When he left the city that never sleeps, Lide felt that there were more eyes staring at him.
He didn't feel any killing intent from it, which means that there are not many people who really want him to die in Yunhai, and no one who premeditatedly murdered him has yet appeared. However, Lide did not take it lightly. He still perceives the surrounding situation at all times, ensuring that he can find out and solve troubles as soon as they arise.
Five people squeezed into a carriage, which was a bit crowded, and Irene sat on Baihuang's lap and read the picture book.
The picture book was bought as a gift from Yunhai, and it was very rough printed. Engraving and printing with not-so-exquisite painters, without a single word on it, are basically for children aged three or five to watch and play with. However, Irene was completely fascinated by it. She flipped through the small album of less than 20 pages four or five times, biting her finger and soaking in the aftertaste.
Lide couldn't stand it anymore, so he told Irene a few stories he had read in his previous life. For example, "Unscrupulous Couples Deceit", "Hina Misawa's Happy Daily Life", "My Campus Life" and so on, Irene immediately came up to Lid with bright eyes, and jumped onto Lid's lap to sit. It's a pity that the journey this time was not long. It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive near Zhiluo Mountain. Although Irene pestered Lide to tell another story, she was finally carried by Lide reluctantly. car.
Zhiluo Mountain is indeed as desolate as Bai Huang described.
It's hard to imagine such a desolate mountain in the sea of clouds, but according to Bai Huang, a sorcerer told the lord of the sea of clouds in the early years that this mountain stretches from east to west, where the energy vein of the sea of clouds lies, and cannot be easily mined. Otherwise, if one is not careful, it may cut off the vitality of Yunhai for the next few hundred years.
I don't know if it's because Lord Yunhai believed what the sorcerer said, or because the mountain really has no mining value, Zhiluo Mountain has been kept in such a posture. The mountain has not been developed, which means that there is no road to walk on, only some dirt roads, and sometimes you have to climb branches and dead vines to advance. Around the foot of the mountain, Lid found a newly carved knife mark on the trunk of a tree, with a white arrow pointing high.
He looked around, there should be many such arrows, to make sure he could see the guide no matter which direction he went up the mountain. Zhiluo Mountain is very big, so the other party must have been preparing for it a long time ago, but it is not clear why the other party chose to meet in such a place.
"Grandma is really convinced... If there is a next time, I will call hundreds of people to come and cut down the tree. It's really in the way."
Bai Huang kicked on a big thick tree, which made his feet hurt from the shock, and he jumped up and down with one leg covering his feet.
Irene was staring at the fruit on the tree in a daze, wiping her saliva lightly from time to time.
Li De stretched out his hand and pulled Baihuang up a slope, and said with a smile:
"Hundreds of people can't clean up this mountain. If you want to dig a road here, it may be a bit difficult without tens of thousands of people."
Bai Huang supported her knees, panted for breath, and said angrily:
"Those who write to us had better wait on the top of the mountain. If the trip is in vain, my aunt will go to my grandma's house. When will the royal family release the dragon chariot to various territories? My aunt can't wait to ride the dragon car The car flew up in one breath."
Lide sensed his surroundings. In fact, there were no ferocious beasts in the forest. Perhaps the mountains were too desolate, and there was not enough habitat space for large beasts. There are quite a few flying birds and mountain apes, but probably because there is no shortage of food, they have not shown any aggressiveness towards humans.
After climbing up for a while, Lide couldn't find the mark for the time being. It is certain that there are not many people involved in marking, and it may be done by one person overnight, so it is impossible to consider all the travel routes. Because the mountain road is not fixed, Li De, Bai Huang and others can only guarantee to keep climbing to the high place, and it is very likely that they will deviate from the marked direction as they climb. So once more than half an hour passed without finding any markers on the road, Lied would stop to rest and look around.
Baihuang sat down on a relatively flat stone, and said to Lide:
"Go, grandma, rest here for a while... It's too tiring."
Lid went out to find a new mark, and Alaya followed him worriedly. During the period, Alaiya also helped Lide pick two fruits, but because they were overripe, they were already a little rotten, so Alaiya could only throw them away with great heartache. This time, Lide found the mark far, far away. The mark did not point to the top of the mountain, but pointed in an oblique direction. Lide made a note silently, and then went to meet Baihuang.
However, when he returned to the resting place of Baihuang, Li De found that only Baihuang and Heji were left here.
"Where's Erin?"
Lide asked a question, and also found a stone to sit down on.
Bai Huang replied:
"He said he went to the toilet, and he will probably be back in a while."
Li De nodded, and didn't think much about it at first. After all, it is reasonable for people to have three urgencies. However, after a period of time, Irene still hadn't been seen, and Lide couldn't help but start to feel a little worried. He sensed the surrounding situation, the woods were very quiet, as if there was nothing here from the beginning. The birds in the forest perched peacefully on the branches and took a nap, and the wild cranes were pecking at the small fish in the stream.
"Which way did she go?"
Lid asked.
Bai Huang also realized that something was wrong, stood up and pointed in a direction. Lied said:
"You stay here and wait. Alaya, you and I will check."
Alaiya nodded, and the two quickly ran in the direction Bai Huang pointed. Lid's observation skills are very good, and he can easily distinguish which places have been stepped on. After chasing for a while, Lid saw a series of scattered footprints on the ground, followed by traces of going down the mountain.
That silly loli oiran was kidnapped!
Lid took a deep breath and rubbed his sore forehead.
He knew that Bai Huang could not be blamed for this matter. If Irene wanted to run out by herself, Heji would definitely not be able to follow; if Bai Huang followed, Heji would not be at ease, and Irene would definitely leave alone in the end. It would be fine if they were close, Heji could hear something happened, but Irene wandered to the distance by herself, was kidnapped and kidnapped after being attacked.
"Master."
Alaya called Lid, handed over a token, and said:
"Found this on the ground. Seems to have been put there on purpose."
Lied took the token from Alaya's hand, and frowned involuntarily.
Order of the sea of clouds.
Unlike the low-end version in Irene's hand, which can only be exchanged for bread and milk, this is a genuine Yunhai Token. Only Yunhai's top executives are eligible to hold the token. According to Baihuang, this token can mobilize many resources in Yunhai, even she doesn't have it in her hands.
Lid turned the token over and over in his hand, squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought.
