Chapter 31: Magic Tracking
In the evening, Hayes waved goodbye to Eric and walked alone to the stream.
"This habit of the lord always appears suddenly on every full moon night. Eric sighed softly, "Even tonight is no exception. ”
At this time, the gentle wind gradually hits, and the branches and leaves all over the Eagle Valley make a "rustling" sound, which is really intoxicating and beautiful dusk, although it is only a line away from the night, but the bright glow of the sky is far better than the plain blue sky of the day.
On the banks of the quiet stream, Hayes's gray-brown pupils looked ahead like a goshawk, and the stream was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting his handsome and sturdy face and posture, like the ancestors who stopped on the shore of a beautiful lake.
With the last storm that swept through the Valley of the Eagles far away, the Tranquil Stream, which originates from the springs at the foot of the Grey Mountains, has been flowing through the territory for hundreds of years.
"Water is the source of life, life does not stop, water flows endlessly, and the quiet stream, which is full of mist all year round, is the symbol of the valley of great heroes, and under the blessing of God, it is always undisturbed in spring, summer, autumn and winter. ”
After settling here, the successive lords of the Gray Valley family would often talk about it, and their gray-brown pupils always showed incomprehensible sadness and loneliness.
But now for you, it's all over... Hayes's thoughts began to creep in.
Ruoya, dear sister... He calmly thought: on the day of the funeral, the flowers were piled up, but everyone in the audience lost themselves, as if they were in an illusion, they were unwilling to beat their bodies, hoping to exchange for the sobriety of consciousness, and among them, including me: Hayes Ashvalley, your closest brother...
But, no matter what, the pain in the heart was still suffocating, and the cold mind became unable to perceive the temperature of the sun. Thousands of heartfelt calls, but only in exchange for the pastor's gentle blessings, tears filled his eyes, but stubbornly refused to drop...
It's over... The original sweet and happy home has become incomplete...
The purple aura of magic lingered beside the quiet stream for a long time, and it took months for it to finally dissipate. Evil has appeared, and you have vanished.
Hayes reached out and pulled a red hood from his waist: this must be his sister's last relic... Now it's in my own hands.
The people of the Grey Valley family have always been resilient... So even the texture of this hood is indescribably tight...
The light of the day fades away, and the night falls, and the full moon is in the sky, and the moonlight is misty. Everything around is as silent as a secret room in a deep valley.
However, a chaotic sound of footsteps broke the original silence in an instant.
"Cloud Hunter, you're an unpleasant guy tonight..."Before anyone could get closer, Hayes couldn't wait to start speaking, "What are you doing at such a late hour?"
The other party bowed slightly apologetically, and the light flashed in his clear eyes: "When night was approaching, a gray pigeon flew to the ground and was caught by me." Guess what I got?"
Hayes laughed: "What kind of thing should make you so tireless." ”
The Cloud Hunter took a letter from his waist and handed it to Hayes, while in his other hand he used his magic power, a white light rose in his palm, and then instantly illuminated the black words on the envelope.
Hayes held the envelope in his hand, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his body shook slightly. The Cloud Hunter said, "After reading this letter, you still don't believe that there are evil forces targeting our Eagle Valley?"
"I'll wait until I'm done reading. Hayes's face gradually became solemn, and then an invisible tension crept through the air around him.
"To the servants of the family. The letter reads, but the text is only a short paragraph: "This will be your last mission, and everything in the Gray Valley family will be under our control." After returning, I will celebrate your success at the Imperial Capital Paist Restaurant, so please be sure to come as soon as possible. ”
Hayes frowned, and then he caught a glimpse of the signature at the bottom of the letter, a mysterious identity that had never been known, but made up of just two words.
"Black hand. ”
"It's amazing, but now that we have ironclad evidence, do we send guards to investigate?" asked the Cloud Hunter tentatively, as if sensing a subtle change in Hayes's expression.
The Lord of Grey Valley did not immediately reply, but the Cloud Hunter did not feel angry, he just stood quietly, beside the Lord, like a lonely, but dutiful guard.
"It seems that this incident has a lot to do with my father in Pompeii. "After a long thought, Hayes said calmly.
"Why?" the Cloud Hunter asked rhetorically, "Don't you care who this spy is?"
"The Valley of the Eagle has been in conflict with the world since my father left, and the only possible reason for making enemies is Pompeii. Hayes looked tired, but said categorically: "As for this spy, the investigation will start tomorrow." ”
"But he may have been doing it today. The Cloud Hunter said, but then Hayes's melancholy gaze and face really surprised him, for a long time, as the guardian of the Valley of the Eagle, he firmly believed that the faith and power of the Ashenvale family were unshakable, however, this time, the problem surprised him quite tricky.
"May you let go of your thoughts about your old people as soon as possible. He admonished in a soft voice, then turned to leave.
However, the moment he turned around, the longbow he was carrying on his back suddenly glowed with a glimmer of green light, looming like ghostly fire. The Cloud Hunter's footsteps suddenly stopped, and an incredible expression instantly appeared on his face.
"Please be careful, my lord, I assure you that unknown figures have appeared in our vicinity and are using magic. As if sensing something, the Cloud Hunter whispered back as he unhooked his longbow and stood alongside Hayes.
Hayes put away his thoughts about Ruoya: his father had said that the Cloud Hunter was worth believing in with his life, but now why was he so anxious?
So he also used the magic light technique to light up the surroundings, but he didn't find any figures, but at the same time, the cloud hunter suddenly opened his bow and arrows with ease, and the end of the arrows gradually began to have a golden magic aura converge, just like the angelic glow scattered in the world, and then the bowstring pulled, the sound of breaking the sky sounded, and the arrow from the string shot into the air, like a screaming life-killing elf.
Could it be that the Bow of Fallen Leaves is working? This peerless treasure that the Cloud Hunter has been carrying away from him all day long is shining in his hand at this moment, and it is amazing and unattainable, Hayes thought.
According to my father, the "Bow of Fallen Leaves" has been integrated into the "soul of nature" thousands of years ago, and it is spiritual, and at the same time, it can freely capture the traces of magic, and any magic, magic items, or magic potions in the vicinity cannot escape the capture of the spirit of nature in the bow.
So people have given the cloud hunters another elegant title: magic trackers. For a long time, they lived in seclusion, but they never lost their skills.
And the Fallen Leaf Bow reacted just now, proving that something related to magic has indeed quietly arrived nearby, but what will you do next, Cloud Hunter?
Under Hayes's gaze, the golden arrow shot straight into the sky, cutting a graceful arc and lighting up the solitude of the surrounding color for a moment. After reaching a jaw-dropping height, it began to fall downwards at a strange angle under the light of the stars and moon, as if guided by some kind of guidance, but the aura of magic still wrapped around its body, and the surrounding trees couldn't help but make a "rustling" sound at the same time.
The surface of the Tranquil Creek is still sparkling, like a flawless mirror reflecting the moon and stars. However, the golden magic arrow was impartially inserted into the brown dirt beside it, and the soil was turned up by a huge force belt, followed by a circle of golden light waves, centered on the arrows, and began to spread to every corner in all directions.
Then a thin figure that looked lonely and helpless, and the moment the golden light swept by, suddenly appeared in a place where no one had been seen, as if it had appeared out of thin air.
"The magical invisibility effect on his body has been lifted by me, and now, he is alone. The Cloud Hunter said loudly.
"Demon Breaking Arrow": One of the golden moves in magic archery... You guy, you really know a lot... Hayes silently praised the Cloud Hunter in his heart, and at the same time, he wondered what this unknown person who approached him through magical delusions looked like.
It's just that he didn't expect that this so-called unknown person actually didn't know that he, as a lord, was in such a situation at this moment.
However, Hayes rushed forward angrily, only to find that the other party seemed to be still in a panic of losing its magic effect, and did not seem to be aware of his arrival.
He turned away, his grayish-brown gaze closely meeting that of Lord Hayes, much to the surprise of the cloud hunters on the side.
He was holding a bag of mountain spring water in his hand, and the liquid in it seemed to be overflowing, and Hayes was about to go forward to search, but he heard an anxious cry of a guard in the distance.
"Report to the lord!" Eric the butler suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, and his life was in danger!"
