li Mo came to the door of the house and groped behind the door. As his fingers felt a feeling of unevenness, Li Mo leaned closer, and through the faint light outside, a very abstract painting appeared in front of him.
It's a very rudimentary painting that looks like it was carved into the door with a knife. Two villains are outlined with simple lines, one larger and the other slightly smaller. The larger one has a large sword in his hand, while the smaller one has a staff in his hand. Both villains had big smiling faces painted on their faces. Although the whole body is composed of simple lines, Li Mo can feel the smile on the villain's face even more. That bright smile seemed to have come out of the door and shone into Li Mo's heart.
This was painted by Kate, who carved this abstract pattern on the door when Kate first came here. He wanted to use the staff in his hand to protect his father, and in Kate's heart at that time, he was already capable of making his father live a happy life, so the painting was full of happiness.
Seeing this painting, Li Mo was sure that he was not looking for the wrong place. So, was Kate's father transferred, or...
The latter possibility, Li Mo didn't dare to think about it. If Kate's father had really been killed by the Blue Fire family, Li Mo didn't know how to comfort Kate's heart. Even if he kills all the people in the Blue Fire family, he can't make up for his guilt to Kate.
However, Li Mo thought about it, this possibility should not be great. It's no secret that Kate left with her. And then, since the Blue Fire family already knows this, then they will not kill Kate's father.
After all, if one day, Kate comes to the Blue Fire Family again, his father can also be a bargaining chip in the hands of the Blue Fire Family.
As for why the Blue Fire family thought that Kate would come back, Li Mo naturally had his own judgment. In the eyes of the Blue Fire family, since he is the person in the goddess of life, he will definitely have the ability to conform to the metaphor. Perhaps, in the eyes of the Blue Fire family at this time, he has the ability to demagogue.
And everything the Blue Fire Family has done for itself has been known to itself. In this case, even for self-preservation, they will keep Kate's father. At least until then, this is also one of the bargaining chips to be able to negotiate terms with yourself.
Li Mo was confident that if he was the patriarch of the Blue Fire family, he would definitely not kill Kate's father like this. At the very least, let him play the last role, even if the hope is slim, it is better than having a complete feud with Kate.
So, where will Kate's father be transferred by them? Standing in this dark room, Li Mo pondered the possible answer.
When he came, Li Mo had imagined all kinds of possibilities, and this kind of thing was what Li Mo didn't want to see. If Kate's father is really not here, then it will be much more difficult for Li Mo to find him again.
Li Mo looked at the furnishings in the room, everything in the room was in order, the seats were neatly arranged, and there seemed to be no traces of a fight. Walking to the bedroom, Li Mo noticed that there was still a futon on the bed in the bedroom.
The bedding on the bed had not been used for a long time, and it was also covered with a thick layer of dust. However, the bedding was stacked neatly, as if the owner of the house had no intention of traveling, but was still ready to return for rest in the evening.
In this case, it means that Kate's father was unaware when he was transferred? Li Mo pondered, stretched out his hand, and patted him on the bed. In that case, Kate's father didn't know he was going to leave here when he left?
And after he left, no one touched the things in the house, and no one came back to clean up them. Is he here, under house arrest?
Li Mo just thought of this, and suddenly felt that someone was passing by outside the house. In Li Mo's perception, there were two people walking towards this place from far and near.
Could it be that he has been discovered? Li Mo sensed that the two of them were getting closer and closer to the small courtyard where he was, and such a thought flashed through his mind. However, at this time, Li Mo did not panic, but moved in a space and came to the door of the small courtyard. If they were discovered, how did they find out?
Behind the door, Li Mo quietly waited for the arrival of the two. As the two approached, Li Mo no longer needed to use the spatial magic sense, and he could hear the heavy footsteps of the two people.
Along with the footsteps of the two, there was a light cough. This made Li Mo feel relieved, maybe it was the guards who passed by here, if he was discovered, then the people who came to check would not make such a startling move.
Sure enough, after the footsteps reached the closest, they began to slowly move away again. Along with it, there was also the light of the illuminating magic stone, which cast a bright beam of light through the crack in the door, and as the beam tilted, it seemed that it was slowly going away.
At this time, Li Mo put his mind at ease. However, then, with the footsteps of the two, a sentence sounded that caught Li Mo's attention.
"Say, what's going on in the clan lately?" Maybe it was because this place was far away from the residence of the clansmen in the Blue Fire Clan, and it was already an area where the servants lived, and the person who spoke did not deliberately lower his voice, and in the silent night, this sentence clearly reached Li Mo's ears.
