Adventurer of the Elf World

With the help of the Meli sheep, Ryota could barely keep up with Xiu.

"Tell me, what happened in your family?"

Xiu thought, according to this time, Ryota should have woken up and found his father missing, and then rushed to find him.

"I woke up and found that my father was missing! I searched all over the ranch but couldn't find him... But... since my mother passed away, he rarely left the ranch, especially at this time of night..."

Ryota's face was still a little panicked when he spoke, and his tone gradually became hurried, as if he wanted to finish his words at once.

"Don't worry~" Xiu saw that he was beginning to panic and comforted him, "I will help you, or he just went out temporarily and is waiting for you at home now."

Although Xiu said so, in fact he himself did not believe it.

If the mayor's disappearance confirmed his guess, then the disappearance of Ryota's father directly confirmed the problem.

But this is not the point.

When he rushed back with the children, he happened to see Dr. Endo discussing something with the middle-aged teacher.

The young teacher was organizing the students, and Xiaogang was standing aside.

Xiu didn't rush to find Dr. Endo, but went to Xiaogang first.

"What did Dr. Endo say?"

Xiaogang of course noticed that Xiu was back, and at the same time his eyes could not help drifting to Ryota.

He answered Xiu's question directly.

"Everyone will go up at dawn, and then camp on the mountain, try to complete the investigation as soon as possible, and then leave."

"Have you explained the two things about the death of the town and the disappearance of the mayor?"

Xiu found it strange that they made such a decision. This is a risk~

However, Xiaogang shook his head helplessly and added: "It is precisely because of these things that Dr. Endo has made up his mind to complete the investigation as soon as possible and then leave this place."

"It is a very reasonable arrangement..." Xiu nodded in agreement. In this environment, Dr. Endo's choice is very reasonable.

It can avoid conflicts with the townspeople and complete the task as soon as possible.

After all, it is easy for him and his people to talk, but the students are young and full of blood. If they are provoked by someone with ulterior motives and have conflicts with the people in the town, it will be troublesome.

The mayor, the only leader of the town, is missing, and the townspeople who have lost their center will definitely be in chaos.

Xiu exchanged information with Xiaogang again, but he did not ask whether Dr. Endo and the two teachers had contacted the alliance and the school to report the matter here.

He didn't need to worry about this kind of thing, and frequent inquiries would only make him look nosy.

"You help me keep an eye on him first, I'll go and tell Dr. Endo."

Xiu handed Ryota to Xiaogang, and then walked towards Dr. Endo, and ran into those students in the lobby on the first floor.

However, Xiu's maverick behavior attracted the attention of the students there, and they began to whisper to each other.

"Who is this person?"

"It seems that he came with us..."

"No way! Why do I feel like I haven't seen him?"

"..."

"Okay!" The teacher clapped his hands, attracting the attention of those students, and also interrupted their conversation, "Xiu is from the research institute, don't embarrass me~"

The teacher spoke a little softly, but most of the students who were originally a little over-energetic restrained themselves. It seems that he has a good way to manage students.

This sentence firstly emphasized Xiu's identity, and secondly warned those students that Xiu was not easy to mess with, so don't talk nonsense.

"Hello, everyone." Xiu nodded slightly to everyone as he passed by, which was considered a greeting.

After all, others said so, and Xiu didn't want to lose face.

He nodded in response, and then walked towards Dr. Endo.

"Doctor~ I may need to leave for a while and can't go up the mountain with you."

Xiu briefly explained the situation, but Dr. Endo didn't agree directly, but seemed a little worried.

After all, he didn't want to get involved in local affairs, but Xiu joined his team, and he had to be responsible for his safety.

If he left the team, it would be difficult for him to explain to Baoba~

Xiu also saw his concerns and took the initiative to explain: "Doctor, don't worry, I will explain the situation and take responsibility for myself. Besides, it's just going to the grassland to take a look, there's not much danger."

Since Xiu said so, Dr. Endo couldn't stop him too much, after all, Xiu was not a researcher under him.

After getting consent here, Xiu separated from them and led Ryota outside.

Dr. Endo and the teachers organized students and researchers to set off.

When they reached the town entrance, Xiu found that the door of the family was closed, and there was no crying or shouting.

Thinking of something, Xiu suddenly stopped and took Ryota to the mayor's house.

After a quick look, there was no sign of violent invasion, which means that it is very likely that the mayor left by himself.

What is going on?

Did the mayor kill someone and then flee for fear of crime?

At this time, a voice pulled him back from his thoughts.

"What are you doing here?"

Xiu looked up suddenly and saw a man walking not far away.

Isn't this the shopkeeper who guided him to find the mayor before?

What does he mean by this?

And the decorations on his body today are different, and there is a protruding Poké Ball.

He is also a trainer!

"It seems like you know something, shopkeeper~" Xiu looked a little unnatural, because he didn't understand what this person meant.

"Oh~ I can't escape." The man looked at Liang Tai and sighed, with a helpless look on his face, "Let's go, I'll talk to you on the way~"

Xiu suddenly noticed that the style of this man's clothes had a bit of local pattern style, just like Ryota.

Does that mean he's also a native of Bohol Town?

The man ignored the practice and walked alone towards the snow-appreciating mountain.

Seeing this, Xiu couldn't help but be suspicious, so he had no choice but to take Liang Tai to follow.

Along the way, Xiu could still feel some people casting their gaze on the three of them, and at the same time, public opinion was still fermenting.

Obviously his previous words did not wake up those people. They retreated just to save the embarrassing face~

But Xiu didn't care at all, these rotten fish and shrimps couldn't affect him.

All the way out of the town, when they reached a deserted place, the man slowly told a story.

Hundreds of years ago, a terrible elf appeared here, killing many people and causing panic in the whole place until a hero led the people to kill it.

It's just that people at that time were so panicked about this little elf that even if it died, there were rumors that it would turn into a ghost and cause trouble.
