Adventurer of the Elven World

Chapter 529 Investigation
Looking out of the window, you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, but the meaning is much worse in summer now, and you can't feel the real snow scene.

"Maybe I can come over in winter and bring a few friends to go skiing..."

Xiu looked at the distance in a daze, and after a while, he smiled wryly and looked away, then shook his head slowly, expelling the fantasy of old age and retirement life from his mind.

After returning to the room, Xiu didn't lay down the corpses, but released the elves and fed them.

At noon, due to time constraints and too many outsiders around, they were not released, and of course they have to make up for it now.

It's just that they are good at everything, the only difficult thing to deal with is that they can't show their faces in front of people.

The only ones that can be released are Casey and Lucky Egg.

However, the appearance of the giant pincer mantis and the mountain mouse is too distinctive, and conspicuousness means trouble, which is something he avoids.

When the little elf was eating, he also took out the map he drew on the car, because he just memorized it roughly, so the engraving was extremely simple, just a few lines and circles.

Take photos of the map and store them in the illustrated book for emergencies.

"I'm going out for a while. If you don't want to score goals, you can stay in the room first."

In the end, Xiu just took the mountain rat and left the rest in the room.

No way, no matter who among them keeps Kathy, he must stay, otherwise Xiu won't be at ease.

Fortunately, the pangolin also has the ability to fight now, but it shouldn't be needed for going out this time.

He just wanted to visit the situation in Bohol Town, and to find out what the townspeople knew about the ruins of Shangxue Mountain.

The tourist town has indeed greatly increased the exposure of Bohol Town, and you can see some beautiful local snow scenes with a quick search on the Internet.

But this era is not yet the information age, and many information cannot be found on the Internet.

For example, there is no clue about the avalanche incident in the background.

Since the ruins appear here, the nearby residents may know something.

Dr. Endo and the others have their official sources of information, but these will obviously not be revealed to Xiu without reason.

Therefore, whether it is out of habit or for his own safety, he also needs to master certain information.

Or he doesn't like to venture into an unknown ruin without preparation.

As a tourist town, the architectural pattern and style of Mint Town are very interesting.

The distance between the houses is not too big, there is a main road leading to the direction of Shangxue Mountain, and then it forks out to form the whole town.

There are many shops on both sides of this street, their facades are very distinctive, some strange symbols and objects are decorated on them, it looks like an alternative feeling, even if it is not worse than the average city's bustling streets.

It's just that there are basically no people around now, and some stores are closed directly, leaving only a sign outside the door, some of which say when they will open and so on.

And there is another part that is directly transferred by Wangpu, and there are contact information on it.

Some residential buildings with homestays hanging outside the door can't see anyone at all.

But it is normal to think that it is the off-season for tourism.

There are actually not many residents in the town, and after some inquiries, there are more than 300 households in one town.

Moreover, many people here come to do business and then live here, and there are not many real aborigines.

It's a pity that those shops don't know much about the ruins of Shangxue Mountain, and they haven't even heard of it.

Of course, Xiu didn't simply ask about the relics on the snow mountain directly, but slowly explored through other scenic spots.

But unfortunately still nothing.

Until Xiu wandered to a small shop near the end of the road and was about to leave the town.Most of the surrounding shops are closed, but his one is still open.

"Those people can't wait to block all the news, how can they tell you about the mountain~"

A shopkeeper who was knocking out snacks said something with a little teasing when he saw Xiu inquiring about these things.

"Does the owner know what this is?" Xiu turned his gaze to the past.

The shop owner is a middle-aged man dressed with some local characteristics. He glanced at Xiu and said lightly:

"Perhaps you can go to the mayor to ask your question, those people just moved here in recent years, they don't know anything, besides, they blocked that accident in order to keep their reputation, don't be fooled by them. "

Hearing this, Xiu smiled helplessly. He visited many small shops along the way, and spent a little money just to find out the news.

There is no way, if you want others to speak, you will naturally have to pay some price.

"Thank you, I will pay attention." Xiu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Where is the mayor?"

"It's over there." The shopkeeper put down the snacks in his hands and raised his finger in one direction, then asked casually, "Are you here to investigate the things on the Snow Mountain?"

"Yes! I don't know what uncle knows?" Xiu didn't deny it either, in fact, Xiu found out when he communicated with those shopkeepers just now.

Most of them knew it, but they all pretended to be crazy and stupid, and they just refused to say it.

After all, the avalanche took away several people and had a considerable impact on the local area.

Especially in places that engage in tourism, the death of more or less people will affect people's ideas.

Seeing Xiu's confirmation, the owner of the shop didn't continue talking, but kept silent, and seemed a little hesitant, and didn't know what he was worried about.

Xiu didn't ask any further questions, but instead took the opportunity to observe the storefront.

Unlike the previous ones that sell all kinds of small things and catering, this shop mainly sells paintings and some handmade souvenirs.

Portraits hung all over the walls, and some were stacked in corners.

Xiu glanced over and found that most of these paintings were snow-capped mountains, but...how should I put it...the snow-capped mountains in the paintings all have a very strange feeling.

It's a pity that Xiu didn't know much about this, and he couldn't describe that feeling.

"Are these paintings drawn by the shop owner? It's very artistic~"

The man raised his head and glanced at Xiu lightly, and said blankly, "It's from wholesale."

"The shopkeeper's vision is very good to be able to enter these paintings." Xiu didn't feel embarrassed, but accepted it instead.

"Okay, the town is small in the first place, and there are hardly any tourists coming here at this time, except for the ruins, there is no place to attract outsiders at all.

So as soon as you guys come in, we will know all about it, and we also know that you are here to investigate the ruins of Shangxue Mountain, so don't pretend. "

Xiu didn't have anything to say now, he could only smile awkwardly.

However, he reacted very quickly. He suppressed the question after thinking for a while, and said to the shopkeeper: "Actually, we are a team sent by the alliance to investigate the ruins. I will tell the teachers about this matter. Thank you very much for your help. , I don’t know what uncle’s name is?”
