Chapter 567 Development(1/2)
In short, there is no need to rush the matter of earth veins.
Anyway, more than ten years have passed, and I don’t care if it takes a few more days.
Another day passed, and everyone in the village was still so peaceful and peaceful, with everyone performing their duties.
But Bai Qiyun always felt that the originally silent village had become a lot more deserted, and he didn't know if it was his imagination.
"ha..."
The boy yawned and planned to continue the work he failed to finish yesterday.
He came to the door of the tourist's room early in the morning and waited for the people inside to come out.
The sea breeze in the early morning still felt a little chilly on her body, and even Yandora shivered subconsciously.
The little one is the most afraid of the cold among all people. After all, the cold restrains her existence by nature.
After waiting for a long time, a groan finally came from the room. It seemed that the man had just gotten up.
Bai Qiyun didn't bother him, and still stood outside the door minding his own business.
It wasn't until another ten minutes that the visitor's door was opened.
"Uh-huh?"
That person was not Dolha who introduced himself on the passenger ship, but another young passenger.
His expression looked much more depressed than before, and the corners of his eyes were still droopy, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
Maybe it's because I stayed up late last night.
"Who are you..."
"I have something to ask you two... eh? Isn't Mr. Dorha here?"
Listening to Bai Qiyun's question, the young man's face became more panicked.
Although he quickly covered it up, the flash of expression still did not escape Bai Qiyun's eyes.
There seems to be a problem.
Bai Qiyun's heart moved and he stopped dwelling on this matter.
"He went out for something."
"Oh, it seems that Mr. Dorha went out very early."
The sun has not yet fully risen in the sky, and the reason given by the young man is becoming more and more puzzling.
"But I'm not here to find him. I would like to ask if the tour guide you two are looking for is here. I saw that he didn't seem to have returned to his room yesterday. I'm afraid something might have happened."
As soon as he said this, the young man's face turned pale again.
This is no longer something Bai Qiyun wants to ignore if he doesn't see it.
"Sir? Are you okay?"
"Ah... no, I'm fine."
The young man quickly regained his composure and smiled at the young man in front of him.
"We were busy with our luggage yesterday and didn't pay much attention to the tour guide."
"Yeah."
Bai Qiyun asked a few more questions, but still didn't get any useful information, so he had to leave first.
Returning to everyone who had finished eating, Kujo Sora took the initiative to greet them.
"How about it."
The only answer she received was the boy's shake of his head.
"But I am certain that something happened on the island."
"How can I see it?"
"They are all avoiding us."
"Um?"
Kujo Sora didn't understand what the boy meant, and his golden pupils flashed with doubt.
Seeing this, Bai Qiyun explained.
"Our identity was revealed by the adventurers on the ship. The rest of the guests basically had ulterior motives, so they would avoid us when doing things to avoid being disturbed."
"Isn't this normal now?"
Hearing this, Bai Qiyun shook his head.
"No, normally the more those ordinary people try to avoid us, the more obvious their traces will be, but now someone has completely disappeared in front of us, which means..."
"It means that the person is probably dead."
When Ying answered the boy's words, the content shocked Paimon.
The little guy turned around in the air and hid behind the girl, as if this would give her a sense of security.
Bai Qiyun neither denied nor affirmed this, as if he had acquiesced.
The blonde girl's expression remained unchanged, as if she didn't care about the murder happening next to her.
"Of course, we can't be sure if someone is dead. It's possible that they got lost in the woods. Even if someone dies, it may not be the fault of someone on the island. It could also be something like a wild wolf in the woods.
"
Thinking of the wild wolf footprints he met in the woods that day, Bai Qiyun had some speculations in his mind, but he had no conclusion yet.
"Then what are we going to do today, find someone? Or continue to look for clues about the Lord of the Rings?"
Kujo Sora threw the question out like a stone thrown into the water.
Bai Qiyun did not answer in a hurry, but turned his attention to Darcy, who had been silent.
This reporter from Fontaine is the client, and it is better for her to decide on this matter.
Darcy was also in a bit of trouble at this time. She definitely wanted to investigate the news about the Lord of the Rings, but would it appear that she was a little cold-blooded if she didn't let them search for the missing people?
Seemingly seeing through the dilemma in her heart, Bai Qiyun nodded and helped her make a decision.
"Then let's continue searching for the Lord of the Rings. After all, there is no threat to our existence on this island. Even if someone does die, it is the Knights' business."
Everything is still focused on the commission in front of you.
As soon as these words came out, Darcy breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Qiyun nodded secretly, feeling that he might be following the other person's wishes.
Also, the year-end assessment is no small matter. She also spent a lot of money to invite them, so she can't waste her time on others.
"That's fine."
The leader makes a decision, and the rest of the members just need to implement it.
After breakfast, the group went into the woods again.
By coincidence, they met the three adventurers from before.
"Ah! It's an honorary knight!"
"Lord Knight of Honor, tell us your story again!"
They were chattering non-stop, and Bai Qiyun asked them to follow a few people.
Now that they knew there was danger on the island, they couldn't leave these three people alone.
Looking at them, they look no different from ordinary people who have no strength to restrain themselves.
Bai Qiyun thought of his first trip away from home. It was obvious that these guys were still far behind.
He doesn't even have any means of self-protection, and even with a few iron rods in his hand, he can deal with the slimes, but even the Qiuqiu people may not be able to defeat them.
"Um?"
As I was thinking about it, my eyes passed over the trees in front of me, and a hurried figure flashed through the forest.
It was the young man who had just met in the morning.
Do you dare to go into the woods alone at this time?
He should have known something was wrong with his companion.
Bai Qiyun's heart moved and he called out to Jiu Jiao Shuo Luo.
"I'll take the first step, and you can follow the team and continue to look for clues."
"oh..."
After that, the young man's figure flashed and disappeared instantly under the cover of the tree trunks, without attracting anyone's attention.
The young man rushed toward the west of the woods, and Bai Qiyun followed him silently without making a sound.
The soles of their shoes stepped on the wet ground, and the two of them walked toward the depths of the woods one after the other.
To be continued...
