Amber and her group were forced to stop, unable to keep up with Carlotta and Alia.
"Lady Parker, are they really the murderers?"
Soone beside Amber asked.
"That’s no longer important,"
Amber shook her head.
Then she issued an order for everyone to continue tracking Carlotta and the other woman. Even though the two had escaped their sight, people inevitably left various traces when they moved. These traces were enough for them to continue searching.
Soone asked in surprise, "If they aren’t the murderers, will we still attack them?"
Amber said coldly, "Don’t forget why we ca to Sky Island. Don’t bring the ways of Avalon City to Sky Island. There are no innocent people here."
So what if they weren’t the murderers? As long as they possessed enough benefits, they were worth targeting.
Moreover, they were just two apprentices. Dealing with them wouldn’t be that difficult, when Alia used her mory magic to block their advance, her rank was no longer a secret.
Amber was very interested in Carlotta’s Speed Card, as it was related to the Wind God Stone. Even if she obtained the Speed Card, she wouldn’t be able to use it. However, she could find soone to dismantle it. Although this wouldn’t yield the complete Wind God Stone, it could preserve so of its characteristics, which could be used elsewhere and still be incredibly valuable.
"Now that we are on Sky Island, we are either prey or hunters. We are not maintainers of the law, nor do we need to be for such things."
Amber spoke to her subordinates with a cold and ruthless expression.
...
Beside a gurgling river, Carlotta put Alia down.
"If that woman was even a middle tier Listener, I would have fought my way back."
Carlotta said helplessly.
A peak tier Listener was indeed difficult to deal with, a judgnt made after directly facing one.
Alia said, "On this Sky Island, besides each other, no one else can be trusted, even if that person’s identity in the outside world seems sowhat glamorous."
She told Carlotta that Amber’s pursuit might not be because she truly suspected them of being murderers, but likely because she wanted to obtain what they had.
Carlotta nodded seriously.
Fortunately, with the Speed Card in hand, even a peak tier Listener couldn’t catch up to her when she ran.
Only then did Carlotta have ti to check her Sky Island ranking.
After defeating Vic, who practiced darkness magic, she gained another 10 tokens, and her ranking had improved.
She then chose to challenge an adjacent opponent, still with 10 tokens as the challenge fee.
However, Carlotta failed this ti. As soon as she entered the arena, she encountered a Resonator.
Seeing the opponent fly up and emit the vast magical power of a Resonator, she chose to surrender without hesitation.
"What a joke, a Resonator with such a low rank, did they just arrive on Sky Island?"
Carlotta was a bit helpless.
People were constantly entering Sky Island. Even at a low rank, it wasn’t strange to encounter a Resonator, and it was even possible to encounter a Pirate General.
Having lost another 10 tokens, Carlotta’s ranking returned to its original position. Vic, whom she had lost to earlier, had once again beco her adjacent opponent.
After thinking about it, Carlotta didn’t choose to challenge Vic this ti. Since the opponent had lost once, she knew she wouldn’t accept her challenge.
She chose to challenge the adjacent opponent ranked one position higher than herself.
This ti, when she entered the arena, Carlotta saw a middle tier Listener, a bald burly man.
However, after a complex battle, Carlotta finally won, leaving her opponent looking utterly bewildered.
As a middle tier Listener, losing to a ninth-tier apprentice would make anyone question their life.
After the battle ended and she returned to reality, Carlotta took a deep breath, "I need to rest for a while."
"Was the opponent this ti strong?"
Alia was relieved to see Carlotta appear.
Because Carlotta had been gone for quite so ti, she couldn’t help but worry.
Carlotta nodded and said, "He was a middle tier Listener."
Then the two walked slowly. Carlotta also needed to rest after the intense battle.
However, they hadn’t walked for long when they heard a commotion. Looking back, they saw a group of people chasing after them, it was Amber and her group.
They had actually followed the traces!
"These guys again."
Carlotta’s expression changed, and she quickly picked up Alia.
Alia wrapped her arms around Carlotta’s neck and looked back, whispering, "We tried our best not to leave any traces along the way... It seems these guys are quite good at tracking."
No matter what, since they had t, they could only flee.
Carlotta was fast, disappearing into the moonlight. After a while, she once again managed to shake off Amber and the others.
The two stopped in a fruit orchard.
Carlotta put Alia down and said helplessly, "These guys are chasing so closely. I suspect they’re after my Speed Card."
The Speed Card infused with the Wind God Stone was indeed incredibly valuable, even more so than her storage card. It was currently the most valuable card she possessed.
"It’s very likely, and we are just apprentices, so they might think we are easy to bully."
Alia stroked her silver hair, able to clearly discern people’s intentions.
On this lawless and unrestrained Sky Island, possessing sothing of high value while appearing weak would inevitably attract attention.
Carlotta really wanted to fight back, but a peak tier Listener was truly difficult to deal with.
She thought for a mont and said, "These guys will likely continue to chase us. We can’t just let them be. I can’t stand it anymore. I’ll go find a body of water where the Moonlight can be used flexibly."
She planned to use the Moonlight to have a good confrontation with Amber and the others. They had even defeated a peak tier Listener using the Moonlight before.
Although the Moonlight could be used on land, it was not flexible enough to exert its full power due to its immobility. Therefore, it was best to find a body of water.
Alia had no objections but was a little worried, "I wonder where we can find a body of water."
Carlotta said, "Didn’t we find a river before? Although this river is too narrow and not suitable, perhaps we can find sothing by following the river."
-----------
For Carlotta, waiting until midnight might provide the answers she wanted from the intelligence.
However, there was still so ti before midnight, and she felt it would be better to walk along the waterway for a while. She couldn’t just wait in place for midnight to arrive.
Alia thought this was indeed a reasonable choice.
The two rembered the flow of the river they had been on before, so after wandering in the mountains for a while, they found the narrow river, stretching to the end of their vision.
They walked along the river, at a steady pace. Because they didn’t linger in the sa place for too long, Amber’s people were unable to find them again until midnight.
Carlotta kept track of ti, and as soon as it turned midnight, she imdiately recited the command to summon the intelligence panel and began to read.
[ 1: A map of the internal areas of Sky Island is as follows.]
Carlotta’s eyes lit up imdiately, thinking that her intelligence system was truly impressive, starting with a map.
Her gaze fell on the map, and she beca more and more satisfied, as the map was densely marked with many contents that caught her attention.
Different areas were marked with different colors on the map, with red circles representing danger, where monsters with resonance exist. Knowing the existence of these monsters in advance, Carlotta could naturally avoid them and did not need to confront these resonator monsters.
Because it was a map, it was also clear what areas were forests, what were swamps, and what were water bodies.
She discovered that the narrow river they were currently following was indeed very narrow and long. If they continue walking, they will not encounter a sufficiently wide body of water for a long ti. However, on a mountain to their right front, there was a rather vast lake.
Carlotta imdiately took out the Eagle Eye card and aid it in that direction. She then said to Alia, "Alia, I see a lot of water vapor rising over there. Perhaps there is a body of water, let’s go and see."
"Is that so?"
Alia looked in that direction, but because she didn’t have the Eagle Eye card, she couldn’t see clearly.
At this mont, Carlotta had already picked up Alia and was rushing towards that direction.
Alia instinctively wrapped her arms around Carlotta’s neck, her face blushing slightly.
This ti, although there was no need to escape, Carlotta still picked her up directly, making her feel a little strange. However, she didn’t say anything more and leaned against Carlotta, letting Carlotta carry her away.
She didn’t know since when, but she could actually feel a sense of security from Carlotta.
At this mont, Carlotta was unaware of Alia’s thoughts and was still looking at the other intelligence.
[ 2: On the Sky Ranking, the tiers of all participants are as follows...]
The second piece of intelligence was still of great importance, causing Carlotta’s eyes to contract and her to be greatly shocked.
The tiers of everyone would no longer be hidden from her? Doesn’t this an she could specifically challenge those she could handle, instead of mistakenly challenging opponents she couldn’t deal with and lose her tokens?
For a mont, Carlotta’s heart burned with excitent, and she was eager to challenge others.
She also stepped in at those ranked highly and couldn’t help but was secretly alard, because everyone ranked highly had no low tiers. In a flash, she saw a large number of resonators, and sotis even more outrageous tiers.
Fortunately, the competition for ranking depends on each other’s tokens, and there was no need to fight each other. As long as she chose her opponents well, it was not impossible to win the first place in the Sky Ranking.
[ 3: Amber Parker and her group are looking for Carlotta and Alia. They are very interested in the items on the two of them. She possesses special alchemical items that can be used for tracking. As long as they do not leave Sky Island, they cannot escape the opponent’s tracking.]
Carlotta is in a bad mood.
This so-called law enforcer of the Avalon City Guard indeed had ill intentions and was targeting her for profit.
’Special alchemical items for tracking people? How troubleso. This woman has to be dealt with quickly.’
Carlotta thought to herself.
However, dealing with a peak tier Listener was obviously not an easy task and required careful handling.
[ 4: At this location (a map), after two groups of people finished fighting, a resonator monster passed by and eliminated everyone from both sides. The tokens scattered on the ground have not yet been acquired by anyone.]
Carlotta pondered thoughtfully.
She cross-referenced the two maps and confird that the location where these people fought was on the edge of a resonator monster’s territory, which was why it attracted the attention of the resonator monster.
Since the tokens were ownerless, she naturally had no reason to miss them, and the location happened to be on her route.
Within the internal areas of Sky Island, there were certainly many ownerless tokens from people killed by monsters, but the intelligence would not ntion every single one. This fully illustrates one thing: the intelligence ntioned the quantity of tokens must be considerable.
[ 5: At this location (a map), soone attempted to hunt a resonator monster and failed, being killed in return. The dropped tokens were not picked up by anyone.]
There was a second piece of similar intelligence.
Carlotta looked at it. The location where the tokens dropped was even deeper inside a resonator monster’s territory.
Because it was relatively far, Carlotta withdrew her gaze and did not pay attention to this location for the ti being.
[ 6: An alchemical artifact was lost beneath this cliff(map). This alchemical artifact is a mirror that has defensive properties and can automatically provide a protective shield.]
Carlotta’s eyes lit up.
The sixth piece of intelligence was sothing she quite liked, because the location where the alchemical wonder dropped was not dangerous, it was just a little far. She had to deal with the matters at hand before she could go and acquire it.
This was an alchemical wonder, and only Listeners could activate such things, making it extrely valuable.
Carlotta silently morized this piece of intelligence and looked at the next one. There was quite a lot of intelligence today.
[ 7: Ancient legends are buried here(map). A very powerful elf once fell here. Now, the elven bones have vanished, leaving only a pair of elven wings. Even after many years, the value of these elven wings is extrely high.]
Carlotta was greatly surprised. This was actually intelligence about materials? What level of material was it that the intelligence specifically pointed out?
Elven wings?
Do elves have wings?
Carlotta thought about it. Elves in this world did seem to have wings and could fly even at the apprentice stage.
’I need to go and see this place too. The wings of a long-dead elf, still uncorrupted after so many years, must be astonishingly valuable.’
Carlotta silently morized this location.
