Middle-earth Raiders Full Plan
Chapter 80
Early the next morning, Anila and Legolas packed up their things, and when they went downstairs to have breakfast, they saw Hans and his friends again.
"Your father is forcing you to marry again, Hans?" cried one.
"Tch, ignore him!" Hans blushed again early in the morning.
"Don't you know our mayor yet? I think if you keep refusing to promise him like this, he will never end. Don't you go home every day?"
This Hans is the son of the mayor?Anila rested her chin and listened to the conversation over there.
"I didn't say I didn't want to get married!" Hans complained loudly, "but I have to choose who to marry, right? What's wrong with Alice? She's beautiful, generous, gentle and considerate! It's my father who looks down on others, he himself Being managed by my mother for the rest of my life, she still wants to push me into the pit of fire, too!"
Everyone began to comfort him in a hurry.
"Okay, don't mention that troublesome thing, drink and drink." Hans waved his hand carelessly, and raised his glass again.
"Hey, Mayor Pierce has a bad temper." The tavern owner brought bread and sausages. There were not many people at this time, and he had nothing to do, so he simply started gossiping and told Anila and the others who were sitting at the bar. This little thing about Tehapua.
Pierce, the current mayor of Tehapua Town, has a son named Hans. Seeing that his son is in his twenties in recent years, he thought about finding a marriage for him.
Although Hans was spoiled by his mother since he was a child, he is lazy and vain, but his heart is not bad, and he is in love with Alice, one of the most beautiful girls in the town, and he heard his father say that he should get married , I happily mentioned the matter between myself and Alice to Mayor Pierce. I wanted to get the beauty back smoothly, but I didn't expect Mayor Pierce to disagree with anything.
When the mayor of Tehapua was still Pierce's grandfather, Tehapua was just one of the countless poor villages and towns in the vast Eliad area, until Pierce's father, Hans' grandfather When he became the mayor of the town, he had a smart and powerful daughter-in-law, who was Hans' grandma.Hans' grandfather was hard-working, and his grandmother was shrewd and careful. Thanks to the efforts of the couple, Tehapua Town has become the prosperous place it is today.
When he came to Hans' father, Pierce, he also learned that his father had married the smart and capable mother Hans. Sure enough, with the help of his wife, he also managed the town of Tehapua in an orderly manner.
Therefore, according to Mayor Pierce's thinking, his son Hans should also marry a good wife who can help him, and he has chosen for his son, Monica, the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the town.
However, his son is not like himself in other aspects, but his stubborn temper is completely inherited, saying that he will not marry unless Alice in his life.As for Alice, she is beautiful, but she is just the daughter of a poor farmer in the town, with big breasts and no brains, and she is not in the right family with Hans. Of course, the mayor of Pierce will not do it.
The father and son turned their faces, and Hans ran away from home in a fit of anger. He had many cronies and friends, and he didn't have to worry about where to go.
This scene of being beaten by a mandarin duck and simply running away from home because of the wrong door sounds familiar, Anila glanced at Legolas.
What do you see me doing?Legolas expressed this with puzzled eyes.
"It's okay." Anila laughed dryly, "I'm full."
"Then get ready—" Legolas hadn't finished speaking when suddenly someone broke into the tavern out of breath.
"Big, big news!" He took the water handed by others, drank it, and said loudly before he could recover, "Monica is missing!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked, "Which Monica?"
"Any other Monicas? How many Monicas does Tehapua have?"
"Oh my god." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. In a small town with less than a thousand people, the loss of one person is a big deal. "What's going on?"
"Then I don't know. I just heard that Monica didn't know where she went three nights ago, and she hasn't come back until now. Now their house is in a mess. They are looking for someone everywhere. It is said that if they can find someone, There is a reward of two hundred gold coins!"
"Good guy!" Everyone said in unison, two hundred gold coins was not a small amount to them, and only the rich and powerful Monica's family could afford it.
Legolas was indifferent to this, and stood up after the people in the tavern had almost left: "It's time for us to set off, Velodis."
"..." Anila didn't move for a long time. After pondering for a while, she looked up at Legolas, "Let's help find someone too."
"Huh?" Although he had a vague premonition that Anila might be nosy, Legolas was still surprised, "For those two hundred gold coins?"
"Of course money is very important, but of course I'm not just looking for two hundred gold coins!" Anila's eyes widened.
"Then what does this have to do with us?" Legolas asked, "It's not like no one is looking for it."
"A girl is missing, so the sooner you can find it, the better!" Anila did not give in. "Besides, Tehapua is well connected, and there are many people coming and going every day. It's not peaceful. What if something happens..."
"I understand that you always want to help when you see this kind of thing, Velodis, but we are not out to play in the mountains and rivers." Legolas said with a frown, "We still have to find Nu What about Manor Ranger, how can he spend time here?"
"Didn't I also say that, we don't know their exact location, so there's no rush to find someone." In fact, the longer the delay, the better, she still didn't know how to explain to Legolas that they wanted One of those he was looking for was right in front of him.
"Then do we really have to sit on the sidelines all the time? According to what you say, why should I come out? It's better to stay in the dark forest all the time, in case Iluli passes by someday."
"...I don't care, I'm going to find someone anyway." Anila rarely played her temper.
"Velodys, you..." Legolas didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You really don't know the priority."
"Where am I not prioritizing? It's the same looking for someone, so why should it be the priority to find Iluli and the traveler who don't know where they are, and the second is to find a woman whose life or death is uncertain?" Anila was also anxious, "You have to worry, you can go alone! Anyway, Iliad is only this big!"
What is Eriador is so big!The area west of the Misty Mountains all belongs to the Eliad region, okay? !Legolas was too angry to complain about her. "You said you were going to take me to the Ranger of Númenor, how could you go back on your word?"
"Are you embarrassed to say it? Although I am your guide in name, have you ever paid me a copper coin? Not only that, but you also spent my money on your food! Of course I said everything never mind."
"..." So in the end it's a matter of money, "Snob."
"Human society is like this, learn a little bit, my lord." Anila said triumphantly, "Okay, now let's go to Miss Monica's house."
Monica's house was deserted, and all the servants were sent out to find someone. No one stopped Anila when she entered, and only Monica's mother was sitting in the room crying.It is said that Monica's father passed away a few years ago, and Monica is taking care of the Wanguan family property. It is no wonder that Mayor Pierce thinks this girl is capable.
"Ma'am? Sorry to bother you." Anila knocked on the door lightly. "I came here to learn about Miss Monica."
Monica's mother stopped crying and looked at Anila and Legolas in surprise: "Who are you?"
"We are travelers staying in Tehapua, and we happened to encounter this incident, so we thought it would be nice if we could help. I'm a ranger, so I can track it—"
Before Anila finished speaking, Monica's mother changed her face: "Ranger? I have seen them a few times, and they all have gloomy faces, as if the sky is about to fall. It's scary."
Anila paused for two seconds before showing a relaxed smile again: "Actually, it's my friend. This elf wants to help you."
"Elf?" Monica's mother noticed Legolas behind Anila, and suddenly felt that she was in a desperate situation, and hugged Legolas' arm as if grabbing the last straw , "Oh my god, it's really an elf! Great! My daughter will definitely be found now."
Compared with rangers, elves are completely positive characters, and are even regarded as lucky stars by humans.
Legolas got goosebumps where he was touched by the human woman, and it took a lot of effort not to shake her off.
"Then now, can you tell me and my friend Miss Monica some characteristics, and what unusual things happened before she disappeared?" Anila quickly seized the opportunity to ask.
Monica's mother wiped the corners of her eyes and mentioned some of Monica's appearance characteristics, but she didn't give any useful information other than that, she only said that it is normal for Monica to go out from time to time because of business reasons , so she didn't pay more attention, until Monica didn't come home for three days without any news, and when she asked the servants, no one knew where she had gone, so she became anxious.
"Maybe some gang of thieves took a fancy to our family's money and kidnapped Monica!" Monica's mother became more and more frightened as she thought about it.
"Isn't it because you haven't received a threatening letter? How could someone kidnap someone for money but not ask for a ransom?" Anila comforted her.
"Then... Could it be that I encountered a half-orc, my God..." Monica's mother turned paler.
"..." Anila decided to keep silent about this situation of talking too much and making mistakes, "Can we borrow your family's account book, ma'am?"
"Ah, please feel free." Monica's mother muttered in a daze.
"Do you have any ideas, Legolas?" Anila asked casually as she walked out of Monica's house.
"What can I think," Legolas replied, "Anyway, Eriador is only this big, so let's look for it one by one."
"..." This narrow-minded, Anila didn't bother to complain about him, "Okay, let's go."
"Where?"
"Jack's wine cellar. According to Monica's ledger, she did her last business there on the day she disappeared."
Anila and Legolas rushed to Jack's house, but Jack was not there, probably looking for someone, but his pregnant wife was sitting at the door of the wine cellar, knitting a sweater.
"Monica? Yes, she did come to us that evening, are we the last to see her?" The young woman with a big belly looked terrified, "But I swear we didn't do anything wrong We're only selling her fifty barrels of wine, and that's fine wine, my lord."
"Okay, I see." Anila nodded in response, "Then she didn't show any abnormalities?"
"Ah, speaking of it, Monica seemed to be a little distracted that day, and she paid the price hastily without asking us to lower the price. This is not her style." Recalling the situation that day, the young woman said.
"Thank you for the information," Anila said. "Anything else?"
"No more." The young woman shook her head.
"That's it." Anila secretly observed the expression of the young woman, but asked seemingly casually, "Miss Monica, how is your relationship with the villagers in the town on weekdays?"
"Who doesn't know that Monica is a strong woman, even men have to be afraid of her?" The young woman said, "But with so much money in the family, it's not easy for her to support her alone. Not as good as before."
"I see." Anila nodded, "Thank you, I won't bother you."
This trip did not get any clear clues, and the two had no choice but to return to Monica's house.
"What's next? Where are we going?" Legolas looked at Anila intently.
Anila gave him a hard look, and then sighed: "Now we can only try our luck."
"What? Do you really want to search one by one?"
Anila gave him a white look: "Think about it, what would a rich woman do if she left quietly at night without a servant, without notifying anyone? Obviously, she was not Going somewhere she shouldn't be, doing things she shouldn't be doing, or both."
Legolas nodded, "So?"
"That's why I said we can only try our luck." Anila sighed again, "Let's go to the West Market in Tehapua."
The West Market in Tehapua is, to put it bluntly, a black market, and there are many shady activities in the dark.Anila gets there, looks around, and walks into a casino.
There were not many people in the casino today, and the gamblers were always short of money, and it seemed that they all went to Monica in hopes of getting the bounty.
Among the scattered people, there was a man who paid special attention, because he was almost raped, but he still insisted on gambling, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked really scary.
Others were laughing at him: "Enough is enough, if you continue to gamble, you will start to gamble your life."
"Shut up! If you want to bet, you can bet, what have I, Christian, been afraid of?!" the man shouted, "One more game!"
"But you only have one pair of underwear left!"
"Then I'll bet on the underwear!"
"Who wants your underwear that hasn't been changed in weeks?" Everyone laughed again.
"Then I'll bet a finger!"
Legolas couldn't take it anymore: "What are we doing here, Velodis? Let's go."
Anila ignored him and walked straight over: "How about counting me in the next round?"
Of course, everyone didn't mind, and asked happily: "Big or small?"
"What do you think?" Anila asked Christian.
Christian gave her a strange look: "Big."
"That's big." Anila said, taking out a gold coin as a bet.
Needless to say, Anila played ten games in a row. Whatever Christian gambled, she followed suit. She won ten games in a row, and the others couldn't laugh anymore.
"You are really lucky, big sister." They said with a forced smile, and each of them made excuses and quickly retreated.
"Coward! Coward! Why do you bet if you can't afford to lose?!" Christian shouted to their backs. He didn't look happy that he won the clothes and gold coins back, but seemed annoyed that he couldn't continue to gamble. After giving Anila an angry look, he muttered something and went to drink.
"You scoundrel." Legolas said angrily.
Anila looked normal and asked him: "You need money to gamble so much, why don't you go find the missing Monica to get the bounty?"
Christian was choked, coughing and cursing: "What? That bitch is missing, right?"
"You do not know?"
"Tch, I only care about whether or not I have a good time gambling, what other people have to do with me?"
Anila frowned slightly: "So you stay here often?"
"Often?" Christian laughed loudly, "Maybe you can treat this place as my house!"
"Then have you seen Monica in West Market?"
"What? I have said that I never care about anything other than gambling!"
"Five gold coins."
"Fifteen."
"make a deal."
"Velodyus!" Legolas jumped angrily, "You don't care about money now? Why are you giving money to this rascal for nothing?"
"Hey, I swear to the God of Gambling that my news is absolutely true, little brother." Christian laughed (where is the God of Gambling? Legolas shouted dissatisfiedly), "The night before yesterday, I was here to see the rich woman."
"What is she doing here?" Anila asked sharply.
"Then who knows? What else can you do here besides gambling?"
"And then? She left?"
"gone."
"Which way are you going?"
"Did not notice."
"I'll give you another ten gold coins."
"Probably in the direction of old farmer Henry's vegetable field."
"Thank you." Anila handed him 25 gold coins, "Let's go, Legolas."
However, the old farmer Henry said that he had never seen Monica the day before yesterday, and the clues were interrupted again.
"Well, maybe what that guy said was a lie." Legolas said despondently.
Anila squatted on the ground and observed with great concentration: "...Here, three people walked by..."
"what?"
"This footprint belongs to old farmer Henry, and this one is obviously a woman's... They are going this way..." Anila fiddled with the field while walking forward on her own, lying down from time to time to check .
"Velodyus!" Legolas followed helplessly.
"They came here one after the other, the woman in front..." Legolas stared for a long time but couldn't see anything wrong with the marks on the ground, but Anila seemed to see those scenes clearly happening before her eyes. "They stopped here for a while...then..."
They walked around a cotton field, and a messy scene loomed in front of them.
"They started fighting...the woman struggled so hard that the heel of her shoe was broken..." Anila's expression became serious, "...this way!"
"..." Legolas was stunned when he saw the ranger's tracking skills for the first time, and when Anila shouted, he followed obediently without any hesitation.
Following Anila's twists and turns, the two came to a piece of wild grass that no one had planted.
"That person tied the woman here...and then..." Anila's expression darkened suddenly, and she ran behind a tree.
Legolas also ran over, gasped: "Iluvita." He bowed his head and prayed silently.
"She's dead." Anila concluded sadly.
Behind the tree, there was a female corpse that had begun to rot, covered with flies.
"Your father is forcing you to marry again, Hans?" cried one.
"Tch, ignore him!" Hans blushed again early in the morning.
"Don't you know our mayor yet? I think if you keep refusing to promise him like this, he will never end. Don't you go home every day?"
This Hans is the son of the mayor?Anila rested her chin and listened to the conversation over there.
"I didn't say I didn't want to get married!" Hans complained loudly, "but I have to choose who to marry, right? What's wrong with Alice? She's beautiful, generous, gentle and considerate! It's my father who looks down on others, he himself Being managed by my mother for the rest of my life, she still wants to push me into the pit of fire, too!"
Everyone began to comfort him in a hurry.
"Okay, don't mention that troublesome thing, drink and drink." Hans waved his hand carelessly, and raised his glass again.
"Hey, Mayor Pierce has a bad temper." The tavern owner brought bread and sausages. There were not many people at this time, and he had nothing to do, so he simply started gossiping and told Anila and the others who were sitting at the bar. This little thing about Tehapua.
Pierce, the current mayor of Tehapua Town, has a son named Hans. Seeing that his son is in his twenties in recent years, he thought about finding a marriage for him.
Although Hans was spoiled by his mother since he was a child, he is lazy and vain, but his heart is not bad, and he is in love with Alice, one of the most beautiful girls in the town, and he heard his father say that he should get married , I happily mentioned the matter between myself and Alice to Mayor Pierce. I wanted to get the beauty back smoothly, but I didn't expect Mayor Pierce to disagree with anything.

Of course, the mayor of Pierce will not do it.
The father and son turned their faces, and Hans ran away from home in a fit of anger. He had many cronies and friends, and he didn't have to worry about where to go.
This scene of being beaten by a mandarin duck and simply running away from home because of the wrong door sounds familiar, Anila glanced at Legolas.
What do you see me doing?Legolas expressed this with puzzled eyes.
"It's okay." Anila laughed dryly, "I'm full."
"Then get ready—" Legolas hadn't finished speaking when suddenly someone broke into the tavern out of breath.
"Big, big news!" He took the water handed by others, drank it, and said loudly before he could recover, "Monica is missing!"

"make a deal."
"Velodyus!" Legolas jumped angrily, "You don't care about money now? Why are you giving money to this rascal for nothing?"
"Hey, I swear to the God of Gambling that my news is absolutely true, little brother." Christian laughed (where is the God of Gambling? Legolas shouted dissatisfiedly), "The night before yesterday, I was here to see the rich woman."
"What is she doing here?" Anila asked sharply.
"Then who knows? What else can you do here besides gambling?"
"And then? She left?"
"gone."
"Which way are you going?"
"Did not notice."
"I'll give you another ten gold coins."
"Probably in the direction of old farmer Henry's vegetable field."
"Thank you." Anila handed him 25 gold coins, "Let's go, Legolas."
However, the old farmer Henry said that he had never seen Monica the day before yesterday, and the clues were interrupted again.
"Well, maybe what that guy said was a lie." Legolas said despondently.
Anila squatted on the ground and observed with great concentration: "...Here, three people walked by..."
"what?"
"This footprint belongs to old farmer Henry, and this one is obviously a woman's... They are going this way..." Anila fiddled with the field while walking forward on her own, lying down from time to time to check .
"Velodyus!" Legolas followed helplessly.
"They came here one after the other, the woman in front..." Legolas stared for a long time but couldn't see anything wrong with the marks on the ground, but Anila seemed to see those scenes clearly happening before her eyes. "They stopped here for a while...then..."
They walked around a cotton field, and a messy scene loomed in front of them.
"They started fighting...the woman struggled so hard that the heel of her shoe was broken..." Anila's expression became serious, "...this way!"
"..." Legolas was stunned when he saw the ranger's tracking skills for the first time, and when Anila shouted, he followed obediently without any hesitation.
Following Anila's twists and turns, the two came to a piece of wild grass that no one had planted.
"That person tied the woman here...and then..." Anila's expression darkened suddenly, and she ran behind a tree.
Legolas also ran over, gasped: "Iluvita." He bowed his head and prayed silently.
"She's dead." Anila concluded sadly.
Behind the tree, there was a female corpse that had begun to rot, covered with flies.
