Inside the reception tent, there is a table and three chairs. There is a map on the table, which shows the canyon and underground parts. Sitting at the table are Zheng Yan, Alicia, and Rolando Knight.<

/p>

After the guardian pine brought the tea and left, Knight Rolando waited until Alicia picked it up, then picked up the quilt and said: "This is already the best fruit tea here. I hope Ms. Alicia doesn't mind."
p>

"It's okay." Alicia shook her head, took a small sip, looked at the map and said, "Is the mine already this deep?"

"Of course, after all, I have been collecting day and night for three years." Knight Rolando also took a sip of tea and said proactively: "As for the issue of missing miners, it is already the fifty-second issue. No one will be seen alive, and no body will be found dead.

."

"It's already fifty-two..." Alicia frowned deeply, "Why haven't we stopped work yet? This matter is no less important than environmental factors."

"Alas," Knight Rolando sighed, "Back then, we could stop work for a period of time due to environmental factors, but now we can't stop due to energy stone supply issues. I, the son of an old knight, have to stay here, right?"

"Aren't you afraid of pollution?" Zheng Yan looked over. It's a pity that the noble man died. He didn't believe that this noble man was willing to advance and retreat with the miners.

Dong Dong Dong!

Knight Rolando knocked on his armor, "This is a product of the Holy Light Church. It can isolate most of the pollution. All that's left is to go to the monastery and ask Ms. Alicia for purification."

Zheng Yan looked at the armor with meaningful eyes, while Alicia lowered her eyes, "I have helped you purify it so many times, I should have thought about the problem of this mine a long time ago."

"Haha." Knight Rolando smiled, "I don't blame you, Ms. Alicia, after all, it hasn't been long since you were transferred here."

"Skipping the monastery and directly cooperating with the local nobles. Now something happens, and we have to ask sister Alicia to come over and clean up the mess. It's really..." Zheng Yan noticed Alicia's eyes and changed "shameless"

Three words swallowed.

Knight Rolando looked at the reserved Alicia and the fast-talking Zheng Yan, and said with some amusement: "There is no other way, after all, the scope of the news must be controlled to a very small size."

"I suspect that the Speru Empire is also the demand side behind this. It announced the closure of the mine due to environmental factors, and then reopened it. You can't slap yourself in the face. That's why the news is so strictly controlled." Zheng Yan added.

said.

At this time, it was Knight Rolando's turn to look down, "Where is the understanding of this person? Just say it directly, please tell me!"

Finding that both of them looked strange, Zheng Yan picked up the fruit tea on the table and tasted it lightly, then raised his head and said, "Why are you looking at me? You guys are talking about yourselves."

"Where did most of them disappear?" Alicia looked away and asked.

"The place of disappearance, time of disappearance, were there any suspicious circumstances at the time of disappearance, and have you summarized the pattern of disappearance?" Zheng Yan added.

Alicia was about to glare at Zheng Yan. This guy had been acting smart several times today and should learn to stop it. But after hearing his three words, her eyes softened again. She felt that her eyes were threatening to Zheng Yan.

Mostly it doesn’t matter.

"Eh..." Knight Rolando thought for a while, "The location and time are not sure, including your so-called rules."

Alicia raised her beautiful eyebrows, and suddenly felt that she was wasting her time by coming to drink tea with him, so she might as well go into the mine to investigate.

Then I noticed my impetuous thoughts and quickly repented in my heart.

"Then tell me why you are so uncertain?" Zheng Yan took the initiative to ask on Alicia's behalf.

"Let's put it this way." Knight Rolando looked at the red dots marked on the map and said slowly: "Workers have disappeared at any time and in any place. It was all quietly and there was nothing suspicious."

"It's so weird..." Zheng Yan touched his chin, "No wonder we have to invite clergy to investigate."

"How's it going? Do you have any clues?" Knight Rolando spread his hands. He sent a limited number of guards to take turns to supervise, but there were still disappearances.

Alicia frowned, and Zheng Yan thought for a while, "Have your people ever disappeared?"

"My people?" Knight Rolando was stunned, "How could my people be missing?"

"Oh, so of course the workers disappeared." Zheng Yan thought to himself, and said: "So the missing targets are only miners, and knights and guards are not included in the target range. The difference between knights, guards, and miners is."

"Noble life..." Knight Rolando wanted to reflect the nobility of the nobility, but was interrupted by another voice.

Alicia said excitedly: "Knights and guards have strong combat capabilities, but miners are best to take action."

"No matter what the cause of the disappearance is? The target is the vulnerable miners, which shows that the reason is not strong, but it is too secretive. What method was used to abduct those miners without knowing it?" Zheng Yan tried his best to analyze.

, to be honest, this is not his strong point, he doesn’t like to use his brain.

"So is there any way to find out the secret reason?" Knight Rolando spread his hands. Anyway, he has no choice. Everyone is a swordsman and only knows sword skills. How can he get the fancy abilities of a magician?
p>

"Hey, if you think of yourself as a swordsman, do you really think that you have strong limbs and a simple mind?" Zheng Yan said directly that these nobles were too stupid to not use their brains.

Knight Rolando's face did not change and he was not worthy of his title of noble knight. Even Alicia couldn't help laughing.

"Since there are still people missing at that station where your guards go, let them pretend to be workers. The reason for the disappearance of the workers should not be too serious. Your guards pretend to be workers, pretend to be a little bit more like them, and work together.

, if he is the one who disappears next time, wouldn't the problem be solved for the most part?" Zheng Yan thought for a while before coming up with a method, which was considered the most reliable of the few methods he thought of.

.

Alicia looked at Zheng Yan with bright eyes, but Knight Rolando shook his head, "You asked my guards to pretend to be miners? And work together? I'm afraid they will resign from me immediately."<

/p>

"No wonder we can't think of such a direct solution." Zheng Yan sighed, "The noble knights and the guards of the noble knights will never put themselves in the same perspective as the workers to think about the problem."

A smile appeared on Alicia's face. This child could see everything clearly, but her mouth was too direct. If she were not here, Knight Rolando would probably be furious.

"You are right." Knight Rolando did not refute, he looked at Alicia, "So we asked the cathedral to let the church's clergy handle this matter."

"I don't have many other options." Alicia said slowly: "Either I place holy magic marks in all the mines, or I follow Zheng Yan's method."

"Sacred Mark..." Zheng Yan glanced at Alicia, "I'm afraid it's not a matter of setting up the Holy Light and blowing up this place... It seems to be no problem. If we blow up this place, there won't be any more missing workers."<

/p>

Suddenly someone announced outside the tent, and Knight Rolando responded, and one of his guards came in. He said something in Knight Rolando's ear, and Knight Rolando suddenly stood up.

"Someone is missing again."
