Chapter 265: Tracking the Trail
Regina helped introduce from the side, "This is Mr. Gavin I introduced to you earlier, he is also from Tesser, from the Nott family. β
"It turns out that you are the kid of the Nott family, how did you come here? Is Baron Tessen okay? When Copperfield heard Gavin's identity, his face softened a little.
It is natural to feel very cordial when you meet people from your hometown thousands of kilometers away, especially when the other party comes with good intentions.
"My father has died in the marching mountains." Gavin's face was faintly sad, "The situation on Tesser's side is too bad, Fort Noether was besieged and fell by goblins, I decided to go away to study and seek a way to govern the country, I heard that there are a large number of refugees from Tesser's life in the valley, I want to first seek a place for these compatriots to live and work here." β
All kinds of righteousness, all kinds of moral holy clothes, Gavin unceremoniously pulled it on himself.
What kind of people you have to deal with, what kind of sword you have to show.
To deal with Copperfield, it is necessary to show the sword of selflessness of loyalty and patriotism, and for the country and the people.
Not to mention that Copperfield was in awe after hearing this.
Even Regina couldn't help but look sideways, and looked at Gavin twice, but she didn't expect that this young man would still have such a grandiose and worried heart for the country and the people.
"Tessen taught a good son, and he died without regrets." Hearing this, Copperfield gave Gavin a thumbs up and said, "We'll talk about the old things later, and finding out the causes and consequences of the missing case and rescuing the missing villagers is what we need to do most at the moment." β
"Those who dare to do things under the general's nose are by no means ordinary people, and ask the general to take us to the village to see the scene of the crime, whether we can find more valuable clues, it is best to find a few pieces of underwear for the missing person, which have not been washed." Because of Copperfield's appearance, Gavin's enthusiasm has risen by more than a notch.
"It's easy, please follow me." Copperfield turned his horse's head and added, "The Watchman has sunk. The last of the watchmen died with him, and there was no more General Copperfield, only a group of refugees begging for a living in a foreign land. β
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Gavin couldn't help but itch and said, "There are so many pirate ships, I saw you sail into the eye of the storm with my own eyes, and there are no bones left, why did you suddenly appear here?" β
"It's not a strange thing." Copperfield said lightly, "The slightly larger eye of the storm is a water portal, which is an open secret that many old captains know, and the eye of the storm that we were forced to sail into helplessly at the beginning, the same is true, it took us to the sea of falling stars, but in the process of rushing into the eye of the storm, the Watcher was too badly injured, and barely sailed to the left of Dragon Bay, and then it couldn't hold on and sank." β
Copperfield said it lightly.
But even people like Regina, who have no sailing experience, can feel the danger.
Can anyone rush into the eye of the storm?
In particular, the eye of the storm that opens the water portal is not something that ordinary ships and ordinary people can rush into.
This is not only a test of the ship's ability to withstand wind and waves, but also a test of the captains and sailors' ability to steer the ship.
This made Regina curious about Copperfield's origins, and couldn't help but ask Gavin in a low voice: "Is Copperfield Village Chief very famous in Tether?" β
"How famous, do you know why his battleship is called the Watcher? Why is he honored as the Last Watchman? β
The other party's inquiry just scratched Gavin's itch, not to mention unpleasantness: "Because he is piloting the last warship of the Royal Navy of Tesser, thirteen years after the destruction of the Royal Navy, he still persistently guards the coastal port of Tesser, and in the face of the siege of dozens of pirate ships, he will not retreat."
He and his crew compose a lament on the waters of Tesser, and even the Iron Man will weep for it.
When they heard of the death of the Overtaker, the despair of the whole nation of Tesser, far above the royal exile, for their last guardian was gone, and the pirates could land with impunity, plundering and trampling on our territory.
In fact, since the sinking of the Watcher, the pirates of the NΓ€lancer Islands have been unprecedentedly arrogant around Tether, not only plundering, but even directly taking the city. β
After listening to Gavin's introduction, Regina was in awe: "I didn't expect that the village chief of Copperfield turned out to be such a respectable patriot, we were disrespectful before. β
Gavin added, "He and his Watcher also have the much-talked-about legend of escaping from the red bow of the ghost ship, which is said to be filled not only with gold and precious stones, but also with spirits and even more strange things that ride people like horses." β
Hearing the last sentence, Regina's eyes sparkled and said, "What's weirder to ride people like horses?" What is that? A whole new kind of undead creature? Never heard of this unique undead before. β
Her reaction, coupled with her previous unique statement and justification about the ghost manor Vizeme, made Gavin can't help but wonder if she was just a ghost lover, otherwise why was the reaction so big?
But he replied, "I don't know, it's probably some kind of undead transformed by a sea creature, or a corrupt creature doesn't have to ......."
"Don't listen to their rumors, it's just a few Mind Flayer Spirits." Copperfield didn't look back.
Although Gavin's conversation with Regina was muffled, the distance between the two sides was not far away, and it was difficult for him not to hear it.
"Mind Flayer?" Regina couldn't help but sneer, "That's really an octopus riding on a person, hahaha...... It's even weirder to ride people like horses, and it's actually about mind snatchers, haha......"
After laughing twice just now, thinking of the disappearance case in the Tesel refugee camp, feeling a little out of place, Regina forcibly held back her laughter and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's me who lost my temper." β
As he spoke, the Tesel refugee camp had arrived.
When Regina first mentioned the term Tesser, Gavin could associate it with poverty.
Looking at it now, it doesn't seem like that at all.
It is estimated that this name was handed down when the Tassel refugees first arrived in the Battle Valley.
Life in the Tesser refugee camp is not rich, but it is definitely not miserable to make people cry.
Come to think of it, the valley is vast and sparsely populated, especially guarding the large forest of Comanso, as long as you have a little hunting skills and people are a little more diligent, there is no shortage of all kinds of game.
Especially with the veteran Copperfield, a group of sailors led by him, his strength is more secure.
Life is hard and hard.
In this case, it will be much more difficult for them to abandon this new home and go to the land of the Three Rivers with themselves.
"This is the Orr family, one of the homes of the first missing villagers, a family of six, and overnight, completely disappeared." Copperfield stopped in front of a civil hut.
Gavin, Regina, and the canine demon the size of a normal wolf get in.
This room is not too small, but it is used for a family of six, it is unusually narrow, and it is full of all kinds of daily sundries, and it is a little difficult to turn around.
After perceiving it carefully, Regina and the dog demon shook their heads at the same time.
They didn't feel too strong magical fluctuations in it, which meant that the other party was not taking people away through the etheric plane, the shadow plane, or teleportation spells, but more like controlling the person and going out on their own.
Gavin and Regina looked at each other and thought of the same spellβto charm humans.
If it's because of this spell, then there are many more suspicious ranges.
Because this spell has only one ring, the threshold is very low.
Many monster hunters have spell-like abilities of the same name as this spell.
"Trouble the village chief, take us to other people's homes, preferably, the one who just disappeared recently."
"Okay, follow me."
Copperfield took Gavin and them, and drilled several houses in a row, and the situation was much the same.
They all disappeared at night, and they were all family.
"Did you find out?" Gavin whispers to Regina.
"Found what?"
"What the missing families have in common."
"You mean their home is in the middle of nowhere?"
"Not only that, haven't you noticed that the plants near their house are more withered than in other places?" The reason for the long-term enlightenment of trees, although Gavin is not a druid, is very sensitive to all kinds of plant scents.
After Gavin's reminder, Regina couldn't help but nod and said, "It's really like this, what's the matter, you have a new guess direction?" β
"I'm a little eyebrow-raising, but I'm not sure, this kind of thing can't be guessed." Gavin suggested, "Give Andrew a try, he has the ability to track people from a distance, as long as the other party is not moving these missing people through the aether or the shadow plane, he can follow the breath." β
"What are you waiting for? Try it before you talk. β
"Andrew, can you lock it in?"
"It's locked, follow me." The Inuma nodded and emerged from the house.
Gavin and they didn't dare to slack off, and they followed.
The direction in which the Dog Demon led them was not the Lucky Fang Mage Tower, but the Great Forest of Komanso.
The Great Forest of Comanso is the largest forest in Feren, it was, and still is.
At its largest, it covered the entire valley, Sambia and Cormier.
The valley is the result of a mutual agreement between elves and humans.
It's just that humans are still thriving in the valley, but the elves of Comanso are attracted by the soul of Eternal Island and start a great migration.
This is often referred to as the Great Retreat of the Elves.
Ninety percent of the Komanso elves responded to this call and threw their beloved Great Forest to other intelligent races.
But human beings still dare not venture into the depths of the forest, except for those few trade routes that run through the great forest.
Regardless of the various predators, humans do not have the good forest memory ability of elves, and it is easy to get lost in the shadow of huge trees when they go deep into it.
The goal of the Inudemon is clear, and that is the Great Forest of Kosholman.
While hurrying away, Gavin asked, "General Copperfield, have you hunted in the Great Forest of Comantso recently?" β
"That's right, at this time of year, when all kinds of prey are at their fattest, we will organize the people in the village to hunt."
"Those who are missing, are all people participating in the hunt?"
"Everybody's in attendance."
"Did you encounter anything strange when you were hunting in Comanso? Or are there more bizarre places, such as ancient tombs, caves, etc.? β
"This ...... Probably not! "The last question, Copperfield didn't dare to bite hard, after all, when hunting, the scene was a bit chaotic, the people were scattered, and he really couldn't tell whether other people had encountered it or not.
"Yes." The answer to Gavin this time was that the young man who had been silent and followed Copperfield looked to be twenty-three or fourteen years old, and he was four or five percent similar in appearance to Copperfield, and eighty percent of the two were father and son.
"What is it?" Gavin asked hurriedly.
"It should be a tomb, an elven tomb." "We were driving the wild boars into the trap, and one of them trampled the ground and fell into a cave, but because the cave was too narrow and deep, and he was anxious to drive away the other boars, so he didn't pay any attention. β
