Fourth Age 937 1o 2o day, harvest festival.

When he woke up in the morning, Gordon appeared, and there was no one in the huge Freeman mansion except himself.

Because Gordon had a day off, the Bards took Eli and Elaine to the temple to worship. The family was a peasant, so like many farmers and small lords, they believed in the god of harvest, crops, and the earth.

And Xie Ona also made an appointment with Shella to go to Evangela's temple early in the morning. This god of freedom and adventure is the guardian of the vast majority of adventurers. It's just that Evangela's temple is usually built in the wilderness, at least fifteen kilometers away from the civilized settlement, so it takes more time for them to come and go.

Ever since he last met Shellaya in the blacksmith workshop of the Forge Mo Iron River, the half-elven ranger has been a frequent guest at the house. She spends most of her time going to Sheona, occasionally finding time to ask Gordon about arcane questions. Today, she will also come to join the Freeman siblings for the Harvest Festival dinner.

After eating breakfast alone, Gordon looked at the happy pedestrians on the street outside the window, and now he was a little confused about the festive atmosphere. He remembered the days on earth, the unique festivals of his own people, and he remembered the warm time of spending holidays with his parents in his childhood. It's a pity that there are no firecrackers, no red envelopes, no New Year's dinner, and no familiar people in this world.

With a hint of nostalgia in his heart, Gordon decided to go out for a walk.

On the day of the harvest festival, almost everyone pays homage to their gods, so Gordon decided to visit the temple of Ion, the god of knowledge, and donate some money by the way - you can't ask a traveler from a godless world to have a particularly devout faith, a few gold coins are enough to show his respect for the gods.

The temple of Ionn resembles a vast library, containing not only the idol of the god of knowledge, but also a large collection of books. Of course, only the devout of Ionon could read these books, and Gordon had no hope for the time being. Unlike the platinum dragon god Bahamut, the lady of the dawn Melitia, or the goddess of the harvest Cetia, who have many followers, the followers of the god of knowledge, Ion, are all scholars, mages, or nobles who value culture and education, and such elite groups must belong to a minority in the city, so even on a day like the harvest festival, there are few people in the temple, and it seems very deserted.

After throwing a few gold coins in the donation box and chatting casually with the priest, Gordon saw that it was almost noon, so he decided to go home.

Bard, with the help of his wife, was preparing for luncheon, and Eli and Elaine were like two happy little sparrows, screaming and scurrying around the house, cleaning.

Xie Ona was in her room, fiddling with the new sword she had just received from Master Forging Mo.

This sharp sword made of Mithril and strengthened with Adamantite Gold was enchanted by Gordon with a Wind Elemental Essence and Fire Elemental Essence, permanently blessed with lightning damage.

The name of the sword is Zidian, and it happens to be a pair with the dragon sound that has sonic damage.

Seeing Gordon return home, Xie Ona put away the love sword and found him: "Brother, have you seen Shella?" ”

Seeing his sister's expression, Gordon asked, "No." She's not with you? ”

Xie Ona shook her head: "After Shelleya and I came out of the temple of Evendra, she said that she wanted to go to the bazaar and buy some things, so she let me go first. We agreed to meet at home at 11 o'clock in the afternoon, but half an hour had passed and she still hadn't shown up. ”

"Maybe she's so busy that she's lost track of time."

"As an adventurer, Shellaille has a strict sense of time. I've never seen her not keep time. Xie Ona added worriedly, "Moreover, the annual harvest festival is the most mixed time in Bishui City. After the holidays, there are always several cases of missing persons, and the victims, most of whom are young and beautiful girls. ”

Gordon felt that Xie Ona was on too good terms with Shella, so he cared about it. That half-elf girl is not a weak woman who is helpless, but a fourth-level ranger, an experienced adventurer, and an ordinary human trafficker, who really can't kidnap her.

But then again, it's a world where magic prevails. Unlike Earth, kidnappers don't necessarily commit crimes solely for monetary gain. There are many demon followers and cultists who will capture innocent people and perform cruel and bloody human sacrifices. And the young and beautiful girl is the favorite of these people.

If that happens, you're in trouble.

Out of an abundance of caution, Gordon decided to go to the bazaar to find Shella.

He didn't take Sheona with him, but told her to wait at home with the communication pin. In case Shellaya comes back suddenly, you can notify him in time, so that he will not be busy in vain.

During the harvest festival, the lord of the castle would set aside the Platinum Plaza as a temporary market for the vendors who flocked to the city from the countryside and other places. Citizens are often able to buy goods that are rarely seen here.

Gordon, who had a duel at Platinum Square not long ago, has changed dramatically. All kinds of rudimentary cloth tents were set up on the streets, and some people even simply spread a broken blanket on the ground, put their goods on it, and shouted and sold it.

Humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and even rare elementals...... Almost all surface races are included here.

Treewood, Lonely Mountain, Orlandos, Antolia, Wilfast...... There are merchants and travelers from all over the Big 6.

As Xie Ona said, during the harvest festival, the second largest city in Yuanshuang Province, it is indeed a mixed and crowded place.

It is not easy to find people in such a noisy bazaar. Fortunately, Gordon is a mage, and there are always some means that ordinary people don't have.

Starting with the girl's favorite clothing and accessories stall, Gordon asked a few stall owners, spent a few "detection thoughts" spells, and caught a few pickpockets who wanted to touch the bag, and finally got the news he wanted from a clothing vendor.

"There was a beautiful Miss Green who was picking out fashion from the South, and a man came up to her, said a few words to her, and Miss Green went with him. By the way, when I left, there was something wrong with Miss Green's eyes, as if she had drunk wine. ”

Gordon thanked the stall owner and took out the handkerchief that Shellaya had left with Sheona from his bosom. He summoned a Celestial Dog and made it smell the handkerchief.

"Lead the way!"

The Celestial Dog is a second-level summoned creature, and its combat power and sense of smell are better than ordinary dogs. At the beckoner's behest, it wagged its tail and sniffed all the way, leading Gordon out of the crowded plaza and through the illuminated commercial district to the port.

"Wang! Woof! "The Celestial Dog scurried into a remote alley and stopped next to the sewer entrance.

"Inside?" Gordon couldn't help but frown. City sewers aren't a good place, damp, dark, dirty, and filled with a pungent stench. The thought of entering such an environment made Gordon uncomfortable.

But the evidence suggests that Shellay was probably somehow confused by the man, and then brought here, and he couldn't go in.

Glancing at the Celestial Dog, Gordon sighed, "I hope your nose is smart enough, don't go on a business trip." ”

Gordon tidied up, took some potions and scrolls from the dimensional pouch, and put them into the inner pocket of the mage's robe for easy access. Then, he walked into this underground world.

Sewers are not only a city's sewerage system, but also a place of refuge for beggars, bankrupts, thieves, and criminals.

Blessed with the "Pengyu Angel Eye" and the newly learned "Hearing Method", Gordon carefully walked through the intricate underground labyrinth.

After walking in the direction of the current for about ten minutes, there was a sudden sound of talking around the corner in front of me.

"Damn, that woman not only has a beautiful face, but also a coveted figure. Even Mary is far inferior. ”

"Hehe, your Mary is just a cheap prostitute, how can she compare. The woman brought back by Brother Mane is a first-class product. ”

"It's a pity that Big Brother Mane went to find the young master. We can only wait for him to come back and play enough before we can get our turn. ”

"It's a harvest festival and everyone else is busy drinking and playing with women, and it's just us who are responsible for making sure the goods are shipped out and can't have fun. Brother Mane understands us and secretly gets a woman, be content. ”

"There is no way, and only today, the city owner spends a lot of manpower to maintain law and order in the city, and the inspection of goods entering and leaving the dock will be relaxed. If it was a normal time, how could it be possible to secretly load those things on a ship and ship them out? ”

Two men with scimitars on their waists and sailor towels on their heads, five big and three thick men are guarding a door, chatting casually. Suddenly, the man with the beard on his face changed slightly, and said to his companion, "Did you hear anything?" ”

"Voice? No. Isn't it a rat? ”

The beard shook his head and smiled lewdly: "It seems to be a woman's voice." Hehe, probably an illegal prostitute living in the sewers, I'm going to check it out. ”

"Bastard, can't you control your own birds?" His companion cursed, but he followed.

The two men walked around a corner, and suddenly a strange-looking fierce dog sprang out of the garbage heap and threw his beard to the ground. They hurriedly drew their scimitars. What is horrific is that the blade slashed into the body of the fierce dog, and there was no skin and flesh, and blood splattered. The big dog turned into a white light and quietly disappeared.

"Minions!" The beard was shocked and shouted, "Someone, there's a mage!" ”

But his voice seemed to have encountered an invisible barrier, and it could not be heard beyond five meters. And Gordon, who had been in ambush for a long time, took advantage of the time bought for him by the raid of the Celestial Dogs, and sang the light of Mercury.

The two sailors screamed and fell to the ground, leaving only a huge wound on their face that had been burned to charcoal by the brilliance of the Heavenly Mountain.

"Fortunately, I set up a silence technique first, and then used the illusion technique to lure these two guys over and kill them. Otherwise, the call just now would definitely startle the snake. Gordon breathed a sigh of relief and crouched down to begin examining the body.
