Without hesitation, holding his sturdy shield in front of him, Gondok strode into the kobold camp with a torch in one hand.

"Click!

No peeping, no breathing, no signs of living activity other than dozens of kobold corpses that had been eaten by sewer creatures, revealing pale bones.

"Hey, Fiona, is Bruce mistaken?"

"Bringing us back to the kobold camp we've already checked?"

Behind Gondok was Ike Fred, the Wanderer, who shrunk his body behind Gondork's massive frame, until Gondok walked into the middle of the kobold camp and poked his head out to look around.

Then, Ike Froude immediately turned to Fiona behind him and complained.

"Huh!"

"Do you think Bruce is as stupid as you are? Kitten!"

"Bruce is smart! He knows exactly what he's doing. Because, I told it, I want a new camp!"

"Got it?"

Fiona mercilessly mocked Ike with a particularly palpable disdain on his face for Ike's complaints, while Bruce glared at Ike with green eyes that flickered in the dim light.

Ike's exemplary way is called "Cat Night Thief", with the grace and swiftness of a big cat, emphasizing the elimination of enemies in movement, and in addition to insisting on the nature of a thief and a rogue, he is especially good at raiding enemies with incredible movement and amazing agility, so Fiona calls him Kitten.

However, as a member of the same adventure team and having experienced a long adventure together, such a taunt is just a joke, and Ike certainly doesn't take it seriously.

"But, as you can see, the kobolds in this camp have long been wiped out!"

"We can't get ......"

Ignoring Fiona's taunts, Ike Fred continued to nag, but when Green appeared at the kobold camp and raised an arm, Ike immediately stopped nagging.

Green's raised arm was a signal, a signal for Ike to start searching.

So, poking his entire body out of Gondork's shadow, Ike transformed into a large cat that walked silently in the dark, wandering swiftly through the camp without making a sound.

The kobold camp was small, and in just a few minutes, Ike had finished his search, emerging from the kobold's humble shack and shrugging his shoulders at Grimm while spreading his palms.

Nothing found!

"Take!"

Green naturally knew what Ike was trying to say, but this time he didn't fully trust Ike's judgment, but planned to follow his instincts and find it himself, so with his staff in hand, Green strode into the kobold camp.

As Green entered, both Gondok and Ike Froud moved out of the way and walked to the entrance to the kobold camp, leaving the middle spot to their captain.

"[Detection Magic]!"

As he chanted the incantation, Green's palm flashed with a faint light, and he slammed his palm forward, and the faint white light turned into a cone-shaped shockwave, covering the entire area in front of him!

"Not here, not here!"

Green uses the Zero Ring Spell [Detection Magic] of the Mage Prophecy System, and its main function is to determine whether there are any magic items or spell casting traces in the coverage area for a duration, and if there are, display them in the form of magical aura.

The more powerful the magic item, or the remnants of a powerful spell, the brighter the intensity of the magic aura.

And at this moment, as the faint white light seeped into the ground and any attached objects and disappeared, Green did not see any manifestation of magical aura.

"Really, not?"

"[Detection Magic]!"

Following his intentions, Green used the second Zero Ring spell of the day, but this time he changed direction, and then in a pile of rubble behind the kobold camp, a faint magical aura lit up!

"Ike, take a look at the back of the camp!"

Releasing two zero ring spells in a row will naturally not make Green, who has already stepped through the exemplary path, feel tired, but in terms of skill, Ike must be the first in the adventure team.

Therefore, Green immediately asked Ike to come forward to check the situation behind the camp, and Ike's voice immediately came from next to the gravel pile.

"Captain, there's a dragonborn corpse here!"

"And a dragonborn who has fallen into darkness!"

Striding closer, Green immediately saw the corpse of the Dragonborn as if it had been poured in bronze. Like their ancestors, the Dragonborn's faction can basically be seen from the color of the dragon's scales, with the Colorful Dragonborn being easily inclined to evil, while the Metallic Dragonborn's Dragonborn are more inclined to the good camp.

Of course, this is not absolute, the bronze dragonborn in front of him was definitely in the evil camp before his death, because in Grimm's eyes, the diffuse negative energy still emanated from the dead body, and at the same time dyed the dragonborn's pupils black.

"[Detection Magic]!"

After using up the three zero ring spells he had stockpiled for the day, Green finally confirmed the source of the faint magical aura, a thick dragon scale that grew on the dragonborn's chest, and the dragon scale had a long interlaced scratch on it, which continued to end.

"Gondork, pluck these dragon scales off!"

Calling to the strongest warrior in the group, Green asked Gondok to forcefully remove the heavy scales, and a tiny scroll fell from behind them.

"Dear Lother,

Glad to hear of your resurrection.

It has been 100 years since the last pleasant conversation, and in a few years, a new exchange will be held in the old place, and I sincerely hope to see you.

I hope that the exchange again can make us have greater gains from each other.

Sincerely!

Your friend Carl. ”

The dropped scroll is a letter, a letter written on the scroll.

After reading the contents of the letter, Green's brow furrowed, because he saw a symbol at the end of the letter that seemed to be two rough 3s twisted together, the edges of the symbols were connected and stretched down into claws, and the left claw was slightly longer than the right one.

This is a dangerous symbol, as it is the seal of the Rune Society, indicating that the owner of the letter is a master of the Runes. And the only one who can communicate with one of the Lord of Runes on an equal footing is the other Lord of Runes.

At this point, the information of the Council of Six can finally confirm the truth, and there is indeed a lich in the sewers of Askatra, because the members of the Rune Society are all undead creatures with superb spell-casting abilities.

So where is this lich?

Green's eyes withdrew from the scroll, sweeping the heavy dragon scales in Gondork's palm.
