Hayes smiled faintly.

As long as there are no major changes, everyone is happy......

But he didn't notice that the girl looked at him with a little more eagerness......

One day later......

Just when everyone was basking in the joy of Princess Ia's return, a strange and ominous thing happened again.

The ivy on the walls of the city wall had withered in half, as if it had been plagued, and even the core of the Grey Valley had been affected, many trees had withered, and even the fish in the Watchman Creek had turned white.

All of a sudden, the residents were in an uproar, fearing that there was an invisible danger around them.

In the council hall in the middle of the Greyhawk Castle, dozens of elites in the territory had gathered at this moment, including Archmage Andreas and Cloud Hunter.

After a brief conversation, everyone dispersed, leaving only the four of them still standing in the bright quartz light.

The castle is full of countless rare paintings, and the clever design makes the space gorgeous and spacious, and the layers of curtains cut off the starlight at night, but also bring people a strange sense of security.

At this moment, the crowd was standing solemnly in the center of the hall, waiting for Hayes to speak.

"So, what do you think about the recent changes in the natural landscape of the Ash Valley?"

Archmage Andresi smiled at the Cloud Hunter, who instantly understood.

"That's right, my lord." The cloud hunter bowed slightly: "After investigation, the Watchman Creek should have been poisoned, and it further affected the nearby flora and fauna. ”

He took out a jar of water from his pocket, and gently splashed some on the ground, and under the reflection of the light, the surface of the water actually glowed slightly blue.

"This toxin is very rare, so I suspect it was brought from the outside."

Hayes thought for a few seconds.

"Hurry up and let the priest of the cathedral start to concoct the antidote, and strictly prohibit the residents from drinking the poisonous water, and most importantly, cloud hunter, you must investigate the source of the toxin, that is, which outsider has approached the stream in the recent period."

"Yes, my lord." The Cloud Hunter quickly retreated, and in a short time he was at the edge of the castle.

Seeing his solemn face, a servant hurriedly greeted him.

"Is there anything important about Lord Cloud Hunter?"

Seeing the other party's sincere face, the cloud hunter roughly recounted the situation.

But it dawned on the servant.

"Well, we know."

The Cloud Hunter looked at him.

"From last night to today, only one person has been to Watchman's Creek secretly."

The Cloud Hunter was suddenly interested.

"And who is he?"

The servant hesitated for a moment, but finally gave the answer.

"It's the girl who was taken in the day before Princess Ia's return, and last night, she suddenly disappeared for no apparent reason, and we speculate that she is the cause of everything."

"Please call her over." The Cloud Hunter commanded solemnly.

A moment later, the girl came to the crowd nervously, only to see the cloud hunter's cold face.

All of a sudden, the nearby servants came up curiously, and some of them even let out a gloating sneer.

"If you see it, you know she's going to make the lords angry."

"An outsider, can you expect her to have a high character?"

The Cloud Hunter frowned, and after a long time, he finally spoke.

"The blue venom in the Watchstream, did you fall?"

The girl shook her head and denied it.

"Take it down, search your body." The Cloud Hunter sighed and said helplessly.

Moments later, a guard brought a brown bottle.

"Your Excellency, she has nothing on her body, just a small bottle of fish food."

The Cloud Hunter squinted his eyes and noticed that there was a little more timidity in the girl's gaze, which made him feel pity.

Indeed...... It is genuine fish food.

He looked at it again with a firm gaze, but found that the girl's face actually showed a bit of delicacy and innocence.

"Can you tell me what you did last night?" The Cloud Hunter asked amicably.

"I ...... I ......," said the girl, hesitantly, "I bought a bottle of fish food with my money, and then fed it to the fish in the stream. ”

The Cloud Hunter was speechless for a moment.

In that case, she is indeed innocent, and it seems that I will have to find out somewhere else.

This kind girl, let her continue to do her own thing.

Then he went outside, but found no clues worth mentioning.

Could it be that the other party is invisible? Whether it is by the city wall or by the stream, there is no trace of it.

Day 2......

When Hayes awoke from his dream, the first thing he did in the morning was to inspect the Valley of the Eagles.

However, when he came to the side of a brown stone, he was shocked to find that the edge of the stone was glowing with a faint green light.

Moreover, it is still spreading, the toxicity is not controlled at all, and if it continues, it is likely to affect the entire Valley of the Eagle.

Just when he was at his wit's end, the Cloud Hunter came to his side again.

He greeted the other in a friendly manner, only to find that his friend's expression was unusually serious.

"You know, Hayes, this toxin is extremely evil." The Cloud Hunter gently picked up a small piece of glowing green powder with the tip of a brass arrow and blew it.

"As far as I know, it's even very likely to be related to a class of ancient venomous spiders."

As soon as the Cloud Hunter finished speaking, Hayes immediately became alert.

It was too late, but it was too late, and I saw that the cloud hunter put the poison-stained arrow on the bowstring, and then began to condense the light blue magic aura, and then the bow bolt wrapped in blue light shot straight into the sky.

The Cloud Hunter said, "This is our family's unique 'magic tracking', and as long as it touches the objects that the owner has used, it will naturally find out the owner's location. ”

Hayes was overjoyed.

He watched as the arrow flew into the sky and then fell gracefully like a bird, and the moment it reached the ground, Hayes could feel a circle of pure blue ripples, even though he could no longer see its entity.

"By following its guidance, you can find the source of the toxin."

After some time......

They were surprised to find that they had come to the little girl's side again.

At this moment, they all noticed that a green and faint magic mark appeared on the girl's body, and its attributes were exactly the same as the toxins in the stone.

Looking at her pitiful gaze like a begging, Hayes suddenly felt a little angry.

But the Cloud Hunter unexpectedly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, this magic mark doesn't seem to have been put on by herself."
