Chapter 406 Unexpected Accident (23)

"Don't you know that it's about the same as me?"

Ian stared at Xiou with a smile, causing his face to change gradually, from indignation to shame caused by self-exposure in ten seconds.

Xiou sighed, sat back on the log, continued to eat the stone barbecue, and said helplessly: "Okay, I admit that I know all of this...but there is no malice, and I didn't deliberately follow you."

"Anfa and I have known each other for a long time. We are pen pals. He and I made an appointment to meet in a small town west of Indigo Mountain. However, the deadline for the appointment was not reached three days ago. I had no choice but to set off to find his trace."

——You also said that I lied, isn't your lie also a set pattern?

Ian was not moved by this set of rhetoric at all, and even wanted to laugh a little in his heart: "It's exactly the same as Anfa, it's all true information with a lot of false information that sounds true-it's true that they are pen pals. There is no lying, and the language habits are too similar."

And if you look carefully, Ian can still see traces of Anfa's appearance on Xiou's face. They are obviously very close, and they can even borrow their faces, but for some reason they lost the way to communicate with each other.

and many more.

The boy's heart suddenly moved.

——The dragon in front of me claims to be Anfa's friend.

——The dragon that flew out of the Baisen Mountains.

——In the city of Nauman, because of the contention for the "precious things" of the Dragon Cult.

——And in the end, Anfa who claimed to be here to travel and investigate the ancient culture of the mountain people...

Anfa claimed that he came to Nanling because of the ancient aboriginal culture and the clues of the civilization of the pre-epoch. This is indeed not a lie, Ian can see it.

but.

From the Lost Era to 400 years ago, isn't the god worshiped by the mountain people the fifth-level ancient dragon 'Steel Dragon'?

"No, can't you?"

Startled in his heart, although Ian didn't reveal any flaws on the surface, he couldn't help but see the sequence of actions of Anfa and Sister Yingguang in his mind: "Anfa is related to Dragon Worship? This is not very surprising. .”

"Could it be that Sister Reflecting Light is actually following Anfa's whereabouts??

Because the Dragon Worship Sect in Nanling has been active recently, the Huaiguang Church has locked the possibility of missing persons on the Dragon Worship Sect. This is a normal inference.

But Sister Yingguang accidentally found the whereabouts of Anfa related to the Dragon Worship Cult, so she ignored other suspicious areas all the way and came to Lai'an Territory.

Before Ian left Ryan's Territory, he had also talked with Sister Reflecting Light. He knew that there were many places on the Onyx Stone Plain that were more likely to cause disappearances than Ryan's Territory, but Sister Reflecting Light ignored them all the way and came directly to here.

Because the matter was confidential, Sister Yingguang did not tell Ian the reason for her actions, but only said that she had reliable clues and followed them all the way, so she was able to find the evidence of Baron Ryan's evil in the first place.

At that time, the boy was still thinking, Huaiguang Church's intelligence power is really powerful, and it can find the real source so straight.

But now it seems...

"I'm afraid it's not that the blind cat bumped into the dead rats, they all hit them!"

Ian shook his head slightly, and now the clues became clear.

If nothing else happened, Anfa should have something to do with the Dragon Worship Cult. He traveled all the way south just to meet the dragon pen pal in front of him who called himself Xiou.

Because he is really a researcher of indigenous civilization, he planned to go to Le'anland, the symbol of the integration of mountain people and empire, on the way, but he was blocked by the sharp-clawed tiger halfway.

Immediately afterwards, Sister Reflecting Light, who noticed the connection between Anfa and Dragon Worship Cult, also arrived in Lean Territory, which made Baron Leon feel extremely happy—he thought that Sister Reflecting Light would take a long time Only then can I find myself, so I didn't prepare at all, and became nervous and alert.

Coupled with his own arrival, and the movement made by the Dragon Worship in Nauman City, which attracted all the staff of the Institute of Gnosis, this series of factors made the baron determined to start planning as soon as possible.

Immediately afterwards, Anfa noticed that something was wrong with Lean's collar, and after meeting him, he ran away directly.

Sister Yingguang made a mistake and solved the source of the disappearance together with Ian.

Everyone is misunderstanding, but it just happens to solve the whole problem.

But now, after everything has settled, the elf bachelor may have noticed that Sister Reflecting Light has been following her all the way, or maybe she really felt that the atmosphere in the whole Nanling was not right, so she completely hid, so she disappeared, and even broke the relationship with her. means of communication with the outside world.

With the superposition of such elements, this dragon that has a high probability of being related to the Dragon Worship Cult controls the long-range prosthetic body. He ran over and asked himself, who was probably the last person who saw Anfa, if he knew where the elf went? .

Well, it should be added to the current chaos in Nauman City.

If Anfa really had something to do with the Dragon Worship Sect, he might have noticed the chaos in the city ahead of time, so he set off early.

Even...he is one of the 'changes of fate' caused by himself?

"I think you have to go into the mountains and have a look."

Having said that, Ian took a spoonful of broth and drank it, feeling the heat soaking through his whole body.

He said to Xiou, who had already sat back on the log, with a pensive look in his eyes: "He always said that he wanted to study the culture of the mountain people, and you are the mountain people? You probably missed it—he went into the mountain, and you went down the mountain." , it’s that simple, so you can’t find it.”

"Yes."

A word awakened the dreamer, Xiou opened his eyes wide, showing a dazed expression: "I said that I have been chasing him for so long, and his speed is not fast, we should have met a long time ago..."

"I see, thank you very much, Knight Guide, please allow me to retire first!"

"Thank you for the pine cone wild boar you hunted. It was a very hearty meal." Ian watched the back of the other party stand up and lead the pony away, smiled and greeted with the steak in his hand: "I really don't want to leave Next, have you finished your meal?"

"No, thank you for your help." Having said that, the red-haired 'Mountain Man' seemed to remember something, he turned his head and looked at Ian.

Xiou raised his hand with a smile, raised a finger, and said in a mysteriously low voice, "I almost forgot. To express my gratitude, I want to tell you a very important piece of information."

"Besides me, there is another person following you from afar."

"And that person obviously has bad intentions."

Saying so, Xiou waited to see Ian's reaction—this guy's face was full of 'Come and beg me to help you! ' expression, just like a big cat with no bad intentions.

Easier to read than Esengard.

"Thanks for the tip."

The corner of the teenager's mouth was raised, but there was no other reaction: "I will be careful."

The red-haired 'Mountain Man' felt quite bored and left muttering, but before leaving, he still praised Ian's cooking skills.

After the other party left, Ian withdrew his smile. He was eating the steak, but he was thinking about Xiou's last words.

——Besides this guy, there is another malicious person following him.

But only the second energy level.

Of course he also knew this, but compared to the light blue light, the purple light was of course not very conspicuous.

But the other party followed all the way, but never made a move... This made Ian wonder if he should take the initiative to expose the other party.

"Is it the Academy of the Intellect? Or the Court of Nobles? They probably wanted to find out from me about the deputy section chief, but they couldn't be sure if I knew, so they were just looking for opportunities on the way—after all, I He is also a knight, if he accidentally makes a scene, everyone will look bad."

Ian deduced the enemy's target and observed it with the Frost Butterfly, and found that there was always a faint red lingering around him.

Obviously, no matter what method is used to deal with it, the existence that follows him will definitely attack him. There will be a battle between the two sides, and there will be certain risks.

unless……

Arrived in Shuangshu Town by myself.

The light red lingering purple mist remains, announcing the coexistence of danger and opportunity.

"interesting."

Throwing the eaten bones into the fire, Ian laughed: "I'd like to see what 'opportunities' there are in Shuangshu Town."
