[Although the village chief Bert really wanted the forbidden demon guards to investigate this anomaly and find out the truth of the matter, but the high-ranking forbidden demons didn't care, for them, only the magician was the object worth investigating and hunting, and they wouldn't worry about anything else, and the village chief could only give up and take the villagers to bid farewell to the guys with strange stone plates pinned to their chests.

I think that if I was in the Emerald Collar, there would definitely be someone to deal with such a thing, and thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sincerely satisfied that I could serve the Emerald Collar and obey the master's orders.

After the forbidden demon left, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, and under the warning of the village chief Bert, they all put aside the anomalies that happened before and the anger against the magician, and continued to live as if nothing had happened, and indeed as they thought, for nearly a month, the village returned to peace,

Only I could see that under the calm were many fearful villagers, and the strong men of Demacia, who were proud of their hard work, had become cowards who did not dare to stay alone in the wheat fields as soon as the sun had set, and even when the sun was high in the sky, they pricked up their ears and looked with suspicion at the scarecrows who drove away the birds and beasts around them, and drove away every approaching bird with furious stones, as if the birds could see through the weakness and insecurity in their hearts......

Unconsciously, the relieved smile was already full of holes like a wheat sieve, and it was clear that life had been quiet for a long time, but fear had taken root in their bodies and pierced into the depths of their hearts that they thought they were tenacious, and many villagers were smiling and living uneasily in the world of fear.

In such a situation, even I was a little more uneasy about the villagers who could not hide their fears properly, which made me think about the value of the oath I made and the decision I made when I passed the selection, and reflected on the fear from cowardice, I successfully overcame the strange uneasiness, I wanted to completely understand the abnormal incident that happened in the village of Fosbayro, and I wanted to figure out what the truth was behind it.

The situation soon changed at the time of the autumn harvest, when Edgar disappeared in the wheat field, and by the time his wife and daughter confirmed his disappearance once and for all, it was late that night, and his wife, Mia, left her daughter in the house and went to the village chief alone, Bert, to tell the elderly village chief that her husband had not returned all night.

I followed Mia, watching her gather dozens of male villagers under the leadership of the village chief Bert, and go to the wheat field with torches, I blended into the team, only to feel that the flowers called fear on the faces of the male villagers around me had bloomed, which convinced me that Edgar's disappearance must be related to the fear that never appeared, only the kind of master who can easily play with people's hearts, can make the emotions that have been brewing for a long time explode, I know, I will soon be able to find this hidden master, peel him from the inside out, even, I can bring him back to the Emerald Collar and make him the most perfect psychic insight teacher to serve the master and the Emerald Collar.

In fact, I have long guessed that a night of detachment search is destined to find nothing, there is no shadow of Edgar in the wheat field at all, the man seems to be completely missing, no trace can be found, in desperation, in order to avoid delaying the autumn harvest, the village chief Bert can only disband the search team, and comfort the somewhat desperate Mia home,

My instinct told me I should follow the ashen-faced woman, and it turned out that as an ordinary Demacian peasant woman, Mia couldn't detect my whereabouts, so I climbed onto the roof of their house and poked the idiosyncratic sound amplifier through the hole in the roof into the room, my ears pressed against the device, turning the private room into a public place with no secrets, and I heard Mia's frightened voice.

"You...... You said you heard Daddy knocking on the door? ”

"Mom, it's true, Dad is just outside the door, he said he can't come back, he needs us to open the door to find him, Mom, let's find Dad together, right?"

The little girl named Aisha really seemed to think that her father was just lost, and she didn't know how much shock and horror her innocent voice had caused her mother...... But to be honest, even I, who has a heart like iron, broke out in a cold sweat on my back after hearing the words from the cute little girl's mouth.

Aisha...... What did your dad say to you? You, are you sure it's your dad and someone else? ”

The woman is still struggling with doubt, trying to find a little possibility to give herself courage.

"Mom, how can I not hear Dad's voice? Dad said he couldn't find the way, couldn't find a home, and asked me to go out to find him, but Mom, when you left, you locked the door from the outside, and I couldn't open the door, so I could only listen to the sound of Dad knocking on the door, 'Knock knock', 'Knock knock', knock again and again, Mom, Dad is so pitiful, I can't even go back home......"

Although I could only hear the voice, I didn't have to look to know that the woman's face was probably whiter than the snow in Freljord, and I could even hear the sound of the woman shaking her bones and joints in fear.

"But, Aisha, your father has the key? Why can't I go home? And you didn't open the door for your dad? ”

As soon as the woman's words fell, the room fell into dead silence, and for about five seconds, even I sensed that something was wrong, and sweat began to break out on my forehead.

The power chain is used to create a >

Finally, the girl's voice sounded again, and the innocent and crisp tone made the eerie atmosphere dissipate a little, and my heart relaxed a little.

"yes, I opened the door...... It's just that Dad should have a key, and Dad will use the key to entertain many friends to come to the house as guests, so in this case, why can't Dad open the door and enter his own home? Doesn't that mean, Dad, that he lost his key? ”

"But, maybe, Aisha, it's not too early, it's time to go to bed, listen to your mother, go to ......"

"Knock knock~"

There was a knock on the wooden door.

In just a moment, all the hairs on my body stood up, obviously it was just a normal three knocks on the door, but my legs trembled unconsciously, because I found that the knock on the door was no different from the onomatopoeia in the little girl's mouth just now, and even the interval rhythm was the same, if this was really the case, it meant that the person who knocked on the door should be Edgar, who had been missing for a few days.

In the midst of nervousness, I rubbed the sweat from my palms and waited for things to develop.

At the same time, in the [sound amplification device], the room fell into dead silence again,

"Knock knock~"

As if to confirm that there was someone in the house, the knock on the door sounded again without change, and in silence he overbearingly wanted the people in the room to open the door and welcome him in.

"It's Daddy~"

In the sound of 'dong dong' footsteps, I understood that it was Aisha, the girl who had finally reacted, and was running in the direction of the wooden door.

She's going to open the door.

"Don't!" chaptere
