Chapter 10 Chasing the Murderer on the Island (I)
The moonlight was dim and the temperature was particularly low on winter nights. Roger was shivering in the cold wind even though he was wrapped in a thick cotton coat. But Matar, who was lying next to him, was only wearing a short coat over her usual clothes and seemed to be completely unaffected by the temperature. This made Roger admire him very much.
According to Matar, the winters in her hometown of Samir are ten times colder than here, and she only wears this when she goes out hunting, not to mention the winter here.
Since they learned Jerry's residence from Lena that day, they split into two teams, Roger and Matar monitored Jerry, and Randy and Elfa watched Tom. They were sure that this matter had something to do with those charlatans from the Gathering Religion, so they had been waiting for them to show up.
But they waited for four days. Since they arrived in Klin, the Nords had not shown up, and there were no more missing people on the island. This made them more certain that the missing people were abducted by the Gathering Religion.
Because waiting was boring, Roger started chatting with Matar in a low voice. Both of them are adventurers with rich experience. Once they start talking, they can't stop. They chat about everything from Samir to Lyon, and from Lyon to the freeland, the starry land, epic magic, weapons and arms.
After lying in wait patiently for four nights, they finally waited for the person who was supposed to come. Several dark shadows took advantage of the night and sneaked towards Jerry's cottage in the rice field. Although they tried to move as gently as possible to minimize the noise, they also crouched very low. But none of this could escape the Matar's sharp eyes.
Matar was about to chase after them, but was stopped by Roger.
"Wait a minute, let's see where they're taking Jerry. If we follow them, we might be able to find their lair."
After a while, those men came out of Jerry's house. Judging from the sacks they carried on their shoulders, it looked like they were Jerry and his family. Roger and Matar hurriedly followed, and relying on Matar's sharp eyes, the two followed them slowly.
