The smell left by Aifen was like a ribbon that led Major, clearly marking the location where Aifen was walking. Major sniffed as he walked. The sky was completely dark, the night sky was clear and the stars were everywhere. The bright moonlight shone on the earth, clearly outlining the outlines of all things. The extremely bright stars shone, as if they were connected together.
He followed the smell to the entrance of the alley. Ai Fen's smell suddenly disappeared. Without warning, there was no process of weakening, and the ribbon of the smell suddenly broke. Major was panicked, and he sucked his nose and ran around the left and right, gaining nothing. The smell seemed to be cut off cleanly by an invisible knife.
Two pedestrians looked at Major's actions in horror...
Major had to give up this idea and had a good nose, but it didn't work without tracking experience. Ai Fen was cunning and experienced, and must have dealt with dogs a lot in daily life, so he was so careful.
He walked back to the cottage and looked carefully, hoping that Aifen or Logan would leave some clues.
As expected, there was nothing. Moreover, Major doubted whether he could see it even if he stayed. It seemed that following the path would not work, either by the nose or by the eyes. As a test, Ai Fen must be prepared and not leave any flaws.
So what should I do now?
Major walked out of the cottage and sat on the steps, at a loss.
A thin black male cat suddenly jumped off the roof opposite, holding a white bird in his mouth. Seeing Major was stunned, the birds in his mouth fell to the ground, screamed, and quickly picked up the bird and ran away. The two big yellow cats then jumped off the roof and followed.
A short man ran into the alley, stepped on the wall and hurriedly, holding a purse in his hand. He seemed to be a thief who returned to the nest after he succeeded. He ran into Major, was stunned for a moment, and made a threatening gesture. Seeing Major was too lazy to pay attention to him, he lowered his head and walked away.
Major tapped his head with a finger. This may be the biggest challenge facing the world. Before, whether it was possessed by the Dragon God or the Huo Shao Liuhe Town, they were forced into a desperate situation, and had no choice but to go all the way to the dark. The result was good, but it was also lucky. The current task is both clueless and time-limited, and there are countless possibilities.
Think from the perspective of others. What would I do if I were Ai Fen?
As the first test for newcomers, it is impossible to give no clues, and there must be a prompt somewhere. However, the situation is a bit special. Major thought that according to normal circumstances, Master Yutan recommended a newcomer to the Watchers Alliance and would tell him some basic situations about the Watchers in advance. If finding the Watchers contact person is the first task for every newcomer, the recommender must have some prompts.
For example, if Youtan was still alive, he would definitely say this: "Hey, Major, you have been by my side for a long time, so you should come in handy. Now I will send me a letter to Red Wall City and send it to someone's hands."
The address is definitely fake, and the name may also be fake. But there will definitely be clues that will make people find the real place. If the sender sees that the address is fake, he will turn back, which is obviously not suitable for being a watchman.
Thinking of this, Major seemed to understand something. Observational ability, he thought. This task tests observational ability and determination. Now, if Youtan is still alive, he will send a letter to the contact person of the Red Wall City Watcher. The address and name are not considered. What I know now is that the contact person is Aifen. Aifen appears publicly as a disguised as a map vendor. Then as long as the map vendor is found to be a liaison officer, it will be considered as completing the task.
Now Ai Fen will definitely not sell maps again, so the place where he sells the map is equivalent to the fake address given by the original recommendation person. The clue must be in the place where the map is sold.
Major jumped up, ran out of the alley, ran back along the street, and returned to the entrance of the municipal hall in a few minutes.
The hall was closed, and the bustling crowd at the door during the day had long dispersed and there was no one. There were only one or two pedestrians on the streets bowed their heads and hurriedly passed by, and lights were lit in the nearby buildings. A team of patrol soldiers slowly passed by the municipal hall.
Major waited for them to walk far away, and rushed to the front of the hall two or three steps where Aifen set up a stall during the day, and looked down at it carefully. This place was close to a giant pillar, and Major remembered that Aifen's table was placed next to the pillar.
After searching for a while, Major had to admit that criminal investigation is really a technical job. Untrained eyes turned a blind eye to clues. He searched carefully for a long time and found nothing. The white marble pillars were smooth and smooth, without any traces. There were many damage on the ground made of black and white stone slabs, but they were all caused by wind and rain over time, without fresh marks.
Major just wanted to sigh to the sky. This is really a joke! Joining the Watchmen League would be so troublesome, which made me irritated. Everyone beat each other and stopped doing it.
He took two deep breaths, calmed down his mind, and looked for it. Now he was so energetic that he used longans that were even more powerful than titanium alloy. His eyes were really like lightning, sweeping every inch of the ground around 30 meters. He did not miss any details...
Finally... he sighed to the sky again. I am really not suitable for this!
As a man who is completely unsolvable in games like Lianlian Watch, in a completely unfamiliar world, facing things that are not familiar, using the logic of the earthlings to find out the so-called prompts left by a cunning high elf, it is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
Major calmed down and prepared to repeat the previous work again to see if he had missed something. He stood up, stretched his waist, twisted his neck, and was about to bow his head...
A shout suddenly came from the street: "Who is there!"
Major turned around and cried out in his heart.
It was the patrol team, and they had already turned back at some point. Major was dizzy and forgot about this for a moment. He stood up and moved his body, and was seen by them.
"Don't move!" The leading soldier shouted loudly and led his men to come over.
This is a problem. The streets around the municipal hall are particularly wide and empty. Of course, running is to run, but in this tense period, soldiers will be vigilant, especially in important places like the municipal hall, which will definitely strengthen guards. Or send people to stand guard directly. Maybe Major's test will be ruined.
Major's thoughts were turned on. When he looked up, he saw a special connection between the top of the giant pillar and the dome at a height of more than ten meters. The giant pillar was divided into three small pillars at the top, spreading like petals to support the dome. There was a gap between the small pillars.
Major without thinking, walked backwards, avoided the soldiers' sight, jumped directly into the air more than four meters high, opened his hands, hugged the pillar, stepped on his feet, climbed to the top of the pillar in a few strokes, and drilled into the gap.
The soldiers rushed under the pillar, circled around twice, and found that no one was there. Everyone looked at each other.
"Impossible, I clearly saw someone here. Why did it suddenly disappear?" The captain was puzzled with a few beautiful feathers on his head, and turned to ask his subordinates: "Did you see?"
"See!" all the subordinates agreed. "There was a black shadow, and it disappeared all at once."
"Maybe it's a big cat..." a soldier whispered.
"Fart!" The captain slapped him in the head. "Can I not even tell the difference between cats and humans?"
The soldier held his head and stopped talking.
"Search it carefully for me! If you can't find anyone, no one will want to go home to sleep." The captain roared.
Everyone scattered and searched nearby.
A mature soldier saw that everyone had dispersed and approached the captain: "The captain is wise and can see someone at a glance. I can't see anything."
The captain laughed: "That's right, it's not that I brag. A crow flew over the sky, and I can tell the male and female."
The soldier laughed dryly with him and said, "Captain, I think you will let the brothers continue patrolling in the whole team."
The captain shouted, "The person has not been found yet, so you can't stop the team."
The soldier said: "I think this is a strange thing. With the captain's eyesight, it's definitely not wrong. Then this person disappeared in the blink of an eye, and is definitely not an ordinary person. Captain, think about it, several major events have happened in the city recently, and many people have died, but the case has not been solved. The count has not made any statement. When is it now? The war is about to go to. It cannot be done according to the usual method. If the count's major events are broken... "
The captain scratched his head and said, "What should I do?"
The soldier said, "In my opinion, he said he was dazzled and he should do whatever he should do."
The captain thought about it, called the soldiers back, and the whole team continued to patrol.
Major waited for them to walk away, stretched out his hand and supported it on the pillar, ready to jump down. Suddenly, he felt something touched on his hand, so he took back his body and took a closer look.
An equilateral triangle is neatly engraved on the pillars. The marks are clear and the edges are sharp, and it is obvious that it has only been engraved for a while.
This is the prompt left by Aifen. It is only the size of a matchbox, and the marks are very shallow. There is no sunshine on it all day long. People with normal vision cannot see it when standing on the ground. Comrade Aifen, the high elf, was afraid that Major would find it too easy, and he tried his best and did not feel tired, so he could not climb to such a high place.
But, what does this triangle mean?
Major was in trouble again.
Triangle, three stone pillars... He knocked on the pillar casually, with a dull voice, obviously solid. Moreover, Ai Fen could not hollow out the stone pillars in a hurry and hide things inside.
Maybe it refers to a triangular building in the city? But Major is not familiar with Red Wall City. This can be ruled out. Although Ai Fen's tips are difficult to find, they must be within their ability. Major observes the triangle again.
One side is parallel to the bottom of the stone pillar, and one corner points to the top of the stone pillar. Major looked along the stone pillar, and there were large stones of the same size on the dome, forming an arch.
A flash of inspiration appeared in Major's mind. He climbed onto the dome with both hands, hung onto the stone pillar with one hand, and knocked on the third stone with the other, and could barely reach it.
Solid, nothing on the surface.
He climbed down in dismay and continued to think hard.
He had a feeling that the thought that had just come to light was right. This feeling was very familiar and wonderful. The inspiration that suddenly flashed in his brain was often the subconscious view of the essence of things.
Thinking about it further, he looked up at the top of the small stone pillar, looked at the ground again, and suddenly understood.
I didn't find it on the ground, but now I can clearly identify it: with each pillar as the end, the black stone slabs are composed of several circles of different sizes connected by three rays. So...
Major laughed and jumped down from the top of the stone pillar.
