257 Tracking

Roy When I woke up, the first thing I did after opening my eyes was to run to the next room. The room was empty.

There were a few apples in the basket next to the table. In addition to the peels, there was a paring knife in the round plate. Some of Woods's personal belongings were still left in the room.

Roy scratched his hair speechlessly. It seemed that something must have happened next to Woods...

Walking to the terrace, Instructor Nora walked out of a wooden house opposite, holding a cup of warm fruit tea, and asked Roy:

"Roy, did the child come back last night?"

Roy shook his head, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Instructor Nora, I want to go to Fountain Square to inquire about it. Maybe someone has seen Woods."

Instructor Nora strode to the window of the wooden house, opened the window, and shouted to Instructor Eleanor who was sleeping inside, "Wait, I'll go with you, Elinore, hurry up Get up and give you five minutes to wash up. The child didn't come back last night. He probably got lost. Roy and I want to go look for him on Fountain Square. You should go with us."

Instructor Eleanor appeared at the window with hair as messy as a chicken coop.

"So early..."

When she saw Roy on the terrace of the tree house opposite, she immediately retracted her head, and then the sound of rushing water came from the house.

Along the way, Instructor Nora was expressionless. It was obvious that she was in a bad mood. When she arrived at Fountain Square, there were not many elves in the square.

The early morning sun shines through the leaves and falls on the edge of the fountain pool. It is surrounded by neat apple trees. There are many benches for pedestrians to rest under the apple trees. The square is paved with exquisite stone slabs, and in the center is a fountain with a group of statues.

The water in the pool is so clear that some elves even use it to drink...

Roy brought Instructor Nora and Instructor Eleanor to a bench. He and Woods were sitting on this bench the day before yesterday and waited until dark.

"Woods said that sitting here has the best view..." Roy said.

Instructor Eleanor walked behind the bench. There was a row of apple trees planted two meters away from the bench. Instructor Eleanor pressed his hand on the trunk of an apple tree, drew some magic symbols on the trunk, and ended with a brief spell.

Her pupils turned light green, as if she had lost all consciousness and could only stand in a daze under the tree.

If you look closely at her lips, you will find that her lips are trembling slightly, as if communicating with the young apple tree.

Roy had seen this scene before him when he was Malaga Jungle.

After a long time, Instructor Eleanor regained consciousness.

"How's it going? Did you find any useful information?" Instructor Nora asked impatiently.

"The child did come here yesterday. Other than that, these trees didn't leave any useful information..."

Instructor Eleanor said with some frustration.

Instructor Nora discovered that Roy was missing at this time, so she looked around. On the opposite side of the square, Roy found that Roy had actually run to a bench opposite, asking Old Elf who was sitting on the bench, and even took out a portrait.

The two chatted for a long time, and Old Elf finally shook his head, and Roy could only leave with a stern expression.

Immediately afterwards, Roy ran to a young elf running and said to him, "Excuse me..."

Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Nora are looking for clues around Fountain Square. When Roy sees Half-Elf passing by, he will go up and ask.

Woods Although he looks unremarkable, his two arms are very distinctive. They are wrapped with bandages and cannot be bent, and his walking is very unnatural.

Such an elf boy, as long as Half-Elf has seen it on Fountain Square, he will definitely be impressed...

"Roy This guy treats his friends really well!"

When Instructor Eleanor was resting, he whispered to Instructor Nora.

"He also has a close friend in the academy, the Silver Moon Elven Nobles." Instructor Nora said, obviously recognizing Roy.

Almost everyone who comes to the square here is Half-Elf.

Roy always gets a response when he comes up to strike up a conversation:

"Didn't see..."

"I haven't seen it before. Ask other elves!"

"No..."

"No..."

"..."

Roy didn't know how many Half-Elfs he had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with. When he heard the other person say, "I have an impression, that young man was sitting on the bench over there at noon yesterday. I saw that he was carrying a water bottle on his back. It seemed that his arms were too convenient, and the way he drank water was a bit funny"...

He didn't react for a moment and was ready to find the next Half-Elf.

Roy grabbed the elf's arm with both hands and said excitedly, "Did you see Woods here at noon yesterday?"

The other party nodded. "It should be the young elf you described..."

"Did you see when he left?"

Half-Elf said, "He sat on the bench for a while and then left with the two elves. He should have gone that way!"

After speaking, he pointed in a direction.

Roy quickly greeted Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Nora, and walked towards the west side of Fountain Square together.

According to the clues given by Roy, Instructor Eleanor really found some clues from a Ginkgo Tree.

She obtained an extremely blurry image on Ginkgo Tree, which was the remaining memory left by this Ginkgo Tree. Instructor Nora needed to soul-link with this Ginkgo Tree in order to obtain these intermittent images. She saw two Half-Elf sandwiching Woods in the middle, boarding a silver carriage together.

"They should not be Woods's relatives. They did not hug each other after meeting, nor did they behave very cordially..."

The soul link consumes a lot of mental energy, so Instructor Eleanor cannot be used frequently. In the end, when the carriage arrived, he also took a look at the intersection.

Instructor Eleanor chased them all the way. When he was looking for those Slave Traders, he only found them in the vast jungle with the help of Instructor Eleanor's reconnaissance skills.

After confirming that Woods was taken away by two elves, Instructor Nora immediately returned to the hotel and called out all the members of Adventure Group.

Everyone split up. Instructor Gru and Magician Scarlett went directly to the Thieves Guild to buy news. The remaining members followed Instructor Eleanor and followed the clues...

In an inconspicuous tavern, Magician Scarlett and Instructor Gru pushed the door open and walked in. All the Half-Elfs who were sitting in the tavern stared directly at Magician Scarlett.

The two walked to the bar...

The magic robe on Scarlett reveals her identity as a magician.

The bartender put down the empty glass in his hand, raised his head and asked the two of them:

"What to drink?"

Magician Scarlett pushed a stack of Kole in front of the bartender and said, "Two glasses of white wine, and we want to buy some news here."

The bartender handed two glasses of wine to Instructor Gru and Magician Scarlett, then wiped his hands with a rag, reached out and took off his apron, and walked to the back of the tavern with Magician Scarlett and Instructor Gru.

"Please come to the back to talk."

There was a small room behind the tavern, and there happened to be a young female elf sitting at the table. The light in the room was relatively dark.

The bartender sent the two of them here, then turned and left.

The female elf raised her head, smiled at Magician Scarlett and Instructor Gru, and then asked, "How can I help you?"

"We have a Half-Elf friend who disappeared yesterday afternoon. I would like to buy some clues about the missing elf here."

Instructor Gru placed several sketch portraits in front of the female elf's table. These portraits were drawn by Sabrina, and they were almost seven-quarters like Woods herself...

"We need one hundred Kole." The female elf glanced at the portrait and said casually.

Instructor Gru readily took out a pile of Kole and placed it on the square table.

"Tell me what happened? The specific location of the disappearance, and when it happened..."

Instructor Gru tells the story of Woods's disappearance.

"A young Half-Elf with broken arms is missing? Well, at this time tomorrow, we will provide you with a piece of information."

The female elf said to the two.

Instructor Gru and Magician Scarlett walked out of the tavern together, and then Instructor Gru sighed, "This is my first time dealing with the Thieves Guild. It turns out that it only costs one hundred Kole to buy a message..."

"They won't tell us everything at once, and we may need to pay another amount of money later!"

Magician Scarlett squinted his eyes, looked back at the tavern, and said calmly.

"I hope the clues on Elinore will not be cut off..."

Instructor Eleanor stood at the street intersection and carefully identified the direction in which the carriage was leaving.

Instructor Nora and Instructor Virgil were with her. This place was already a long way away from Fountain Square. Judging from the direction of the carriage, it should be heading to the suburbs of Padesto City.

Misses Roy, Sabrina and Christine stood across the street.

"I don't understand why they wanted to arrest Woods?" Ms. Christine held on to the guardrail on the street with both hands and whispered to Sabrina.

"Maybe they will transport Woods to Human World. Those slave traders often do this! Maybe they will sell it to some mine owners. Since the dwarves left Elf Continent, many mines are short of miners. It is difficult to find miners through normal recruitment..."

Sabrina explained in a low voice.

Roy stared at Instructor Eleanor across the street, a slightly familiar figure speeding past in a carriage...

Roy recognized at a glance that the person sitting in the carriage was Benjamin the Mage.

He raised his feet and chased after her.

Padesto City There are no straight roads, almost all roads are winding, and the carriage does not run very fast...

Seeing Roy chasing a carriage, Sabrina quickly followed from behind, and Miss Christine also caught up from behind, panting.

After the carriage turned a corner in front, it quickly left Roy far behind.

Roy gasped and stopped on the side of the road.

Looking at the direction in which the carriage disappeared, he looked regretful.

This is the third time he has seen Benjamin the Mage, but without exception, he has avoided them all. Thinking of this, Roy wants to kick over a big tree next to him...

When Miss Christine caught up, she couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong?"

"I met a fugitive. I saw him in Castleton City. He is a member of a group of Slave Traders. I didn't expect to see him here!"

Roy said with some reluctance:

"Let him escape right under your nose again!"

"Roy, hurry up and follow..."

Instructor Nora stood on the street not far away, waving towards this side, and Roy walked over quickly.

Under the leadership of Instructor Eleanor, a group of Adventure Group followed a road, passed through several streets and several jungle tree houses, and unexpectedly walked out of Padesto City. There was an orchard in front of them.

When you come here, your horizons become wider.

Instructor Eleanor took everyone around an orchard in front of them, and a wooden house with an attic appeared in a woodland...

This wooden house is located next to an unknown river. The yard is surrounded by low sunflowers. Today, these wooden houses are surrounded by a low fence.

Instructor Eleanor was lying on a slope a few hundred meters away and whispered to everyone, "The carriage drove into the house in front and probably never came out again. When it gets darker, I can sneak in and check."

While he was talking, a carriage happened to drive out of the yard.

"Should we stop this carriage?" Instructor Virgil asked from behind.

"No need, there are no elves in the carriage..." Nora waved his hand.

Finally, when it got dark, Instructor Eleanor blended himself into the shadows and walked towards the wooden house by the river.

The house was beautifully built and the yard was kept clean. Instructor Eleanor walked into the yard leaning against the wall...

Benjamin the Mage Sitting in the carriage, he still felt lingering fear.

When he passed a street corner in a carriage, he actually saw Roy again. This guy was like a lingering ghost, and he could meet him no matter where he hid.

Fortunately, he discovered it in time, urged the driver to go faster, and left the young man Novice Priest far away.

He took a carriage to the suburbs because he wanted to return to the Elf Continent with the group of Slave Traders in Padesto City.

After a period of accumulation, these Slave Traders have captured many slaves. If they want to get rid of these slaves as soon as possible, they must transport them to the Elf Continent.

It is not easy to safely pass Teleportation Portal from Pattington Plane.

There are a lot of relationships that need to be established here, and the Teleportation Portal guard must be one of our own...

The hiding place of this group of Slave Traders was built in an orchard in the suburbs. Watching the sky gradually darken, Benjamin the Mage urged the driver to go faster.

The carriage drove all the way into the yard of the wooden house by the river. Benjamin the Mage opened the door and stepped out of the carriage.

Several Half-Elf came out of the wooden house. One of them, Half-Elf, asked Benjamin the Mage: "Benjamin, are you going back to the Elf Continent with us tomorrow?"
