The few adventurers who stayed behind looked very excited when they saw the griffin landing. Their voices drifted over with the wind: "The leader of the salvation team must be here."
"Go and see what the peerless handsome man who has charmed the princesses of two countries looks like!"
"You just want to see what he looks like? As long as our world doesn't end, he will definitely be included in the ballads' songs in the future. We have to go and get to know him. Maybe he will be included in the ballads in the future."
"Don't even think about it. With our weight, we'll just be cannon fodder in the ballad, the kind that's mentioned as a word in a sentence, understand? If our names can appear, we'll bring honor to our family for the rest of our lives. If the name of our hometown is in front of it, I'll go~"
When the king saw Xiaobai land, he asked loudly, "Are you the adventurers who stayed behind?"
Immediately, an adventurer dressed as a ranger shouted, "I am Frodo from Leon! The one next to me is Sam from Goldshire!"
You actually mentioned your hometown. Do you really want to leave your name in the song?
King: "Uh... I'm the king of the Mage Tower!"
"Hello, Your Majesty!"
"You idiot, King is a name! You should call me Your Highness!"
"Hello, Your Highness!"
Wang Fu said, "It doesn't matter what. Are you a ranger? Have you searched for any traces?"
"We have searched," said Frodo of the Lion. "They have professional anti-reconnaissance methods. They are very skilled rangers. But I found another trace. It was very hasty. It must have been run shortly before we arrived."
Sam from Goldshire said, "Yes, we think it's a rogue who came to check on the troops who were planning to ambush us."
Wang nodded: "Judging from the traces, do you think this entire army is a rebel army?"
Frodo of Leon frowned, "Rebels?"
Sam patted his arm. "They didn't attack us, but they are rebels. Don't think too much about it. Just think of it that way!"
Wang suddenly started to like this Sam a little.
Frodo: "Okay. This...rebel army, we didn't find any traces of them imprisoning people with different opinions, and there were no bodies buried nearby, so I think... yes, they are all in the same group, and just disappeared in the dense forest."
The king stroked his chin. "An entire army, in the jungle. Where do they get supplies? Hunting alone can't support so many people."
Xiaobai also changed back and joined the discussion: "I definitely can't afford it. I have such strong hunting ability and I'm a druid, but I still go hungry sometimes when I travel."
Is it just that I am hungry occasionally? This guy doesn't eat starch or fruit, it's just that I am very hungry occasionally, okay!
Frodo of Leon shrugged. "There is no way they can be supplied unless someone else helps them."
In fact, the river network in this section of the Ma Xunya River is very dense, and all of them are in the dense forest. Maybe it is really possible to secretly support such a troop.
Wang: "Should we carefully check the passing merchant ships... We'll talk about this later. Frodo of Leon, where is the headquarters of this camp?"
"This is the one behind us."
The king looked at the simple tent.
Xiaobai: “It’s very simple.”
"Generally, this kind of general is likely to be a good general who likes to share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers." Wang said, and then patted Xiaobai's head, "Go in and take a look."
Xiaobai: "Aren't you going to share the good and bad times with me?"
Wang took out a piece of dried meat from the dimensional bag and fed it into Xiaobai's mouth.
Xiaobai ran happily, completely forgetting about the joys and sorrows they had shared together.
The tent was in a mess.
Frodo of Leon explained, "It was such a mess when we arrived, with documents and everything scattered on the ground. The captain just gathered the documents together and transported them all away."
Wang: "So it was the person who came before us who searched it?"
"Eighty percent of them are. So if there was anything important, it has already been taken away."
Wang touched Xiaobai's head and asked, "How many people smell here?"
"Seven or eight people, two of them are staying here to watch over these two."
Sam: "We did participate in the collection of documents in the tent."
Wang: "Frodo, that... we call the guy who came earlier Subject A. Does Subject A have any characteristics that can be identified by smell?"
Frodo took out a petal and said, "This is what I found. It is not a species nearby. I think it may be a symbol or a talisman on that person."
Wang took the petal and examined it carefully: "With such a small petal, can you tell it is not a variety from the surrounding ones?"
Frodo of Leon explained simply: "I am a ranger."
Chapter 370 Set within a set
The king looked at Frodo carefully and asked, "Which team do you belong to?"
Generally, mature adventurers will have a fixed team. After all, cooperation will be better among acquaintances.
Frodo: "Our captain went back to report, leaving the two of us behind. Didn't you... see him?"
Wang recalled the adventurer who reported to him the discovery of the camp: "Is it the one with the scar on his chin?"
"Ah," Frodo shook his head. "Our team was encouraged by a man called Scarhawk to come together to see if there was any work here. It should be him you saw."
Sam snorted unconvincedly: "Captain is such a wimp, he must have given all the credit to Hawke."
The king shook his head. He had left all the communication with the adventurers to Rosalie, so he was not aware of these situations.
It seems that it is necessary to carefully understand the quality of the adventurers gathered on the floating island and promote as many capable people as possible. For example, this Frodo seems to be useful.
Wang made a prompt decision and said, "From now on, you are the Savior—er, we haven't decided on a name yet, maybe the Savior Alliance Army. Anyway, you are now a member of the reconnaissance team. From now on, you will be directly responsible to me."
After saying that, Wang put the petal in his hand in front of Xiaobai's nose.
"Well, there is indeed no such smell nearby," Xiaobai muttered, "A more detailed analysis will have to be given to the crow in the green field."
Wang: "First, can you tell me if I can detect this smell in the air?"
"No big deal. That person must have used some tricks to hide his scent. If it weren't for this petal, I don't think I could do anything to him. But now that there is a petal, it's another story."
Xiaobai said this and started running.
Wang quickly put the petal into the dimensional bag and held Xiaobai's hair firmly.
Frodo from Leon and Sam from Goldshire looked at each other and immediately followed Xiaobai's footsteps.
Now Xiaobai is still in human mode, so he is not running too fast. It is easy for two adults to catch up with him.
Xiao Bai asked as he ran: "Will there be any problems if we just start tracking like this? What if we are ambushed..."
The king took out the voice stone and pressed the magic circle on it.
Soon Lily's voice came from the sound stone: "Hello? What happened?"
"No, the wanderers at the scene reported that a wanderer entered the camp before we found it. He also specifically searched for the documents of the camp headquarters, but did not take the belongings in the same camp."
Lily: "It is strange. But you shouldn't chase him alone. I will send someone to look for you."
Wang: "Remember to send someone to take over the general's camp. There is no one there now."
"Got it. You should be careful too. Why don't you just keep the sound transmission stone connected?"
"Don't be like that. It's weird to take a risk with the Voice Stone. You won't even have one hand left to cast a spell. So, I'll contact you in an hour. If there's no contact and you can't call me, then something's wrong."
"That's fine. See you in an hour then."
After cutting off the sound transmission stone, Xiao Bai said, "She doesn't seem to be worried about you at all."
Wang: "Because I am reliable. No one knows this better than her."
Xiaobai: "Really? Isn't it because you are the darling of fate? If you really encounter danger, your eyelids will twitch, right?"
The two people following behind looked at each other.
Sam said something and Frodo waved his hand and raised his index finger in a hush sign.
Xiaobai: "I heard you guys were talking about the relationship between eyelid twitching and reliability. Don't think we're joking. His eyelid twitching has saved us from danger several times. He's like a danger early warning machine."
Wang: "It's okay, we just bumped into each other by chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaobai stopped suddenly: "Shh, there is a strange smell ahead."
Frodo: "I'll go up and explore the way first."
Sam from Goldshire stopped him and said, "No, I'm a wanderer. I'll go up first."
Frodo looked at Sam and said, "Are you a rogue? I thought you were a merchant with us."
"I'm good at dismantling traps and reconnaissance." Sam put down the bag he was carrying and groped his way past Xiaobai and Wang.
He pushed aside the plants that blocked his way and moved forward tiptoeingly. Soon his figure was swallowed up by the dense forest.
Xiaobai glanced at Frodo and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely hear if anything happens to him. Look at my big ears."
She twirled her ears proudly.
Wang: "Do you realize that I am riding on your neck now, and the movement of your ears will rub against me."
"Will it? No way, I didn't feel a strange touch on the back of my head?"
Wang: "I'm talking about my hand, your ear is rubbing against it and it's itchy!"
At this time, Sam's voice came from the front: "There is a small camp here. It looks like only one person lives here. The camp has been cleaned up. I can't see any traces. Frodo has to come!"
Frodo at once parted the plants and strode forward.
Xiaobai followed immediately.
There was a small camp behind the bushes. Xiao Bai pointed to the campfire that had been extinguished for a long time and said, "The strange smell comes from there."
Frodo squatted down and poked the campfire. "This firewood is not from the rainforest. The nearest place where this smokeless firewood is produced is thousands of kilometers away."
Xiaobai: "Is this spy so poor? He doesn't even have a dimensional bag. He could just stuff everything into the dimensional bag and take it away."
Wang: "The first possibility is that he did it on purpose for us to see. The second possibility is that he must leave immediately, otherwise he will be discovered by someone."
"I think it is the second," said Frodo. "He has only been away a short time. He must have gone to tell the traitor about the ambush."
Wang: "Are you sure we are the first group to arrive?"
"I'm sure." Frodo nodded. Suddenly he saw something in the grass on the ground, so he squatted down and picked it up. "Wait a minute, there's another one like that here!"
Xiaobai stretched out his hand directly: "Let me see!"
