Chapter 208: The Strange Village Chief
After resting for the night, the next day Leng Yue rested for another half day and waited for the wound to heal completely, until the afternoon. Reading at zero o'clock
Riding on the back of the Red Flame Bird, it has been delayed for a day, Rachel asked the Red Flame Bird to speed up, originally more than 150 kilometers per hour, to the back of the whole reached a speed of more than 1,000 per hour, Svania, the cold moon can no longer see the front clearly, the eyes blown by the strong wind can't be opened, Rachel squints, ignoring the uncomfortable feeling can bear it.
Feifei stopped, either Sfania was uncomfortable and wanted to go down to rest, or Leng Yue had a situation, and proposed to pause for a while, originally with the maximum speed of the Red Flame Bird, it would be almost eighteen hours or so, but Leng was delayed and arrived at the destination after two days.
"Me! Oh my God, it's so fast! When she landed, Sfania's body shook and her legs were swinging.
Leng Yue is not much better, or she is the most uncomfortable, it is enough to choke at a speed of more than a thousand per hour, or stay on the back of the Red Flame Bird, the feeling of being burned is really purgatory.
"Whew!" Leng Yue adjusted her breathing, while her eyes secretly observed the surroundings.
"This is the frontier area mentioned in the mission?" Rachel took out the mission details from her bag and looked around, looking around strangely, there were too few people, right? And it's all old people, like children, young men and women, and they haven't seen anything, not even middle-aged.
Rachel told the Red Flame Bird to stand by, and led the two girls to the nearest old man.
"Grandpa, is this Guanxia Village?" The old man didn't react, his eyes looked straight ahead, Rachel shouted a few more words, seeing that there was still no response, he took the liberty of reaching out and shaking it in front of the old man's eyes; "Can't you see it?"
"He's blind, and his ears couldn't hear a long time ago, he can't hear what you say!" There was a man walking from the dirt road in front of him, about sixty or seventy years old, and his body was quite tough, and looking at the strong muscles, he must have exercised when he was young.
"Really?" Rachel lamented, folded her hands in apology, and turned to look at the man; "You are?"
"I am the village chief of Guanxia Village, you can call me Guan Lao Village Chief, or Guan Village Chief, but you, riding such a magical beast, and this uniform, are you the students of Yuehua Academy in the imperial capital?" The old man introduced himself and expressed considerable surprise at Rachel, though the surprise seemed a little out of place.
"Yes!" Rachel stood up straight; "We are the students who received the task this time and came to deal with it, do you have any clues to provide? And where have all the people in this village gone? Are they all missing? ”
"Alas! It turned out to be Yuehua's, that's great, it's just that if you had come earlier, that wouldn't have happened! Guan Lao Village Chief shook his head and sighed, and walked towards the center of the village with the three daughters and the Red Flame Bird.
Along the way, the old village chief introduced the relevant situation of this village, because it is a village near the sea, every family depends on fishing for a living, there will be a regular merchant ship to buy here, the days are quite nourishing, but suddenly, the population began to disappear mysteriously, first one, and then become a family, and then the number of missing people is increasing day by day.
"Since it's something that happened a long time ago, why didn't you post the task earlier?" Svania asked, according to the old village chief Guan, the missing person started more than a month ago, what did he do at that time?
"Huh! This one! "Guan Lao's face changed slightly, and he was hesitant;" Oh, it's a sea monster, at first we thought it was the missing man who did something bad and was eaten by the sea monster, so we didn't think much about anything other than sacrifice to the sea monster and ask for peace, until recently we realized that something was wrong! ”
This reason is not impossible, some villages with closed information will still have quite serious superstitions, or mountain gods, or sea monsters, and it is not uncommon to sacrifice living people.
When they got home, the village chief Guan personally went to make tea for the three of them and prepare some seaweed as snacks.
"Are you alone at home, the village chief? Was it also captured? Svania blinked with wide, sparkling eyes and curiosity.
"Huh! No, and my wife, it's just that she's not very well, so I'm resting inside! Old Village Chief Guan smiled with a slightly stiff face.
Leng Yue sneered in her heart, she no longer had hope for the mastermind of this operation, even threatening people was so bad, full of flaws, and picked up the teacup in front of her.
"Cold Moon?"
"What's the matter? President? ”
"You studied potions, and you have a high level of knowledge about medicines, can you see that there is something wrong with these things?" Rachel tilted his head, leaned into Leng Yue's ear and whispered without a trace.
Leng Yue was stunned, she knew the problem in this tea as soon as she smelled it, it was a very strong sleeping pill, but it was difficult to detect without a certain foundation in the potions course, although it was a very low-level means, but because it was the order of the second prince, Leng Yue would also cooperate, anyway, the concept of medicine had little effect on her.
Leng Yue wanted to do just that, everyone drank sleeping pills together, she was fine, Rachel would definitely be knocked down, and then it would be slaughtered by those guys, but she never expected Rachel to ask her at this stall.
How to answer? If you don't know, it's just exposed, and it's hard to guarantee that Rachel herself won't know, or this is Rachel's temptation to her, thinking of how much Rachel has learned some potions, Leng Yue secretly refreshed herself.
"Well, there are sleeping pills with a very strong effect!" After thinking about the pros and cons for a short time, Leng Yue chose to tell that it was not worth it at all to risk exposure because of such an unreliable trap.
"Really? I feel a little strange, this smell seems to have a very punchy feeling, I see? Rachel said suddenly.
Leng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, as she thought, Rachel already had doubts about this tea, if she really said that she didn't feel it, the tea was fine, then it would be a goof, it wouldn't happen, but it would inevitably make Rachel suspicious of her, which was not okay.
"Well, village chief, can you tell us more about where the missing people have gone?" Quietly stopped the princess's move of drinking tea and eating seaweed, Rachel smiled and looked at the old village chief Guan with an abnormal face and a reluctant and stiff smile; "Don't look at our age, but our strength is still passable, if it is a gangster or a man-made crime, then we can repel it!"
"Hehehe, it's really funny, I just got the information before, someone witnessed a missing child near Puliu Island overseas, maybe it's there!"
