At noon, two horses stopped on a trail. Except for the official road in Yanjing, the rest of the journey is basically a dirt road between the mountains, and this journey took a lot of time for two people.
Looking at the scattered houses and the rising smoke of the cooking at the bottom of the mountain, Randygrace took out the map in the ring, "This is the place where the mission says, here we are!"
"Don't be so serious, Till, with me, this kind of task is not easy!" said Grey, poking her head out and climbing onto Randy Grace's shoulder. After speaking, he looked at Francis again, and said provocatively: "It's you, the little mage who hides his head and tail! If anything happens, you just need to shout for help, for the sake of Ti'er's face, I will take action against you." Along the way, Grey was provoking Francis, but Francis always annoyed by the fact that he couldn't get in.
On the way, Francis learns the cat's name, Grey, a Light and Shadow Leopard of the Holy Order. Unlike Francis, Randy Grace's contract was still very successful, and she could use Grey's natural abilities. It's no wonder that Randy Grace is so confident, with the ability she got from Grey, not to mention the seventh order, even the eighth order, a negligence will also be in her hands.
"Just don't scream!" Francis' reply was indistinct, and Grey jumped up and down, clamoring to give Francis a good look.
"Don't make a fuss, Grey!" Randy Grace took Grey back into her arms and covered her cloak, "Don't underestimate the white deacons of the church, those two white deacons must have their own means, they are missing here, there must be some secrets in this place! Remember, don't talk when you're around!"
Francis looked at the village below the hill and felt slightly, the village was normal, and he didn't feel anything strange. What the hell is going on? The continuous disappearance of the population can also be explained by the slave repair group, is it because of something else in the white deacons of the church?
"Anyway, let's go down and have a look! maybe we'll get some useful news!" Francis turned his horse and walked toward the village.
"Hey, wait for me!Francis, don't we disguise it? Isn't this too conspicuous!" Randy Grace pointed to the white samurai suit on her body and said, both of them are dressed in white, this kind of dress, people who are interested will definitely be suspicious when they see it, and how to get information.
"No! there's no strange people down the hill!" Francis didn't look back, and rode down.
"How do you know? Have you been here?" asked Randygrace curiously, as if he knew a lot about the place.
"I haven't been here, it's just my instinct! I'll go to the east end of the village to find out the news, and I'll leave it to you in the west. ”
"!" Randy Grace's head was bruised, this guy was really angry sometimes.
"What the hell is that guy trying to do?" Gray poked her head out, and she felt a strange smell in Francis, a strange feeling, a mysterious feeling.
"What's wrong with you today? You usually don't care about others, why do you talk so much today?"
"Yes!" Hearing Randy Grace's words, Grey also felt that she was talking a little too much today, "I don't know! That guy gave me the feeling...... It's dangerous!"
"Dangerous!?" said Randy Grace wonderingly, how could Grey feel this way.
"Well, that's how it feels, that guy seems to be quite mysterious, and he covers his face! By the way, Till, do you know what he looks like?"
"I don't really know what he looks like!" Randygrace thought for a moment, she had really seen what that guy was like.

"Excuse me!" said Francis, leading his horse, to a farmer's house.
"Hello, Dear Mage!" an old farmer came out of the house, saw Francis standing outside the fence, and quickly ran over and pulled the fence door open.
"I don't know what I can do for you!" said the old farmer, bowing his head. The strength on the continent is respected, and an ordinary person like him is naturally cautious when he encounters a noble magician.
"Oh, I'm passing by, it's noon, and I'd like to borrow some food, I don't know ......," said Francis, hitching his horse to the door.
"That's really my honor, I have some just made here, but I don't know if you ......" The old farmer was worried that his coarse tea and light rice would not be able to meet the appetite of this mage, and it would be miserable if he caused trouble.
"It's nothing! I just eat a little bit, I'm never picky about food. Francis said unconcernedly, the food was not the key, he was here to inquire about the news.
"Oh, well, you wait a moment!" said the old farmer, and went into the house, and in a few moments came out with a few plates. A few side dishes, a bowl of porridge and a few wowotou.
"People in the village, that's all there is to it, don't dislike it, Master Mage!" the old peasant rubbed his hands, for fear that Francis would not be satisfied.
"Oh, nothing!" Francis didn't mind, and took a sip of the porridge, which he had done in his previous life.
"By the way, this uncle, there are not many of you! Anyway, Yanjing is very close, why is there no one in the village!" asked Francis, who had spoken a few words to the old peasant.
"You don't know! Originally, the village was close to Yanjing, so a young man with a little strength went to Yanjing to look for work. There are not many people left in the village, and what is worse is that some time ago, there were man-eating demonic beasts on the mountain! The people who went up the mountain to hunt all suffered, and the village organized a group of people to go up the mountain to look for them, but they didn't find anything! They scared us away! The people in the village were scared away, and the rest scraped together some money and found a few mercenaries who wanted to catch the demonic beast, but those mercenaries never returned. Later, no one caught up with the mountain, which is strange to say, no one went up the mountain, and the monsters in the mountain did not come down, and I didn't hear that anyone was missing. The old farmer gave a general account of the matter.
"Warcraft? cannibalistic ...... Warcraft?" Francis asked, surprised.
"yes! That's what the mercenaries said. They also said that they had encountered such a thing before, and that those demonic beasts were not to be feared, but they didn't come down after going up the mountain!"
"In other words, no one has seen that monster?" Listening to the old farmer's meaning, the monster's guess came from the mouth of those mercenaries.
"That's not true, there were no magical beasts in this mountain before, maybe they came from other places. ”
"Oh, by the way, two of my companions were able to walk this way some time ago. Have you ever seen that? I don't want them to go up the hill!" Francis turned to the two white-clad deacons.
"Oh! that's a ...... To be honest, I haven't seen any outsiders these days!" the old farmer thought for a moment, and there didn't seem to be any outsiders these days.
Francis nodded, and the old farmer was not lying. Under what he saw and heard, whether it was true or not, he saw through it at once.
"Really...... That's great! They didn't come here, and in that case, they didn't go up the mountain, and I think they should be fine. Francis frowned, did the two deacons go up the mountain, did they have an accident on the mountain, or ......
"Thank you very much for your hospitality!" Francis stood up, placed a gold coin on the table, led the horse and left. In the village, Francis made several more inquiries but to no avail.
"Francis!" Just as Francis was about to go to find Randy Grace, she had already come first.
"How's it going, did you find any clues?" Randy Grace jumped off her horse and walked over to Francis.
"What about you, what did you find?"
"There was no news of the two deacons, and no one in the village had ever seen them. But......" Landigres pointed to the mountain behind her and said, "I have heard something, and it is said that there are man-eating monsters on the mountain. Randygrace pointed to the mountain behind her. "That's it, I'm afraid there are some problems there, if those two deacons really have an accident nearby, I'm afraid the location is that mountain!"
"Well, I'm similar to you here, and that's what I say, it seems that the two deacons didn't enter the village, so let's go!" said Francis.
"Where are you going?"
"Go up the mountain, this is our only clue! I guess going up the mountain will have the answer we want!"
"Could it be that man-eating beast?" Randygrace mounted his horse and followed Francis.
"I don't believe in man-eating monsters, and Bishop Ivanov won't believe it!" Francis looked up at the mountains not far away, he didn't know what rank those mercenaries were, but the two white-clothed deacons of the church were real sixth-order. Being able to kill two white-clothed deacons, a Warcraft of this level would like to eat people??
"Why?"
"Just ask the kitten in your arms! Warcraft with advanced intelligence generally don't treat people as food. Moreover, Francis guessed in his heart that he believed that it was not so much the work of the monster as he believed that it was man-made.
"Really?" Randy Grace was incredulous, took out Grey, who was already asleep in her arms, and shook it.
"What, Till?" Grey was unhappy that Randy Grace had interrupted her nap.
"I have something I want to ask for you!"
"Say it!" Grey stretched and licked her paws.
"Do you like to eat people? I mean, do intelligent monsters like to eat people?"
"That's it, who knows, at least I don't like it, I like to eat fish!" said Grey, crawling into Randy Grace's arms, apparently planning to sleep a little longer.
