The meat of the roasted mountain rat is tender, and even with just some salt, it is sweet and delicious. Normally, Chabolai would definitely devour it.
But at this time, he had something on his mind, and he didn't know what to eat.
"I didn't expect that Yuehui Town would hide such a big thing!"
"Even Baron Ferling is involved!"
"Rosen, this is a serious matter. We have to go back to Silver Moon Castle immediately and tell our aunt about it!"
Rosen was eating with gusto. When he heard this, he asked without raising his head: "Where is the evidence? A miner can do a lot."
Xia Bolay was startled, then took a mouthful of mountain rat meat, chewed it a few times, and said: "You are right, we must find the wizard! It is best to capture him and send him to Silver Moon Castle."
"If Baron Ferling is really involved, he will not sit back and watch."
Chabolai slapped his thigh and sneered.
"Hmph! How dare he stop me?! Do you really think that the demon-slaying knife in my hand is just a decoration? Do you really think that my battle legion of Silver Moon Castle is a joke?"
Rosen smiled lightly and said: "Uncle, you also heard that almost the entire town has drunk the aliens' psychedelic potion."
Xia Bolay was startled: "So what?"
"There is only one step between psychedelic mind and mind control. Do you think alien wizards would be so kind as to only psychedelize but not control?"
"."
Chabolai was greatly shaken, and dense cold sweat broke out on his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If this is the case, then things are really troublesome.
As a baron, Felin himself is a peak mid-level warrior, and he has more than 300 baron guards under his command, plus a mysterious wizard.
Once what happened today is exposed, they will most likely go back to the old path of being a special envoy.
"Rosen, what do you think we should do?"
Rosen had finished eating the mountain rat meat, drank some more water, and after burping with satisfaction, he stood up, patted his butt, and kicked out the bonfire in front of him.
"Let's go, it's almost time. Let's find the wizard quietly first."
Xia Bolai was startled: "How to find it in the deep mountains and old forests? Also, didn't you say there are traces around the camp? Why don't we follow the traces first?"
Rosen smiled and said: "The camp has been cleaned up very clean, there are no traces? I just told Holm."
Chabolai was even more confused: "Huh?"
Rosen turned around and walked in the direction Holm left, explaining as he walked.
"Holm is just a poor miner. What do you think he will do after getting such a large sum of money?"
Chabolai hurriedly took a few steps to catch up with Rosen.
"If it were me, I would first find a place to hide the money, then secretly take it to a big city and slowly convert it into small amounts."
"People with a normal mind will naturally do this, but what if it is a person who has experienced a thousand times the pleasure of his mother-in-law?"
"A thousand times~~~"
Chabollet could not imagine what kind of happiness this was, but he could not bear to be twice as happy. He did not believe that anyone could resist the temptation of a thousand times happiness.
"He must be eager to buy the potion from the wizard!"
Rosen smiled slightly: "Then let's follow all the way and find the wizard, right?"
What's even better is that most of the forest floor is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, which can easily leave footprints that can be followed.
Chabolai was overjoyed, but then he felt something was wrong: "But didn't Holm say that he didn't know where the wizard lived?"
"Uncle, do you believe whatever others say?"
"Uh~ You mean he lied?"
Rosen smiled and asked: "If he didn't know, how could he know that it was a wooden building?"
Xia Bolay was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and patted Rosen on the shoulder: "Rosen, your brain is really good. No wonder my aunt took a liking to you right away!"
"The count really likes me?"
"Definitely, since I was a child, I have never had her say so many words of praise to a person. In short, if you can pass this test, she will definitely reward you greatly."
Rosen smiled faintly: "That's really my honor."
Seeing that he was so calm, Xia Bolai was a little surprised: "You don't seem very excited. Why, don't you believe what I said?"
Rosen answered while tracing Holm's footprints.
"Uncle, the things at hand are the most important. If you don't do the things in front of you, everything in the future will be an illusion."
"So, there is no need to worry too much about uncertain things, lest it delay the immediate matter."
Xia Bolay was stunned for a moment and thought about this sentence carefully. He felt that he understood it, but he felt that he did not understand it, but his mood was much calmer.
"Oh, forget it, you mages are all the same. You have a sullen face all day long, as if you have no emotions."
The direction of Holm's footprints pointed to the depths of the jungle, which confirmed Rosen's idea.
He felt happy and a smile appeared on his face.
"Who says I'm not smiling when I keep a straight face?"
"Uh~ Okay, I was wrong. You found the clue, right?"
"Yes, come with me."
The two of them walked forward along the sometimes clear and sometimes blurry traces on the fallen leaves.
After following for a while, Chapollet suddenly listened.
A few seconds later, he whispered: "Holm is not far ahead."
After chasing for a while, I saw Holm's figure as expected. He was humming folk songs as he walked and seemed to be in a good mood.
Xia Bolay looked at it strangely: "This guy has three sons dead and his mother-in-law is crazy. How can he still be so happy?"
Rosen smiled faintly: "Because his soul has been controlled by extreme pleasure."
"On the surface, there seems to be no change, but the soul has degenerated into a puppet of desire."
"Rosen, I always feel like you are talking about me."
"If uncle doesn't control himself, he will slowly fall into the abyss of desire."
Xia BoLai was shocked and fell into silence.
After that, the two of them focused on following Holm. About half an hour later, they discovered an inconspicuous U-shaped valley more than 100 meters ahead.
The valley is not big, but the sides are very high and difficult to climb. There are fresh signs of collapse at the entrance of the valley, which is tightly blocked by a pile of huge rocks.
But if you look closely, you can find an inconspicuous hole hidden under the boulder, about 2 meters wide and 2 meters high.
Standing at the entrance of the valley, Holm looked around and then got in through the entrance of the cave.
Rosen and Chapollet hid behind a big tree and observed carefully.
It can be seen that there are many footprints on the ground at the mouth of the valley, some are blurry and some are clear, with different sizes and varying shapes.
Rosen observed carefully and explained the next step to Chapollet.
"Uncle, after a while, Holm will be caught by the wizard, and the wizard will be more vigilant. We have to act quickly."
"Why arrest Home?"
"Is it normal for a miner to use gold crowns to buy potions?"
"Not normal."
"The wizard's brain must be better than that of ordinary people. Since he chose to hide deep in the mountains and forests, he must know that he cannot see the light, and he must be more vigilant."
"I guess he will soon ask Jin Kelang about his origins, and then start to increase his vigilance. Then it will be difficult to make a sneak attack."
"Then let's take action now?"
Chabolai stretched out his hand and grasped the handle of the knife tightly, with a look of excitement before the battle.
"Wait a moment."
Rosen is inferring the situation inside the valley through the traces at the mouth of the valley.
Not only do you use your own eyes to see it, but you also open the adventure log, zoom in to the closest point of view, and observe the traces around you at a close distance.
Soon, he found many details.
Footprints on the ground, feces, discarded bones, claw marks on tree bark, strange symbols, totem-like hangings, etc., and these details gradually painted the outline of the mysterious wizard.
"Uncle, this wizard is very short, not taller than me. He does not live alone. He is accompanied by a very strong bear."
"This bear is different from the common moon bear in the Huangshui Highlands. Judging from the size and depth of the footprints, it is several rounds larger than the moon bear, and may weigh more than 1,500 Mobi."
Moby is the unit of weight in this area of Silver Moon Castle. One thousand and fifteen Moby is approximately equal to three thousand kilograms of the earth.
"Ah, so heavy?!"
Xia Bolay subconsciously shrank his head, and the hand holding the handle of the knife was soaked in cold sweat.
A giant bear with such a huge body is probably a mutant. It must be thick-skinned and extremely strong. It may also have some innate spells. It is definitely a terrifying killing machine.
As if in response to Rosen's words, a deep bear howl suddenly came from the valley, and at the same time there was a scream.
Xia Bolay's eyebrows trembled when he heard it: "I have never heard such a powerful bear roar!"
Rosen was overjoyed: "It was Holm's scream. Judging from the sound, he must have been frightened. In all likelihood, it was the wizard who was asking him about the origin of the gold crown."
Since they are still asking questions, it means that the wizard does not know that they have arrived.
Thinking of this, Rosen said softly: "Uncle, there is only a wizard and a giant bear in the valley, which means that the wizard is very strong and confident. But if we fight two against one or sneak attack, we will definitely capture him."
Xia Bolay's mind was filled with the terrifying giant bear. When he heard Rosen's words, he subconsciously asked: "How to make a sneak attack?"
Rosen already had an idea in his mind, and he whispered in Chabolai's ear: "Uncle, let's do this."
Two updates today. It will be released on Friday and there will be more updates then.
