289 Note

readx;? The slum affair is over. Although there are still many things that have not been solved www.biquge.info Pen, Fun and Pavilion, for example, during his years in the slums, Andy Boer used dragon blood to forcibly renew the lives of many people who should have died. Although those pills had been improved by An many times, the backlash brought by the dragon's blood had been minimized. But after all, it was still dragon's blood, and no one knew if a few people with golden eyes would appear in the slums again.

In fact, it is quite possible, because there is still a question that remains unanswered. That's who killed the boy who died tragically a few days ago. Although everyone thought it was Ann, including himself, he said that it was his own hands. But Ian was a little unconvinced, although he didn't know how he did it, Ian vaguely felt that Doctor An could control the dragon blood power in his body.

This would also explain why Ann had lived in the slums for so many years, and that happened once.

But if Ann wasn't the murderer

That is to say, those people he saved with dragon blood, I am afraid that some people have already walked on the road of dragonization. He mentioned this to Karan, who said that he would keep the Crusaders here for a long time. Ian asked what would happen if the dragonized people were found.

Karan didn't have a clear answer, just looked at the glow reflected in the river and said an answer that people could understand as soon as they heard it: "They should have left this world a long time ago." ”

Ian thought to himself that this might be the only solution.

Oh, I almost forgot about the boy named Roland.

The last time Ian saw him, he was holding Dr. Ann's corpse, walking towards the ruins of the slums. He fainted at the end of last night, and the last thing he saw was Dr. Longhua, who pounced on him. But he's not stupid, he knows that Ann is trying to save him, so he turns himself into a monster.

Let him live.

To die as a human or to survive as a monster? After all these years, he may have found the answer in the moment before the dragon.

Back at the hotel, Ian collapsed straight onto the bed. Selectively ignoring Green's taunt: "Every time you come back, you're wounded, and you have so many enemies." ”

He just wanted to get a good night's sleep, so it was a day and a night. Nicole, who lived next door, came over more than once to ask what was going on, but Ian couldn't wake up before she woke up. So Nicole had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and go back to her room to sleep.

Unbeknownst to her, Ian woke up just as she closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

When he woke up, Ian's first thought was to look for food. Because counting that night, he hadn't eaten for almost two days. At this time, he saw that Green was already drooling from sleep, and Nicole, who wanted to come next door, had already fallen asleep at this time, and no one helped him to do it, so he could only be hungry and ready to go downstairs to find food. Just as he was about to leave the room, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a book on the table, and he looked intently to see that it was Nicole's father's notebook.

"Strange, how did Nicole put her notes here?"

Ian picked up the notebook from the wooden table, remembering that he hadn't read it yet. They were discussing the contents of the note that day when they were interrupted by Moreau, the Rose Lord's butler, and then taken to meet Karan. So Ian didn't know exactly what was in the notebook until now, so he decided to take it down and take a look.

It was afternoon when he returned to the hotel, and he had slept until the next night. There are far fewer pedestrians on the streets, and many shops have closed. Ian walked for a while before he found a restaurant that was still open, went in and ordered, and sat in the corner with his notes in hand.

With the help of the restaurant's fairly bright lights, Ian opened the worn-out notebook.

"On the morning of the year, the day was clear. Today, the exploration team officially entered the Yarman Forest from Helway City, accompanied by twenty-seven people, three senior hunters, eighteen intermediate hunters, and seven free merchants in the hall."

Ian did the math, and it had been six years since that mission. Nearly eleven years have passed since the Drifting Cloud Incident, that is, Nicole's father, Lister Constance, started this mission five years after the Drifting Cloud Incident. Nicole was twelve and Ian was thirteen.

There were twenty-seven people in the group, that is, with Rist, the team had nearly thirty people. This is about the same size as the King-Slayer Team of the Crusade against the Fire Nagar, but it is more rigorous than the composition of the King-Slayer Team. Because there are also seven halls of free traders. They are the ones who know the jungle best.

"On the first day in the forest, nothing happened, everything was calm. ”

"The day after entering the forest, it was still safe and nothing happened. ”

"The third day into the forest, safe. ”

Ian flipped through five or six pages, all he said was safety, nothing big happened. The only "big thing" was that an unlucky guy was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, but fortunately, the merchants put medicine on him in time to save his life. Other than that, there was almost nothing, which made Ian very suspicious of the legitimacy of the "Forest of the Dead" title in the Woods of Yarman.

Ian patiently flipped through nearly ten more pages, and finally found a different text in the record of the eleventh day of entering the forest.

"It's a little weird, it's so calm here, it's like there's nothing. ”

Finally realized that something was wrong? Ian silently thought that this was too slow.

He kept flipping.

"On the twelfth day of entering the forest, we finally found the reason. Today we found a tree carved with a triangular symbol, my God, this is the mark we left on the fifth day of entering the forest. That is, for seven days, we didn't know where to go around in circles, and we walked back again. ”

When he saw this, Ian's heart trembled.

It stands to reason that getting lost in the forest is a normal thing. But it was too abnormal for this group to get lost, twenty-one mid-to-high-level hunters, plus seven hall merchants who were most familiar with the forest. With such a configuration, you got lost in the forest? and spent seven days going around in circles?

This can't be described as abnormal, it's just weird!

Just as Ian was about to look down, a stack of fragrant steaks came in front of him, and his attention was immediately diverted.

"Let's eat first. A familiar voice came into Ian's ears, "Look at it when you're full." ”

Ian looked up and saw a familiar face smiling at him.

"Let the eldest lady of the Stuart family serve you a plate, you really have a face, don't you. Katrina said with a smile.
