Chapter 251 Is the source of information reliable?
(Completed, today's 6k update, I hope you enjoy it)
Abes frowned.
Will you know if you let yourself disappear once?
If any other superior heard such a proposal, they would express doubt and confusion.
However, Abes's strength currently seems to be enough to handle most situations.
So he also knew that this was just the outspokenness of the young hunter in front of him, and the other party's trust in his own ability.
However, although he understood, Abes was not someone who would blindly obey.
Therefore, he slowly said, "You mean, you want me to become a missing person too? That sounds a bit ridiculous."
Soran nodded firmly, with a fanatical gleam in his eyes.
"Yes, sir, the only thing that stands in my way to the truth is the difference in power."
"Because according to my guess, the reason why those missing persons have not been found and no news has been passed down is because they are in the etheric plane."
"The etheric plane?"
Abes repeated it, and then subconsciously felt the arm position of his full body armor.
As a custom-made armor for Abeus, every aspect of this task was planned and completed by Kronos.
Originally, Abes thought that it would be a bit more laborious for him to put on the armor, but finally, under Kronos' insistence, he added the function of using magic runes to assist the full body armor so that it could be put on and taken off quickly.
In addition, some "local specialties" of the royal capital's magic industry are of course also reflected in it.
The first is the magic grenade. Inside Abes's armor, there is a position similar to a magazine, which is loaded with these things.
This allows Abes to raise his hand and throw it out at the critical moment when he wants to use it.
Secondly, magic cannon is also within Kronos' consideration.
The huge firepower and excellent range, if it is not taken into consideration, then Abes's battle against Raven Castle will be in vain.
However, the huge improved catapult structure naturally could not be installed inside the armor, but Kronos still helped to transform it into something.
That's the ejection device.
This heavy full-body armor has a catapult device on the back located at the spine.
Its firing state can only be activated after the shoulder and neck safety is anchored.
Generally speaking, when wearing heavy armor, or not wearing armor or even just wearing thick clothes, you will experience the same distress as the muscular men in the gym.
That is because it is not flexible enough, and the spine is definitely not capable of performing large movements.
In order to avoid accidental touch, and also because the large space on the back can increase the storage space of the catapult device and enhance its power, placing it on the spine is the best choice.
If you don't choose to throw those grenades manually, you can also use the catapult device to launch them.
Although it cannot match the range and power of the magic cannon, it is also a means of combat.
And there is another item, which is Eldenite.
The magical little stones have long been inlaid in batches on magic arm armor. They are an excellent material that allows individual soldiers to move as fast as a wizard. How can they not be inlaid on the armor customized for Lord Abes?
Although the principle of this thing is still unclear, there is no doubt that if the etheric plane is mentioned, then this special mineral with a similar effect to the Mysterious Step can help Abes.
"And you, Lord Qian Zhongzhan, possess unparalleled power. If it were you, even if the target point was in another plane..."
Abes was listening from the side, feeling somewhat shaken.
He knew that among these missing people there was a group of adventurers with special skills. In other words—
It’s a whole team of extraordinary people!
It was not a somewhat ordinary force like Abes and his companions that were put together by chance, but a team of adventurers with good coordination and division of labor.
If we can find and rescue them, it might be a huge favor.
With this power in hand, if no major unexpected situation occurs, it can even become a force guarantee to change the entire situation around Carterburg.
"But," Abes pondered for a moment and continued, "Passive disappearance and active disappearance are two completely different concepts. What is the process of those people's disappearance? Do you really know?"
The reason why the missing persons trouble made Ivan, the leader of Carterburg, so worried that he even spent a huge sum of money to hire extraordinary people to take charge, and he did it twice, wasn't it because the principles, processes and results were all unclear, so he could only choose the safest way to deal with it as much as possible?
If we could clearly understand how they disappeared, we would probably be only one step away from deducing a method to save and rescue them.
However, in front of Abes' eyes, the young hunter tightly grasped the small bag, obviously prepared for this question.
He pulled a piece of ancient parchment from his bag.
"I got some help and was about to try one or two..."
----------
After all, the wilderness and forest are not the place to conduct research. After finishing the work, Abes and Anivia followed Soran back to Carterburg.
However, this time, the young hunter who returned to Carterburg did not hide in a sneaky way, nor did he wait until dark as usual to return. Instead, he walked in through the gate corridor of Carterburg quite openly.
Soran's face was filled with excitement that was hard to conceal. His steps were brisk, as if he had become much lighter.
Abes and Anivia followed closely behind.
The guards at the city gate naturally remembered the look of Abes's full body armor.
However, after recognizing Soran, they looked at him with a little surprise, looking at this guy who had obviously suddenly become a new person.
"Hey, you're back so early today?" a guard soldier teased.
In response, Soran just smiled and said, "I have gained something special today, so I don't want to waste time outside the fortress city."
The gain that Soran was referring to was, of course, because he met Abes and the others, and was sure that they were the people he could trust, and knew that he might be only one step away from finding the truth.
However, for the ordinary soldiers who did not know the relationship between Soran and their leader Ivan, if a hunter said he had a "harvest", what else could it be but prey?
However, seeing that he was still dressed in a light and neat manner and didn't seem to be carrying anything, how could he have caught any prey?
So, the guards smiled at each other, obviously thinking that this useless hunter in front of them was lying.
Soran ignored them and strode into the fortress city.
The hustle and bustle of the market and the busy figures of the people came towards me. It turned out that when I didn’t return to Carterburg on weekdays, such a fortress city as a trade center would be like this on weekdays?
These scenes, which he had never had the chance to see before, made Soran feel inexplicably satisfied.
It was as if a fugitive could finally show his face openly and no longer had to hide.
Although, it was he who set the goal so high, and it was he who positioned the goal as a monster that ordinary people could not handle and that only extraordinary people could fight against.
Maybe this is just what you deserve?
Fortunately, at this last moment, as if his luck was delayed and stacked, he met an absolutely top-notch strongman - Lord Qianchongzhan, who could kill four ogres in an extremely short time.
After drawing such a trump card, Sauron felt that the truth was beckoning to him.
However, when Soran took Abes and the others through the market and were about to return to Soran's residence in Carterburg, a group of thugs blocked their way.
The leading man crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Soran with a sneer.
Soran frowned.
He recognized the guy in front of him. It seemed that the other party was punished by Uncle Ivan for stealing in the market.
only……
He had never easily revealed his relationship with Uncle Ivan. Even the soldiers didn't know about his relationship with Uncle Ivan. Why did the guy in front of him come to him?
Soran calmed himself down and quickly scanned the faces of the gangsters, trying to find some clues.
The leading man’s name was…what was it?
As if he knew what Soran was thinking, the leading man sneered and took a step forward. His gaze lingered on Abes and Anivia for a moment before finally returning to Soran.
"I heard a few days ago that you got a very interesting piece of black jade, and I am interested in buying it, so I have sent someone to inform you."
"So, you didn't respond to my letter? You even threw it into the trash?"
After hearing these words, Soran realized who the man in front of him was and what he was here for.
[Black Jade] is another important piece of evidence that I found when I was searching for the truth behind the disappearance case, in addition to the strangely shaped footprints, white hair, and broken teeth.
Such a thing was originally going to be given to Uncle Ivan for safekeeping, but in the end, Sauron, who felt that there was some strange sensation, kept it.
But I don’t know how a group of gangsters got to know that I had a piece of black jade.
With an arrogant tone, they dropped a "notification letter" that appeared to be a transaction but was actually a robbery.
As for this, Sauron would not tolerate it. Naturally, he threw the so-called letter directly into the trash can in front of those gangsters.
But he didn't expect that the person who wrote to him asking for the black jade was the guy who was punished by Uncle Ivan.
What he didn't expect was that he would come to his own residence in person to block him?
Behind him, Lord Qian Zhongzhan's expression was still locked inside his helmet, but Soran seemed to be able to feel the burning eyes behind the steel.
Therefore, he ignored the gang of hooligans in front of him and turned to apologize to Qian Zhongzhan and Anivia, "I'm sorry, this happened suddenly, and I didn't expect to encounter such a situation."
And his action just added fuel to the fire of the other party's emotions.
"OI, OI, OI! I'm talking to you!"
"I was only away for a few days, and you're suddenly so awesome?"
"You even came back with two guards. Is this to prevent anyone from causing trouble for you?"
Soran took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
At the same time, he kept looking back, repeatedly confirming whether the words of the guy in front of him had irritated the two adults behind him?
After receiving a sigh and a glance from Anivia, Soran knew that he should warn the guy in front of him.
"So you're the Ron who wrote to force me to buy the black jade..." Soran's voice was calm, but there was a hint of warning in it, "I don't have time to waste with a thief."
