Chapter 55: The Missing
Everyone looked at Wang Xiaotian and the three of them, turned around and entered the living room in an orderly manner. Cabal stretched out his hand and led Wang Xiaotian and the three into the living room.
The people who had come in earlier had already sat around the carpet, leaving the middle spot for the four of them. Wang Xiaotian quickly checked and found that there were only fourteen people, including Kabal.
Kabal asked people to serve milk tea and snacks, and then briefly told his experience during this time. Immediately after, he asked Mahathir about their experiences.
Mahathir Mohamad is the guide of the team. He told Cabal that when he encountered a sandstorm, he was the first to react, and quickly pulled a camel to its knees, and he hid behind the camel and hugged the camel's neck tightly to avoid the sandstorm.
After the sandstorm ended, he used the camel's sense of smell to collect some scattered camels, and also rescued some members of the group who were buried by the wind and sand.
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but ask, "Who are the other two besides Professor Cabal?"
Hearing Wang Xiaotian's inquiry, Mahathir first glanced at Kabal. Seeing that Cabal nodded slightly, he said, "The other two are Professor Krimer and Assistant Professor Emina. ”
Wang Xiaotian listened and asked tentatively, "These two are ladies?"
Cabal nodded and said, "Yes." These two ladies are very yearning for the Eastern Chu Kingdom and want to go to the Eastern Chu Kingdom. They put in a lot of effort to participate in this delegation. ”
Wang Xiaotian saw that there were two other women in the room and asked, "These are the two students that the professor said?"
Cabal nodded, "Yes." The two of them, along with Professor Klimai and Assistant Professor Emina, are all from Nia College. ”
Wang Xiaotian looked at the two girls and asked, "Are you familiar with Professor Klimer and Assistant Teacher Emina?"
The two girls shook their heads. One of them said: "We are two teachers who only met after joining the delegation. ”
For this, Wang Xiaotian didn't feel abnormal. Students may not know all the teachers in the college. Similarly, teachers may not know all the students in the college. In general, students only know their own instructors. Teachers only know a subset of the students they teach.
He also met Hua Xingan, Hu Zhuoheng, Liu Heting and other teachers after participating in this operation. Previously, there was no intersection with them at all.
He asked, "Who was with the two ladies during the sandstorm?"
The crowd shook their heads. None of them remembered where the two women were when they were hit by the sandstorm.
Wang Xiaotian looked at Kabal and said, "Professor, are those two ladies cultivators?"
Cabal nodded, "Yes." Professor Krimai is a fifth-level Force Higher-Order, and Assistant Teacher Emina is a fourth-level Force Senior. So far, the two pages of their book of fate have not reacted to anything. ”
Wang Xiaotian frowned and said to himself, "Strange. Why don't they remember where they were when they were in a sandstorm?"
Cabal thought for a moment and said, "Actually, before the sandstorm, we encountered a group of bandits. There are many of them, and although most of us are cultivators, we tend to be research-oriented, and our actual combat power is insufficient. ”
"In order to defend against the bandits, Krimai and Emina, a total of five relatively strong cultivators, were in charge of the rear of the hall, and the others took the lead under the leadership of Mahathir. The bandits did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but kept a distance and followed us closely. ”
Xia Xianlong nodded and said, "That's right, this is a common trick used by bandits. Their purpose is to make you afraid, panicked, and exhausted. When you and your camels are almost exhausted, they will attack. ”
Cabal nodded, "Yes." That's what happened. Behind the five of us, the others ran in a panic, and soon the formation was chaotic. The five of us also distanced ourselves from those in front of us. ”
"When the bandits saw that our formation was out of order, they immediately blew their horns and prepared to attack us. They scattered the ranks, intending to outflank them from both flanks. They rode all war horses, and our camels were not fast, so they couldn't outrun them. It didn't take long for them to start charging. With the speed at which they cut down their horses, it would only take a few minutes to surround the five of us. ”
Just as they were stirring up their horses and preparing to charge, the sky suddenly darkened. When I looked up, I saw an overwhelming sandstorm coming towards us. Those in front of them have been caught in a sandstorm. ”
The bandits immediately blew their horns and told their men to turn around and flee. Before the five of us could react, the sandstorm came. I was riding on a camel when a sandstorm came, and the camel was frightened and ran as hard as it could. ”
"Although I have a glow protector and am not afraid of sandstorms, I can't stop the frightened camel, so I can only hold the camel's neck tightly. I don't know how long it took, but the camel suddenly fell while running, and the camel and I rolled down a hill with a grunt. Before I could react, the sand and dust buried me and the camel. ”
"By the time I struggled to crawl out from under the sand, the sandstorm was over and it was getting dark. The camel had long since stopped moving, and it was thought that it should have been suffocated. I had to judge the general direction by the position of the sun, and then I went to the west, wanting to join the others. However, until it was dark, I found no clues from anyone else. ”
"The next day, I continued west. By noon, I came across a caravan. From their mouths, they knew that I had actually deviated far from it, and that it was impossible to walk back to the place where the sandstorm had been encountered in this direction. ”
"That caravan is a camel caravan from the Yu Firm. They gave me a horse and a guide to take me to the place where the sandstorm had been. It's long gone, and all clues are gone. I had no choice but to return to the caravan with my guide, and follow the caravan to the Eastern Chu Kingdom to ask you for help. ”
Wang Xiaotian thought for a moment and asked, "Professor Kabal, just now you said that the five of you are in charge of the palace, who are the other two ladies besides Klimai and Emina?"
Two middle-aged men in their forties raised their hands, "It's us." ”
Wang Xiaotian asked them, "What was your situation at that time?"
The two men looked at each other, and one of them said, "There was a sandstorm at that time, and our camels were frightened. However, the two of us were running in the direction of the big army. Seeing that everyone else was lying on the ground and using their camels to resist the wind and sand, the two of us jumped off the camels and lay on the ground, covering our heads with our clothes to avoid the wind and sand. After the sandstorm, they joined up with the others. ”
Wang Xiaotian asked again: "Later, did you find any traces of the bandits who chased you?"
Everyone shook their heads almost at the same time.
Xia Xianlong couldn't help but ask, "Then how did you get here?"
"We were worried that the three of them would be in danger during the sandstorm, so we divided into three groups and searched in three directions," Mahathir said. The next day is agreed to meet at the camp of the previous day. We searched for a long time, but we couldn't find any trace of them, so we had to go back to the agreed place to meet. ”
"After we met, we had a discussion. Everyone thinks that even if we go to the Eastern Chu Kingdom, our eyes are black, and we don't know who to look for, let alone where to go. Everyone unanimously agreed not to rush to the Eastern Chu Kingdom first, stay and continue to search, and see if they can be found. ”
Wang Xiaotian asked, "How long have you been looking?"
Mahathir said, "Three days." Three days later we met our compatriots from the Canaanite Commonwealth. ”
Wang Xiaotian asked tentatively, "Royal Guards?"
Mahathir nodded and said, "Yes." General Gulman of the Royal Guard carefully interrogated us about our identities and recent experiences, and told us not to wander around, he would find a way to help us find it. ”
"He also arranged for a guard to escort us here, so that we could stay in peace and wait for his good news. We came here to stay and stay until today. ”
Wang Xiaotian asked, "How many people have come from the royal guards?"
Mahathir said, "50 people." Ten people lived next door, saying they were protecting us. Twenty other people, who left yesterday morning. There are also twenty people, who have been following General Gulman, looking for the place where we had an accident. ”
Wang Xiaotian and Xia Xianlong glanced at each other. Both of them guessed that the missing Klimai and Emina, would soon be the target of the royal guard. In other words, at least one of these two people is a member of the royal family! Otherwise, it would be impossible for the royal guards to search for them so long after the incident.
Wang Xiaotian and Xia Xianlong asked for some details separately, and after confirming that everyone was not lying, they exchanged glances with Hua Ziyu.
Hua Ziyu asked, "Professor Kabal, what are you going to do next?"
Cabal didn't speak, and the others looked at him eagerly. Wang Xiaotian could see that everyone else wanted to complete their mission and return to their hometown as soon as possible. And Cabal seems to have that idea in his mind.
Cabal thought for a moment and said, "I think I should leave for your academy as soon as possible to complete the agreed visit. ”
Cabal's choice surprised Wang Xiaotian secretly. Although he knew that in the Canaan Federation, the status of women was very low, but as two cultivators, they should be respected, so why didn't Kabal worry about their safety?
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but be suspicious. Is it because he really doesn't care about the lives of the two women, Klimai and Emina? Although there are no signs of death in the Book of Life, not dying does not mean that they are not guilty. If two beautiful women fall into the hands of inhumane bandits, the consequences will be unimaginable.
However, Wang Xiaotian was relieved when he thought about it. If Klimai and Emina, one of whom is a member of the royal family, then the task of finding them now falls to the royal guard. Kabal: They couldn't get in if they wanted to. Instead of waiting here, it is better to visit Seremban Academy first.
Hua Ziyu said: "We are very welcome to visit you. However, what about the two ladies Krimai and Emina? We have an ancient saying in the Eastern Chu Kingdom that 'human life is a matter of heaven', should we wait until we find their whereabouts before leaving for our academy?"
Cabal thought for a moment and said, "That's what Professor Hua said. However, the first question for us at the moment is how to leave Dushant. ”
Cabal was about to continue, when he suddenly heard someone banging on the door outside, and there was a call for the door: "Open the door, open the door quickly." What the hell are you messing with in there?"
Wang Xiaotian and the others heard the movement and looked at Mahathir in surprise. They didn't know who was outside.
Mahathir immediately explained: "It's the royal guards who stayed here. They come to us three times a day, morning, noon and evening. ”
Wang Xiaotian was very strange and asked, "What are they here to check?"
Mahathir said without thinking: "Are they afraid that we will go to the tipper?"
Wang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, "Who is the ventilation report to?"
Mahathir suddenly closed his mouth and glanced at Kabal.
Cabal immediately changed the subject and said, "We have to leave, otherwise it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings." With that, he stepped out.
Wang Xiaotian immediately realized that there must be something wrong with Kabal! He glanced at Xia Xianlong. Then, the three of them followed Kabal and went over the wall.
After the four left, Mahathir trotted all the way to open the door. Outside the door stood four royal guards dressed in black embroidered gold-trimmed robes.
One of the guards at the head shouted angrily: "Why is it so slow, are you deaf?"
