Chapter 323 The Missing Norton
As the group walked speechlessly to Ryan, he was observing the rainbow trout he had just caught from the lake.
"Oh! This fish is quite big, it seems like you'll have a good time again at noon."
When Alisa saw Ryan's appearance as if no one was around her, her forehead was visible to the naked eye. She couldn't help but stretch out her snow-white and slender right leg and gently kicked Ryan's butt.
"What are you idiots doing? With your perception ability that is better than Rein and Gaius, I don't believe you will not notice us!"
Ryan turned around in surprise and said, "Huh? Aren't these students from Group A? Why are you here? Are you here to fish with me?"
Alisa angrily cushionedly pinched Ryan's ear, "Stop being fooled! You've guessed we're here long ago, right? Where is the 'hermit' in Gaius's mouth?"
Seeing the somewhat entangled and anticipated expression on Alisa's face, Ryan smiled and touched her head and said, "Mr. 'Herde' had been driving a small boat to fish across the lake. If it weren't for waiting for you to come, I would have wanted to go with him."
Gaius chuckled and said, "Sure enough, the hermit is still enjoying life as always. Does he have anything to convey to us?"
"Well...at least there is nothing particularly worth explaining now. In short, you can continue to complete the internship project first. Remember to come back here for lunch. I have contacted the elders of the village just now."
Before leaving, Alisa still seemed a little unreliable. She looked at Ryan with a silence, and almost asked several times, but in the end she swallowed the words back.
Ryan gently patted Alisa's head and said, "Please clean up your mood and complete this morning's project. I heard from Mr. Ragang that you are asking you to find Mr. Norton?"
"Yesterday I rode him on a horse and sent him to the quarry for camping. He patted his chest and promised me that there would be no problem...you should find him as soon as possible."
Alisa seemed to notice something from Ryan's attitude. The premonition that arose in her heart when Gaius talked about the hermit was getting stronger and stronger.
But at this time, the strong girl bit her lower lip and nodded and firmly became stronger. "I understand, don't keep sucking here, do some serious business."
‘Are you serious?’
Looking at the five people in Group A who left, Ryan chuckled and thought, "How do you know I'm not doing serious business here? With the international contact equipment at Grandpa Guen's house, I can contact the country even if I don't leave my home."
Before Guen went out, Ryan expressed his idea to borrow communication equipment to contact his home. Guen, who was in a hurry to go out for fishing, did not think much and agreed readily.
Through remote contact, Ryan learned about Kiddyn's general movements from Miltio.
He and the Behemoth Hunter hide in the quarry as a temporary stronghold. This unexpected coincidence made him feel a little worried about Norton who happened to be missing.
In addition, Miltilu also obtained Rector's latest developments through the Duke's intelligence network.
The guy had just rushed back from Crossbel and returned to the imperial capital Heimdal without any cover. At this time, he should have reported the situation in Kezhou to Gillias Osborne in the Prime Minister's Office in the Balfrem Palace.
‘The actors are all in place, and now we will wait for one side to jump into the turbulent waltz first.’
Ryan looked at the mirror-like lake in front of him, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Scarecrow-Rector Arandel, I hope your supernatural power that has saved him countless times can help you at critical moments."
Class 7 seemed to have encountered some trouble in the morning's project. When Mr. Guen returned with full load at noon, the students still had not returned to the lakeside cabin.
Guen felt a little worried about his granddaughter, Gaius and others. "Is something wrong? I heard from Ragang that a reporter from the Empire disappeared. Those children will not be involved in any troublesome incidents, right?"
Ryan was quite confident in the students of Class 7 who had undergone two internships. He comforted and said, "Don't worry, it's not the first time those children have participated in the internship. They probably just encountered some problems that were delayed."
Sure enough, at around 13:30 pm, the five students in Group A finally returned to the shore of Lake Laclima with the dirty Norton.
Standing at the door, Ryan looked at the six people with his hands and jokingly, "So what? What did you encounter? And Mr. Norton, didn't you promise me that something would happen? What's going on with this embarrassed look?"
Li En waved helplessly and said, "It's hard to see it. In short, let's solve lunch first. We haven't eaten anything since breakfast at 6 a.m., so we're all hungry."
Ryan shrugged and said, "Okay, come in with me. The lunch made by the hermit for you has been hot several times. Let's talk about it after dinner."
The group of mermaids entered the cabin in a row. The nervous Alisa saw the old man playing the violin in the house at first sight.
"Sure!" Alisa rushed to Guen excitedly and asked in a trembling voice, "Grandpa! I didn't expect you to live in seclusion on the Nord Plateau. Why didn't you tell us over the years?!"
After putting down the violin, Guen showed a rare kind expression, "Long time no see, little Alisa, don't I send you a letter every once in a while? Could it be that Irina detained the letter and didn't show it to you?"
"No, I have received your letter, but..."
Alisa's eyes were a little red, she sniffed and continued to ask, "Why are you unwilling to go home for so many years? I have always.........."
Guen showed a guilty expression on his face. He patted Alisa's head gently and said, "Sorry, although I have my own ideas, it seems that you have hurt you. My grandfather is really incompetent."
The other students in Group A looked at the interaction between the two in surprise. Norton also raised the guide camera in his hand in a condition, but in order to avoid disturbing the two grandparents, he did not press the shutter ignorantly.
After Guen comforted Alisa a little, he looked up at the other four classmates, "Gaus, it's been a long time since you've seen each other, you seem to have grown a little taller."
"For the first time I met, I am Alisa's grandfather, Gunn Ryanfolt, the fool who was driven off the position of president by his daughter."
"Grandpa!"
Guen's inappropriate joke attracted Alisa's dissatisfaction, which in her opinion was not a topic that could be used to joke about.
"Haha, sorry, sorry, in short, everyone should sit down and have a meal first. I'm very curious about your morning experience."
The six people who had been hungry for a morning did not care about speaking at this time, and ate the lunch made of Guen with the freshest ingredients into their stomachs. Then they sat on the chair with satisfaction and breathed a sigh of relief.
"So……"
