021. I heard that mages are very smart
"What do you want to ask, hurry up, he seems to be dying."
Levi reminded.
Only then did Rena react, and hurriedly picked up the orcs on the ground, and asked loudly, "Where are the people you captured?" ”
Orc: "¥%......&"
Rena looked at Levi, who looked at her with wide eyes.
Levi asked with a strange expression, "You don't know orc language?" ”
Rena asked rhetorically, "You won't?" ”
Levi: "......"
Rena looked at the orc, trying to communicate with him.
The orc's head tilted, and he completely lost his breath.
Levi looked at Rena and felt a pain in her head, did this guy think about the results before doing things?
Rena dropped the body and pulled a small notebook from her pocket.
After half a day, she said, "He said he hadn't caught a human. ”
Levi glanced at the small notebook in her hand, a handwritten orc translation.
Well, I wronged Rena.
She still used some brains.
Li Wei said: "I think it's better for you to leave this matter to your family, and it is better to mobilize the power of the Golden Shield Family to find the missing person than to look for it alone like a headless fly." ”
Rena put away the small notebook, looked at him and said, "I looked for it, but my father didn't agree." ”
"Ah......h
Levi didn't know how to persuade him.
Rena said, "Aren't all mages smart? That's why I'm looking for your help. ”
Levi felt that this sentence was full of slots, and he didn't know how to complain.
"Solving the case is the detective's business, what does this have to do with my mage?"
Rena looked at him and muttered quietly, not hearing clearly, "What did you say?" ”
"It's nothing, the missing person of the escort team must not have been kidnapped by the orcs." Levi said affirmatively.
Rena stared at him and asked, "Why?" ”
Levi explained it to her.
"Mr. Guzawa said that when they caught up with the escort team, only the carriage and food were left in the same place, everyone disappeared, and there was no trace of anyone leaving the surrounding snow."
"Unless orcs can fly, it can't be an orc who did this." Levi concluded.
Rena nodded her head.
Previously, she had only heard that the escort team had disappeared mysteriously, and she did not know the details.
It turns out that the bizarre thing is here.
Rena hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do next?" ”
Levi said, "Go back." ”
Rena shook her head, "I won't go back until I find Susan." ”
"Shhh
Levi took a breath of cold air and sobered up for a moment.
"Let's go to the scene first, but I don't think I can see anything, it's been five or six days."
Rena nodded, pinning her hopes on Levi.
Levi touched the corpses and found that the most valuable thing on the two orc corpses was the animal skin coat.
Other than that, there are only a few unidentified jerky.
"It's poor!"
Levi grabbed a handful of snow and washed his hands, scolding angrily.
Seeing this, Rena said, "If you help me find Susan, I will pay you a good reward!" ”
Levi glanced at her, "Don't you have the money to entrust someone else to help?" I had to run out and take the risk on my own. ”
Rena said, "I didn't expect that. ”
"It's not too late." Levi said.
Rena didn't speak, and Levi gave up trying to persuade her to go back, "Let's go." ”
The two left the maple grove and came to the road.
The roads are covered in snow and littered with footprints, horseshoe prints, and wheel prints.
Levi had a general idea of the route of Gu Ze and the others.
Reverse tracking, it didn't take long to find a wheel print that was off the road.
There are also many horseshoe prints and footprints near the wheel prints.
Looking at the thin white snow printed on the wheels, Levi said: "Luckily, there has been no snow for the past few days, and you can basically see the wheel marks." ”
Rena hurriedly came over, the heat was almost on Levi's face, and asked, "What can you see from this?" ”
Levi turned his head to look at her, almost bumping into her.
"I don't see anything, keep going."
The two continued on their way.
Hearing Levi gasp, Rena asked, "Are you tired?" Do you want me to carry you? ”
Levi looked at her, shook his head and said, "No." ”
"You're so physical! I was still panting after the battle just now, but now I don't breathe after walking a few kilometers. ”
Rena said with a smile: "My master's training method is completely different from the training method of others, most knights only require the cultivation of fighting qi and combat skills, in addition to cultivating fighting qi and combat skills, my master requires me to run around the walls of Maple Leaf City at least three times every day to exercise and enhance physical fitness." ”
"My master said that the most important thing for a knight is physical strength and endurance, even if the fighting spirit is exhausted, as long as there is still a trace of physical strength, he can continue to fight!"
Li Wei was a little surprised, and asked curiously, "Who is your master?" ”
Rena said proudly: "The only great knight in Maple Leaf City, the war knight, Orn Cotter! ”
Levi looked surprised.
Now he knew why Master El was "begging" Rena's master.
It turned out that Rena's master turned out to be a great knight.
At least a fourth-order professional.
There are only a handful of fourth-order professionals in Maple Leaf City, even if the city lord has to give enough face.
Walking and talking, it didn't take long for Levi to stop.
"Here it is."
Rena looked at the snow in front of her and asked suspiciously, "How do you know?" ”
Levi explained: "If you look at the footprints on the ground, the footprints before and after here start to be different, indicating that the people of the escort team disappeared here. ”
Rena looked in the direction he was pointing, and a few meters further, the footprints began to become scattered, and there was something different.
"Mages are really smart!"
Levi heard her emotion and didn't want to speak.
He looked around carefully and found that as Guzawa said, there were no footprints of anyone leaving.
Now the big question is how did the people of the Guardians disappear?
Flew? No way.
Levi crouched down, looked closely, and pondered.
Seeing this, Rena stood beside him and spontaneously guarded his surroundings to protect his safety.
It's a knight's responsibility.
"First of all, it is excluded that others will kidnap them, the kidnappers will fly, and at least there will be traces of the battle at the scene."
"Space Shift Spell...... Forehead! This is too high for the archmage to do. ”
Levi ruled out all the possibilities in his mind and finally settled on one thing.
The convoy members left on their own, not by someone else who abducted them.
Only by voluntarily leaving, will no traces of the battle be left.
"However, how can more than a dozen people quietly hide from many mages and leave here without leaving a trace?"
Levi substituted himself as a member of the Guardian and thought about how to get out of here without leaving a footprint.
His first thought was to return along the road.
It's impossible to go back along the road, and if you go back, you'll meet the mage who came to you.
"You can't go back along the road, and you can't leave footprints."
Levi looked at the wheel prints and horseshoe prints under his feet, and suddenly his heart moved.
"If those people are hiding in the carriage, the mage will transport the people back to Maple Leaf City without knowing it."
"The food returns to the city, and the people disappear out of thin air!"
Levi's eyes lit up.
He thought it was very likely.
All that's left is to look for evidence.
Levi looked down and gestured on the ground, and found that the wheel print in the second half was deeper than the wheel mark in the first half, and the carriage had become heavier.
After a few moments, he stood up.
He turned to look in the direction he was going back, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"I found them!"
