"Is it a disappearance incident?" Andy said: "It is said that many people in the army trained by the Maples family suddenly disappeared for no reason. Grandpa was invited here because of this incident."
As soon as these words came out, Fanny suddenly trembled, and her little face instantly turned pale.
"There are mysterious disappearances among the troops trained by the Maples family?"
Geer's expression also changed suddenly, obviously like Fanny, he thought of something.
"Could it be..."
Liz covered her mouth.
Li Ge's eyes also became darker and he fell into silence.
"You, what's wrong with you?"
The strange reaction of Li Ge and his entourage made Andy, who had just casually commented, bewildered.
"Your Excellency Brighaut?"
Nibald also looked at Rige in surprise.
"...It's okay." Li Ge did not explain immediately, but glanced at Fanny, who was pale, and then asked Nibald: "Can you please tell us about this disappearance?"
Incident?"
Hearing this, Nibald looked at Lige intently for a while, then nodded and explained.
It turns out that this was something that had already appeared a long time ago.
According to Nibald, many years ago, disappearances occurred from time to time in the Mapros Territory.
The first people who disappeared were some civilians who often went out on business. Some of them were hunters, and some were farmers working outside. They went out one day and never came back, and there was no news from them since.
Then came some caravans, who suddenly disappeared while on their way to trade. No one among the dozens of people in the entire caravan was spared, and no one could be found again.
Originally, these disappearances did not attract the attention of the local nobles, and even the Maples family did not pay much attention to this matter.
Because this is the Maples Territory, the most chaotic area in the Kingdom of Jinas, where thieves are rampant and there are many monsters. It is normal for someone to encounter accidents when they go out.
But after that, these disappearances became more and more intense, and their scale grew larger and larger, until large caravans with hundreds of people dispatched together, and even large-scale knight groups that escorted some noble children passing through, mysteriously disappeared one after another.
The nobles headed by the Maples family finally realized the seriousness of the matter and began to investigate.
However, not only did their investigation end in vain, they even failed to control the situation, allowing the disappearances to intensify and expand, and eventually spread to the troops trained by the Maples family.
This is just a hornet's nest.
You must know that the army trained by the Mapros family is a valuable source of soldiers recruited from all over the kingdom every three years, and it even includes the descendants of the major noble families.
As these people disappeared one after another, the major noble families who sensed the abnormality began to ask for people from the Maples family, so that the Maples family gradually came under tremendous pressure.
Even if the Maples family is a Marquis family, and the current head is also the Sword Master of Zhenguan, sooner or later he will be unable to handle such a big matter.
As a result, the investigation into the incident reached a dead end, and the Maples family, which had not even made any progress, began to seek foreign help.
"They suspect that there is an unknown magical phenomenon involved in this mysterious disappearance, otherwise they, as lords, would not be able to find any clues." Nibald said: "And I still have a bit of a reputation in the magic world.
, and I have some friendship with Lord Maples, so some time ago, Lord Maples personally wrote me a letter, inviting me to come over and help with the investigation."
This is the reason why Nibald came to Mapros Territory and prepared to go to Mapros' house.
"Finn..."
After hearing Nibald's explanation, Fanny's delicate body began to shake, and she even shed tears.
"Miss!"
Geer was shocked and quickly supported Fanny.
"What happened to her?"
Andy couldn't help but asked aloud.
The person who answered this question was not Fanny, Geer, or Li Ge, but Liz.
"Miss Fannie's brother was sent to the Maples family for training, and he suddenly lost contact with him three months ago."
Liz explained in a low voice, making Andy shut her mouth.
"As expected." Nibold seemed to have already guessed. After hearing Liz's explanation, he immediately comforted him and said: "Miss Alicia, don't be too sad, although there are indeed many strange things about this disappearance.
place, but so far there has been no news of missing persons being injured. Your brother may be fine."
"Really, really?" Fanny said with tears in her eyes, "Then where is Finn now?"
"This..." Nibald smiled bitterly, unable to speak.
He hasn't even arrived at the Maples house yet and started investigating. How can he tell Fanny the answer?
Fanny seemed to realize that she had asked a stupid question and stopped talking, but her tears could not stop flowing.
"Isn't there anyone who informed us about this matter and asked the royal capital to send someone over to investigate?"
Li Ge frowned and asked.
"Why not?" Nibald said: "I heard that the king had sent several court magicians to investigate, and also sent a detachment from the Kingdom's Knights to assist, but nothing was found."
It's no wonder that the sword master of the Mapros family turned to Nibald for help.
Seeing that Lige was lost in thought again, Nibald spoke again.
"My grandson and I left the city this time just to go to the Mapoulos' house in Besare to start investigating the matter. Unexpectedly, we met Lord Brighaut here."
Hearing these words, before Li Ge could react, Fanny leaned forward first.
"Please, please let me come with you!"
It was rare for Fanny to make such a request loudly.
"Please don't be impulsive, Miss." Geer quickly pressed Fanny's shoulders and said, "We just contacted the master. The master said that we should wait for him here in Kaludi, and he will send someone over immediately.
Pick us up, we haven't entered the city yet, how can we ignore the master's instructions and run to Besare?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, Fanny did not speak, but looked at Nibald with stubborn eyes full of tears, silently expressing her will.
This actually made Nibald feel embarrassed.
Although Fanny cannot be regarded as an irrelevant person, as a young lady, even if she follows, what can she do?
And since her father said so, Nibald naturally didn't want to agree to Fanny and take her to Besare.
Moreover, there are many strange things involved in this matter. I don’t know if there are any risks. Nibold did not dare to bring a little girl there who was unable to restrain a chicken.
Therefore, Nibald was prepared to refuse.
But at this time, Andy grabbed Nibald's clothes.
"My younger brother may have been involved in this incident. Grandpa, just agree to it."
Andy actually said such words.
"Nonsense." Nibald frowned and said, "This is an incident that even the royal family and the Maples family have not yet investigated and found any clues about. There may be unimaginable dangers hidden in it. How can you just do it casually for this reason?"
Bring people there?"
"What about me?" Andy said angrily: "Why did you think of taking me with you?"
"Can this be the same?" Nibald laughed angrily and said: "You are already seventeen years old this year, and soon you will have to embark on the path of studying magic alone. I am here to bring you a lot of experience and teach you by the way.
The person you ordered something from didn’t bring you here to visit.”
Andy wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Li Ge.
no way.
When Li Ge was deep in thought, the little princess on the side also tugged at the corner of his clothes, allowing him to instantly understand what the girl was thinking.
Obviously, the little princess also felt a little compassion.
This made Li Ge feel dumbfounded when he came back to his senses.
He felt that what Nibold said was very reasonable.
If it were him, he wouldn't want to take a helpless 12-year-old girl to a place where unimaginable dangers may occur.
Liz and Andy's ideas are actually very willful. They want to satisfy each other's requests because they see the other person as pitiful. In Rige's view, this is actually very inexplicable.
Li Ge, who was thinking this way, couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart when he saw Liz looking at him eagerly.
"That's all."
Li Ge turned to Nibald and said this before Andy could.
"Actually, it is not without benefit to let Miss Fanny go with us." Li Ge said: "If her brother is really involved in this mysterious disappearance, maybe her sister can see it if she goes to the scene.
Can you come up with some clues that no one else has discovered?"
This sentence made Nibald stunned.
Li Ge continued.
"Besides, she already knows everything now. Even if we don't take her with us, I don't think she will stay in Karudi and wait for her father to pick her up." Li Ge smiled half-heartedly.
He said: "After all, this eldest lady dared to sneak out of the house with an entourage because her brother had not contacted her for a long time, and was almost kidnapped by a group of thieves and played around with?"
Li Ge's words made the stubborn-looking Fanny turn pale again, and she lowered her head in shame.
There is no doubt that Li Ge was blaming Fanny in a roundabout way, accusing her of being reckless and accusing her of not knowing what danger is.
Liz and Andy were both stunned, looked at each other, and stopped talking.
Perhaps, they began to think about helping Fanny speak up. Is this the right thing to do?
"Your Excellency, what do you mean...?"
Nibald looked at Rige thoughtfully.
"I mean, for the time being, it doesn't hurt to take her over for a look." Li Ge smiled slightly and said, "If she really can't help, just let her leave."
Anyway, with [Portal], the highest-level teleportation magic, Li Ge can throw this young lady back to Karudi at any time.
