Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 404: Unexpected accident (2/3)
"Don't you know the same as me?"
Ian looked at Xiou with a smile, causing his expression to change gradually, from indignation to shame caused by self-exposure in ten seconds.
Xio sighed, sat back on the log, continued to eat the stone barbecue, and said helplessly: "Okay, I admit that I know all of this...but there is no malice, and I didn't deliberately follow you."
"Anfa and I have known each other for a long time. We are pen pals. He and I made an appointment to meet in a small town west of Indigo Mountain. However, the deadline for the appointment has not yet arrived in the past three days, so I had no choice but to set off to find him. trace."
——You also said that I lied, isn't your lie also a set?
Ian was not moved by this set of rhetoric at all, and even wanted to laugh a little in his heart: "It's exactly the same as Anfa, it's all true information with a lot of false information that sounds true - they are pen pals This is not a lie, and the language habits are too similar."
And if you look carefully, Ian can still see traces of Anfa's appearance from Xiou's face. They are obviously very close, and they can even borrow their faces, but for some reason they lost the way to communicate with each other. .
Wait.
There was a sudden movement in the boy's heart.
——The dragon in front of him claims to be Anfa's friend.
——The dragon that flew out of the Baisen Mountains.
——In Nauman City, because of the competition for the "precious things" of the Dragon Worship Cult.
——And finally, Anfa who claims to be traveling and investigating the ancient culture of the mountain people...
Anfa claimed that he came to Nanling because of the ancient aboriginal culture and the clues of the civilization of the pre-epoch. This is indeed not a lie, Ian can see it.
However.
From the Lost Era to four hundred years ago, isn't the **** worshiped by the mountain people the ancient dragon of the fifth energy level, the "Steel Dragon"?
"No, can't you?"
He was stunned. Although Ian didn't reveal any flaws on the surface, he couldn't help but see the sequence of actions of Anfa and Sister Yingguang in his mind: "Anfa is related to Dragon Worship? This is not very Surprising."
"Is it possible that Sister Yingguang actually came after Anfa's whereabouts??
Because the Nanling Dragon Worship Sect has been active recently, the Huaiguang Church has locked the possibility of missing persons on the Dragon Worship Sect. This is a normal inference.
But by mistake, Yingguangxiu actually found the whereabouts of Anfa related to the Dragon Worship Sect, so he ignored other suspicious areas all the way and came to Lai'an Territory.
Ian also talked with Sister Reflecting Light before leaving Leanne. He knew that there were many places on the Onyx Plain that were more likely to cause disappearances than Leanne, but Sister Reflecting Light ignored them all the way. , come here directly.
Because it is a confidential matter, Sister Yingguang did not tell Ian the reason for her actions. She only said that she had reliable clues and tracked them all the way, so she was able to find Baron Ryan's evil in the first place. evidence.
At that time, the boy was still thinking, Huaiguang Church's intelligence power is really powerful, and it can find the real source so straight.
But now it seems...
"I'm afraid it's not a blind cat that bumps into a dead mouse, it's all bumped into it!"
Ian shook his head slightly, and now the clues became clear.
If there is no accident, Anfa should be related to the Dragon Worship Cult. He traveled all the way south just to meet the dragon pen pal in front of him who called himself Xiou.
Because he is really a researcher of aboriginal civilization, he planned to go to Laianling, the symbol of the integration of mountain people and empire, on the way, but he was blocked by the sharp-clawed tiger halfway.
Subsequently, the Sister Reflecting Light, who realized that Anfa was related to the Dragon Worship Cult, also arrived in Lean Territory, which made Baron Leon feel extremely happy—he thought that Sister Reflecting Light was overestimated It took a long time to find myself, so I was not prepared at all and became tense and alert.
Combined with his own arrival, and the movement made by the Dragon Cult in Nauman City, which attracted all the staff of the Institute of Gnosis, this series of factors made the baron determined to start planning as soon as possible.
Immediately afterwards, Anfa noticed that something was wrong with Lean's collar, and after meeting him, he ran away directly.
Sister Yingguang made a mistake and solved the source of the disappearance together with Ian.
Everyone is misunderstanding, but it just happens to solve the whole problem.
And now, after everything has settled, the elf bachelor may have noticed that Sister Reflecting Light is following her all the way, or she really felt that the atmosphere in the whole Nanling was not right, so she completely hid, so she disappeared or even disappeared. Cut off the means of communication with the outside world.
With such elements superimposed, this dragon that has a high probability of being related to the Dragon Worship Cult controls the long-range prosthetic body. He ran over and asked himself, this person who saw Anfa for the last time, did he know where the elf ran to? where it goes.
Well, we should also add the current chaos in Nauman City.
If Anfa really has something to do with the Dragon Worship Cult, he probably noticed the chaos in the city in advance, so he set off early.
Even...he was one of the 'changes of fate' caused by himself?
"I think, you have to go into the mountains to see."
With that said, Ian took a spoonful of broth and drank it, feeling the heat soaking through his body.
He said to Xiou, who had already sat back on the log, with a pensive look on his eyes: "He always said that he wanted to study the culture of the mountain people, and you are the mountain people? You probably missed it—he went into the mountain , you go down the mountain, it's that simple, so you can't find it."
"Yes."
One word awakened the dreamer, Xiou opened his eyes wide, showing a dazed expression: "I said that I have been chasing him for so long, and he is not fast, so we should have met a long time ago..."
"I see, thank you very much, Guide Knight, please allow me to retire first!"
"Thank you for the pine cone wild boar you hunted, it was a hearty meal." Ian watched the back of the other party stand up and lead the pony away, smiled and greeted with the steak in his hand: "Really If you don't stay, finish this meal?"
"No, thank you for your help." Having said that, the red-haired 'mountain man' seemed to remember something, he turned his head and looked at Ian.
Xio raised his hand with a smile, raised a finger, and said in a mysteriously low voice, "I almost forgot. To express my gratitude, I want to tell you a very important piece of information."
"Besides me, there is another person following you from afar."
"And that person obviously has bad intentions."
So saying, Xiou waited to see Ian's reaction - this guy, his face was full of 'come and beg me to help you! ’ expression, just like a big cat with no bad intentions.
Easier to read than Isengard.
"Thanks for the tip."
The corner of the teenager's mouth was raised, but he didn't respond at all other than that: "I will be careful."
The red-haired 'Mountain Man' felt quite bored and left muttering, but before leaving, he still praised Ian's cooking skills.
After the other party left, Ian withdrew his smile. He was eating the steak, but he was thinking about the last words Xiou left behind.
——Besides this guy, there is another malicious person following him.
But only the second energy level.
Of course he also knows this, but compared to the light blue light, the purple light is of course not very conspicuous.
But the opponent followed all the way, but never made a move... This made Ian wonder if he should take the initiative to expose the opponent.
"Is it the Institute of the Intellect? Or the Court of Nobles? They probably wanted to find out clues about the deputy section chief from me, but they couldn't be sure if I knew, so they were just looking for opportunities on the way— — After all, I am also a knight, if I accidentally make a scene, everyone will look bad."
Ian deduced the enemy's target and observed it with the Frost Butterfly, and found that there was always a faint red lingering around him.
Obviously, no matter what method is used to deal with it, the existence that follows him will definitely attack him. There will be a battle between the two sides, and there will be certain risks.
Unless...
I arrived at Double Tree Town by myself.
The light red and purple mist is still there, proclaiming the coexistence of danger and opportunity.
"Interesting."
Throwing the eaten bones into the fire, Ian laughed: "I'd like to see what kind of 'opportunity' there is in Shuangshu Town."
