"What?" exclaimed Xavier, who saw the report.

Then, he quickly covered his forehead with his hands, sat down in a chair and began to organize his thoughts.

Long before the demon incident, the legend of the snake spirit had been circulating in the village.

One of the most important arguments is that a few years ago, a hunter chose to go into the northern forest on his own because he did not believe in the legend of the snake spirit, but there was no news, so the villagers thought that he had eaten the snake spirit alive.

Even later, the villagers heard strange noises outside the forest from time to time, which led Xavier and Captain Hannah to investigate the previous demon incident.

However, when Xavier discovered the wraith, the captain and he believed that the hunter had disappeared in the forest by accident, and that the strange noise heard by the villagers was made by the wive.

And this seems to be quite correct, after all, when the demon is dead, the villagers say that they have never heard strange noises again, and everything seems to be normal.

Until today.

The report, which was just a few lines of words, made him feel that something was wrong.

The reason why the demon incident happened before was because Isabella claimed that she had forgotten how dangerous the forest was, and hid in it in order to let her friends not find herself in the hide and seek.

At that time, he also believed it, after all, according to other friends, Isabella was not lying, and her expression of confession at that time was difficult not to believe.

But the problem is that if Isabella's father disappeared in the northern forest, it is impossible for the girl not to know how dangerous the forest is!

However, she still chose to go into the forest on her own, just because the word 'playful' didn't sound reasonable.

Combined with the maturity that Isabella is showing now, the original carelessness seems to be just an accident.

Thinking of this, Xavier couldn't help but make a guess.

Could it be because the girl felt that her father's disappearance was not so simple, so she chose to go to investigate on her own?

Well, then she should have gone to the forest before her father disappeared, but she was only nine years old at the time, so it makes sense to delay until now......

However, there are still many irrationalities in this statement, such as why didn't Isabella go to the army for help, or why did she hide and seek to hide her true purpose?

Very unreasonable.

But in the blink of an eye, he remembered Isabella's previous experience.

When her father disappeared, she was raised by her uncle next door, a terrifying Lolita who often locked little girls in the house, and catching hide and seek may have been Isabella's reason to convince him to let her out, and then took the opportunity to go into the forest to investigate.

And the reason why she didn't look for us was because Isabella at that time couldn't trust the army at all, well, so it could barely make sense, although it wasn't very convincing......

But what the hell is the wraith, and why did Isabella happen to meet the wraith?

After thinking about it, Xavier still couldn't figure it out, and besides, why did Isabella still hide it now? She already had a good relationship with the army, and she could let the captain send someone to investigate the cause of his father's disappearance.

In this way, this reason is still not the truth, so Xavier can't help but shake his head and veto all his thoughts just now.

At this point, feeling like a writer of Carvin, with no idea what the truth was, Xavier got up from his seat and walked out of the archives, just in time to see Skyler, who had finished his courtesy from Isabella.

"Skyler, come out with me, it's an order. ”

"Huh? Okay, Captain Xavier. In the face of this benefactor who has guided him a lot today, Skyler did not dare to say no, "Where are you going?"

"Boreal Forest. ”

~~~~~~

Following in the footsteps of Jill and Spencer, Xavier and Skyler make their way to the house where the Wisp appeared.

Since Xavier now only has one hand, he lacks enough combat power at the moment, so he asked Skyler to come with him to avoid accidents, and also brought two flares in case of emergency.

After a while, Xavier came to the side of the house, and saw the traces of his previous battle, and although the dust raised by Alder's Mark on the dirt was now mostly gone, the outline below it was still there, and one could imagine how fierce the battle had been.

"Captain Xavier, are you here to kill five demons in one second, that's really fast!" Skyler couldn't help but sigh.

Fast is not a good adjective...... Xavier complained in his heart, and then corrected: "To be exact, a demon and his four clones. ”

Between the words, Xavier pushed open the door of the house with his right hand, feeling the touch of the floor, it seemed that something was wrong, but he didn't care too much, but looked ahead.

The first thing you see is a wooden table, and several diaries on it.

The owner of the diary is none other than Isabella's father, Charles Cattray!

The ink on it was a little illegible, but Xavier was able to read it slowly with his eye.

"January 17, 211. ”

"I'm so angry! It's a great shame for a man! I shouldn't have let Cynthia go to the city to work in the first place, and sure enough, she still couldn't resist the temptation of the city, and got involved with one of the workers inside! I don't know how many years she hid it from me!"

"She definitely didn't expect to be discovered by me, very good, when she comes back tomorrow, I'll question her properly!"

From the words, Xavier could feel the anger in it, after all, Cynthia was Isabella's mother, and she was actually outside behind Charles's back, and it was normal for her father to be so angry with her.

Immediately, he asked Skyler to watch him outside, and then looked at the next page of his diary.

"January 18, 223. ”

"I asked Cynthia what happened, and the slut actually said that I misunderstood, misunderstanding? I saw them enter a room with my own eyes! This slut still wants to lie to me, I was so angry, I kicked her out, it's really happy!"

"January 19, 223. ”

"Isabella has been asking her mother where she has gone all day, and I feel annoyed when I look at her, and I don't know if it was born from that slut and that worker leader, looking at this appearance, there is no place like me!"

"January 20, 223. ”

"I was very angry, so I went hunting in the forest a few times, and the fools said that there were snake spirits in it, so I didn't believe in evil, you see, I caught a few rabbits and came back. ”

"January 21, 223. ”

"Isabella, the little bastard, is asking me where her mother is again! I was so angry that I beat her up! Heh, I accidentally got a little scar on her face, but it doesn't matter, it's the slut anyway, it's not my flesh and blood at all!"

Diary after diary went by, and eventually, Xavier flipped the diary to the day before Charles' disappearance.

"May 12, 223. ”
