Chapter 12: The Road Ahead
It's been two days since the case happened, and the whole city, no, the whole republic is a wanted portrait of Big Brother. The exits of Salem Province have been blocked by members of the police security team www.biquge.info have been blocked, and if you want to pass, you must be closely checked, and not a single fly will have to look for a chance to pass. But the eldest brother still has no news, and it seems that the case has been settled - the culprit is Roy.
Neil and I took a leave of absence from school, didn't go out on patrol with the rest of our classmates, and spent the past two days at home trying to find clues to find out where my eldest brother was.
"Neil, what do you think?"
"I think there's going to be something strange about this!"
"yes, what do you say Big Brother wants the Ultimate Wind Dragon Stone for? He's a Tiger Warrior, and he doesn't use magic, and besides, there's no magic guide to drive this Dragon Stone now, right?" I said to myself.
"This may not be, maybe someone can make a new magic guide out, but I think the eldest brother is not sure that he was coerced or was used to cast illusions to do this, how can he go out to commit a crime as soon as he gets home?" Neil is really cranky, and just after studying the textbook and arriving at the chapter of illusion magic, he guessed that the eldest brother fell into the illusion.
"Big brother is a battle-hardened mercenary, an S-class warrior, how can he be so easily coerced or controlled by someone with illusions? besides, it's still at home? Why don't you even cast illusions with us and let us be his helpers?" I retorted.
"Woo~~ In short, I don't think it's his own subjective willingness to do this......"
"Well, where would he be?"
"Big brother can't stop him if he forcibly breaks into the card, but now the whole city has been locked down for two days and there ......is no movement at all," Suddenly, Neil stood up suddenly, startling me.
"Black Forest!" he said loudly, "only the Black Forest is no man's land now, it is too dangerous for the police and security team to dare to enter it, it is a blank area where no one is really active, and only there will the big brother not be discovered." yes, how did I find out now? Chris, get a map of our Salem province!"
I quickly rummaged through the cabinets to find the map, and I lay on the table with him to study it.
"Well, the Black Forest area is so big, where will Big Brother hide?" I started to grumble again.
"No, Chris, I don't think the eldest brother will stay in the Black Forest for so long, there are a lot of monsters and monsters in it, and I heard that there are also black goblins who don't like humans, and the longer you stay in that kind of right and wrong, the more trouble you will have. And I think," Neil pointed with his right index finger to the other end of the Black Forest, which is a much wider area of yellow. "Big Brother will come out of the Black Forest and into the desert of Lapaz, another province of our Republic. Two days was enough time for him to get out of the Black Forest, and the desert area there was also home to the 'Fury' Beast Regiment (short for Beast Warrior Mercenary Regiment) where he had previously stayed. I think we'll have new clues when we get there. ”
"Well, that's right, Neil, okay, let's go to the Black Forest right away!"
"What??Are you going to the Black Forest?it's dangerous there~~" A familiar girl's voice came from the door.
Neil and I looked at the door at the same time (we were so focused on the map that we didn't even notice anyone coming in) and it was Emma and Annie, both wearing black uniforms, and Anne carrying a basket of vegetables. The question is, why are they here?
"Oh, actually, we want to ......"
"Actually, we wondered if there would be a clue about my eldest brother in the Black Forest, but it was really dangerous, and we just talked about it. Neil interrupted me, giving me a subtle look, and then digressed, "Why are you here?"
Emma excitedly pulled Anne to us and said: "It's not pity you, there is such a big thing at home, you must not have the heart to cook and eat, it is estimated that you have dealt with it in the past two days, where, today we rest, Anne and I have made a lot of delicious food, and we have made a lot more at once, so I will give it to you to taste." We've already eaten it, so try Anne's craft, she makes it delicious, and of course mine is not bad. ”
Seriously, in the past two days, our brothers really didn't have the energy to cook, and when it was time to eat, they ate two mouthfuls of dry food to cushion their stomachs, and they really told Emma right. It's noon, so let me see what's delicious? Wow, braised duck, steamed chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, um-hmm, stir-fried shredded pork with potatoes and my favorite scrambled eggs with tomatoes! But why do they have to cook for us to eat? By the way, it's Neil's fan group, it's really good to have a few die-hard fans, they didn't look at us with colored glasses at this time, and they didn't forget to entertain the male god in their hearts, which is great!
So, Neil and I thanked them very gentlemanly for their kindness, and then, like hungry wolves, swept away all the meals (Neil still looks at each other, I'm not welcome, who told him to maintain the image of the male god in people's hearts). Well, it's really good, and the girls are so good at cooking, and they're so good at cooking better than me! As for Emma and Anne, they looked at us eating with a smile and a look of enjoyment......
After sending Neil's fan group away, we continued to lie on the table and began to study the route through the Black Forest, trying to find the fastest way out of the Black Forest, so that we could catch up with Big Brother quickly.
"Well, we couldn't fly over again, so we had to make our way on foot. I sighed as I did a squat at the table.
Neil didn't speak, frowning and staring at the area of the Black Forest on the map for a long time. Suddenly, he turned around and pulled me over and called out, "Yes, Chris, we can go from here, from the Wind Dragon Stone Cave, so that we can reduce the distance by a lot!"
I hurriedly squinted my eyes and searched carefully, Neil was right, the Wind Dragon Stone Mine almost runs through most of the Black Forest, and it is estimated that you can walk out of the Black Forest in half a day from the end of the mine, and you can avoid fighting with the monsters in the forest, which will also reduce a lot of time, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
"We'll just go in from this branch of the mine," Neil said excitedly, pointing to the map, "and try to avoid the miners as much as possible, and no one will notice us when we go deeper into the mine." After that, you can exit through a hole at the very end of the tunnel, and then through the Black Forest, the journey should be shortened by about half. Let me do the math... It only takes us a little more than a day to cross the Black Forest. ”
"Great!" I said excitedly.
Suddenly, we both fell silent, looked at each other and didn't say a word.
We all knew in our hearts that this journey was different from the past, full of dangers and unknowns, and it would be very long, because we didn't even know the exact location of the eldest brother, but only the approximate direction of the reasoning, and only when the time came to cross the river by feeling the stones—one step at a time.
"Are you mentally prepared, Neil?" I asked.
"Well, I must find the eldest brother and ask him clearly. Neil replied earnestly.
"Me too, I'm going to beat him up, we've suffered a lot of sins these days, but I can't beat him, haha!" I said with a smile on my fists.
"Haha!" Neil laughed too, what a rarity!
"Hahaha......" our laughter echoed through the room......
A thrilling adventure is about to begin!
