Maishi Village Compared with other gathering places, it has a little more tranquility and is cleaner than towns, but not much better.
Following the village chief, we came to the cleanest house in the village, a few houses made of wood and one Stable.
Before the two of them could settle down, children and adults gathered around the house. Most of them looked at the majestic Red Phosphorus Horse and Azure Purple Horse curiously and chatted in low voices.
"Lord, since entering the territory of the Draesir Family, the scene has been in a dilapidated state. It seems that it is difficult to collect information."
In the wooden house, Kyle was making tea while Black Tea Leaves was telling the story.
"It's really difficult to collect information. I even doubt that people in the Draesir Family still remember the name Devonshire."
Velin frowned, not having much hope of finding out about Devonshire's identity.
"Lord, how about I call the village chief over and tap on his side. Seeing as he has lived for so long, I should know some clues." Kyle thought for a while and said to Velin.
"Okay, it would be best if we could get some relevant news, but that's really not possible, we can only..."
At this point, Velin's eyes became sharp. He really couldn't do it. He didn't mind the method of kidnapping, as long as it was done secretly, no one would know.
Not long after, Kyle invited the village chief Maishi Village to the wooden house.
The old village chief glanced at the exquisite Knight Sword placed on the wooden table and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look any further.
"Old village chief, do you have a name?"
Listening to the gentle voice, the old village chief calmed down and replied respectfully, "To my lord, my name is Tom. Just call me Old Tom."
"Old Tom, my entourage and I are traveling and accidentally arrived here. Do you know what strange things or secret stories there are here?" Velin took out a Gold Coin and rotated it on his fingertips, keeping his eyes on the old village.
"My old eyesight is dim and my memory is bad. I can't remember these scriptures clearly." Old Tom always lowered his head and replied respectfully.
"Click"
The crisp and sharp sound made Old Tom's spirit tense up instantly.
"Quite alert."
"The adults are joking. This young man has served in Lord's army for twenty years. This is just muscle memory." Old Tom grinned widely, with yellow teeth exuding an unpleasant smell.
Velin asked Yu without changing his face, "Looking at your age, you are at least seventy years old. You served in the army at the age of twenty and retired from the army at the age of forty. Thirty years have passed in between. I am surprised that you are still so alert."
The next moment, a force of pressure pressed Old Tom to the ground.
Originally he didn't want to use such means, but this old guy didn't tell the truth.
"Tell me about it, I'm interested in your story."
The next moment, Old Tom felt that the heavy pressure had slowed down a lot, and he barely supported his body with his limbs and knelt on the ground.
"Sir, I have a humble status and limited knowledge. I can't answer your question at all." Old Tom spoke in a very humble tone and lowered his head in reply.
Judging from his many years of military experience, it was not difficult for the two of them to raze Maishi Village to the ground. They could only pray in a low voice that the other party would lose interest and let him go.
"I'm curious about what happened thirty years ago." Velin stared at Old Tom and spoke word by word.
Unfortunately, I didn't see any extra expression on the other person's face. I don't know if he really didn't know or if he was just pretending.
"I don't know what my lord said, I don't know. Please forgive me, lord."
The cabin instantly became quiet. After an unknown amount of time, Velin said impatiently, "Forget it, you can go out."
"Yes, sir."
Old Tom dragged his dying body out of the wooden house and limped out of the house.
"Did you see anything?" Velin looked at Kyle and asked.
"Kind of like a dead warrior."
"No, he is just a dead soldier, guarding some secret." Velin came to the wooden door, looked at Old Tom leaving, and said in a deep voice, "I just wanted to find out the news, but I didn't expect to break into something unexpectedly."
"Lord, what should we do next?" Kyle stepped forward and asked in a low voice, the murderous look in his eyes undisguised.
"Go to the village and inquire to see if this Old Tom has any descendants." Velin turned his head and whispered in Kyle's ear, "Remember, whether there is any blood relationship."
"I understand."
Kyle took Knight Sword and a money bag, and swaggered out of the wooden house and headed to the village.
"I'm curious, what is the secret ton that this dead soldier has guarded for thirty years?"
Velin was just curious about the secret that Old Tom was guarding. He had a hunch that it was definitely related to Dexhil.
After all, there is a connection between Old Tom, who left the military camp thirty years ago, and Dexhil, who gave up his family name at the same time thirty years ago. It still needs to be explored.
In the evening, Kyle returned to the wooden house from Maishi Village and reported to Velin.
"Lord, Maishi Village, Old Tom, had three sons and two daughters. One son and one daughter died in infancy. Currently, there are two sons and one daughter who are still alive. They are not very old."
"The eldest is only twenty-eight years old and has been sent to the army."
"The youngest son is the strong man of the village Guard Captain and the leader of Maishi Village."
"The only daughter is twenty years old, but she is not married yet, which is a bit abnormal."
"When did those two children who died in infancy die? If they survived, how old are they now?" Velin asked.
Kyle thought about it for a while and then replied, "The ones who died were the second son and the eldest daughter. I heard that they fell into the river and disappeared when they were two years old. Their bodies were not found."
"If still alive, the eldest daughter should be thirty years old and the second son should be twenty-five years old."
"No body?" Velin stared at Kyle and said.
"Yes." Kyle nodded and said, "There is another news that I don't know whether it is true or not. I heard that thirty years ago, Maishi Village's midwife delivered Old Tom's eldest daughter, and left Maishi Village with her whole family the next day."
"It seems that the key is the eldest daughter without a body."
For a moment, Velin had a bold guess in his mind, that it was civil strife.
However, it is still too early to make a decision.
"Tomorrow morning, we will leave here and rush to Kandela, the central city of the Draesir Family. Things are getting more and more interesting."
"Yes."
Late at night, a Red-headed Crow flew out from the edge of Maishi Village and headed towards the mountain to the north.
Old Tom glanced at the night sky with nostalgia, then returned home with his hunched body.
Early the next morning, when Velin and Velin were leaving, they suddenly heard that Old Tom had passed away last night. A group of villagers rushed to the village chief's house to prepare to bid farewell to the old village chief.
Regarding the death of Old Tom, Velin had no unnecessary emotions and took Kyle away to Kandela.
