Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Magic Eye Chapter 49 The Third Party

"Two?" Alan was stunned when he heard the news. Hector Wagbin's diary mentions only Negris Winslow, but not that anyone else traveled with him.

A slight tingling sensation came from under Allen's feet, as if Frey had increased the amount of magic released.

"Two indeed!" Frey added, "I confirmed again, there are indeed two of them!"

Alyssa also took out her wand and whispered a few incantations.

"That's right...... Although the voices in the valley were a little chaotic, judging by the footsteps, it was indeed two people. Alyssa closed her eyes, listened carefully for a long time, and then frowned slightly: "But it's a little strange......"

"The two of them aren't together, are they?" Frey quickly asked.

"I don't know much about that...... "Alyssa said," said Alyssa, "but one of them walked very lightly...... Very, very light, the tiptoeing kind. ”

"It's true that one of them had a very small range of movements...... And......" Frey couldn't help but increase his perception again, "he doesn't seem to be on the ground......"

"Not on the ground?" Alan asked, stunned, "What do you mean?"

"He seems to be ...... In mid-air?" Frey was also stunned.

"Where?" said Allen, confused by his words.

"What's going on...... Frey muttered as he stood up, then got up and went to the clearing outside the dungeon, taking a closer look at the valley from top to bottom.

Alan and the others also came out and looked down together.

Unfortunately, it was approaching night, and the valley was pitch black, and they saw nothing. And even in the daytime, you can probably only see the trees growing on the rock wall.

"Is it in these trees......" Frey said, looking down incredulously, and then began to listen to the spell again.

"That's not right...... The trajectory of his movement ......" Frey shook his head after another moment, "If it were from one tree to another, he wouldn't have walked so straight......

"Is it an elf?" said Alan suddenly. If there was something that could walk in mid-air without the help of external forces, it would be an elf. Considering that there are large areas of wood demons in this valley, it would not be surprising if there were indeed elves. And since Frey's Earth Hearing Spell can sense the existence of wood demons, it should theoretically be able to sense elves as well.

"I don't know...... It is possible ......" Frey did not dare to jump to conclusions.

But that's when things took a new turn.

"That's not right...... It's a man!" Frey suddenly whispered, "He seems to have spotted me......! It's like going back to the ground!"

"Then let's get out of here quickly! don't be discovered!" Allen's heart tightened, and he pulled Alyssa and turned around to leave.

But the next second, Frey said, "No...... He was at a great distance from us......"

After a moment of silence, Frey opened his eyes, pointed far to the right, and said, "He's in that direction...... Although he seemed to have discovered me, he left in the opposite direction from us......"

This is really weird......

Alan couldn't think of a reason. Look at Cynthia, she's just as helpless.

"Yes, this one in the valley must be Negris Winslow......" By this time Frey had already started to listen to the spell again, but with the experience he had just had, he seemed to be careful this time, "He stopped in the clearing we had seen the other day...... I feel the magic fluctuations, he's using magic!"

Hearing these people were much more relieved, holding their breath and waiting for Frey to report on what was going to happen.

But Frey stopped at this, and there was no further development on the matter, until much later he brought the final news: Mr. Winslow had left, and returned to his office along one of the tunnels.

"What should I do?" asked Frey, tentatively after a long time, "would you like to go down and have a look......?

"I feel like I'd better not go...... Cynthia stopped him, "It's so weird tonight." ”

"I also don't recommend going now. Alan also said, "It's not sure who the other person is, what he wants to do, and whether he will come back, so it's better not to act rashly." ”

Frey sighed softly and didn't speak, as if he couldn't wait.

"And it's still early, not yet seven o'clock, and if Mr. Winslow turns back later, he'll catch him. Allen added, "Let's wait a few more days to make sure nothing goes wrong before we act." ”

"Okay. Hearing this, Frey finally nodded in agreement. It can be seen that he has been trying very hard to suppress his desire to find out the truth as soon as possible.

"That's all for tonight, let me think about what might be going on. Allen said.

"Well......" Frey said, "the ...... We'll meet tomorrow at the old place. ”

After the discussion, the group went back to their rooms to rest.

However, after Alan returned to the room, he couldn't sleep in bed, and the recent situation was really unexpected for him.

First of all, about Mr. Winslow. According to Hector's diary, Mr. Winslow seemed to be very obsessed with the valley at the time, as if he was studying some forbidden magic, and he stayed here for a long time. But judging by the current situation, not only did he appear for the first time in three days, but he also stayed here for less than an hour before leaving. While the possibility of his return is not ruled out, there are indications that he is not as enthusiastic about the valley as he was then, and that his visit seems to be a matter of routine.

And then there's the second person, which was the weirdest discovery of the evening. They had discussed a lot of possible scenarios before, but they had no idea that there would be another spoiler. Is it in charge of keeping watch on Mr. Winslow? Not really, if he were a sentry, he would not be able to see anything in that position, and the range of vigilance is very limited. So, could it be an elf or something strange like that? And he seems to be more sensitive to magic than Mr. Winslow, and Frey has controlled the amount of magic released to a very small range, and even the old fox has not noticed, but he can detect it.

Who is it? In the end, Alan still didn't have an answer.

"I'll see what's new tomorrow. Alan yawned and prepared for bed.

But at this moment, Riel's voice suddenly came: "Hey, I said ......"

Riel's voice was low, but it was clear that it reached Alan's ears, and he couldn't help but look over there.

Riel was staring at him strangely.

"You've been ...... lately Something doesn't seem right......" Riel said, "Is something strange happening again?"
