"I think Weber should have considered this before coming here."

Of course, if this is the only case, it should not cause a loss of contact.

Liangyi always felt that there was something he had overlooked, or that Weber had really discovered something on the island.

120: Qingzi: business matters

"Oh, this situation is actually similar to the so-called 'faith'?"

Melvin tapped his palm lightly with a sudden realization, and instantly felt that his thoughts had opened up.

"It's really a pity that person can think of this... According to this statement, the island itself is equivalent to a huge 'cemetery', plus the number of tourists here and the island's souls Pulse, indeed, can collect quite high-quality magic power of the dead.

"However, if this is the case, shouldn't the magic power of the dead be collected soon? I remember I told you that Weber, like us, left London almost three days ago, right?"

Su Bai's fingers lightly supported his chin, Qingzi couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Hmm. So it is very likely that Weber encountered something or discovered something, so he stayed on the island for so long, and then lost contact."

Liangyi nodded and looked at the white-haired boy sitting on the edge of the bed.

"That magic prop, can you locate the place where Weber last lost contact, Melvin?"

"Ah, of course there is no problem with this. But at present, the location should be in the valley... Let's start tomorrow."

Melvin input his magic power into the compass-shaped magic prop in his hand, checked it, and said so.

As for the other party's proposal, Liangyi Cou and Qingzi did not object either.

Although they all have lighting means, it is still not safe for the three of them to run alone into the valley deep in the island at night.

"Don't worry, Cou. Weber will be fine. After all, no matter how desperate the situation is, that person will complain and think about how to deal with it."

As if seeing the boy's worry, Melvin smiled and comforted him.

Liangyi nodded and said nothing.Because in terms of understanding of Weber, he is indeed not as good as Melvin.

Ever since, after the three of them agreed on a general strategy, the sun finally sank below the horizon.

And the night was quietly spent in this slightly worrying atmosphere, and the next day came in the blink of an eye.

......

The "sky" is white.

The thick thick fog completely covered the sky and enveloped the entire island, as if it was isolated from the outside world.

For this reason, even in the early hours of the morning, the island is somewhat under-lit, with a sense of gloom, as if twilight was approaching.

Starting from the small town of Portree, Liangyi Mino and the others headed north all the way to the famous scenic spot on the island, the foot of Mount Storr.

Perhaps due to the bad weather today, the three of them did not meet any tourists along the way.

Along the slightly steep mountain road approaching the top of the mountain, after a while, the iconic peak pillar appeared in front of the three of them.

Because of the erosion of rain and snow, the peak pillar seems to be piled up by a pile of strange rocks, with a sense of peeling off as time goes by, but even so, it stands proudly on the top of the mountain, like a guide lighthouse.

But Liangyi Cou and the others did not come to enjoy the scenery, even though they would stand on the top of the mountain, and if they looked around, they would be able to have a panoramic view of the whole island, enjoying the hazy dreamy beauty as if they were in a sea of ​​fog .

But the three of them were not that interested. They were looking for the trace of Weber on the top of this mountain commonly known as "Old Man Peak" based on the magic props provided by Melvin.

"Well, it should be around here, ahem..."

Melvin looked at the area in front of the sunken area full of strange rocks, took out his handkerchief with a natural expression, covered his mouth, and coughed violently.

And looking at the red handkerchief in his hand, although Qingzi knew the opponent's physique tens of minutes ago, he still couldn't adapt.

"Is this the place where Weber lost contact for the last time?"

Liangyi stepped forward and glanced at the nearly vertical mountain road, and could see that this place should not be visited by anyone.

Because the location of this area is actually somewhat suggestive, ordinary tourists may not even notice that there is such a place under the hillside behind the peak pillar.

"There are still some footprints left here, which should be left by Weber."

After observing the footprints on the ramp below, Liang Yicou had a rough guess in his mind.

And Qingzi also walked to the front at this time, looked at the terrain and said.

"Then let me take the lead."

After the words fell, the girl stabilized the center of gravity of her body and came to the bottom nimbly. After finding that there was nothing abnormal in this "low valley", she also looked up at the two people above, indicating that they can come down.

"Melvin, in fact, I can go with Qingzi..."

Considering the other party's physical problems, Liangyi Cou frowned with a little worry on his face.

"It's okay, it's not the first time you know about my physique, Minato. And if I don't take this kind of thing with me, I will regret it and want to die."

The white-haired boy showed a rather bright smile, but three seconds later, he coughed violently again, but his attitude remained unchanged.

"Okay, I see. Then hold on to me later, Melvin."

After estimating the height difference between where he was standing and the height below, under Melvin's slightly suspicious eyes, Liangyi hugged each other sideways and jumped down directly. The buffer of the technique fell steadily on the ground.

"It's really a vigorous skill, it's almost ten meters... Anyway, thank you, come on."

Melvin sighed, with an enthusiasm for adventure on his face, as if he had completely forgotten that they came to this place to find people.

After Qingzi saw this scene, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and suddenly regretted that he came down too early.

No, no, business matters, business matters...

Dispelling the flashing thoughts in his mind, Qingzi looked at Melvin and said.

"The orientation ends here? Can't you be more specific, Melvin?"

Listening to Qingzi's voice that seemed a little irritable for some reason, Melvin felt a little weird, but he didn't care.

"Sorry, this prop can only do so much. But I think there is a high probability that Weber ran into it."

Following the line of sight of the other party, Liangyi saw the narrow passage not far ahead, which seemed to be sandwiched between two mountain walls.

The light in the passage is dim, making it impossible to tell where it is connected to.

But since they have already come here, it is impossible for the three of them to return here.

Going forward along the "gap" like passage, I don't know if it's an illusion, Liangyi Mino and others have a feeling that they are going down, or walking towards the deep interior of this mountain.

And about ten minutes later, this oppressive passage finally came to an end, and at the same time, the space in front of it instantly opened up.

It seems to be a natural cave, or a part of the interior of the mountain has been hollowed out.

Liangyi Cou and others turned on the lighting equipment they were carrying, and soon saw a fairly new travel backpack in the deepest part of this "karst cave", and a stone door behind the backpack that seemed to be embedded in the mountain. .

121: Trials for posterity

"Oh, this is Webber's backpack! But why isn't he here?"

Melvin recognized the travel backpack at a glance, and after a short period of joy, obvious confusion appeared on his face.

"Since the backpack is here, it means that this should be the place where he contacted you last. It's just that..."

Qingzi took a flashlight to take a picture of this "karst cave" which wasn't too big, and at a glance, he didn't find any figure, as if there was only a backpack left here.

Could it be that he was attacked by others?However, there are no traces of battle here...

With such confusion, Qingzi subconsciously looked at the stone gate in the "karst cave" that had the strongest sense of presence besides the backpack, and at this time Liangyi Cou also walked to the stone gate with a flashlight.

The length and width of the stone gate are somewhat exaggerated, and one needs to raise one's head to look up to barely see the top.It is unknown whether the two sides of the stone gate were naturally grown or carved, leaving some raised stone clusters, which gave the heavy stone gate a slightly sinister taste.

Liang Yicouu reached out and touched the middle of the stone door, and found that although there was a gap in the door, it could not be opened at all.

Since there is no passage behind this, where did Weber "disappear"?

"Come on, did you find any clues?"

After searching the "cave" separately with Melvin, Qingzi came to the boy and asked softly.

And Liangyi took a look at the door panel of the stone door, there was a trace that seemed to have been wiped not long ago, and released a cleaning magic on that small area.

Soon, some fuzzy patterns were faintly revealed under the light of the flashlight.

"Is this... text?"

I always felt that the patterns on the stone gate gave people a sense of familiarity, Qingzi frowned as if recalling, and after hearing this sentence, Melvin also hurried forward and looked at it curiously.

"It should be runes, and a part of ancient Gaelic."

Liangyi Cou stretched out his hand to lightly touch the pattern on the stone gate, said with a slight frown, and began to interpret it attentively.

"The meaning should be..."

Straight traces of magic power flowed out from his fingertips without the boy noticing.

As the finger went all the way down, touching the remaining lines of each character, Liang Yicoug whispered softly, also in ancient Gaelic.

"—[Trial for the Hereafter]."

- pat.

The flashlight fell to the ground without warning, and went out after a few flashes.

Qingzi stared blankly at the air in front of him, and subconsciously said.

"Come together?"

However, in the "karst cave", only the girl's confused voice echoed faintly.

And the boy who was standing in front of her just now disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Really, what the hell is going on..."

Melvin looked in disbelief at the situation where only he and Qingzi were left, and looked around, but no matter what, he didn't find the boy.

It seems that the boy, like the owner of the backpack placed by the stone gate, disappeared due to a mysterious force.

Is it some kind of space shifting magic?No, if it reaches that level, it should almost be considered magic, right?

Moreover, why didn't even a little magical breath appear...

The excitement of the adventure in his heart gradually faded, and Melvin showed a rare serious expression, frowning and thinking.

However, right away, he sensed a continuous gathering of magical power, as if it was about to erupt at any time, and he couldn't help but raise his head.
