Ms. Bethel's hair was gray, and she looked older than her age because of exertion, and she looked even more haggard and senile when this happened these days.

"It's true that a lot of haunted things happen, and they happen right next to Audrey a lot, but she's a good and kind boy and would never do anything like that. Your Excellency, don't listen to rumors. Ms. Bethel was a little excited.

"Don't worry, we're here to find out the truth of the matter. If it had nothing to do with Audrey, she would have been cleared and the villagers would have apologized. Reverend Richard assured, "Now, can you tell me where Audrey is?" First of all, you need to find her, so that it is easy to find out the truth. Moreover, it is also very dangerous for her to hide in Tibet by herself. ”

"I don't know where Audrey is now. That morning, I asked her to deliver a clay pot to Fisher Sr., and then she was locked up. I thought Audrey probably saw it on the way back, and she was too scared to go home. ”

"So where do you think she might be hiding? And is it true that the rumors that she can make stones glow and have a strange black cat are true?"

"Your Excellency, although Audrey has some strange skills, it really has nothing to do with haunted strange things. The black cat, it's just, it's just ......" Ms. Bethel hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The black cat is indeed a little evil, it was adopted about half a year ago, and it's called Luna. The boy had always been very well-behaved, but he just wouldn't listen to me and threw away the black cat, and as a result, he was implicated. Perhaps, the haunted thing was caused by the black cat. ”

The black cat was also caught by the villagers, with several injuries on its body, and a lame hind leg, and was kept in a cage as proof of Audrey's witch. Mike checked it carefully and thought it should be a magic pet.

The so-called magic pet is a special magical beast formed by mage warlock and other arcane users who fuse a small part of their soul with small animals. The good thing is that in addition to the magic pet itself, the owner can also get some insignificant abilities from the small animal. The disadvantage is that because of the fusion of souls, the death of the demon pet will cause some damage to the owner's soul.

Because the soul of the demon pet itself is very weak and the intelligence is very low, after merging with a powerful soul, even if it is only a small part of the powerful soul, it is completely unable to resist its influence and becomes an intelligent life with independent consciousness but absolute loyalty. The ability of the magic pet is closely related to the owner, the stronger the master, the more things will be there, the stronger the magic pet will be, the more things will be known, and the more tasks can be completed, for example, the magic pet of the golden dragon knight can be turned into a golden dragon to fight with the master.

Mike felt that his ability was not good, and the magic pet was not very useful, so he did not recruit the magic pet, and he strictly forbade Kena to recruit it.

"Don't worry, we will find out the truth of the matter and will never wronged anyone. Again, Mr. Reverend assured, "Where do you think Audrey might be hiding?"

"Although there are a lot of empty houses in the town, I see that they have searched all over and can't find them. Outside, the night was dangerous, and there were often wild beast goblins, so the kid probably didn't have much to go. All I could think of was the abandoned mines in the southeast, and I needed clay, and sometimes I would take her with me to dig it, but I never dared to spend the night there. There is also the place where old Fisher lived, but he was nervous, and he did not know that anyone dared to live there. "Ms. Bethel doesn't know more than anyone else about her daughter's hiding place.

The villagers had searched the two possible locations before, but found nothing. But now they don't get much useful information, Mike and they have to look at it again.

Because it was not far from the village and it was relatively safe, Pastor Richard decided to move in groups. He and Pandia go to Fisher Sr., Mike, Kenael, Brad, and Pigrunner, and volunteer Little Baker to investigate the abandoned mines. Regardless of whether they found anything or not, the two teams must return to the village before dark.

Little Baker put on leather armor and held a long sword and wooden shield, and looked more energetic. According to himself, he was one of the militia in the village, sometimes fighting against beasts and even ogres.

"Ogre here?" said Kenael, surprised. The ogre mercenary group caught a few, and she carefully observed it several times, the highest one was about two meters six, and Kena could only reach its stomach. The appearance is ugly and powerful, but he was knocked over by Wukong with a stick, and he doesn't know if it's difficult to deal with.

"Well, giants two or three meters tall have thick skin and flesh, and they are very difficult to deal with, but fortunately, they rarely come near the village. Walk out of the village along the edge of the swamp, and walk northwest for about two days to reach the Ogre Hills, where they mainly haunt. There are also many wild beasts, and it is said that some people have seen skeletons of bones that can walk. Little Baker introduced the surroundings.

"To the southwest of the village, five or six miles away from the old Fisher's house, the swamp is the territory of Crocodile Dundee, don't come near it if you have nothing to do. It is said that more than twenty years ago, it killed hundreds of even the army, and the witch's father and adoptive father were eaten by it, and it is because of this that the town of Hope became what it is now. Little Baker sighed, "But we're here because of it." There had been two waves of goblin ogres here, and everyone thought it was going to be over, but they didn't know how to provoke Dundee, and they didn't dare to come after dying twice. I was too young to see it in person, but everyone knew about it. Anyway, Dundee won't be too far out of the swamp, so be careful not to go around there, and a lot of people will stay here. ”

"You guys just came here and didn't know where Dundee was going, so it's best not to go from the southwest, don't take it seriously. In the end, Little Baker solemnly warned.

"How good can a crocodile really be?" Mike didn't believe it.

"It's really amazing. Kena nodded, "'If you cry again, Dundee will come and eat you' is Sentia's famous quote to scare children." Writing a book about it can fill a basket of legends. Just folded in its mouth, there are one or twenty adventure teams with names and surnames. Bala Bala Bala ......"

Since the neighborhood was relatively safe, Kena was not too nervous, and she had been looking around before, pulling Mike and asking about it. She had only two similar team adventures, both of which were organized by her teacher to fight goblins. Later, after meeting Mike, he worked with the mercenary group to catch goblin jackals. Now investigating the witch incident with the prince in his mind, or in the legendary location, it is fresh and exciting, and the chatter is non-stop.

"Wait. Brad raised his hand to stop and got down on one knee to scrutinize the ground. "Mike, you see here, here and here, there are paw prints left by wolves or dogs, there should be five or seven horses, that is, from yesterday afternoon to evening. ”

Mike looked around first, it was relatively empty, and there was no obvious place to ambush, so he checked together. "That's true. Little Baker, it shouldn't be the traces left by the villagers with dogs. ”

"No, we searched this place three days ago, and we only had three dogs with us. Probably not many people have been here since then. Little Baker was sure.

Nervous, Kena took out her shoddy crossbow and wound it, and took out her magic bag to prepare for it.

"Put the strings down first, it's easy for you to shoot out if you hold it like this, it's very dangerous. Mike felt that he should really take Kena to practice more.

"Oh, aren't people afraid of wolves around? Kenar snorted her crossbow.

"It's too late to wind it up again. And you're a mage, and it's important to get it right. It is best to be experienced and able to deal accurately at the first time, but if you can't, it's not bad to observe before you act, and remember not to mess around. "Teacher Mike teaches the students, these are all the things that the Grand Arcanist told him.

"Got it. Kenar continued to be on guard.

"Mike, look at it again. Brad found new traces.

"This footprint, about forty centimeters long, without shoes, should be some kind of sub-giant, most likely an ogre. "Although Mike has not clicked on tracking and searching, he is highly intelligent and observant, and it is not a problem to analyze the traces pointed out by Brad.

"I think so too. It seems that things are not simple. Looking at the direction, I also went to the waste mine, maybe I haven't left yet. At least one ogre, five to seven wolves, is that okay, Mike?"

"No problem, get ready for battle. Mike raised his hand to add a buff to himself that saw through the invisibility, used the mage shield again, and then rode the pig run, "Kena'er, don't run around, sit behind me and hold tight." Remember, if you encounter an ogre with a weapon, throw grease at the weapon first. Or use a magic bag to release the tiger. ”

"Good. Kena obediently obeyed, her left hand tightly around Mike's waist.

Brad sighed in his heart: This Mike, sure enough, is a warlock who also cultivates mages with sufficient spell slots, and there is no ambiguity in wasting it. Let's hope it won't be a problem.

The Wizard's Shield, a Tier 1 arcane, creates a protective floating force field shield that is the size of half a door panel and has good defense, but it lasts for a short period of time, only lasting 8 minutes at the level of a Warlock at Mike's caster level 8.

"Little Baker, if there is a war, you don't rush too far, pay attention to cover Brad and us. Mike arranges tactics, "Brad, if you win, you will fight, if you can't win, you will delay, wait for my spell, if the enemy is too strong, shout before running, and I will throw cobwebs to buy time." ”

"Good. Brad didn't have a problem with that. If he was on patrol, he probably felt that he wanted to run before he fought, which would only weaken his momentum, but after coming out to take risks for a while, he found that safety was the first priority.

Mike is empty-handed, which is the fastest way to cast spells. Brad has a javelin in his left hand and a giant sword in his right hand, and can be far or close when he encounters enemies. Little Baker drew his sword and took his shield, ready to respond.

Only Kenael held the magic bag in her left hand, and picked up the crossbow in her right hand for a while and put it down for a while, not knowing whether to cast a spell or release a tiger or shoot.

"Miss Kenael don't be nervous, the crossbow can be hung on the saddle first. If the enemy is strong, you should cast a spell first, and if there are many enemies, you should release the tiger first. You're not a shooter, so you can wait until the battle situation is stable. Brad sighed in his heart, this Kena looked really new to the newbie, although she was about the same age, she couldn't compare with Kailin, not even Pandia.

"Oh......"
