Chapter 10 The missing person(1/2)
The sun rises and it's another beautiful day.
The feeling of working smoothly is always so good, especially when you see the coins clinking into your pocket, the feeling is always so comfortable.
While calculating the accounts, Ai Luo felt a little excited about the huge revenue in the past two days.
It seems that even if we don't go into the mines, as long as the army is stationed here, there will be more people. And when there are more people, the work will naturally become more. Especially for an adventurers guild like my own, no matter where they go, they will need manpower.
, isn’t it?
Alas, I only hate that my own guild still has too few manpower! Think about other big guilds, which can have hundreds of permanent members. The president of such a big guild feels that he has dignity when he walks out.
After calculating the accounts, Ai Luo closed the account book with a smile on his face.
But just when he looked at the daylight and planned to go to the kitchen to make dinner to entertain the members who had been busy all day, they would go home for dinner...
A man hurriedly ran in from outside the door, shook his head left and right, and ran towards Ai Luo.
"Yo! Master Whiskey!"
Ai Luo was still thinking about the time adjustment in the past two days. The army should have been able to arrange to go into the mine again, right? Thinking about it this way, it was not a surprise to him that Whiskey appeared.
But then when he saw Whiskey's obviously tight face, Ai Luo immediately knew that there was trouble.
"President Arrow, has Captain Muppet ever come to your place?"
When he ran to the counter, the words that Whiskey said to his face surprised Airl.
He didn't even react for a moment. He shook his head blankly and said, "No, I haven't seen him since the camp was separated three days ago. What's wrong?"
Whiskey looked a little nervous and anxious. He stamped his feet, rubbed his hands and said, "It's not even here... Your place must be the least likely place for him to come, right? It's not even here... Where did he go?"
With that said, Whiskey turned around and walked out.
Seeing something was wrong, Ai Luo rolled his eyes and immediately stopped him: "What's going on? The captain ran away with his troops or something?"
Whiskey stood at the door of the guild, looking at the street outside and not knowing where to look for it. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "He is missing! His team members are all waiting to share the gold, but the two
This guy suddenly disappeared a few days ago! What a surprise, everyone thought he ran away with the piece of gold!"
"But when we searched his residence later, we discovered that he had placed the piece of gold in a box under the bed. His team members were not in a hurry and their captain absconded with the money, but one day later they saw their captain
When he still didn't come back, I thought something might have happened and started looking for him throughout the camp. But until now, I can't find him anywhere."
Ai Luo thought for a while and said with some hesitation: "Could it be... that he ran into the mine alone and wanted to hunt the corpse eaters alone to get the gold?"
Whiskey rubbed his hands and nodded: "We thought so at first, but then we saw that his equipment and sword were all well placed, and he didn't look like he was going out to fight. I didn't believe he could tear food apart with his bare hands.
Corpse person. Besides, the weather is getting colder now. If a person goes outside and doesn't come back for three days, our whole camp will become noisy!"
"After all, Captain Muppet can be regarded as a close confidant of Count Garp. If you think about it, a close confidant suddenly disappeared without even informing the Count. What happened here is really big or small! So now the Count is very angry and demands
Get this guy back quickly! For this, the count even offered 100 gold coins as reward."
This is indeed a big problem.
The sudden disappearance of a close confidant only represents two possibilities.
One is that one's cronies are suddenly killed. And since the other party can kill your cronies without anyone noticing, it means that they can easily kill you. The act of killing your cronies is undoubtedly a warning.
To prevent you from doing certain things or to do certain things.
The other is that a close confidant who knows too many of his secrets and scandals rebels and switches to the camp of a hostile force with a lot of unfavorable news about him.
No matter which of the above situations is the case, this means that there is a big problem now! In comparison, Arrow feels that the current Count Garp would prefer that the puppet captain got drunk and rolled into a gold mine and was eaten.
The zombies would be happier if they were torn into pieces.
"Well, this is indeed a big problem."
As he was talking, the four members Brad, Buffy, Coco and Cream outside the door also finished their work and went home. As soon as Cream entered the door, he said: "President, what's going on outside? There are soldiers everywhere arranging inspections...
…ah."
After seeing the whiskey here, Cream stopped talking. Especially when they saw the solemn eyes of their president, they all knew that the current situation might not be good.
"Pack it up, let's go out to find someone. The count paid a hundred gold coins to ask us to bring back the missing puppet."
"Puppet? That soldier who seems to have a bad temper and is also very greedy?"
When it comes to puppets, Coco's face is not very good-looking. This is not surprising, this little girl does not seem to have a good look on people with a little bit of status. From another perspective, is this little girl considered a
A very power-hating child?
Ai Luo nodded: "No matter what, we can't live with money. I know everyone has worked hard all day, but I still ask everyone to work harder and work harder. If you earn these 100 gold coins, I will give you a bonus."
.”
Money is secondary to this task.
More importantly, the disappearance of the puppets is also a trouble for Arrow.
As I said before, every businessman does not want anything to happen to the person he is bribing, because that would mean the rebuilding of the relationship network and huge instability.
Therefore, their guild really wants to find this person as soon as possible.
Ai Luo simply packed up and put on his equipment bag, food and water. After everyone had finished wearing their equipment, he immediately followed Whiskey out of the guild and headed to the military camp.
As soon as you walk onto the street, you can immediately feel the tension in the surrounding atmosphere. Soldiers coming and going are conducting various inspections, almost door-to-door searches. Every citizen who has not had time to go home will be stopped and questioned.
Fan. According to this inspection situation, it would probably take about ten minutes to walk a hundred meters.
Thanks to the title of Whiskey Guide and the official cooperative guild, Mermaid Song walked out of the town without any hindrance, got on the carriage and headed for the camp.
As soon as we entered the camp, the nervousness became even more intense.
Whiskey pointed to Count Garp's tent over there and said, "Shall we go and talk to the Count first?"
"No, we don't have time, let's go find someone first."
Since Arrow said so, Whiskey also led everyone to the camp where the puppet team was staying. After chatting with the team members for a while, Arrow found that they didn't know much. Looking at the tent where the puppets are currently staying,
Nothing inside really moved. It looked like it had suddenly disappeared.
"Um……"
Ai Luo squatted in the camp and looked at the bed that looked very messy.
Cream from behind walked up and said, "It looks like he suddenly got up and left while he was sleeping? Captain, did you suddenly remember something?"
Ai Luo thought for a while and said: "Since we got up in the middle of the night, the toilet should be the most likely possibility. Mr. Whiskey, have you checked the toilet?"
Whiskey: "We have searched, and we have searched in all the places we should look for. I am afraid we have looked at the toilet several times in the past three days, but unless this guy fell directly into the manure pit and drowned, where on earth could he go?
Ai Luo shook his head: "Anyway, let's go to the toilet first. Um... By the way, how are you doing with your hygiene work?"
Whiskey: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
Ai Luo smiled: "It's nothing, I just feel that your camp has no smell. Generally speaking, places where so many people gather will always have a strange smell."
After saying this, Ai Luo regretted a little, because Whiskey was looking at him with a strange look.
Hmm... maybe men don't think the smell of sweat when many men gather together and make a fuss is a strange smell, right?
Seeing this, Ai Luo quickly changed the subject: "Anyway, let's go check out the toilet first."
After leaving the tent, led by Whiskey, everyone came to a pit on the east side of the camp. Here, dry toilets were simply built with wood and cloth. There were piles of excavated soil next to them, and they were buried directly after the work was done.
thing.
Now, the sky is very dark, and torches are starting to be lit in the camp. But such light is obviously not convenient for searching around. Moreover, the dry toilet is only surrounded by a piece of cloth, and it doesn't look like it can accommodate a person in it.
It looked like he was hiding for three days.
Zhizhi——
Just when Ai Luo hesitated to walk in and take a look, a slight voice sounded from not far away.
Turning around, I saw a small hook-toothed rat hiding in the darkness of the fire. After seeing Airo and others looking at it, the hook-toothed rat not only did not run away, but rushed towards the toilet.
, suddenly got into the curtain, and seemed to be planning to camp in this dry toilet.
"Coco, summon your undead soldiers."
Coco was stunned for a moment, but still waved the staff.
Soon, the undead soldiers holding rainbow swords were ready. Ai Luo pointed at the curtain and said: "Open it, be careful."
Coco nodded, the staff moved slightly, and the undead soldier quickly stepped forward, stretched out his bony hand, and pulled down the covering curtain.
no problem.
Behind the curtain is a dry toilet covered with wooden boards. When it is convenient, you can lift the wooden board, throw in the sand, and then cover it with the wooden board. This homemade toilet is often used during marches.
Whiskey was a little confused: "President Arrow, what on earth do you want to do? After all, we haven't dug this hole very deep. It's impossible for the puppets to hide in there, right?"
Ai Luo shook his head and pointed at the wooden board: "Coco, be careful. Open the board and force out the hook-toothed rat inside."
At the same time, he turned to Whiskey aside and said: "Generally speaking, small monsters like hook-toothed rats will want to run away immediately after seeing us humans. But the one just now ran into the distance in front of us.
In the nearby cesspit. I bet there must be something hidden in it. Coco, do it!"
Coco nodded, and she didn't dare to be careless under Ai Luo's instructions. The undead soldier over there put on a fighting posture, stretched out the rainbow sword and slowly approached the board. The sword blade was only about half a meter away from the board.
At this moment, the Rainbow Light Sword suddenly thrust out to open the wooden board, and at the same time thrust it inside!
