Chapter 485 There is a traitor among you
"You don't have enough clues, so it's hard to have a definite analysis idea."
"But there is one thing that can be regarded as the most likely and most possible breakthrough at present."
Pet touched his chin and said while recalling:
"At least, I haven't heard of any so-called disappearance method in this world."
"It's easy to make a person or a thing disappear, such as invisibility magic, teleportation magic, or create some illusions to cover it up."
If Pete changes his career to become a magician now, he can also perform some magical performances such as changing the living person.
Making people "disappear" is simple for him.
"But these methods will definitely leave traces."
"Flashback magic can reproduce the traces of energy fluctuations left here some time ago, whether it is arcane, shadow or any other power."
"Everything that works will leave traces."
Pet confirmed: "Since you have discovered the abnormality for so long, you must have done the corresponding inspection, right? Can you ask the wizard to use flashback magic to detect it?"
The dwarf of the Freeman family blushed: "...Yes, we have looked for it."
Dwarves don't like magic, but there is a branch of the magic monastery in the stone fortress, just on the third floor.
Some mages who are interested in the magma lake at the bottom of the stone fortress and the minerals inside the mountain will come here to do some research and investigation. Most of the time, they don't interfere with the dwarves.
"The flashback magic detected no traces, which means that Bron Freeman's disappearance was not the result of magic or divine arts."
"It is impossible to leave through secret passages and mechanisms. Since you have put him under house arrest, you will definitely not leave any secret passages for nothing."
"Eliminate all impossibilities."
"The only possibility left, no matter how incredible it is, is likely to be the final truth!"
Pet exhaled and whispered:
"There is a traitor among you."
...
The eyes of the dwarf clerk of the Freeman family suddenly became bigger than copper bells!
Like a conditioned reflex, he immediately denied:
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!!!"
The united dwarves have never fought internally.
In the Kingdom of Reyak, there are often some minor frictions between the nobles, and even armed conflicts will break out in serious cases.
Dwarves will not be like this.
The nine dwarf families who claim to have powerful ancestral bloodlines have always been closely united.
Every family member will also be proud of his own surname, and the interests and honor of the family are above all else.
If you tease him that he is a muscle man with a stone head, he may not care and will not take it to heart at all.
But if you dare to tease his family.
I guarantee that he will turn hostile on the spot.
Beating him up is the lightest punishment. The more serious ones will be directly put into the dwarves' hatred book and boycotted by the nine major families.
With such a concept and character, there is almost no soil for the survival of traitors.
How much benefit do you have to offer to make these stubborn dwarves betray their families?
Pete shrugged his shoulders: "Believe it or not."
"Anyway, according to what you said, Bron Freeman 'disappeared out of thin air'."
"Excluding magic and divine arts that can directly change reality to achieve results, the biggest possibility is that there is a traitor."
"Think about it carefully."
"Who came to the conclusion that he disappeared out of thin air?"
"According to your statement, the person who was responsible for watching Bron Freeman from morning to night saw the so-called 'disappearance out of thin air' with his own eyes. You only learned one result, right?"
The dwarf clerk still couldn't believe it and kept shaking his head:
"No, no, no, it's impossible!"
"There are more than one person who will be arranged to watch Bron's cousin. At least several family members will be arranged to take turns." "Besides, Bron has disappeared more than once. As long as we try to put him under house arrest, he will suddenly disappear one day. The people who witnessed this are different."
Pet clicked his tongue.
"Have you seen it with your own eyes?"
"No, I've been on duty here for the past 10 years, and I've been home less often."
"That's it."
"How dare you conclude that it's impossible when you haven't seen it with your own eyes?"
"It's easy to explain why different family members witnessed it."
"They're all traitors!"
"Come to think of it, since there's no magic or divine arts, there must be a group of people who speak with one voice and cover up for Bron Freeman to do this."
The young dwarf clerk of the Freeman family almost collapsed after hearing this.
He tried to find reasons to refute Pete.
For example, the Freeman family is very united, and there can't be traitors or traitors.
But these reasons are too subjective and have no real basis.
He also wanted to cover his ears, refuse to think, and insist that there can't be any problems with family members.
But Pete's "traitor theory" is like a nail stuck in his heart, lingering and unpulled.
He can't calm down at all.
As long as he thinks, he will start to doubt himself in his heart.
There is probably a traitor in the family.
There are more than one or two traitors.
Maybe there are already a group of traitors!
Seeing the dwarf's painful and tangled look, Pete thought for a moment and added:
"I think you shouldn't worry too much."
"Look at it from a positive perspective. Bron Freeman didn't do anything extreme, did he? Besides, the traitor didn't seem to cause any loss to the family?"
"He just likes to go to the Spirit Wing Wetland."
"Maybe he found clues to some treasure there, and he's busy looking for it."
The Spirit Wing Wetland has always been affected by extremely powerful dragon language magic. Legend has it that a giant dragon flying from the Frostfire Plateau once cast a spell here.
In the depths of the wetland, you can even find extremely rare dragon corpses buried underground.
If you're lucky, you can collect dragon bones and dragon scales from dragon corpses.
They are both powerful and rare top-level materials.
For most adventurers and mercenaries, it's almost like getting rich overnight.
In the dark forest on the eastern border of the Kingdom of Reyak, adventurers often kill monsters to explore the forest;
In the Spirit Wing Wetland on the northern border, adventurers kill monsters mostly to go deep into the wetland and explore treasure.
Not only humans.
Some dwarves in Stone Castle are not very good at forging, and sometimes they go to Spirit Wing Wetlands for adventure.
However, the proportion of such dwarves is quite small, probably less than 5% of their population.
Hearing Pete's comfort, the young dwarf shook his head repeatedly:
"No, no, no!"
"It's different!"
"Although cousin Bron has never done anything extreme, his previous appearance was particularly scary, as if he had become a different person, which is definitely not normal!"
