FIFTEEN minutes had passed since they boarded the train going around the castle area. Luo Yan had no time to appreciate the view outside the train’s window because both him and Shen Ji Yun were busy asking the NPCs working in the train. The two of them separated – one went to the south side of the train and one went to the north side. This way, they could ask more NPCs at a short period of time. They decided to meet at the very middle. Which was the dining cart.


    Luo Yan was responsible for the south side. He already finished asking everyone and all that was left was the NPCs working in the kitchen. The dining cart was provided to yers who wanted to eat something while looking at the view outside. So, of course, there should be a kitchen.


    All the NPCs he talked to so far didn’t provide any useful information. All of them seemed to not know who Lhoris was. Which was very weird since the other was a moon elf. He should be very eye-catching. He was not boasting, well, maybe just a tad bit, but all the moon elves he met were very beautiful, male and female alike. So, howe no one had noticed Lhoris?


    There was a possibility that he was disguising himself. But then, if he did, shouldn’t the receptionist they talked to not find any information on their database regarding ’Lhoris the moon elf’? Because if Lhoris changed his appearance, then surely, he should also change his name. But he didn’t. Or maybe he couldn’t.


    What if all the NPCs working here were not allowed to give fake information before they could be hired? Maybe there’s a system here that required them to give genuine information. Maybe the HR department of the amusement park asked their applicants to provide evidence of their identity before they could be hired. Like some kind of referral. In Lhoris’ case, it might have been the Elder. Because why else would the Elder know that Lhoris was now working at Tropical Land?


    Now, once Lhoris was hired, he could finally disguise himself. Maybe he changed the color of his hair to blond to make him an ordinary elf. This way, the change wouldn’t be too great that he would get the attention of the HR department. There’s also a change that when interacting with people, he either not tell them his name or gave them a false name. If that was the case, then asking the NPCs in this ce about him might not be the best course of action.


    Luo Yan tsked in frustration. Maybe he should have asked the receptionist what Lhoris looked like. Or better yet, he should have asked the Elder about that guy’s appearance. But he didn’t think about it because he thought that the other was just an ordinary NPC that would give them the next clue for this hidden task. And he was confident that he would quickly recognize him because all moon elves had white hair.


    That was his mistake. He didn’t think of the possibility that Lhoris might disguise himself, use another name, or even resign. He should have known that this hidden task wouldn’t be so simple. Of course, it wouldn’t. It involved a dragon, after all. It was his fault for not being thorough enough.


    He shook his head and decided to just talk about it with Shen Ji Yunter. Then both of them could analyze the situation and make a decision on what they should do next.


    But for now, he should talk to the kitchen staff first.


    Luo Yan walked into the kitchen area. He saw that the NPCs were really busy. But he still managed to stop one of them who seemed to be some sort of sous chef.


    "Excuse me, may I ask you a question?" he asked.


    The NPC seemed to want to scold him. But when he saw the golden bracelet he was wearing, he immediately became polite and amiable. Luo Yan raised one of his brows. It seemed that this VIP bracelet was really helpful.


    "What can I help you with, dear guest?"


    "Do you remember someone who temporarily worked here before, like for a day or a couple of days? He’s an elf, very quiet and unassuming. He never got closed to anyone nor did he take the initiative to talk to others. And once he was done with his job here, he just left without saying anything. As if he had never been here at all."


    He added those details based on the assumptions he just made earlier. Luo Yan just hoped that he would get a helpful answer.


    The male NPC seemed to be contemting his questions. Then as if remembering something, his eyes widened and said, "Yes, there really seemed to be a person like that before. He’s an elf who only worked here for three days."


    Luo Yan let out a sigh of relief. Finally. "What did he work here for?"


    "He was a dishwasher. Just like you said, he never spoke much. Only kept to himself."


    A dishwasher, huh? A guess suddenly entered his mind. "Do you remember what he looked like?"


    "Short blond hair. But he had long bangs that covered half of his face. He was also wearing a pair of ck sses, as if purposely hiding his eyes. But I identally saw them. They were transparent and very simr to a gem, like a pair of mirror. No, that’s not it. They were more like a pair of diamonds. They were very eye-catching. So, even after he was no longer working here, I still remember him."


    Luo Yan got a lot of information from this short conversation. But it seemed that he couldn’t get anything more, considering how Lhoris only worked here for three days. But what he learned was already enough.


    "Thank you. I won’t disturb you anymore."


    After saying that, Luo Yan walked out of the kitchen area and went straight towards the dining cart.


    At this moment, Shen Ji Yun was also walking towards the dining cart when he received a message from Su Yuqi that made his expressionless face turned ck.


    Morganite: [We – me, Luo Jin, and Bai Ze – are going to Tropical Land. Are you and Luo Yan really there?]
