Sitting in the largest cabin, Esther sipped a glass of sweet wine. Across from him www.biquge.info Reynoldson and Whitebeard Old Man Chobgo were leaning together and whispering something.

However, for Easter's hearing, whether they are low or not has no effect at all.

"I really didn't expect you old bastard to bring such a team this time! Make me all disgraced! Say it! What are you doing with so many good players in the White Tower?" Jobgo patted Reynoldson's thin shoulder hard, making this shameless old man with no bottom line grin.

"Nothing, nothing! You can't tell yet, these are all children! I'm just taking them to the White Tower to see them for a long time. Reynoldsen sloppily and then changed the subject: "Chobago, how long have we not seen each other? Eight years, right?"

"Seven years and eight months. You bastard, I remember that clearly. You drank it! I ......" Jobbago's emotions rose again, and his hands slapped harder.

"It's better to hide good wine and not drink it, than to wash your feet. You miser. If I hadn't drunk your wine, you'd have hidden them as treasures. Reynoldson clearly has his own opinion on Chobago's accusations. He dodged Chobago's slap and asked, "What are you doing in the Eye of the Ashes instead of enjoying yourself at home?"

"You don't know?" asked Chobago, with some suspicion. "You're a ghost in the old land of the White Tower. You didn't even know what happened so seriously in the White Tower last year?"

"Uh-huh. I didn't make it last year. What the hell is going on?"

"Last year, the team sent by the Liquor Industry Association to collect koji from the Eye of Ashes went missing. All the koji that was collected was also missing. There were forty people, and not a single one of them went back. No one is alive, no corpse is dead. This year, the association specially organized a strong team to search for clues. ”

"It's a strange thing. It's not been a day or two since the Liquor Industry Association came here to collect koji, and it has been safe and sound for hundreds of years, so why did it happen last year!

"What black eats black, we are legitimate businessmen. Owns a wine franchise in the Colombo area. Chobago's hand waved dissatisfiedly. "The strange thing is that this batch of missing koji has never been seen again. We have been carefully watching the slightest changes in the market, and that batch of koji has indeed not reappeared. ”

"Did you find any clues? The Purple Star Flower Grassland of the Eye of Ashes is a safe area, and there will be no undead at night, and the traces left a year ago should still be well preserved, right?"

"There are indeed traces left. But......" Chobago's face showed an unspeakable look on his face, and after a moment's hesitation, he waved his hand sharply. "Reynoldson, take your people and me to take a look. If you can help find out what happened, then even the Liquor Association owes you a favor. ”

Easter saw Reynoldsen winks at him and Mora Gault, and stood up and followed him out of the cabin.

"Sonia, be vigilant when we leave, there are unknown dangers here. ”

"Bubuka, you will be in charge of defense after I leave, and if there is a situation, you will launch a rocket, and I will be on the cliff not far away. Leonardo, you go with us. ”

After admonishing their own people, the three Easters left the cabin camp after Jobago.

Chobago, who was at the front, had another stick in his hand, and as he went, he told the three of them about the clues he had found.

"The clue was discovered by Leonardo. Chobago, pointing to the middle-aged man who was following him. "Leonardo is a senior apprentice of Mr. Sherlock, and this time the association specially invited Mr. Sherlock to help. Unfortunately, Mr. Sherlock was too busy to have time, so he sent his high apprentice Leonardo. ”

"The clue is ahead. "The middle-aged man named Leonardo is very agile and a rare player under the legend. But at this time, he also seemed a little nervous, because the four people who followed him were all legendary powerhouses.

"It's only been a few hours since you reached the Eye of the Ashes, hasn't you? "Esther roughly calculated, after the time spent on the road, it would take two or three hours at most for Chobago's party to reach the cabin camp. In such a short period of time, they not only completed the camp, but also seemed to have explored a large area around the camp.

Leonardo shook his head and glanced at the half-plane sun overhead. "It's not my credit. I just looked at the diary left by the team leader last time and found something different from it. ”

"Oh, what caught your attention?" asked Renzold, walking behind the tall Chobago, hiding in his shadow.

"An area. There is one area where the purple star flowers grow particularly well, and the height of the plants and the size of the flowers are much higher than the rest of the place. Leonardo pulled out a palm-sized black notebook from his bosom and handed it to Reynoldsson.

"Team Leader Beta also disappeared last year, but his diary is still in the cabin. Take a look at the date of the last day. That should be the day they all disappeared. ”

Reynoldsen took the journal and flipped to the last page with words. "I'll see. The seventh day after entering the White Tower. It's just over half of the time!(The ratio of the time flow between the Four Seasons and the Half-Plane and Coronia is fifteen:one)"

"What's written on it?" Esther leaned over and looked at the contents of the journal.

On the yellowed paper, Leader Beta's handwriting was still clearly visible. On the last day's diary, he wrote a full page:

Today's gain is the sum of the previous six days. It was as if the treasure land had suddenly come into being. Last year, Shuck and I made a detailed tour of the valley floor, which was still a very ordinary meadow last year. It made me feel uneasy. You must know that the Purple Star Flower is a magic plant after all, and the only thing that can make it grow rapidly is the power of magic. And the magical power that affected the growth of the Purple Star Flower this time obviously did not belong to us outsiders, but from the Eye of Ashes itself.

Every year, we outsiders can only stay here for half a month. No, I was wrong. Depending on the speed of time, it is actually every fifteen years that we outsiders only spend half a month here. The region must have undergone unknown changes in the last fifteen years.

For some reason, today I always feel like someone is watching us nearby. But I searched carefully, but found nothing.

Maybe it's because I'm too careful. After all, the association has been collecting koji here safely for hundreds of years.

There are eight days left to leave. The babies in the house must be looking forward to the gifts I bring back to them. It's just a pity that there are still no gifts worth bringing with you on this business trip, so you can't take some koji home! Maybe you can contact other teams that go deep into the house and trade some rare items with them.

Anyway, I'm going to go to that area tomorrow. Working there for a day is worth a week in the rest of the place. This time, we may bring back a large amount of koji in a record-breaking way, and I believe that the old misers in the association will also be generous!

"Old miser?" Esther read out at this, then glanced up at Chobago.

"It's not me! I'm not stingy!" the white-bearded old man suddenly understood the meaning in his eyes, and glared at Reynoldson with anger.

"Beta has a habit of keeping a diary. His relatives and friends knew this. Chobago, with a black face, came to Easter's side. "This is the end of this diary, which means that they had an accident during the day the next day. ”

East frowned and looked at Leonardo, who was walking in the forefront.

"Mr. Leonardo, are you taking us to a different area?"

"That's right, there it is. We all guessed that Beta and his team were missing there. ”

"How far is it?" said Mora Gault suddenly, "I feel an anomalous flow of magic nearby. ”

"Right here. Look, this is it. Leonardo brushed aside the purple star flower in front of him, which was already taller than a normal person, and pointed ahead.

In the direction of his finger, there was a forest of purple star flowers.

"Oh my God!" Even though he had experienced so many things and had been mentally prepared, after seeing the Purple Star Flower Forest here, East still felt that he was shocked.

In the forest in front of him, each purple star flower was as tall as a towering tree, and humans stood under them as if they were standing at the foot of a skyscraper.

At the top of each giant purple star flower, super-large flowers bloom.

"That's not right!" Esther immediately realized what the problem was. "We should be able to see such a tall plant community from the top of the cliff. At the cabin camp, we should also be able to see them as soon as we look up. He looked back in the direction he had come, and the lookout post on the roof was still faintly visible. The distance between the two sides is actually very close.

"It's only four kilometers. Here to the cabin campsite. But you can't see them unless you walk up to them. Chobago's face was full of solemnity.

"Are these pollen?" Esther looked at the forest floor in front of him, sprinkled with a knuckle-sized layer of golden particles.

"That's right, pollen. And it's the best quality. I've never seen such good quality purple star pollen, which makes for the best koji. ”

"That's right!" said Easter, tilting his head and pinching his chin, making a thoughtful look. He held this position for a good five minutes, then looked at Leonardo and asked, "Since you can't find this forest from the outside, then Mr. Leonardo, how did you find this place in just two hours?"

"Of course, according to the diary. It clearly states that the day before everyone goes missing, Leader Beta will take everyone in this direction to collect koji. ”

"Everyone?" said Easter. "Under what circumstances would a camp that would be used for eight days be left alone? There must always be a janitor, right? And the cook, you can eat dry food for one meal at noon, but you can't eat dry food three times a day, right? If I did, I would definitely lose my motivation. ”

"You say a lot, Mr. Easter. Leonardo said proudly: "So, the thing that made Leader Beta disappear was either to go to the cabin camp again afterwards, or the people who stayed in the cabin camp found out that Captain Beta was missing, and they ran over again and completed it again."
