When Link arrived at Ligu Village, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. The dark clouds were thick and thick, covering up the sun. The sky became more and more gloomy, and the wind blew up, shaking the trees around the small village.
Looking up at the sky, Enolie was a little worried: "It's going to rain. If the other party flees into the forest, the rain will wash away all the breath they left behind, so it will be difficult to track."
Link also frowned a little, he didn't expect to encounter such bad weather.
Unavoidably frightening the villagers, Link canceled the Gale Wolf when they were at the edge of the woods, and then he and Enolie walked into the small village along the field path outside the village.
Obviously, there are very few strangers in this remote mountain village. When Link and Enolie appeared, many people in the village ran out to watch the excitement, especially those little furry children, who were naked without any clothes The little butts ran around in front of and behind the two of them, and especially liked to surround Enolie.
This is also normal. Link has an ordinary face and is nothing to look at, but Enolie is different. She is wearing a black French dress with extremely high-quality materials and workmanship, and there are two beautiful outrageous bracelets on her wrists. The face is even more enchanting, in the eyes of these farmers, this is simply a fairy who came out of the painting!
Enolie had always lived alone, and it was the first time that so many people watched her. Seeing that everyone around her looked at her with astonishing eyes, she couldn't help but feel complacent.
Here, Link walked up to a farmer and asked gently: "I heard that someone in the village was blessed by the Lord and came back from the dead. Shall I lead the way?"
When he said this, smiles appeared on the faces of the villagers, showing a proud look.
Originally, when they saw strangers, although they came to see the excitement, they were still a little wary in their hearts, but since they came for pilgrimage, they must be believers of the Lord, so there is nothing to worry about.
A young man came over with a proud smile on his face: "Glory to the Lord, stranger, the person you mentioned who came back from the dead is my wife Lisa. Come with me, I think she will be very happy To describe to you what she saw in heaven."
Link and Enolie looked at each other and followed behind the young man.
The houses in the village are very simple, with wooden frames, thatched walls and thatched roofs, and each household is surrounded by a small yard. Link followed the young man for about fifty or sixty meters on the road full of mud and cow and sheep manure, and finally stopped in front of a small yard.
"This is my home." The young man smiled, and then he shouted: "Lisa~Lisa~ Come out quickly, there are guests here."
There was no response, only the old yellow dog in the yard responded to his shout.
"Huh? Where is the person?" The young man was very strange. He walked over and opened the door of the side room. Lisa would be spinning in the room on weekdays. There is no unloaded yarn, but there is no figure.
"Lisa? Lisa?" The young man was very confused. He walked out of the room, looked towards the courtyard door, and wanted to explain something to the two visiting guests, but he was surprised to find that the two had disappeared.
"Strange, where have everyone gone? Lisa, where are you?" The young man was still calling his wife's name, but there was no response.
Outside the courtyard, Link and Enolie were shrouded in the faint light of advanced invisibility techniques, while in the courtyard, because they couldn't find their wives, the young man's face gradually showed anxiety.
"She really noticed." This result was not what Link expected. In fact, when he heard that Lordel was involved, he didn't have much expectation for this trip to Ligu Village.
That dark elf, although unknown at this time period, is a hundred times more difficult than Filidia. This guy clearly knows the limit of his strength, and he will stop when he breaks. He never takes unnecessary risks. Very straightforward and decisive.
Enolie didn't speak, her pair of black eyes similar to Link's had a faint purple radiance, and she stared closely at the wooden house in front of her.
She is using tracking.
After about half a minute, she turned around and walked towards the back of the house. Link knew she had reached the clue, so he followed.
At this time, the man in the yard was already in a hurry, calling his wife's name constantly, his voice was full of anxiety and worry, and an old man and an old woman with white hair were also calling Lisa's name everywhere, it should be The young man's parents.
Seeing the other party like this, Link sighed slightly in his heart. To him, this was just an action to expose the Black Moon plan, but to this farmer and this ordinary family, it was a great tragedy.
After losing it, I got it again, and then I lost it again. I was tortured twice. When I met someone with a stubborn personality who didn’t make a big turn, I might be able to drive people crazy. I sighed and went to the back of the small courtyard. Link pendant from the space He took out 10 gold coins and threw them into the back window of the wooden house with the hands of a mage.
The money should be enough for him to marry another wife, which might comfort the other party a little.
Seeing him like this, Enolie glanced at him and said: "That man should have lost his wife, this is his fate, such things are happening every moment on the mainland, the number is countless, How can you handle it alone?"
Link spread his hands: "Why are you talking about ordinary trivial matters? I saw it, and I just couldn't bear it."
Enolie was taken aback, and gave Link a complicated look.
For more than a hundred years, she has seen too many big men shouting all kinds of great principles and talking about all kinds of noble morals, but she is sure that when these big men come, at least 5 out of 10 will be indifferent when encountering such a thing Passing by, 4 of them will go to comfort, and in the end there may be 1 who will give the money, but he will give it in a high-profile manner. She saw it for the first time.
Perhaps, because of this, she, a mysterious magician who is not black or white, is not tolerated by the world, can not worry about the other party's betrayal.
Silently took out 5 gold coins from his space ring, and threw them in through the window: "This is enough for him to marry a beautiful wife."
15 gold coins is indeed not a small amount for the farmer's family, and it will not bring disaster to the other party. Link smiled.
The two continued to walk forward. They did not use the magic of rushing, because magic would destroy the already subtle atmosphere in the forest.
Soon, the two entered the forest behind the village. After walking more than 500 meters in the forest, Eleanor suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter?" Link asked. In his opinion, with Eleanor's tracking magic, it should be a sure thing.
"It's strange, the aura here is divided into two, I don't know which way to chase." Enolie frowned. When chasing people, she was most afraid of not being able to find clues. She wasn't worried about this. Level 6 The title of master of mysterious magic is not given for nothing.
But now she has found two paths, which is a bit embarrassing.
Link thought for a moment, then said, "Choose a road at will."
This was the only way to go, Enolie chose the road on the left to chase down, and after walking about 300 meters like this, she stopped again, her beautiful eyebrows almost wrinkled into a knot: "There are two more What's the situation? Does he know the avatar technique?"
"Then choose another direction." Link also didn't feel very good, but unfortunately the clues were too vague, and he was not proficient in tracking magic. In this regard, he could only rely on Enolie.
There was no other way, Enolie could only choose the road on the right at random, and the two walked all the way again. After walking about 500 meters, Enolie was dumbfounded.
There is no other reason, because the scenery in front of them is very familiar, and it is the place where they first discovered the fork in the breath.
"We're back again. What's going on?" Enolie was a little confused for a moment.
Link was silent, and after a few seconds, he figured it out: "Eileen is good at manipulating men's hearts, but she doesn't have the means to respond. This should be the handwriting of the dark elf Lodel. He is very smart, and he deliberately walked around in the valley After a circle, there are two forks. No matter how we choose the first fork, we have a 50% chance of choosing the wrong one. Once we choose the wrong one, we will go back and he will get Lots of time to escape."
This is very simple in principle, but in the mountains and forests with complex terrain, if the opponent uses this move, even if they know the method used by the opponent, they will not be able to crack it. It can only be a gamble. , Enolie's luck was not very good, she chose a wrong route, and as a result, the two went around and returned to the original place.
Enolie is not stupid, Link reminded her to understand, annoyed: "How can he be so sure that we will choose the wrong way, if we choose the right way, wouldn't he waste a lot of time to escape?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Link shook his head again. In the previous game, Rodel seldom took risks. Link estimated that even if Enolie chose the right path, she would still be stunned by the opponent in the end. In fact, the other party may have other methods of confusion. In this way, even if Enolie does not make a mistake the first time, she may make a mistake the second time. The probability of choosing the right direction twice is very low, one-third None.
"Then what do we do now?" Enolie asked.
"Go back and continue chasing." Link said, since there is breath, it means that the opponent has not completely gone far. Although he made a mistake now, there is still a chance.
"Okay." The two walked back again, this time they chose another fork in the road.
After walking about 500 meters, Enolie stopped for the third time: "There is a fork in the road again, I hate this damn dark elf, now, go left or right?"
"Can you tell the difference between the two roads?" Link asked.
"No, the breath is very faint, it's good if you can feel it, and you can't tell the difference at all." Enolie shook her head.
Link had put away all his contempt. Seeing what Eleanor said, he leaned over and began to carefully look at the traces on the ground.
His observation ability is very strong, much stronger than that of ordinary magicians. This can be seen from his enchantment. He can guarantee a good rune for such a small rune.
In terms of magic breath, Link can't track it, but the other party will always leave traces when he walks by. Footprints, crushed dead branches, trampled grass stems, etc., can still be seen as long as you observe carefully.
Because there are fallen leaves and dead branches in the forest, the footprints are very vague, and Link can't see any big difference between the footprints on the two roads, but Link found clues from the broken grass stems.
From the freshness of these grass stems, he roughly judged the length of time the opponent had passed.
Although the difference is very, very small, it cannot be hidden from Link's eyes.
After watching for three minutes, Link said: "Go to the right, the other party passed here more than 40 minutes ago."
"Okay." Enolie walked to the fork on the right.
The two walked forward for a thousand meters, but there was no second fork in the road. It seemed that the other party had a split body technique, and they were directly divided into two people from the previous fork in the road.
"It's not good, we seem to have made a mistake again." Enolie spread her hands with a helpless expression.
"Don't worry. Keep going." Link was confident.
Just chasing all the way, and chasing for more than a thousand meters, there is still no fork in the road. Enolie has already frowned, but the smile on Link's face is even stronger.
Seeing that Eleanor looked like she was about to give up, he explained with a smile: "This time the opponent didn't walk in circles, but went all the way forward. Of those two paths, one was the one that the opponent had walked out long ago, and the other was The opponent is walking now. If I guess correctly, the opponent is not far in front of us."
It's not been a day or two since Lodel stayed in Chestnut Valley Town. He went deep into the Norton Kingdom, and it was impossible not to make some preparations for exposure.
Eleanor was dubious.
The two walked another 1,000 meters. Link looked at the fresher traces on the ground and said with a smile: "Eileen's ordinary body slows down their speed, and the other party is right in front of them!"
Walking forward again, about one kilometer away, Link saw a woman lying down on the side of the road, with a dagger stuck in the back of her head, blood gushing out, apparently she had just died not long ago.
Her eyes were wide open, filled with surprise.
"It's Lisa!" Enolie stepped forward with a look of disbelief: "Who killed her?"
"It's the dark elf. He thought Lisa was a drag, so he killed her to silence her." Link squatted down to check the wound on the body, then shook his head: "The other party's attack was very ruthless, and it was completely hopeless. "
"The other party must be right in front of you, speed up?" Eleanor clicked her tongue, chasing all the way, this dark elf's methods are really powerful, if she was alone, she would not be able to catch up here.
Link shook his head: "No need, I can't catch up."
"Why?" Enolie was still a little puzzled, but when she felt a little chill on her face, she couldn't help sighing: "It's raining, it seems to be a heavy rain."
The rain will wash away all breath. If the other party has the burden of Elena, Link is still a little bit sure to catch up, but if the other party gives up this burden without hesitation, then there is no hope.
Observing his task, it still showed an unfinished state. Under his continuous investigation, the Dark Elf's Black Moon Project showed a slight outline, but the specific details were still hidden in a thick fog.
With God's help, Link was slightly defeated in this confrontation with Lodel, which allowed him to see the power of this world's top figure, which is really impossible to underestimate.
