Journey to the Half-Elf Plane

"What's wrong? Loki, isn't the mushroom and snake soup to your liking?"

On the other side of the dining table, the owner of the Annunciation Bird spread his hands and said, "I asked you not to deal with these weird wild animals. Look at me and you won't eat these things."

Loki waved his hand, interrupting Old Mandel's chatter.

He obviously remembered something, and his eyes were fixed on the young couple looking for their child outside the window.

The half-elf boy immediately asked: "What's their child's name?"

The boss of Annunciation Bird asked strangely: "Well, who are you talking about?"

"Agernon, Pamela, that child they have been looking for, what is the child's name?"

Old Mandel's wrinkled face thought for a moment before he said, "Well, Fatuna is a girl, a naughty and cute little guy. We all call her, Little Fatuna."

"Poor little Fatuna, maybe because of her naughty nature, the little girl's parents are unwilling to give her a last name..."

In Loki's optic nerve image, a large number of memory videos were suddenly recalled quickly. The images flashed forward rapidly, and finally stopped in the cave not far from the waterfall before he entered Silent Town.

There was a picture daubed on the stone wall, a simple picture of a small house and a family of three, as well as the text that was full of errors, omissions and smearing - 'Dad, mother and little Fatuna are going home. '

Loki slapped his forehead hard, put down the food in his hands and rushed out.

But unfortunately, due to the delay just now, the young couple can no longer be found outside.

The half-elf boy returned to the hotel reluctantly, and asked the owner of the Annunciation Bird again. He found out the home addresses of Ajernon and Pamela, packed his bags, and went to look for this clue.

It was getting late, and by the time Loki found the location of the young couple's home, it was completely dark, and the residents of Silent Town turned into still wax figures again.

But it didn't matter. Loki climbed over the yard of his house, took out a tactical blade and pried open the wooden window, and climbed in.

There was still a little light from an oil lamp burning inside, and the food was ready on the dining table. The host and hostess were sitting at the dining table, waiting for their little daughter to return home.

The anxious expressions on the young couple's faces, as well as their body movements, were instantly frozen in time.

From the kitchen to the living room, Loki carefully looked at the surrounding furniture and items. This was a very ordinary half-elf family. It was almost the same as other small town residents' homes. For the time being, nothing could be seen.

In the visual images of the half-elf boy, while constantly memorizing large-scale images, he is also constantly analyzing possible missing parts of the information.

He found a small bedroom.

Inside is a simple wooden bed, and a simple wooden table next to the window. There are still a few charcoal drawings left on it. The drawings have no art at all. They were obviously drawn by children of a few years old based on their imagination.

However, compared with the crude paintings on the cave walls, it seems that they were painted by the same little girl.

Little Fatuna was right to draw it, but how could she leave the picture in the cave outside?

Of course, other questions are just curiosity. What Loki is most concerned about is, how did little Fatuna leave the Town of Silence?

Loki turned the little girl's bedroom upside down without any guilt. He even slashed the tattered mattress of the simple little bed with a straight knife, and raked out the rags and wadding everywhere.

The house was in such disarray that he finally found a rag doll and a few rudimentary linen clothes for a little girl, but no other clues.

Sitting on the simple wooden bed, Loki tapped his forehead lightly with the tip of his index finger and thought.

On the optic nerve image, rows of information listed clues about Silent Town. He tried to connect these clues, but he couldn't get any answers to escape from Silent Town.

This shows that these clues are not enough, he still has to take the initiative to guess and hypothesize...

At this moment, there was a little feedback from the sonic hearing system, and a strange sound came from the kitchen.

The half-elf boy carefully drew out his tactical claw knife and deliberately used basic stealth skills. However, he rushed out of the bedroom without slowing down much and looked for the place where the noise came from.

Even if he deliberately reduced his voice, Loki's footsteps seemed to be detected one step ahead.

Suddenly, someone left the kitchen and ran out of the house.

Although he didn't see the figure of the person coming, Loki was sure that it must be a child.

The dinner for a family of three on the table was reduced to a small portion, and some of the food had the teeth marks of children on it.

"Little Fatuna, could it be this little girl? Hasn't she already left the town?"

"Could it be this little half-elf girl?"

Loki was filled with doubts, so he didn't dare to relax his steps. While chasing him out, he was also subconsciously controlling the Ultron system.

At the same time, a series of image processing optimization functions such as the sonic hearing system and low-light night vision are turned on to the most minute level, so as not to miss any tracking clues.

But the quantum biocomputer failed him.

The little girl lost her hearing and visual functions one after another.

In the end, he could only rely on the direction the little girl might have left and some tiny traces of steps on the ground, and use basic tracking techniques to comprehensively judge and find the traces of the target.

The thief Justin, who once died at the hands of a half-elf, had some tracking skills. In the Thieves Guild of Fog Castle, why was he so arrogant despite his lack of physical fighting ability?

It is not all due to Justin's background, but also to his outstanding ability to track and identify traces. Few thieves of the same level can replace him.

Carefully distinguish the traces left behind, occasionally there are small footprints stained with soil, and compare them with the images in the memory bank.

This reminded him of the footprints in the corridor of the Angelus Hotel before, as well as the traces of pulling the car on the door handle of his room.

The naughty child who plays hide and seek in the words of old Mandel should be this little half-elf girl.

……

This tracking took nearly half an hour.

Loki finally followed him outside the town, near the gentle slope where crops were grown in the south.

After searching for a while, across the gentle slope of the hill, there was a wide cave near the stone wall of a valley.

The green low-light vision showed a clearer scene in the dark night. There were some rolling mountains around, there were not many trees, and there were no other creatures. There was only a deep cave in front of them.

Loki took out his tactical claw knife, strung up his crossbow, and put it on his back.

He was as prepared as possible for possible dangers.

The half-elf boy entered the cave, and he immediately discovered traces of artificial carvings in the huge cave.

The floor inside the cave is flat and smooth, and there are paved stone steps up and down.

The deeper he walked, the more shocked Loki became. Some strange characters and symbols were carved on some parts of the cave wall. They were not in the common language he was familiar with, and he had never even seen a word of them.

After turning a few corners in the cave and walking dozens of steps, the light in the cave became less and less, and low-light vision optimization had almost no effect.

His vision gradually became dark.

Finally, a slight noise came from further inside the cave, but it was heard clearly by the sneaking half-elf boy. He fumbled and took out two things from his arms.

It was a small torch stained with pitch pine resin, and something wrapped in oil paper, which was a phosphorus stone used for ignition.

There were a few faint ignition sounds, and then, a bright torch suddenly lit up in the dark cave, immediately lighting up the surrounding environment.

Loki didn't wait for the small figure inside to escape, and immediately rushed over.

This light does not illuminate all dark places, but it allows the half-elf boy who can adjust his low-light vision to see clearly inside.

This is already the end of the cave, and there is a huge, wide space inside.

The walls of the cave have been trimmed to be smooth in all directions, and there are decayed wooden tables and chairs inside, which clearly looks like someone once lived there.

In the innermost part of the cave, on a slightly sunken stone wall, there was a decaying wooden bed that was about to fall apart.

A small figure was squatting on the wooden bed, with a pair of frightened eyes wide open, looking at Loki who appeared holding a torch.

Half-elf little girl, little Fatuna?
