Chapter 187: Betrayal (2)

"Did you take the scroll with you, Silas?"

Silas frowned. "No."

He didn’t touch these two people after he came here and the information should be with them.

Seeing the others looking at him suspiciously, Silas took a deep breath.

He knew that it would be difficult for him to explain.

But he really didn’t take the information.

He had no reason to take these scrolls either. But Silas knew very well that it was hard to trust others when the evidence was saying otherwise. Even though the truth itself was that he really didn’t take any of these scrolls with him.

"He might have met with someone before I came here," Silas said slowly.

This possibility was not low, but this meant that their mission had failed. Because they have to retrieve this information to make sure it would not spread out. If they failed to retrieve the scroll containing the list.. many people’s information might be leaked out...

...

Slash!

Aya finished killing these magic warriors and took their magic scrolls from them. She had no time to check on them and looked at Yansu City that was visible from here. Yansu City was located near the mountain range and had a lot of mineral resources.

It was also because of this that the Yansu City was known to be the best place for any blacksmith to be.

The natural resources alone would be able to help them practice.

And the price here was definitely cheaper than buying it from other cities that obtained their supplies from Yansu City.

’They really come from here.’

Aya didn’t know the conflict between Yansu City and Wansu City in detail. In her previous life, the entire cities had already united under Kei and the era was prosperous. Well, more or less prosperous and united without much conflict on the surface. But right now, there were various conflicts between these cities that were hard to explain.

Aya wanted to check Wansu City to know more about this.

But for now, she better return.

Aya went to the cave nearby and started to set up a teleportation formation here. This cave has been abandoned for a long time and there was no one who would enter a random cave unless they were seeking death.

In this way, Aya felt reassured.

She set up the teleportation formation and returned to Wansu City.

The first thing she did was to check the defensive formation. Seeing that it was untouched, she knew that no one came to see her during this period of time.

Aya came out of her room naturally and found Evan there.

He had been waiting for Aya to come out and guessed that she was not calm because the one involved in this matter was their teacher.

"Teacher will be fine," Evan said.

"I know," Aya replied.

She had seen for herself that Silas’s mission was successful. But whether it was for the good or the bad, she didn’t know.

"Let’s practice while waiting for Teacher to come back."

"Yes."

...

After a light session of practice, Aya went back to her room and checked the magic scrolls from these men one by one.

Seeing the large amount of resources there, Aya’s eyebrows raised.

’It seems that one of them is a blacksmith.’

There were a lot of minerals here but unfortunately, Aya didn’t know which one was the most valuable or anything. After all, she was not a blacksmith and could only judge how precious a mineral was through the mana dissipation and also the mana that it could contain.

But this kind of method was really crude.

Moreover, inputting mana to a rough mineral was not that easy.

If they were not careful, they might even break the mineral.

Aya put them away and only took the money. With the money here, she would be able to buy more herbs but she had to control the amount she showed on the surface. After all, the elders kept tabs on how much money they had given her.

After checking these magic scrolls, Aya found a scroll and opened it.

Seeing the list inside, Aya blinked her eyes.

’So they have already met with Rafi and traded the information?’

No, if they met Rafi and then went to a different way, Aya would not meet them in that location. The other possibility was that Rafi left the scroll in a place between Wansu City and a place where Rafi met with Silas not long ago.

In this way, Silas didn’t manage to find it.

Aya looked at the scroll in front of her and sighed deeply.

If she hadn’t gotten involved, it was estimated that this information would have reached Yansu City and these magic warriors’ life would be in danger. Because the suspicion of the Fourth Head of the Wansu City alone would be more than enough to make their lives difficult invisibly.

Wansu City is still under the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s control.

Even though his prestige had already decreased, it was clear that no one could threaten him from his position yet.

No, there were some who could.

But they didn’t have the interest to sit in his position.

Aya sighed deeply.

She put the scroll away and decided to see Silas later.

Before that, Aya went to have her dinner.

When it was night time, Aya sneaked out of the White Family Residence once more.

She had seen the scene of that battle. Even if she was not there, she could guess what happened and it was not something that could be taken lightly.

There might be some suspicion on Silas, but they shouldn’t be too harsh on him.

Right?

Aya didn’t know.

With her crystal eyes, she had noticed that Silas was in the Black Family’s forest, not too far away from where she met him before. This place should be Silas’s training place where he used to train.

Tep.

Aya stopped and looked at Silas, who was sitting on a tree trunk in silence.
