As the clock ticked by, Elder Surion was completely lost in thought.

Carefully sorting out the known situation, he felt more and more that what Leo said was very likely.

And even if it turns out to be wrong in the end, it won't actually have any bad effects, anyway, I don't have any clue at all on my side now.

With this in mind, he asked very sincerely, "If you can, can you please help me in my investigation?" A few days ago, one of our priests suddenly disappeared, and perhaps the trace of the assailant has not completely disappeared, and you should be the one who knows him best. Of course, I will do my best to ensure that there are no problems with your safety. ”

Coming here, in fact, it was only ten days away from the royal court, and there was a smooth road ahead, and Leo didn't want to make any more trouble.

But for now, he didn't say no to Surion.

First, if you really refuse directly, the other party will definitely have a hundred ways to make yourself unable to get along in the Supreme Forest.

Second, if that person is really the guy he met before, although he killed his companion, God knows if he has anything to do with the Darkmoon Church, in this way, it may pose a threat to Isha.

Thirdly, that guy had repaired himself and others at that time, but he was also hit by Brock's arrow, if he encountered it in the forest, he must definitely not be able to escape, and now he can take revenge with the help of the moon elves, or expel them, of course, why not.

Fourth, with Illida's personality, he will definitely stand by when he encounters this kind of thing, and as a friend who has been friends for life, Leo is embarrassed to ignore it.

For such a good reason, Leo had no choice but to look at Illidia, and then smiled: "No problem, it's my honor to help you." ”

Surion never thought that Leo would agree so happily, and even prepared for an indirect threat in his heart just now. But now there is no need to do such a disobedient move, which makes him secretly relieved.

"Then in order to prevent the traces from disappearing, without further ado, the two of you have a good rest, and we will set off early tomorrow morning. The Moon Elf Elder made the final decision.

............

The location of the Supreme Forest is unique, with the impenetrable sea to the west, the vast desert to the east, the misty ash valleys to the south, and the unclimbable highland glaciers to the north.

Except for the occasional annual arrival of human ships from the west coast. There is almost no other commercial activity here, and naturally there are no hotels.

However, in order to cope with the arrival of outsiders, the Moon Elves still prepared guest houses for guests, and it was free of charge.

Illidia was originally an elf and a more noble druid, so she naturally received high-standard treatment from the Moonlight Glade Inn. And with Elder Surion's instructions, Leo also received the best hospitality as a clue provider.

In a natural wooden house, Leo and Illidia enjoyed a fruit chowder salad, mushroom bisque and sweet moonwheat bread.

After experiencing the terrible food of the Sun Elves. Leo didn't expect the Moon Elf's food to be so delicious.

Soon, the hungry two men had wiped out all their food and lay comfortably in a hammock made of vines.

"What position does an elder belong to in your society?" Leo asked casually.

Illidia has lived here since she was a child. Naturally, he was clear about this, so he replied without thinking: "A tree of life similar to the Moonlight Glade has three elders fixed on it. Two of them are nominated by the local Moon Elves and are responsible for the day-to-day internal and external management respectively. Last one. It is the overseer elder sent by the royal court, who usually does not participate in management, but when it comes to major decisions. Have the right to vote. ”

Leo nodded in understanding, and muttered, "Not bad, the original separation of powers." ”

"Separation of powers?" Illidia had apparently never heard of the term.

Leo smiled, didn't explain this complicated issue to the other party, and instead said, "So how is the power of the royal court distributed?"

"The royal family is the only ruler of the royal court. Illidia said with some reverence, and it was clear that the royal family had a lot of place in his heart.

This answer made Leo wonder: "What about the Luna Church and your druids?

"The Holy See of the Moonlight is on the banks of the Moonlight River, and the Sanctuary of the Will of Nature is on the Holy Mountain of Hyjal, and although they are not far from the royal court, as the servants of the Great Being, we rarely interfere in mundane matters. In fact, in each generation of the royal family, many people have become priests of the moon gods, or druids of the will of nature, and the gifts of the moon gods and the will of nature often cooperate and intertwine with each other, forming the basis of our moon elves. ”

Leo, who is well aware of the dangers of theocracy, still appreciates the rule model of the Moon Elves, in contrast, the Holy Urion Kingdom has many hidden shortcomings, and if it is not reformed as soon as possible, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. However, it is impossible for him to make irresponsible remarks about this kind of thing, so there is no difference between wanting to or not not.

"What kind of profession is this generation of Moon Elf King?" asked Leo curiously.

Illidia replied, "This generation of Moon Elf Kings is a bit special, that is, he is not a priest, nor a druid, not even a more common archer, but a warrior!

"It's really rare. Leo smiled.

He knew very well that the Moon Elves were much more slender than humans, and there was naturally a gap in absolute strength. And most of their natural blood comes from nature and their impact on the environment. Under such conditions, the Moon Elves are more suitable for becoming archers, assassins, and other professions that rely on agility and the environment.

After a few more casual conversations, Leo's sleepiness gradually rose. It's really too tiring these days, and in the Ash Valley, there's hardly a day of complete rest, and almost every minute and every second has to be on the lookout for monsters.

In the blink of an eye, he had fallen asleep without even performing his routine meditation.

............

Early the next morning, a group of people left the Tree of Life and headed deeper into the forest.

The leader was Liamel who met yesterday, and the team members were also those from yesterday and Elder Surion.

However, the expressions of these patrol members were very strange, because the two people who were captured yesterday had turned into guests of Elder Surion. And this outing, it is said that it is based on the information they provided. I decided to come down.

There is no doubt that Liamel was proud to have become a sheriff at a young age, and her face was also very serious, and her eyes were looking straight ahead. Everyone could see that she was secretly depressed about this.

It's really unacceptable to catch the wrong person and not say anything, and now you still have to follow their orders.

Although several patrol members did not know the details, they did not believe that these two guys who suddenly appeared could really help the disappearance.

Here everyone knows. Captain Leah Mel is a well-known master of tracking, and even she has not found much, and of course the others are even more impossible.

All the way to the east, although it is in the forest, it belongs to the territory of the moon elves, so a smooth forest road has long been built around, and it is not difficult to walk.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, and the speed of a group of people was fast. It was already ten kilometers away from the Moonlight Glades.

Elder Surion paused, pointed to a large tree by the side of the forest road, and said, "Wendy disappeared here, right?"

Liamel nodded, "Yes." Elder, this is out of the confines of the Living Tree. ”

Seeing Leo's puzzled face, Illidia explained in a low voice, "Within the range of the breath of the Tree of Life, we Moon Elves can get a lot of buffs. Faster action. The power is greater, the mind is quicker, and even the soul is specially protected. In the event of an abnormality, the Living Tree can also react immediately. It can be said that the tree of life is closely related to our moon elves. ”

Leo muttered, "In other words, that guy knew this, and then deliberately chose to choose a target to hijack outside the area of influence of the Living Tree. ”

Hearing the two talking, Liamel glanced at them, but didn't say anything.

Surion could probably guess what Liamel was thinking, smiled kindly, and said, "Then our sheriff, could you please give us a comprehensive and detailed introduction?"

Although Leah Meier is proud, she cares more about the life and death of her compatriots, and if these two people really have special abilities that can help her find the perpetrators, then she certainly doesn't mind paying some respect.

After a few steps to the big tree, she spoke, "It rained two days before the accident, and Wendy, as usual, went out to collect her mother's favorite green leaf mushroom, but it never returned. And we only learned about this incident after we got a report from her family. ”

"Afterwards, according to Wendy's habits, we found this place, and we also found some subtle clues. ”

With that, Liamel crouched down and brushed away the grass under the tree.

Leo and Illidia both looked over, but didn't notice anything unusual, so they had to wait for the other to continue explaining.

Leahmel's expression remained unchanged, pointing to a tiny depression in the ground, and said, "Look, this mark represents the green leaf mushroom that was once the governor and was later thought to have been picked. ”

The two nodded silently, but they still didn't understand what the other meant.

Liamel finally began to show a little displeasure, she had already prompted to this extent, they didn't even know what to do next, could it be that Elder Surion really wanted to rely on such two people to find the murderer?

At this time, Elder Surion's calm voice came: "Sheriff, please continue, I think our druids and human friends should have seen this part clearly. ”

Lia Meier wrinkled her nose imperceptibly, suppressed the emotions in her heart, and pointed to the side: "See?"

Leo and Illidia followed her fingers and soon spotted a small cluster of turquoise mushrooms.

Elder Surion explained, "That's the green leaf mushroom, and it's one of the specialties of our Moonlight Glade. However, it has a somewhat strange taste that not everyone can accept. I don't think you've tried it yet, Illida. ”

Illidia replied honestly, "No, I grew up in the Starry Hills, and I really haven't seen any mushrooms. ”

At this time, Leo suddenly reacted: "It seems that the mushrooms over there should have been growing for a while, but Wendy only picked the ones here, and the distance is so close, it's too unreasonable." This is enough to prove that she was hijacked when she was picking mushrooms. ”

"That's right. Leamel finally gave a look of approval, then sighed and continued, "But we don't have much else to discover. That person or those people were very strong, and in the process of kidnapping the third-level priest Wendy, they were able to strike a successful blow, leaving no trace of the battle, or even leaving a trace of leaving. ”

Elder Surion added, "However, I found some remnants of demonic energy when I tested it with my divine magic, but it should have completely dissipated by now. ”

Leo knew that this situation was indeed a headache, not to mention that the relatively less versatile magic could not accurately find the leader, and even magic, I am afraid it would not have much effect.

Even if it is a level 10 prophecy magic time rewind, it is best to be able to cast it when there are witnesses, otherwise it will only be a waste of mana, and it will not have much substantive effect.

After Wendy's briefing, all eyes fell on Leo and Illida.

"What observations and discoveries have been made?" asked Surion.

Leo replied with some embarrassment, "There is still too little information to be known, and there is no other information, such as the situation of the other missing people." ”

In this regard, Elder Surion was prepared, and directly took out a map of the Supreme Forest that was not very detailed, on which the location and time of the moon elf's disappearance were marked with red numbers, and it was obvious that they had also analyzed this situation.

Leo looked at the map carefully, and then said, "There is no pattern, if it is a person, then he should be very fast." ”

"It's not easy to maintain such a speed in the forest. Illidia said that as a druid, it would be difficult to move at full speed in the form of a cheetah.

"That is......" Illidia quickly came to a conclusion.

"He's able to fly non-stop!" the two uttered their guesses almost simultaneously.

In this case, we came to the same conclusion, but it was of little use. Liamel chimed in, a hint of disappointment in her tone.

Unexpectedly, Leo shook his head and said, "Not really. Since it can be confirmed that he can continue to fly, it can also be confirmed why so many people are missing, but no trace is left. ”

"But what's the difference, can you still find the traces of a man's flight, and then use this to find his hiding place?" Leamel's voice became a little sharper, and if it weren't for Surion's presence, she would have scoffed at it. (To be continued......)
