Chapter 35
Naughty Child
Generally, when mercenaries are paid to work, they must be trustworthy.
Although there is no clear limit on whether he can work for other employers at the same time.
But if Eli really does something that harms their interests for other jobs, even if he can't beat him, he will have to pay the price!
But there is no evidence now, so he can't alert the enemy.
With the help of 222's video recording, they restored Eli's rest cabin to its original state and put the small iron box back.
Next, he had to keep an eye on Eli's movements, otherwise he wouldn't know when he was betrayed!
222 also agreed to assist Alandil in focusing on tracking Eli's activities, prioritizing privacy protection.
Three days later, his hearing returned to normal, and Nora and Eli had not returned.
On the first and second days, 222 received messages from Nora, indicating that everything was normal with them.
But the third day passed and there was no new news from Nora, which made Alandil feel very worried.
Especially since we still don’t know what Eli’s purpose is, letting him go out alone with Nora may be the most unwise approach.
222 Logical analysis believes that Eli should not take any action detrimental to Nora's master now because the ether crystal has not been found yet.
Alandil didn't think so. After he sent several messages and Nora didn't reply, he couldn't sit still.
He ordered 222 to follow their path forward.
The Tianren were able to locate each other through the Athena series of motorboats. Under the operation of 222, they quickly approached the location of the Athena motorboat.
The strange thing is that when he found the motorboat, Nora and Eli were not there.
And judging from the fallen leaves on the surface of the motorboats, they haven't been used for at least a day.
Where are Nora and Eli?
There was still no reply from the communicator. The positioning of the communicator between them could be detected as long as they were within a radius of thirty kilometers.
Now the positioning of the communicator in his hand does not respond, which means that Nora and the others are now beyond this range.
The Tianren's positioning system has a range of 150 kilometers. Originally, the range of the Athena motorboat could be expanded.
But now even the Sky Blade has lost their positioning. In addition to exceeding the positioning range, there is another possibility that their communicators have been destroyed!
Could it be that there was really an emergency that prevented them from contacting the outside world?
Calm down, calm down, Alandil, don't panic.
After taking a deep breath and calming down, Alandil began to think about two situations.
"222, dispatch three A-type reconnaissance planes as relay points to search for the location of Nora and Eli."
"Once you find their traces, follow them immediately!"
If they are positioned out of range, use three reconnaissance aircraft as relay points, and it will take a while to reconnect.
Of course, there is also the risk of being discovered by the Blue tribe metaclass, but he can't control that much now.
222 executes the instruction immediately after receiving it.
According to Nora's meticulous character, even if she cannot contact the outside world, she will leave corresponding marks as a reminder.
"222, where was the last position of the Sky Blade shown last time?"
"The last time Master Nora was located was near the edge village of the Bru tribe, a place called Giant Sequoia Village."
"There is currently very little information available about this giant sequoia village."
The large library of the Soi tribe has comprehensive records of information about its tribe.
But regarding the situation of other tribes, there are only rough records and not detailed records.
Alandil speculated that Nora and the others might have come into contact with the people from Sequoia Village, and he could inquire about their whereabouts.
Giant Sequoia Village, he had to see it for himself.
After explaining the 222 monitoring and positioning status and follow-up contact, Alandil packed up several weapons, rode on the Athena motorboat and headed towards Giant Sequoia Village.
A few hours later, after detecting traces of the southern metaclass, Alandil stopped the motorboat and hid it.
When walking around Jushan Village, even if there were no obvious village markers, he could tell from the surrounding environment that he had entered the village.
Because there are huge trees all over the place, only seven or eight people need to surround the branches of each tree.
There are several stories below the branches, because the large trees completely block the sun, so the roads under these trees are covered with fallen leaves, and there are basically no other shrubs growing.
It can even be said that there is no grass growing, and the colors of the stones here are a bit strange, and there are some strange marks on the bark at the roots of the giant sequoia trees.
And in this broad daylight, he didn't see any building in his sight.
Could it be said that their village has to go further?
Alandil continued walking inside. Along the way, he didn't encounter any strange plants or animals, and there were basically no sounds of birds.
Why is it that the deeper you go into this giant sequoia forest, the more you feel that something is wrong?
Suddenly, a branch hit Alandil's head. Although he felt no pain, he still raised his head subconsciously.
Another branch fell down. Alandil dodged left and right. The armor scanned and zoomed in. It was a seven or eight-year-old metamorphic child.
The metamorphic cub is smacking him happily:
"Little brat, why are you so rude?!"
Facing Alandil's roar, the child's expression became even more pale. He yelled a few times, and a group of naughty children emerged from the tree trunks.
Branches rained down instantly above Alandil's head, although none actually hit him.
But the distance was completely out of reach, and he couldn't shoot at them. For a while, he really couldn't do anything to these naughty kids.
"Is this how your parents taught you to treat guests? I came here with goods to trade!"
Alandil, who was dodging left and right, discovered that these naughty children seemed to be able to walk between the giant sequoia trees, and the fallen branches were chasing after them!
"Get out! Get out!"
The naughty child’s voice came over!
They're driving people away! It's really unreasonable! If he is caught, these naughty kids must be beaten!
Alandil simply stopped hiding and let the branches hit him.
"You naughty kids, come down here if you can!"
"I won't leave, let's see what you can do!"
The children on the tree smashed all the goods in their hands one by one, while the villagers below still seemed to be hanging on.
They looked at each other, and one of the older children said something to the other child.
He quickly disappeared between the tree trunks, and Alandil sat on the ground, staring at the naughty children in the tree.
After a while, the naughty children suddenly became excited, pointed in one direction, and shouted: "Black water, black water!"
Alandil is confused, what is it?
What are these naughty kids doing?
"Hey, little bastard, where have you adults gone?"
"Black water, black water! Danger!"
Alandil looked at the expressions of these naughty children, and it didn't look like they were joking. He followed the direction they pointed and turned on the far-sighted function of the armor.
A black stream of water is flowing here?!
What the hell is that! The black liquid, like a flash flood, is coming over quickly from a distance!
This thing didn't look like a green and harmless thing, so Alandil retreated.
The black liquid was approaching behind him. How could his running speed be as fast as the flood!
At the critical moment, the rope ladder was suddenly thrown down from the top of the giant sequoia tree.
Alandil didn't even think about it, he grabbed the rope ladder and climbed up!
Black flood flows from under your feet! The armor's harmful warning interface dominates the screen!
