"Qingquan Town is ahead. There must be some clues of the strange bird left around. Let's split up and look for it carefully."

Amber suggested.

"By the way, the nuns left elemental marks on the artifacts stolen by the strange bird. You can use elemental vision to view them."

"Ying, you should be able to use elemental vision, right?"

Amber reminded Ying that she could use elemental vision, but immediately remembered that not everyone who could use elements could use elemental vision, so Amber asked uncertainly.

"Well, I know how to use elemental vision. Don't worry, let's act quickly. It will be bad if the opponent runs away again."

Ying nodded and replied.

"Okay, I'll look over there, Ying, you guys just go this way."

Amber said, pointing to one path, then another.

"No problem! Don't worry, Amber!"

Paimon patted his chest and assured.

"Ying, check quickly to see if there are any traces of residual elements nearby!"

After Amber walked away, Paimon immediately started to urge Ying.

"Let me see......"

"Go this way first."

Ying used the elemental vision to take a look and indeed found some traces of residual elements.

"Twigs?"

"What's wrong with this?"

Paimon looked at Ying in confusion.

"No, there are just some tiny elements left on the path, so tiny that it's hard to detect."

Ying said thoughtfully.

"What I mean is, this branch is just an ordinary branch. There is nothing unusual about it. You are overthinking it, Paimon."

Tan Ningsu continued.

"Paimon understands!"

Paimeng puffed up his little face and punched Tan Ningsu.

"Go this way into the woods."

Ying continued.

"The ground is... pieces of torn cloth?"

Tan Ningsu said uncertainly.

As soon as they entered the woods, the three noticed something in the grass that didn't match the color of the surrounding area. When they got closer, they saw that it was a piece of clothing that had been scratched off.

"There are still traces of wind elements left on the cloth."

Ying took a closer look and said.

"Put it away first and let Amber identify it later. I don't think it looks like a piece of clothing."

Ying gave his own opinion.

"Uh-huh!"

The two pendants nodded repeatedly.

"Let's keep going."

Following the traces of the elements, the three of them passed through the woods and came to the side of the Fruit Wine Lake, where they saw Amber not far ahead.

"Amber!"

Paimon shouted loudly, waving his hands.

"You are here."

Amber looked at the three people with a serious expression.

"This is the clue we just found, but we can't be sure of the material."

After walking to Amber's side, Ying gave the scraps of cloth she had just picked up to Amber for inspection.

"Hmm...Looking at the pattern and the way it's woven, it should be a fragment of the Wings of Wind."

Amber thought about it and gave the answer.

"You can tell that? You're worthy of being a scout knight!"

Paimon said in great shock.

"If it was really a strange bird that stayed here... then its wind wings should have been broken during the previous hunt."

Amber thought further.

"By the way, Amber, what were you looking at?"

Paimon remembered the solemn expression on Amber's face when he saw her just now.

This is super rare!

“Look at this mark.”

Amber pointed to the ground.

"Hmm... it was left by the wind slime..."

Paimon said, stroking his chin in thought.

"Or was it left by a strange bird?"

Tan Ningsu continued to add to what Paimon said.

"The wind slime is floating most of the time. Unless someone steps on it and takes off, it won't leave such a trace."

Amber explained.

"......Amber, you know so much about this. Could it be that someone has really used wind slime to do this?!"

Paimon made a bold guess since Amber was so familiar with this trace.

"...Ahem. Anyway, this is a very clear trace. Let's write it down first."

Amber coughed lightly and changed the subject.

"The traces of the remaining elements are pointing forward. Let's continue following the traces."

"Yeah, let's go then!"

Paimon was quickly distracted by Amber.

Tan Ningsu and Ying stood by, holding their foreheads helplessly.

Paimon's attention was easily diverted...

Without us, how did Paimon survive alone?

The four of them had only taken a few steps when they heard a noise coming from the front.

"Hey, there seems to be some movement ahead..."

Paimon asked doubtfully, and put himself behind Ying.

"It sounds like a battle. Could it be a strange bird?!"

"Hurry, let's go over there!"

It's rare to see new clues, Amber said excitedly.

The four of them hurried forward along the path.

I saw several Hillilchur people surrounding a Mond citizen.

Amber and Ying immediately rescued the trapped citizens and fought off the Hillbillies.

"Great! They're from the Knights of Favonius!"

"Now, the Hillilchur people shouldn't dare to chase us anymore..."

The person who was rescued said with a look of relief.

"Hello, I'm the Scout Knight Amber, and these two are the Honor Knights. May I ask what happened?"

Amber introduced herself to the person in front of her.

"My name is Farah, and I'm a fruit vendor."

"I don't know why, but I seem to be a bit unlucky today... Our convoy was suddenly attacked by the Hillichul people. Fortunately, we ran fast."

Farah survived the robbery and said with a headache in his tone.

Bad luck, so bad luck!

There has never been a problem before...

"Hicchu people attack?"

"But the nearby Hilichurls' camps have almost all been cleared out by the Knights, right?"

“I’ve participated in it before…”

Amber frowned in thought.

"It's a very small camp of hill people, not far from the town, but the hill people are usually very well behaved and rarely attack passers-by. Plus, I will deliberately avoid it when I buy goods and set up a stall."

"But today, a strange man suddenly flew down from the sky and landed right in the camp of the Hilliards!"

"All of a sudden, those Hillicorns went wild and ran out after that guy!"

"Then, we were very unlucky to be affected..."

"I did run away, but all my fruit trucks were smashed. How am I going to open my business when the caravan comes tomorrow?"

Farah said with a bitter face.

"Weirdo? What kind of weirdo is he?"

When Amber heard Farah's words, she suspected that the man was the escaped strange bird and immediately asked.

"Well, let me think about it..."

"That person seemed to be holding something when he was flying, and he flew crookedly... Well, it must be because he was holding something that he fell down."

"Really? How did that guy pass the pilot's license test? You are not allowed to carry heavy objects, understand?! When I go back, I will report him and revoke his pilot's license!"

Farah carefully recalled the scene she saw at that time, and said viciously after discovering the truth.

So angry!

Who are they?!
