"Dan, didn't you say you found some clues before? How long do you think the mission will take longer? ”

"Optimistically, it should take about a week."

"Then I'll give you half a month, this operation is focused on figuring out the truth, not killing the enemy. So whether it's successful or not, make sure to get back to town safely, no problem, right? ”

"Look at what you said - as if I was controlled by the organizers, and I'd rather die than complete the mission?"

"You know what I mean."

"Got it, my lord, I'll keep it safe as much as I can."

The personnel and general plan of the pursuit party were thus finalized.

As the leader of this team, Dan also has the important task of tracing traces.

Alan of the school of war is the main combat power.

Lindsey and Torch were responsible for assisting and complementing the battle.

This matter should not be delayed for too long.

So they finalized the general plan, said goodbye to An Rui, prepared dry food and water, and walked directly to the south of the town.

But before they could get out of town, a familiar shout came from behind.

"Lindsay, wait!"

Lindsay turned her head to look.

It was Joel, a young craftsman, running towards them out of breath.

He clutched a gray cloth bag in his arms and stared directly at Lindsay, who was about to leave the town.

Lindsay nodded to her companion, and then hurriedly greeted her:

"Joel, what's wrong?"

"I, I heard you're leaving." Joel came in a hurry. After being stopped by Lindsay, he immediately handed the cloth bag in his hand to Lindsay, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained, "So, I think I can send these things to you first." ”

Lindsey untied the string from the pouch and opened it to take a look.

Inside was a wooden bow, three arrows pitch-black, and a long dagger with a glint of cold light.

Seeing Lindsay open the cloth bag, Joel immediately had a proud smile on his face:

"This is the best weapon I can make with my current craft."

"First of all, I have made the center of gravity and shape of this long knife according to Master Anrui's weapon, and you must be the most accustomed to using this weapon as you learn combat skills from him. There are also arrows of these three arrows, I asked for a little stibnite steel from the old man, this is an ore that has been affected by essentia, and if the awakened person or demonic beast is shot by this arrow, the power in the body will be affected immediately. ”

In Joel's explanation, Lindsay also opened the [Simulated Operation] to check.

[Weapon: Long Dagger]

[The high-quality cold weapon carefully adjusted by the craftsman, the center of gravity and shape are carefully polished, and it has excellent results when it fits specific tactics. 】

[Good quality weapon, easy to sell everywhere.] 】

【Arrow: Antimony Arrow】

[The craftsman concocts an arrow made of stibnite steel, and hitting the target will have the effect of disturbing the essena; The shaft is made of oak wood, which has high density and strength, which guarantees excellent penetration and stability of the arrow. 】

[Extremely excellent special arrows, some people are willing to buy them at a high price. 】

After examining these two pieces of Joel's meticulous work, Lindsay's eyes naturally fell on the last wooden bow.

Joel aptly explains:

"This bow is made of oak wood, the string is made of fine beef tendons, and the whole bow is in the best condition in terms of elasticity and hardness, it is my proud work!"

[Weapon: Oak Bow]

[The craftsman carefully crafts the high-grade wooden bow, which feels comfortable, has a moderate weight, and the sturdy and durable material allows it to accompany the user for a long time. 】

[A high-quality weapon that is easy to sell to hunters or soldiers.] 】

All three of these things were carefully crafted by Joel.

Lindsay gratefully and solemnly put these things away, and thanked Joel at the same time:

"Joel, thank you."

"I don't have any ...... right now"

When he heard Lindsay say the beginning, Joel realized that he was going to be paid, so Joel directly waved his hand to interrupt Lindsay's following words:

"Okay, we still need to talk about this relationship?"

"If you dare to say what is going on, don't come to me for help in the future."

Lindsay shook her head with a wry smile, and Joel leaned on it, whispering in a voice that only each other could hear:

"And aren't you going to Montenegro?"

"If you want to do this kind of big thing in the future, if you don't try to use something good now, you can take it with confidence!"

Speaking of which, Lindsay suddenly remembered that she had something she hadn't dealt with yet.

He might be out of town for a few days this time, but there's still something to take care of in the botanical cottage that Finn has entrusted him!

Lindsey hurriedly spoke to Joel:

"By the way, is there anything else I can ask you to help with?"

"Help." Hearing this, Joel had a happy smile on his face, "You just say, as long as I can do it, I promise to help you!" ”

Lindsey then explained:

"I'm probably going to be away for a short time this time."

"During this time, I would like to ask you to take care of the plants in the hut for me, and the watering time and care methods are written in the notebook."

Joel patted his chest with confidence:

"Isn't it just taking care of plants, this must be no problem!"

"Lindsay, it's time for us to go!"

At this moment, Dan in front of him motioned to Lindsay not to delay any longer.

Lindsay had no choice but to nod her head to Joel again and turn to catch up with the group.

In the rear, Joel watched his friend leave.

As he prepares to go to Finn's cabin, find the notes, and examine the plants, Joel suddenly discovers something:

"Wait! Why didn't Lindsey bring the backpack I made for him? ”

"Is my design ...... Any questions? ”

……

On the other side, the group followed Dan into the forest.

They first came to the location where Lindsay had killed the three ice badgers, and that was the end of Dan's tracking last night.

Before returning, though, the huntress carved a mark into the tree.

Check it out in daylight at the moment.

The direction to which the imprint points is to the southeast of the forest.

After coming here, Dan confirmed it again. To make sure that her judgment was not wrong, she led the three Lindsey to continue to shuttle forward in the forest.

Walking through the forest, the huntress has a determined gaze and is full of confidence.

Lindsey saw the scene in her eyes.

He thought of his inability to track down the mastermind behind the scenes, so he was naturally a little curious:

"Dan, how did you find the connection between the mastermind behind the scenes and the ice badger?"

The Huntress explained very generously:

"Quite simply, this is the ability of my craft after the fourth sublimation. In front of ordinary people, animals are just animals, but in my opinion, they have an indelible stench on them. ”

When Ju heard this, he immediately couldn't suppress his surprise:

"Mom! You...... Aren't there only three stages to your abilities? When is it time to advance to the fourth stage! ”

"A good adventurer always leaves some hole cards for himself." Dan looked at his son disdainfully, and replied in a tone that he should have, "Besides, as far as we are from a town, it doesn't make sense for me to show off." ”

Under Torch's confused expression, Dan continued to explain to Lindsay the details of her tracking method:

"If your senses are blessed with hunters' skills, they often emit a smell that lasts for a long time and is difficult for ordinary people to detect. Along with the states of courtship, fear, joy, excitement, and anger, the messages of these scents are also different. ”

"And my solution is to follow the smell they leave behind, to find out where they came from. As long as the mastermind behind the scenes has come into contact with these ice badgers, then they will definitely not be able to escape! ”
