216 Southern Territory 2 (1/2)
Chapter 216: Southern Territory 2
”No. I have never seen these items before. It looks like something from Ancient Endor, but I couldn’t match it with anything from that time period.” The big bearded man said helplessly.
”White Eagle, do you feel better?” Dale Quicksilver turned her head around and looked at the last person in the team. He was no other than the closest partner and assistant, White Eagle.
At this point in time White Eagle had seemed like a drunk person. His face was pale, his eye sockets deep and his usual bright golden hair was unreflective. The only thing that remained positive was his sharp gaze.
He raised his head and looked at his old friend Dale Quicksilver. ”I’m still alright.” His voice was unbelievably coarse. ”It’s just that I may have spent too much energy. The few men in black previously were rather troublesome.”
Dale Quicksilver nodded her head and didn’t say anything further.
The group kept walking forward and soon the detective pulled out a small metal piece out of the human stone statue and passed it to the big bearded fat man.
”Have a look at this.”
”The big bearded fat man took it and examined it in detail for a long time. Ultimately he shook his head helplessly.
”I’m sorry… This is way beyond my knowledge.”
Lady Si Lan looked at the big bearded fat man helplessly. He was an identification expert that they specially hired. However, the items they encountered along the road was unknown to him and only a small portion of items that he identified were vaguely described.
Whenever they encountered something the first thing he would do was apologize.
If this kept on, no one would know when they would be able to find the opponent’s trail. One must realize that these stone pieces were clues left by the people who kidnapped the two children.
These clues were purposely left behind. If we couldn’t find the remaining clues, I’m afraid Silvica and Eve…
”If only Sir Kelly was here. There’s too little research going on in the Ancient Endor’s culture.” She sighed.
”Yes. If only Kelly was here…” Dale Quicksilver stopped her sentence midway as she lowered her voice.
This trip to the island was actually baited by a mysterious man. Detective Dale’s daughter Eve and White Eagle’s son Silvica were kidnapped by a mysterious man. If they wanted to save them, they had to go on the island.
The enemy obviously had an unspeakable motive so they had no choice but to follow his demands.
In addition, the clues that would guide them forward were those black small rocks that were placed there beforehand.
”They purposely come up with a riddle for us to guess.” Dale Quicksilver stopped walking with a calm expression. ”This may be a game, a game where we don’t have any choice. The opponent’s strength far surpasses ours, so they get to set the rules. We have no choice but to follow them. Do not panic. If we do, we won’t have any chance to win anymore.”
”But Eve and Silvica…”
”Relax. The kids will eventually go through some rough training as well.” Dale smiled as she tried her best to not sound worried.
”Don’t worry Dale. I have a sword here so we still have the ability to protect ourselves.” White Eagle comforted.
”That’s true…” Dale nodded.
”Let’s rest for a bit.” The detective sat on a stone statue’s leg.
Everyone started sitting down without paying much attention to their surroundings.
”NIneteen years ago, my parents were burnt to death on this island…” The White eagle sat down as he took out a small exquisite copper necklace out of his shirt.
The pendant had the same style as a pocket watch. He opened the pendant to reveal a black and white picture.
”This is my father.” he gentle stroked the surface of the glass that was protecting the picture. ”Never in my dreams would I think of a time I would be stepping on this island again…” He had a complicated expression on his face as he grabbed the white sword tightly in his hand.
Pew pew!!
Suddenly, two ear deafening gunshots rang from afar.
”Let’s move!”
The team quickly got up and moved towards the source of the gunshots.
They passed through the stone statues and soon arrived at another empty field that was multitudes larger than the previous one.
