"I'm sorry everyone. The mayor left to convey the good news to Dark's party, and after the mayor left, Catherine smiled wryly and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter, and I want to go with me to see it, but I promise that we must control the time within the time we agreed, and once the time is exceeded, we will give up continuing to search, and give priority to our own affairs." ”

"Okay, big sister, don't explain. Lina returned to her true nature the moment the mayor left, and said without caring at all: "If you don't care about these idle things, it's not normal, everyone is used to it, everyone was ready when they listened to the story just now, and this will definitely be the result in the end, so you don't have to be sorry, hurry up and get down to business, pack up the things you used on the road, change into thick clothes to go out, don't wait for someone to pick us up, we haven't packed it yet." ”

"No, you stay. Catherine shook her head and said: "This time I and Pannis can go together, one is that there are too many people and it's useless, and it's not to fight, and the second is that we go by sled, it is said that there are only three sleds, and we will definitely not be able to sit down, and third, you are all spell casting professions, in order to avoid abnormal performance due to fatigue in case of emergencies in the future, it is better to rest for a while, so this time the two of us can go." ”

"Hmm?" Lina looked at Catherine with a very strange look, pouted and said, "Okay, okay, then you can go by yourself, the four of us will stay and watch the house, and it will save you from thinking that we are in the way, hehe." ”

"I'll go too. Eva suddenly jumped off the ground from the chair and said expressionlessly: "These emotional disputes of human beings are very special, and the data analysis cannot be understood, I need to observe in detail and record carefully, so I will also go." ”

"If you leave, your melee combat power here ......" Catherine hesitated for a moment, and immediately patted her head with a self-deprecating smile and said with a wry smile: "Everyone is already a legendary professional, and I haven't gotten used to it in my concept, okay." If you want to come, we'll see if there's enough space, and if so, come along, though. I guess you can't see the emotional disputes you want to see, but you can see some other disputes, and I hope you don't see any bad results. ”

"Let's go, since you really want to help, let's do some preparation first. Pannis got up and took off his coat from the hanger and put it on his body: "Let's go to that Neo's house first." Know at least the basics. ”

"Can you find any clues when you go to his house?" Catherine and Eva followed, and Catherine asked as she dressed Eva, "If there are any clues in his house, they must have been almost destroyed by the townsfolk walking around." ”

"At least you can find the items he usually uses. "It's good to be able to smell what's going on." ”

Several girls squinted at Pannis at the same time, and Freya said in horror: "Are you a dog?

"It's good to get used to it, when we used to go on adventures together, we thought his nose was smarter than a dog. Catherine said: "I just didn't think that this time I actually said it unabashedly, is it that after you smell it, we can lead you to lead the way?" ”

"Hey. I guess I used this verb incorrectly. Pannis protested dissatisfiedly: "And although there will be a lot of sled dogs, but those are ordinary dogs that have not been specially trained, and the difference between smells is not so accurate, and it is likely that there will be omissions, so I said that I also smell it, and it is good to have an extra insurance." And you probably don't know, those top hunters in the Elven Forest, each of them has a more sensitive sense of smell than a dog, no matter how complicated the environment is, as long as they leave traces in a day. can't hide their noses, those people really rely on smell to find clues, let's go, you look after the house. If the liaison from the Bailong clan comes to look for us, let them wait a bit, but it shouldn't be needed, I guess we should be back in a day at most. ”

The three of them walked out of the courtyard and found that a large part of the snow had been cleared from the street. The snow left behind is just below the surface of the feet, and it does not affect people's normal walking. Walking on the street, the air after the snow is unique and fresh in the cold, take a deep breath, the refreshing air goes down the nasal cavity and goes deep into the lungs, and the chill rushes to the top of the head, so that the whole person is awake. As she stepped on the road, there was a rhythmic creaking sound under her feet, and the feeling of stepping on the snow made Eva feel particularly novel, although she still looked calm, but on closer inspection, it was obvious that although her speed remained the same, the distance she took with each step was at least doubled, and the speed of her steps was doubled, and the creaking sound became more frequent.

"Is it fun?" Pannis asked, amusedly, "I've never really felt any of this." ”

"The structure of the snow is strange. Not surprisingly, Eva once again ignored Pannis, and strangely enough, in the adventure party, only with Pannis, Eva would change the subject in this way: "The elemental state is between water and ice, like an incompletely transformed ice element, but the internal structure is much fluffier, and I wonder how this form comes naturally." ”

"You guy. Unable to laugh or cry, she rubbed Eva's supple blonde hair with her hands, and Eva quickly dodged Pannis's raging hands, and ducked to the side and slapped the hair on the top of her head with an expressionless face, so that the beautiful blonde hair was neat again.

There were a lot of people on the street, and most of them knew these three people who had been with the silver-haired priest, so the three of them asked random people on the street, and they successfully found Neo's home, and after waiting at the door for a few minutes, the mayor received the information they had entrusted to the passers-by on the street, and hurried over. The security of the town is very good, and everyone has no habit of locking the door, under the witness of the mayor, the three of them opened the door of Neo's house with a push and walked into the house.

"Looks like you don't have the habit of locking doors here. Pannis looked around and said, "Don't you lock the door when you go far away?" what if a wild beast runs in the night to avoid the cold." ”

"Well, when you go out of the house, you usually lock the door, but sometimes you forget it. The mayor explained: "As for this door, it should have been opened when Old Dak was looking for his daughter, and it is said that Old Dake was to Neo like he was to half a son, and Old Dake also had the key to Neo's family. ”

"Oh, I see. Pannis nodded, making no comment, and wandered around the room with his hands behind his back. Neo's home is small, with only a kitchen, a narrow bathroom, and a pantry on the first floor, except for a living room with a door, and even smaller on the second floor, with only two bedrooms. Pannis didn't say a word, every room went around, the room was very clean, and everything was very neatly arranged, obviously the owner of the room was very attentive. Pannis rummaged through the contents of each room, and really picked up some knick-knacks and put them under his nose to smell them, and finally returned to the living room on the first floor, where he took another deep breath, as if he wanted to remember the smell. The mayor didn't understand what was going on at all, and watched Pannis's movements blankly, until Pannis finally nodded at him before he reacted, and asked in a daze, "Are you done checking this?"

"Yes, alright. Pannis's expression was strange, and he said to the mayor, "Can you take me to that Chester's house?" ”

The mayor was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "You mean, this matter also has something to do with Little Chester?"

"It's hard to say. Pannis shook his head and said, "But don't you think it's strange? I remember when we first met, you said that the children who went north to see the world, no matter what happened outside, would still be back in town in a few years." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. The mayor remembered and nodded, "That's what I said." ”

"And looking at the layout of this room, Neo was ready to travel far away when he left, and everything was packed. Pannis pointed to the furniture in the house and said, "Since the owner of the house has already packed up these things so carefully, how can he forget to lock the door? And I looked at the lock on the door, there was no trace of locking from the outside during the recent snowstorm, so it could only be that he didn't lock the door when he left, which contradicts the previous guess, what do you say?"

"So you think little Chester might know something?" asked the mayor tentatively, "or did little Neo leave his house to Chester Jr. when he left?"

"The two of them have a good relationship. Pannis asked, "Would it be strange to entrust it to Chester if Neo left?" and there is another basis for my judgment, the smell of the two chairs. The townsfolk who had come in before were clearly not in the mood to sit and rest here, so there were still two smells left on the chairs, this one was the owner of the house, and the other one was a stranger, and it could not be a woman like Betty. What's more, the two scents are close in time, and it's likely that the stranger left the room with the owner. ”

Indeed, the two of them grew up playing together and lost their parents almost the same year, and later became closer, like brothers. "It's possible, damn little Chester, did he really hide the truth for those two little ones?" the mayor recalled, "If that's the case, I'm going to have to beat him to death for his dead parents." ”

"I don't think his parents want you to do it for him. Although Catherine was joking, her face was still a little solemn and confused: "Let's go ask this Chester first, I think he will tell us the answer." (To be continued.) )
