Chapter 258: Investigation
"Knock knock. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
knocked on the door of the vault.
β...... Woo?" said Dome in a confused voice with severe hypotension that had just gotten up.
"Are you staying up late again?" Yeyue shook her head helplessly, "I'm going out, I'll put breakfast on the table, remember to eat." I may not come back at noon, so you can heat up the cooked food in the kitchen cupboard. β
There was the sound of heavy objects falling in the room, and Yeyue was deeply worried about whether her sister had knocked down the hanger again.
"I'm leaving. Yeyue glanced at the time and shouted behind the door.
Soon after Yeyue left, the girl in the nightdress came out of the room, her long silver-gray hair was unkempt and looked a little messy, and she rubbed her eyes and shook her head vigorously.
"I'm so sleepy...... Dome staggered over to the dining room and sat down, picked up the spoon and tilted his head, "Did you say anything at night?"
Nightmoon prepared her breakfast with slices of toast and a glass of milk, and Dome spread half a jar of jam on the slices of bread and ate it little by little.
β...... Without. Dome frowned as he looked at the empty jam jar and the second slice of bread.
Dome puts the bread slices back on the plate and finds the cabinet where Night Moon puts his snacks, in addition to the snacks and drinks that Night Moon usually replenishes, there is also a small thing with exquisite packaging.
A cake box.
Dome picks up the cake box and finds a note pressed underneath.
[This should be a surprise to you yesterday, I think you will definitely be able to find out - your brother stays.] γ
"I ...... I won't be happy. Dome bit his lip and whispered.
......
Unlike usual, Yeyue didn't go to the training ground to give those students practical guidance, but went directly to Miranda's principal's office.
In addition to Miranda herself, there were two other people in the dojo-like principal's room.
Nightmoon quickly recognized them, one was the biggest thorn, and the other was the most serious good students, Zach and Shuat, and Nightmoon remembered that they had a particularly good relationship.
Although he also occasionally wondered how the two came together.
"Oh, you're here too. Miranda nodded at Night Moon, "Let's sit down first." β
Yeyue felt yellow and black hair, even Zach and Shuat's eyes were always a little strange when they looked at him. With doubts, Yeyue found an empty place to sit down.
"Is there anything important?" asked Nightmoon.
"What do you think of the atmosphere in the city right now? Instead of saying something, Milanda started by throwing a question.
"It was intense. Yeyue closed her eyes and thought for a moment and said, "Some of the freelancers and guards I saw on the road were walking in a hurry, and they didn't have the same leisurely as before. The will of President Balk and Commander Frank was swift. β
Most of the freelancers mentioned by Yeyue are adventurers and mercenaries, that is, professionals outside the army, and unlike the orders of the army, the warrior guild and the mercenary guild mostly use short-term high-bounty missions to guide them.
"I need to guard the city and can't leave. Miranda said, "So I have a task for you." β
Yeyue sighed and spread her hands: "I guessed everything, what task." β
"Confirm a secret base to the southwest. There was a dangerous light in Miranda's squinted eyes, "Someone seems to be restless." β
β
The specific content of the mission was not conveyed by Miranda, and she asked Shuart and Zach to explain it directly to Nightmoon.
β...... Yesterday, I was at the City Lord's Mansion with your Captain, she should have told you. Yeyue said as she walked, "Okay, tell me what you've encountered." β
With Shuat's unique methodical explanation and Zack's addition, Nightmoon probably figured out what happened to these two guys.
After deciding to challenge the Black Flame Demon Tiger, they also made enough preparations, some of which were completely useless, but some of which saved their lives.
The Black Flame Demon Tiger had been confirmed by the Mercenary Guild three months ago, so it shouldn't be mistaken, but the two of them who had such thoughts saw a completely different scene at the destination.
Tall trees had been cut down to form improvised walls, and mercenaries in red armor patrolled the vicinity of the camp under heavy guard.
"This kind of thing is happening at this point in time...... "Night Moon pondered, "is this a provocation, or is there some purpose?"
"I don't know, but something will definitely happen. Shuyat said, "The other party soon discovered us, without any negotiation process, those red mercenaries directly sent a leopard-type demonic beast to pursue us, if it wasn't for luck, Zach and I would have died long ago." β
"Domesticated Demonic Beasts?" said Yeyue keenly, "How many?"
"A lot of ......," Shuatt said, frowning, "more than those red mercenaries!"
"It can't be. Night Moon bit her finger, "This can't be...... I'd better see for myself, can you come with me?"
With Shuart and Zach leading the way, Nightmoon will save time searching.
"No, I don't. "No problem. Zach and Shuatt said at the same time.
β......β
"Okay, okay, let's go together, don't look at me like that, okay?" Zach was stared at by Shuat, and he was uncomfortable, and he gave up on himself.
β
There was a slight commotion in the dense jungle, and several birds were frightened and flew to the higher branches.
"Whew, how long is it?" asked Yeyue as she gasped.
"Hahaha, I thought you really could do anything, but you couldn't walk after only a few hours. Zach scoffed unscoffingly.
Without the help of transportation, Yeyue's expression was obviously much more tired after walking dozens of kilometers.
"This is a normal mage. Yeyue said while making an air conditioner to cool down, "Do you think that mages are the same as those guys who write mages in cheating novels?"
"It's just ahead, and you have to pay attention to stealth further along. Shuatt surveyed the environment and said.
He was still impressed by what he had encountered a day earlier, and he also deliberately recorded some key distances.
"Hmm...... Is that the other party's warning range ahead?" asked Yeyue after hearing Shuat's words.
"Yes. β
"If it's not far, you don't have to keep going, just here. Yeyue said.
"There's nothing to see here. Zach looked southwest.
Yeyue shook his head, his right hand raised and slowly opened, and a translucent beautiful creature flew out of his palm, and two pairs of narrow scales spread out and flew out quickly.
"Dragonfly?" Shuatt caught the creature's form in a split second.
"A lovely water elemental life. Night Moon swept the floor and sat down, "Wait a moment and see what news it can bring us." β
After releasing the water dragonfly, Night Moon was not completely idle, looking up at the sky from time to time, and then looking down to calculate something.
"Is that all it take?" Zach yawned, "It's boring." β
"Maybe it's not that simple. Shuatt said.
It didn't take long for Yeyue to suddenly stand up.
"It was discovered. Yeyue said to the two.
β...... Are you kidding me?" Zach said, his eyes open.
"Sure enough, it was exactly what I guessed. Night Moon looked southwest, and although he had guessed something correctly, he couldn't be happier.
"Guess what?" asked Shuat, "shouldn't we run away at once?"
Night Moon shook her head: "No, the water dragonfly was found because elemental creatures are sensitive to each other, it was killed by other elemental creatures, not discovered by others." β
"Elemental creatures?"
"That's right, what you said, the leopard-type demonic beast that pursued you should be an elemental creature. Warcraft are very difficult to domesticate on a large scale. Yeyue said.
After speaking, Yeyue also muttered in her heart: "They can actually control elemental life, who are these people, and they actually chose this time?"
As the Magic Moon approaches, even if the stars have not overlapped, some influences and slowly arise, and naturally occurring elemental creatures will become more and more aggressive, no matter who they are directed at.
"It doesn't matter if he's a Warcraft or an elemental life, these guys are definitely not good people anyway, let's go!" Zach pushed Shuatt.
"Don't move, don't move. Shuatt pressed his friend hard.
"I'm going to sneak into the camp, so you guys go back first. Yeyue said with a serious expression, "At least I need to understand the other party's means of controlling elemental creatures." β
"Let's be here first...... Zach, listen to me, if we go back, the House Elder will kill us. Shuatt said to Zach behind him.
β...... You always have a point. Zach crouched on the ground in frustration and drew circles.
"Well, stay safe yourselves. "Night Moon began to make new preparations.
The water dragonfly died before it could complete its mission, but it also sent something back.
The original Black Flame Demon Tiger Territory is a basin of terrain, and now there are many red mercenaries patrolling in groups of three, judging from some of the captured images, these unidentified guys are very disciplined, and the patrol paths overlap very seriously.
Perhaps some clever thieves were able to pass through these patrol squads silently, but Night Moon certainly couldn't do it.
Seriously, if you break in head-on and face the attacks of several patrol squads and their rock leopards at the same time, Night Moon will also feel a lot of headaches.
According to Shuat, each rock leopard is equivalent to a silver-level combat power, and these mercenaries themselves are estimated to be not bad.
"What do you think he's doing?" Zach whispered to Shuat.
Night Moon was activating a ritual spell, and with an obscure spell, rune imprints floated on the ground beneath his feet, hundreds of runes floated, and then slowly rose into the sky.
Shuatte shook his head, he didn't understand anything about this.
"Just look at the sky. Yeyue's somewhat tired voice came, "Don't bother me, I want to take a rest." β
After saying that, Yeyue closed her eyes and sat on the ground, entered a meditative state, and just started a ritual, feeling a little tired mentally.
There seemed to be a little more clouds in the sky.
"What's the difference? Zach couldn't see anything.
"It's ...... Nimbus clouds?" Shuatt said uncertainly, "The clouds seem to be a little thicker?" (To be continued.) )
