Still with the red fox thing after all that time? He has her magic stone for god's sake. Just absorb it to know some info.
Even if he doesn't get info from absorbing it, he should realize by now that she's dead because he has her magic stone.
EVEN if he doesn't know, why would that old man and the others not? Such a plot hole.
Especially since the first chapters talked about how the elf girl would die if MC absorb her magic stone from being in the same carriage. The red fox wouldn't be able to live without her magic stone.
