Cabin for two with Maid of Mond

Qin's appearance is as impeccable as ever...

...except for the unconcealable fatigue in her smile.

Granu on the side was not in a hurry to speak, but looked at Toth with worry and eager anticipation.

Qin gave a short sigh and continued to speak.

"Abedo is missing."

Three Volumes Chapter 16 Disappeared Chalk and Spring Shirt

The chief alchemist of the Zephyr Knights, the mentor of the sugar, and the rumored genius boy.

Son of Chalk o Abedo.

Thoth had long been looking forward to meeting this man in order to learn more about alchemy, but so far he still has a chance.In the hut dinner that all friends were invited to participate in earlier, Sato also regretted that the tutor was not present.

Although Toth was not a member of the Knights, he already knew the general reason why Abedo left the city.

Abedo used the incongruity of the energy of the earth's veins as a clue to find the enemy hidden in the land of Mond.

This matter itself is not special, not only Abedo is doing it, but also many other magisters and alchemists belonging to the Knights and Adventurers Association are also doing it, but they may not go out of the city in person.

Recently, more than half of the commissions received by Fischer and other adventurers are related to the survey missions of the leylines.Although the mission objectives are different, during this period, all actions to collect data on the operation of the leylines can be used as a reference for searching for enemy tracks.

Of course, as the chief alchemist, Abedo personally dispatched, the importance is still higher, and he will be expected to find the crux of all problems.

Abedo left Mond City, and he didn't go into the wild to cut off the news.In fact, for most of the previous days, he used various outposts of the knight orders as temporary footholds, moved around, and traveled around most of Mond.

And the last place he stayed was...

"... southeast, Dadaupa Valley."

Toth pondered, and a picture emerged in his heart.

On the evening of the day when I just returned from Benlangling, I quietly came to the hut, and that blond-haired and white-clothed figure...

—Go to the Dadaupa Valley, there may be something of interest to you.

Thoth certainly did not forget the words of the mysterious [Your Highness] girl.

But Thoth has not traveled to the Dadaupa Valley so far.

Part of the reason is because of [His Royal Highness] the girl's position. Although she came to say that they are not enemies, it is good to listen to such words, after all, the other party has not shown more trustworthy sincerity.

Even when Thoth directly mentioned Twalin at the time, and was ignored by the other party and forced to advance the topic, it was tantamount to tacitly acquiescing that Twalin's madness had something to do with them.Originally, Thoth also believed what Wendy said, but the reaction of the [His Royal Highness] girl further proved it.

With Twalin, the biggest key, stuck, the girl and the Abyss Cult behind her could never be regarded as "not enemies".

However, it can still be understood as "each other is not the highest priority enemy".

[His Royal Highness] The fact that the girl cannot be completely trusted is part of the reason why Toth is not in a hurry to go to Dadaupa Valley, but it does not mean that Toth deliberately avoided it.

If Todt had nothing else to do and no clue, he would have made a trip southeast.

So the main reason is actually very simple, Thoth has to do his own thing first.The operation content of the hut, which is mainly based on the research of magic instruments, has a much higher priority than the operation of a puzzle from the enemy.

Moreover, it is not that Toth has never paid attention to the news from the southeast.

It has been a while since Abedo went to Dadaupa Valley, and he has been sending various information back to the city through the nearby Knights outpost.

Since the Knights are not completely out of sight in the southeast of Mond, Toth also does not see any need to go there for the time being, so he just keeps this matter in mind and prioritizes his own research.

Didn't get the news until today.

Abedo disappeared in the Dadaupa Valley.

Qin said solemnly: "Abedo is not only an alchemist, but also has good swordsmanship attainments, combined with his God's Eye power. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is also the most powerful force in Mond today. one.

"Therefore, Abedo has been active outside for a long time. Although the alchemists in the city have lost their backbone and have some troubles in some research experiments, our Knights have always been less worried about Abedo.

"When Abedo appeared at the outer outpost, it was not so much that he was protected by the knights of the outpost, but rather that he became a strong backup for that outpost."

Hearing this, Toth let out a long breath.

"Such a strong person has disappeared outside, and..."

Toth turned his gaze to the side, looking at the ice-blue haired boy who was sitting upright.

Toth said: "... Abedo is not the only one who is missing."

The Liyue youth named Chongyun nodded in response: "A friend of mine is also the holder of the Eye of God, and also a knight with unique swordsmanship. He accompanied Mr. Chalk, and The other two scholars, ladies, left the camp together...there has been no news since then."

Qin added from the side: "The second young master Xingqiu of Liyue Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, a young ranger, I have also heard a little bit about him, he is an excellent swordsman with a sense of justice."

Toth folded his arms and nodded.

Qin's statement is rather vague, which shows that Xingqiu has not yet reached the point where his neighbors are famous.But Qin would not interfere with Toth's judgment with unnecessary information at this time, so the second young master should at least not be weak.

Let's assume that Xingqiu is Bennett or Lei Ze, and his age seems to be roughly in this range.

If Abedo is assumed to be Qin...

With two God's Eye holders of this level working together, even if they crashed directly into a medium-sized or even larger Qiuqiu camp, they might pass through it all the way.

but……

Toth asked: "They still have other scholars with no combat effectiveness, right? Will..."

Qin said: "The need to protect others will inevitably have an impact. However, although Abedo has occasional unexpected behaviors in alchemy research, he still has a calm and steady personality on the whole, and he should not rashly advance."

Chongyun also said: "Xing Qiu is the same. Although he can't be said to be a serious person, he has his own rules in dealing with advances and retreats... In this respect, he is actually somewhat similar to Mr. Baicha, but Mr. Baicha Usually much calmer."

Todd nodded in understanding.

Such people, if there are only two people acting, may be in danger because they are too close.But if you bring other people who need protection, you should give priority to the safety of the entire team.

However, there are always surprises.

The question is what kind of surprise.

The Qiuqiu settlement in Dadaupa Valley is not just a "large tribe".

Before the evil spirit of foreign law, the double-headed strange flower, and before the wind dragon...

If there is any force in the territory of Mengde, it may collide with the power of the whole city of Mengde, and the only ones that can cause heavy casualties in the city of Mengde are the three major tribes of the Qiuqiu people in the Dadaupa Valley.

However, such a super bomb did not pose any additional threat during the monster turmoil caused by the double-headed monster flower a while ago.

In a sense, it may have shared a small part of the pressure of Mond City.

At that time, the three major tribes of Dadaupa Valley fought with crazy elemental monsters... even other Qiuqiu people fought with each other.

Volume 17 Chapter [-] Preparing for the Temple of the Four Winds

During the period when storms and monster turmoil cut off the communication between various places, it was difficult for the Zephyr Knights to maintain routine inspections, and the information on the Dadaupa Valley was also interrupted for a while.

The battle that took place in the Dadaupa Valley was also information brought back from a distance by the few humans who survived after the turmoil ceased.

Now the frequency of Qiuqiu people's outdoor activities has been greatly reduced, not only after the two-headed monster flower battle, but also before the two-headed monster flower is about to show up.

On the day when the monsters attacked the city, almost all monsters with mutant elements appeared, with only negligible sporadic Qiuqiu people appearing.

But even further back in time, the Chuchus were still the main threat to knights and adventurers.

Toth killed and expelled many people when he was diligently accepting missions, and Noelle also dealt with a large number of Qiuqiu people when he stayed in the sentry camp.

Moreover, in the first battle of Thoth's coming to this world, when he met Noelle, he was also against a large thug-level Chuchu.

Later, Toth heard that the group of Qiuqiu people was an "unexpected" migratory tribe, crashing into what they thought was a safe road, and it was the first time that Noelle faced a life-and-death bloody battle.

At that time, the Knights were still worried about whether the Dadaupa Valley took advantage of the chaos to launch a large-scale invasion.

Looking back on all of this, it is easy to understand that the Qiuqiu people around Mond City are fighting less and less, and there are almost no casualties.

After all, the Qiuqiu people are a species of flesh and blood, not elemental monsters that will keep popping up by themselves.

The usual way of fighting between adventurers and knights is to destroy elemental monsters if they can beat them.But for the Qiuqiu people, there are more changes, mainly to drive them away, and it depends on the situation to see if they want to kill them all.

Qiuqiu people are afraid and will run away.

Although slimes will also retreat in battle, it mainly appears on large ice and rock slimes.When their own elemental armor is shattered, they will temporarily take a defensive position, and wait for the armor to condense before continuing to pounce. This is purely a natural tactic.

The actions of elemental monsters, even if they seem to retreat, will not show the emotion of "fear".It's not just because they don't have human form, but because they really don't want to run away in order to survive.

The same is true for the recently added Skeleton Warriors.

The people of Tivat regard Chuchu people as monsters, but they are different from elemental monsters after all.

When the turmoil subsided and Mond had the strength to pull his hand out and look out, the situation in the Dadaupa Valley was naturally intriguing.

It is said that they are allied with the evil spirits of the foreign law. During the turmoil, they also had a lot of fun with the elemental monsters and other Qiuqiu people, and they did not show any intention of fighting against the storm against Mond City.

It is said that they are hostile to the evil spirits of the foreign law... We, the chief alchemist, worked hard, circled the chaotic leylines around the whole territory, and finally pointed to the Dadaupa Valley.

Regarding the answer to this mystery, if there is anyone who is closest to the truth, it is probably the missing Abedo.

Thinking about the situation, Toth looked at the three people sitting across the table.

Previously, Qin and Chongyun explained the situation separately, while Granose kept silent, but the worried eyes under the glasses could not be hidden or hidden.

It is estimated that she did not have any reason to follow to the hut, it was purely because she was really worried and followed to understand the situation.

Toth said solemnly: "It seems that I need to go to Dadaupa Valley, right?"

Qin nodded, and took the initiative to continue explaining.

"The timing is too unfortunate. We have already mobilized our manpower to attack the Temple of the Four Winds."

"The four winds guard the temple?"

Toth was taken aback for a moment, then turned his gaze to Chongyun.

Chong Yun came to his senses and asked, "Is this your combat operation? Do I need to leave the table to avoid it now?"

Qin shook her head and said, "No, this matter is already going on, and it's okay for Mr. Chongyun to hear it, but please forgive me for not explaining the details to you first."

Chongyun nodded to express his understanding. Although he was anxious about the situation on his face, he still sat quietly.

Jean continued to speak towards Thoth.

"Originally we had a plan. If the Wind Demon Dragon was close enough to Mond, the magisters in the city could try to capture the energy flow information and find out the true source of the Wind Demon Dragon's power. Of course, the premise is that the Wind Demon Dragon has been to Meng We have to repel you after Germany's trip."

"The source of power..." Toth pondered.

"Yes, according to...reliable information, the power displayed by the Wind Demon Dragon is indeed stronger than that of the Dongfeng Guardian 500 years ago, but the original additional power that blessed it has been interrupted. It stands to reason that it should become weaker, not weaker. Gotta be stronger."

The Wind Demon Dragon is stronger than it was 500 years ago. It was originally just Lisa's one-sided speculation, but now it has been confirmed.

As for who the so-called "reliable information" is, Todt, Qin, and Noelle, who is quietly waiting on the side, just need to know.

Qin continued to explain: "It's just that you know that the day when the Wind Demon Dragon really approached Mond, in that situation, even the huge energy of the Wind Demon Dragon could not become the most conspicuous main axis, so the planned anti-tracking plan has not been able to. effective implementation.

"It wasn't until a while ago...we received an anonymous message reminding us to investigate the deserted temples of the Four Winds, and we discovered that those temples had long been occupied by monsters, and that they continued to emit magical energy in a form different from the normal energy of the earth's veins. send."

Toth thought.

— Anonymous message...

——This kind of statement should be different from the "reliable information" that we have a tacit understanding with each other, and it is really anonymous.

——As for the monsters... since it is related to the Wind Demon Dragon...

"Is it occupied by the Abyss Cult?"

asked Todt, but Jyn shook her head.

"Maybe it used to be...but it's not anymore. The temple is full of skeleton warriors, as well as mutant elemental monsters like when the double-headed monster flower appeared, and a small amount... quite weird Qiuqiu people."

Toth frowned.

It is not uncommon for the Abyssal Sect to control elemental monsters and Qiuqiu people, but even the mutated elemental monsters that have not appeared for a while have appeared, plus the skeleton warriors, and the so-called weird Qiuqiu people...

"...Foreign law evil spirits."

As Toth said, Noelle pursed his lips slightly, and Qin nodded solemnly.

"Although the monster power in the temple is far from the scale of the original siege, it is still no small matter. We believe that it is inappropriate to rely solely on knight troops to advance, or conversely only rely on a small number of elites to attack.

"So we once again cooperated with the Adventurers Association. In addition to the combat power of our knights, we also called for reinforcements from powerful adventurers. The knights have already taken their positions outside the temples, and the adventurers are scheduled to arrive today, and we will do it later. Offensive arrangements."

At this time, Noelle, who had been waiting quietly, added an explanation to Toth.

"Fischer and Bennett are also going to cooperate with this operation today."
