Chapter Seventy-Five: Little Fatuna
"What's wrong? Loki, isn't the mushroom snake soup up to your appetite?"
The boss of SAINT ANGELO was on the other side of the table, spread his hands and said, "I'll let you stop getting these strange wild things, look at me, and don't eat these things." ”
Loki waved his hand, interrupting Old Mandel's nagging.
He clearly remembered something, and his eyes were fixed on the young couple looking for a child outside the window.
The half-elf boy immediately asked, "They, what is the name of their child?"
The boss of SAINT ANGELO said strangely: "Well, who are you talking about?"
"Agernon, Pamela, the child they've been looking for, what's the child's name?"
Old Mandel's wrinkled face thought for a moment before he said, "Well, Fatuna, it's a girl, a mischievous and cute little fellow, we all call her, little Fatuna." ”
"Poor little Fatuna, probably because of her mischievousness, the little girl's parents are not willing to give her a surname......"
In Loki's optic nerve image, a large number of memory videos suddenly flashed back quickly, and the image flashed forward rapidly, finally stopping in the cave not far from the waterfall before he entered the Silent Town.
A picture scrawled on the stone wall, a humble picture of a small house and a family of three, and the crooked words with incorrect omissions—'Daddy, Mommy, little Fatuna is coming home.' ’
Loki slapped his head vigorously, put down the food in his hand and rushed out.
But unfortunately, due to the delay just now, the young couple could not be found outside.
The half-elf boy returned to the inn a little unwillingly, and asked the owner of SAINT ANGELO again, asked Agernon and Pamela their home addresses, packed their bags, and went to look for this clue.
It was getting late, and by the time Loki found the location of the young couple's house, it was already completely dark, and the residents of Silent Town had become static wax figures again.
But that's nothing, Loki climbed over the yard of his house, took out a tactical knife and pried open the wooden window, and the whole person climbed in.
There was still a little oil lamp burning inside, and the meal was prepared on the table, and the male and female hosts were sitting at the table waiting for the little daughter to return home.
The anxious expressions of the young couple, as well as the movements of their bodies, were momentarily frozen in time.
From the kitchen to the living room, Loki carefully looked at the surrounding furniture and items, etc., this is a very ordinary half-elf family, almost no different from other small town residents, and there is nothing to see for the time being.
In the visual images of the half-elf boy, while constantly memorizing a wide range of images, he also constantly analyzes the places that may have been missed in the information.
He found a small bedroom.
Inside was a simple wooden bed, against the window and a simple wooden table, on which there were a few charcoal drawings, the drawings were not artistic, and they were obviously drawn by a child of several years old by imagination.
However, compared with the simple picture of the cave wall, it should be from the same little girl.
It was little Fatuna who drew it, but how could she leave a picture in a cave outside?
Of course, the other questions are just curiosity, but Loki's main concern is, how did little Fatuna leave the Silent Town?
Loki turned the little girl's bedroom upside down, without a trace of guilt, he even cut the broken mattress of the simple cot with a straight knife, and the rags inside were all ripped everywhere.
The house was in turmoil, and he eventually found a rag doll and a few simple little girls' linen clothes, but there were no other clues.
Sitting on a simple wooden bed, Loki tapped his head lightly with the tip of his index finger and thought.
On the optic nerve image, rows of information listed clues about Silent Town, and he tried to correlate these clues, but could not come up with any answers that would lead to escaping Silent Town.
This shows that these clues are not enough, and he still has to take the initiative to guess and hypothetize......
Just then, there was a little feedback from the sonic hearing system, and a strange noise came from the kitchen.
The half-elf boy cautiously drew his tactical claw knife and deliberately used his basic stealth technique, but his speed did not slow down much, and he rushed out of the bedroom and searched for the place where the noise was made.
Even with the sound of a deliberate reduction, Loki's footsteps seemed to be noticed one step ahead, and someone left the kitchen and ran out of the house.
Although there was no one to be seen, Loki was sure that it must be a child.
The dinner for a family of three on the table was reduced to a small part, and there were also food with children's tooth marks on it.
"Little Fatuna, could it be this little girl? hasn't she left town yet?"
"Could it be this half-elf little girl?"
Loki had a question in his head, so he didn't dare to relax his steps, and while chasing out, he was also subconsciously controlling the Ultron system.
At the same time, a series of image processing optimization functions such as the sonic hearing system and low-light night vision are opened to the most subtle level, and no trace of tracking is missed.
But the quantum biocomputer let him down.
The auditory and visual functions have lost the trace of the little girl one after another.
In the end, he could only barely rely on the direction that the little girl might leave, and some tiny steps on the ground, and use basic tracking techniques to comprehensively judge and find the traces of the target.
Justin, the thief who died at the hands of the half-elves, has some tracking skills, in the Thieves Guild of Fog Castle City, why is he so arrogant and arrogant in terms of physical combat ability.
It's not all about Justin's background, it's also because of his ability to track and identify traces, and there are few thieves of his calibre who can replace him.
Carefully distinguish the traces left behind, occasionally small footprints stained with dirt, comparing the images in the memory bank.
This reminded him of the footprints in the corridor in the SAINT ANGELO Hotel before, and the traces of the doorknob of his own room.
The hide-and-seek mischievous child in old Mandel's mouth should be this half-elf little girl.
......
This tracking took more than half an hour.
Loki eventually followed outside the town, near the gentle slope to the south, where crops were grown.
After a few more moments, he crossed the gentle slope of the hill and found a wide cave near the rock wall of a valley.
The green glimmer vision shows a clearer scene in the dark night, surrounded by some rolling mountains, not many trees, no other creatures, only a deep cave in front of it.
Loki pulled out his tactical claw knife and wound his crossbow and slung it on his back.
He was as prepared as he could and ready for any danger that might arise.
The half-elf boy burrowed into this cave, and he immediately noticed the traces of artificial carving in the huge cavern.
The ground inside the cave is flat and smooth, and there are stone steps up and down.
The deeper he went, the more shocked Loki became, there were some strange words and symbols carved into the walls of the cave, which were not the lingua franca he knew, and he had never even seen a word.
After turning a few corners in the cave and walking a distance of dozens of steps, the light in the cave became less and less, and the optimization of low-light vision hardly helped.
The vision gradually became dark.
Finally, there was a slight noise from the cave, but it was clearly heard by the half-elf boy who was sneaking, and he fumbled and pulled out two things from his arms.
It was a small torch stained with pine resin, and an oiled paper-wrapped thing that was a flint phosphorite for ignition.
A few slight ignition sounds, and then, in the dark cave, a bright torch suddenly ignited, and the surrounding environment was immediately illuminated.
Loki didn't wait for the small figure inside to escape, and immediately strode over.
This light does not illuminate all the dark places, but it can make the half-elf boy who adjusts his own shimmer vision see it clearly.
This is already the end of the cave, and inside is a vast and huge space.
The walls of the cave are trimmed and flat, and there are decayed wooden tables and chairs inside, apparently once inhabited.
In the innermost part of the cavern, in a slightly sunken stone wall, there was a decaying wooden bed that was about to fall apart.
A small figure was crouching on a wooden bed, a pair of frightened eyes wide as it looked at Loki with a torch.
Half-elf little girl, little Fatuna?
