Chapter 344: The Mysterious Outsider (Ⅱ)

"I don't know him." Joan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied softly, "But your description reminds me of a person. I heard about this person from my friends in Port Leiden, but I can't find it now. Confirm if it is him...Doctor, you continue to talk, what happened later?"

"I saw that the man was unfamiliar, so I asked him who he was and what he was doing here in the middle of the night. He didn't answer my question, but instead asked me if I recognized Joan Vida and Kandy Powhatan."

"How did you answer?" Joan couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

"At that time, I felt that the man was acting suspiciously, so I was a little more vigilant and asked him to answer my question first, otherwise I would not tell him anything."

Galanduil shrugged, his expression became a little weird.

"The outsider grinned after hearing what I said, and then told me that he was inquiring about the mystery of the bizarre destruction of 'Beaver Village'. He heard in the tavern that you and Kandy might have some clues, so he came here to inquire about it. , as to why your house was on fire, he claims not to know, yet I suspect he is lying."

"Beaver Village..." Joan frowned and thought, a vague picture appeared in his mind.

It was this winter, on his way home from Port Layton, he passed by the small village on the banks of the Dring River.

There are less than 100 families living in the area, and most of them make a living by hunting beavers and selling their furs, so it is called "Beaver Village".

Joan still remembers that it was a snowy day, and he was on his way in the sleigh pulled by Jamie. On the way, he suddenly heard a terrifying explosion, as if stars were falling from the sky, knocking down "Beaver Village" and the surrounding area several miles away. Territory razed to the ground!

After being shocked, he hurried to the area where the disaster happened, and found that the buildings and residents in the village were all reduced to ashes in an instant, but there was an Asa girl who miraculously survived at the scene. dripping spar...

Joan picked up the spar out of curiosity, and later learned that it was an artifact gem called "Tears of God" from outside the sky, and the girl who was unconscious on the snow in the ruins was named Candy, just like him. He was also a passer-by and arrived at the disaster scene earlier than him.

It's a pity that Kandy is not an arcane spellcaster, and cannot become the master recognized by "Tears of God". The moment he picked up the gem, he was rejected by the artifact, and was shocked to faint, until Joan came and took her back to Delin Town Cultivate the body.

Just as Joan was lost in memory, Dr. Galandil continued to tell about the strange things that happened that evening two weeks ago.

"It took me a while to remember what Beaver Village was, and I asked the man inexplicably why he wanted to inquire about this matter. Hasn't Beaver Village been destroyed by a meteorite?"

"I also told that stranger by the way, you and Kandy are not residents of Beaver Village, and have nothing to do with the disaster that happened there."

"After listening to my words, the outsider showed a strange smile and said meaningfully: 'Yes, Beaver Village has been destroyed by meteorites, and all the residents of Beaver Village have died, but my question is...then Where is the meteorite that destroyed Beaver Village now? Don’t you know? Mr. Passing by, it seems that you really don’t know, but I guess that the girl named Candy probably knows, if she doesn’t Yes, Joan Vader must know something.'”

"To be honest, until now I don't understand what that stranger means... He seems to be very interested in the disaster in Beaver Village. If so, he should go to the vicinity of Beaver Village to find clues and run to our Delin What are you doing in town?"

Galanduil shrugged and spread his hands.

"Joan, do you think it makes sense? Joan?"

"Oh? That's right..." Joan recovered from his contemplation, "I guess the outlander is really interested in the meteorite that destroyed Beaver Village. He came to me probably because he wanted to find out about the whereabouts of the meteorite." .”

"If it's as you guessed, it would be even more incredible." Galandil shook his head and sneered, "A meteorite that is powerful enough to destroy an entire village must be huge, at least it must weigh hundreds of tons. Such a large meteorite cannot be easily moved away, how could it suddenly disappear?"

"That's right."

Qiao Anyan agreed insincerely. In fact, he knew in his heart that the meteorite was not big or heavy, and it was in his hands right now.

That foreigner really did not find the wrong person.

"Doctor, where did that stranger go?"

"What happened next was even more bizarre. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, even I would have found it unbelievable."

Dr. Galandil was holding a pipe, with a look of lingering fear on his face.

"The stranger stared at me several times, as if he believed that he couldn't get any valuable clues from me, so he suddenly raised his head and whistled."

"Shortly thereafter, there was a piercing humming in the sky, and a giant hornet, much bigger than a vulture, descended from the night sky..."

"Just when I was stunned, the foreigner took off his cloak and jumped onto the back of the wasp naked. Then the giant wasp flapped its wings and flew up with him on its back. In a blink of an eye, it disappeared into the depths of the night sky. .”

"At that time, I was dumbfounded, and I stood there for a long time before I came back to my senses. Just when I suspected that I was just dreaming, I accidentally saw the cloak that the strange man dropped. Well, at least this cloak It can be proved that what I saw just now did not come from a dream.”

"Doctor, is the cloak that the weirdo left behind still in your hand?" Joan asked.

Galanduil shook his head, his face became more dignified.

"I walked up to the cloak, hesitant to pick it up, and at that moment, the cloak exploded on its own, and turned into a swarm of wasps and rushed towards me."

"In retrospect, that cloak was probably cast by a spell by a weirdo, intending to use it as a trap to kill me."

"Fortunately, I am a doctor and carry a medicine box with me, and even more fortunately, I happen to know that certain medicines with strong pungent odors have the effect of repelling insects."

"While avoiding the swarm of bees, I hurriedly opened the medicine box and smashed all the medicine bottles. The pungent smell emitted finally drove away the swarm of crazy wasps."

After listening to Dr. Galandil's narration, Joan couldn't help feeling terrified of his thrilling encounter that night.

However, the doctor's narration was not over yet. On that too long night, another strange thing happened later.

"I was frightened by the bee swarm and broke out in a cold sweat. I ran in the woods in a daze, and I just wanted to go home as soon as possible."

"However, when I finally got rid of the wasp chase and recalled what happened just now, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. After hesitating for a long time, I finally gave up the idea of ​​going home directly and turned back the same way."

"I plan to go to the back mountain to find your grandfather and tell Mr. Thiel about the strange things that happened to me."

"One is to remind him to be careful of that stranger riding a giant bee, and the other is to ask him to write a letter to you who was still far away in Port Layton at that time, reminding you to beware of that strange man looking for trouble."
