The next day, early in the morning.

As the sun shines through every corner of the Venomara Forest, all creatures wake up from their sleep to begin their new day of hunting.

"Is Mr. Sulu here? I'd like to talk to him. ”

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask for instructions."

The silver-armored soldier replied faintly and walked towards the camp.

"Hmm."

When the silver-armored soldier left, Say's brow furrowed.

He had come so early to find the mysterious Sulu mainly because of the disappearance of the elven guard Bessie.

No one has seen her since last night.

Moreover, he has a magic stone that can sense Bessie's breath.

But now that the stone is completely incapable of any breath, there are only two possibilities: Bessie is out of the object's sensing range, or dead.

In a few moments, the silver-armored soldier was back in front of Say.

"Mr. Say, the master is waiting for you inside."

The silver-armored soldier gestured to the largest tent in the camp and said.

"Thank you...... It's okay, you guys just wait here. ”

Say smiled slightly, stopped the guards behind him who wanted to follow, and walked towards the camp alone.

This is just a temptation, and bringing too many people will arouse suspicion.

In this way, under the vigilant gaze of many silver-armored soldiers, Say slowly walked into the tent.

The first thing that catches your eye is the dark-haired man named Sulu, and next to him stands a blonde woman in a priest's robe.

"Hello, Mr. Say, may I ask what is the matter?"

Sulu sat in his chair, smiled slightly, and said softly.

In fact, he already knew why this Mr. Say was looking for him, it was nothing more than the matter of the elf girl Bessie.

"Have you ever met Bessie?"

As he spoke, Say slipped his right hand into his pocket and held the stone, trying to feel the breath that belonged to Bessie.

Even if it is death, it can react as long as the body is still nearby.

He'd been trying since he entered the camp, and now all that's left is the tent.

There was a soft buzz, and the magic stone in the pocket emitted a faint glimmer of light, and then burst out a transparent ripple and spread out in all directions.

"No?"

Say frowned and muttered in a low voice.

After a short period of probing, the magic stone did not react at all.

So Bessie isn't here?

"What's wrong?"

Sulu still had a peaceful smile on his face, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"No, nothing...... It's just that we're going to leave this forest and say goodbye to you. ”

Say quickly came to his senses and threw away the suspicions in his mind.

Since he didn't sense any breath, it means that Bessie didn't catch or kill Besulu, and may have left the vicinity.

But he didn't know that at this moment, Bessie was already imprisoned in an endless prison in another dimension.

Suddenly, Say seemed to remember something and hurriedly put an invitation on the table.

"It's an invitation to an auction, and in a few days there will be an auction of some good things that are not very common, and I believe it will be useful to you, as for the name of that place, it seems to ...... It's called Gale Town. ”

"Galewind?"

Hearing this, Susulu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Isn't this a sleepy pillow?

He was still thinking about how to sneak into Gale Town, and now that he got this auction door piece, it would save him a lot of trouble.

"yes, that Gale Town should be around here."

"Well, thank you so much for the gift."

Sulu didn't push back, and immediately put the invitation to the Gale Town auction in his pocket.

"I'll be in that place then, hopefully we'll be able to meet again."

Say said this, and then turned and walked out of the tent.

For him, it had been "confirmed" that Bessie was not in this place, so there was no point in staying.

Moreover, he definitely can't stay in this place for too long.

After all...... That thing can't leak a hint of wind.

With each side having their own agendas, Say left the camp with a group of elite guards and headed towards the exit of the forest, leaving only a few empty tents.

It didn't take long for the heavily armed Silver Lion soldiers to stand in the open space in front of the camp.

"Master, under our watch, they have all left the forest range."

Clive came to Sulu's side and whispered to him.

Due to Sulu's concerns, several Silver Lion soldiers kept an eye on the departing Say's group until they left the Vinomara Forest completely.

"Well, you're doing a great job, and we're going to get into that mountain range next."

Sulu nodded and said slowly, "This time...... The location of the vein must be found as soon as possible. ”

In this regard, he also specially exchanged a 1-day gold devouring beast from the endless prison.

Although this monster is not very powerful, it has a special sensitivity to precious metals and ores, and can be said to be the best companion of thieves.

Thinking of this, Sulu couldn't help but look at the little guy.

I saw that its overall appearance was like that of a squirrel, only half the size of a palm, with sapphire-like pupils.

Now the gold-devouring beast lay drowsy on Sulu's shoulder, as if it were very tired.

"Yes, master."

As Clive's voice fell, a hundred Silver Lion soldiers and Sulu walked in the direction of the mountain range.

…………

Meanwhile, inside a hut in the town of Blackstone.

Although it was daytime, it was still pitch black and there was no light at all.

Suddenly, with a whirl, a dim candle flame lit.

Several figures in black cloaks slowly emerged from the table, like ghosts of nothingness.

"...... Denton and Myrome are dead?"

"Yes, they were following that sacrifice, but just last night, their Soul Stone had shattered."

"Could it be that priest who made the move?"

"No way, the priest has been in the town church all along."

Suddenly, there was a dead silence between several people.

"Which of us is going this time? He may be guarded by strong men, but ...... In any case, we have to take control of the sacrifice. ”

One of the cloaked men stood abruptly and said in a resolute voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, another man in a cloak stood up and lifted the hood from his head, revealing a handsome and bewitching face.

"This mission is up to me."
