As they were walking, Eryndor asked Edward.
"Didn't they have a better purifier?"
Eryndor, along with everyone, felt it was surprising that they couldn't get rid of this tracker sll with the purifier bought from the Support Shrine.
There were only two possibilities why this might be the case.
One, this tracker sll wasn't bought from the Support Shrine but concocted by Team Jonathan's own expertise, maybe even using so outside material.
Eryndor had this guess because logically, the Support Shrine wouldn't sell anything which it didn't also have a solution for.
Which brought him to his second guess.
That there must exist a higher level of purifier which could get rid of this tracker sll if it was indeed bought from the Support Shrine.
Edward, who heard Eryndor's question, nodded.
"The one I bought was the second best. There was indeed a better one, but it was way too costly.
"It could only be used ten tis and cost like 500,000 points. Even if I wished to, we don't even have that many points to buy it."
"Huh?"
Eryndor frowned, before replying.
"That's expensive as fuck. Even if there was a tracker sll bought from the Support Shrine which can only be purified by the highest quality purifier, that tracker sll itself must be extrely expensive as well.
"How can Team Jonathan buy it?"
"Maybe they found so precious resources which they sold to the Support Shrine?"
"Sounds stupid, but possible."
The team discussed among themselves as Eryndor thought about sothing else.
What if they brought materials from the outside?
We can only bring stuff which isn't above our level, even an escape treasure is a hard pass. All the students were checked for that.
So does this an this tracker thing is not above our level and we can deal with this? Or did they find a way to circumvent this issue?
Chuck it, let's just eliminate this team.
As they kept narrowing the distance between them, Eryndor notified his team.
"We should be soon entering their range, be alert."
As expected, Team Irene imdiately organised themselves and faced their direction as soon as Eryndor and his team entered their range of sensing.
Eryndor yelled from a distance.
"We are here to talk, not to attack!"
Their leader, Irene, the young woman in lead yelled back.
"Put down your weapons and I'll believe you!"
Eryndor's eye twitched. He really didn't want to cooperate with such pieces of trash if it wasn't necessary.
He yelled once again, closing the distance without dropping his weapon.
"Do you think we're stupid? Or are you the one stupid?"
Before the young woman could reply, Eryndor continued, deciding to teach them a lesson in their own ways before it beca troubleso to talk to them.
"Do you think I don't know about the nine treasure bombs you hid to the north of your camp?
"Do you think I don't know about one of your mbers tinkering with a box shaped object behind his back?
"Do you think I don't realise that even now you're urging three of your teammates to do sothing with the hand signals behind your back?
"There's more stuff you have hidden behind one of the trees, do you want to say it out loud or can you be fucking cooperative?
"We are serious about cooperating with you to eliminate Team Jonathan. Please give a quick response."
Eryndor knew that only the final point about things being hidden behind one of the trees was the true threat to Irene.
She had hidden that there as a failsafe against her own team mbers if they decided to betray her.
If Eryndor spoke out loud what was hidden and for what purpose, then there was a high chance of unfortunate situations occurring within her team.
How did he know that?
Irene narrowed her eyes. She looked calm, but was inwardly panicking.
She had hidden those things behind the tree with utmost caution and secrecy, such that not even her own team knew when she did that.
She also had her surveillance skill on at all ti at maximum range, and no one had arrived in that ti fra.
Irene prided herself on her surveillance skill, but if soone had a much higher range, then she had truly lost so montum.
Taking a deep breath, she agreed to the cooperative talks.
Eryndor and his team ca face to face with Team Irene for the first ti, with two people imdiately recognising each other.
It was Edward, and one person from the opposite camp.
Is that the second year senior helping Irene's group?
Eryndor only held that thought for a brief minute before focusing on Irene.
"I want to know how to remove this tracking sll we have on us, and how many teams there are under Team Jonathan."
Irene shook her head.
"Shouldn't you offer sothing first?"
Eryndor was really getting tired of this attitude.
If they had shown a better side earlier, he would have really offered sothing first, like exposing so of his insane range, as that was usually the etiquette, but he didn't feel like it now.
With a similarly off handed attitude, he replied.
"I offer to hold your secrets for you. I'm sure you don't want them being revealed. Yes?"
Irene clenched her fists by her side as she took a deep breath and replied.
"Fine. I'll go first.
"Team Jonathan is not at the top of the pyramid.
"There are in total thirty seven teams which are working for Team Jonathan, and Team Lance, both of whom are working for Team Ricky, which is at the top of this pyramid as far as I know.
"And about this tracker sll, it was exchanged from the Support Shrine. It is that of the highest quality.
"They paid close to twelve million points for all teams to have enough for the first week.
"If you want to get rid of it, you'll need the highest quality of purifier."
Eryndor, and everyone else on his team's eyes went wide as they heard the number.
Eryndor replied with a dazed expression.
"Twelve million? Why the fuck spend so much? They could have been on top of the leaderboard with that number with a huge gap to spare."
