#75 - [Night Owl] Find

Actually, the moment Zalan said he would take people out to sea, Munn had already thought of notifying his only friend in Xilin.

Now that Brad came himself, it saved him some effort.

However, before Munn could even suggest leaving Xilin, Brad said something unexpected.

......

"Quick, take this!"

As soon as he entered the cabin, Brad took out a thick gray paper file from his clothes.

Munn took it, puzzled, and glanced at the words on it.

《Xilin Town Birth Records - Volume 121》

This was a record of births in Xilin, recorded by the monastery.

Munn did not open the folder, but looked at Brad curiously.

"What are you doing with this?"

Brad, who was still panting from running, slowly spoke after taking a sip of water.

"Someone... someone came to the monastery looking for someone, and then Friar Layton had people find all the birth certificates that met the criteria."

The most reasonable way to prove whether someone is from Xilin Town is to go to the monastery and check the person's identity records, delivery records, and basic information.

These things are recorded in the monastery at the time of a person's birth, and this is the way the entire Gracia Federation works.

"Looking for someone? Who are they looking for?"

"Age between ten and fifteen, male, black hair and blue eyes, height..."

Listening to the conditions Brad said, Munn felt that he could find hundreds of people in Xilin who fit the description.

But the next condition made him feel a chill.

"The family should make a living by herding, holding a special wooden stick, with records of herding at night in the northeast direction of Xilin Town for nearly a month."

The more Brad spoke, the more excited he became, and after saying the last condition, he couldn't help but swallow.

Munn now finally understood why Brad was so excited.

There are many people in Xilin who make a living by herding, but almost none who herd with wooden sticks, because people usually use shovels or whips to drive livestock.

If you add the condition of herding at night, and within a month, then the scope is even smaller.

Especially now that most people in Xilin know that war is coming, almost no herdsman would go that far.

Munn knew that they were coming for him.

Besides his family, the only people who knew he had a small wooden stick were Zalan and Brad.

Of course, there was also the 【Night Owl】 who fainted that night.

"It seems you guys left yourselves a fatal tail."

Zalan also guessed the other party's identity at this time, and his expression became serious involuntarily.

Munn then opened the file bag that Brad brought, and found his identity certificate inside.

"After that person entered the monastery, he hid in the house.

I was only arranged by Friar Layton to read these documents because I could read."

Brad looked at Munn anxiously as he spoke.

"I only realized that the other party might be looking for you after I saw your file, and then I ran out on the pretext of going to the toilet."

After listening to Brad's explanation, Munn walked over and hugged him.

If the person looking for Munn was really 【Night Owl】, then Brad's adventure was too risky.

"Thank you."

"We don't need to say that between us, but what do we do now?"

Brad didn't know Zalan's identity, so he kept looking at Munn.

After learning about Munn's caster identity last time, Brad developed great trust in his good friend.

In his opinion, since Munn had a way to stun a 【Night Owl】 in the cave, he now also had the ability to solve this following 【Night Owl】.

However, Munn was very clear about his abilities.

He was able to solve the 【Night Owl】 at that time because of his surprise attack, and that special "staff opening magic".

Now the other party is obviously prepared, and has also considered the factor of the small wooden stick.

This put Munn in a passive position all of a sudden.

But they also had a trump card of their own.

Thinking of this, Munn turned to look at Zalan.

"Didn't you disapprove of my idea at the time? Now you know the importance of finishing the job, right."

After Zalan came to Xilin, Munn had talked about dealing with 【Night Owl】 that night.

At that time, he believed that Munn should find a way to silence him, even if he pushed this 【Night Owl】 off the cliff.

But Munn did not agree with this approach.

And now the facts once again proved that Zalan was right.

"I will try my best to find ways not to leave tails in the future, but what should I do now?"

The successive dangers made Munn's original high principles start to loosen slightly.

"Now, of course, prepare for battle!"

Zalan said, snatching the identity certificate from Munn's hand, and then throwing it directly into the fire next to him.

With the addition of combustibles, the flames suddenly rose high.

Before Munn could react, Zalan continued to ask.

"Isn't there another copy at Neil's house?"

"Uh~, that's right!"

Munn replied blankly.

"Remember to burn that one too!"

"Why? That's my identity certificate."

"Heh, remember kid, now your identity record is a disaster if it's left behind, and in the future, you won't need a piece of paper to prove your identity."

Munn didn't understand why he wouldn't need an identity certificate in the future, but he didn't stop Zalan from doing so.

After the identity certificate was burned, Zalan went from his previous lazy state to a battle mode.

......

That afternoon, he purchased a lot of things from the street, preparing to set up traps in the hazelnut forest.

"Dig the pit well, put the branches on, leave a slightly larger gap..."

"The nails should be hidden in the pit, no need to bury the leaves so deep..."

Regarding the knowledge of hunting traps, Munn had learned a lot from Zalan recently.

But the traps set up today were completely unlike his usual work.

If it was the former Munn, he would definitely admire the ingenious design of these traps.

But after receiving Zalan's training, he could already find that these traps were full of flaws.

"Why do you want to do this, that's 【Night Owl】."

Munn asked the doubts in his heart after putting the nails in place.

In his opinion, these traps could not cause any harm to the other party at all.

"Yes, I know that's 【Night Owl】, but he's just looking for you, isn't he?"

Hearing Zalan's somewhat irresponsible words, Munn was a little surprised.

After a month of contact, Munn found that he had developed a great trust in Zalan.

Especially after becoming stronger after completing Zalan's training, this made Munn even more trusting of Zalan.

But now this originally trustworthy man actually wanted to leave him alone to deal with 【Night Owl】.

"Don't think nonsense, kid, the 【Night Owl】 who came is likely a young expert, and I'm old, so I definitely can't fight him head-on, so I can only use some tricks."

Zalan said, tying a trap rope behind a tree.

"Then shouldn't we make these traps better?"

"No, the best traps can't hurt 【Night Owl】.

The reason for doing these things is just to prove that there is only a little boy here who is trying his best."

Zalan's idea was very realistic.

He knew that 【Night Owl】 was very powerful, so he didn't plan to fight him head-on.

Since 【Night Owl】 only wanted to find Munn now, he could hide in the dark.

When 【Night Owl】 finds all the traps here, it will be the time when he is most relieved.

Because a herding child can set up so many small traps, it is already his greatest ability.

And that will be the best time for Zalan to strike.
