"RISE... my shadows..."
His shadow on the ground parted, split into three silhouettes, or figures. As they rose to the ground, the three shadows looked at their master with different reactions. One looked confused. One looked excited. And the last one looked at Caleb with disdain. "Tell , why do you guys have such a personality? Then he looked at the one that always looked at him with mockery. "And you, do you dislike that much?"
The last shadow snorted disdainfully and did not respond, which made Caleb speechless.
Caleb could only shake his head speechlessly. Then, his expression beca serious. "I have a mission for you three. Well, this mission is not that difficult. You just need to steal scrolls for ."
The three shadows look at each other as if they are deep in thought. Caleb did not know if his three shadows could actually think that deeply. But he knew that they were capable of understanding him.
So he does not need to worry that they won't know what to do. His three shadows have basic intelligence.
'Maybe I should have brought Voli just in case... I wonder if the servants had already fed Voli. He entrusted Voli to the servants first before coming here... And fortunately, there was a place that was suitable for him in their mansion.
A reserved place that has a low temperature that Voli likes.
Just like that, the three shadows flew one after another to the direction of the Kui Mountain. S
seeing them disappear from his sight, Caleb nodded and looked around him. Then, he saw a thick brown ten-ter tree. He went to the shade of the tree and sat on the ground, intending to wait for good news.
He just closed his eyes to share the senses of the three shadows. He could see what they see, could hear what they hear, and could feel what they could feel. This is the shared sense or their spiritual link due to their master and servant relationship. The three shadows landed in front of a gate. It was a very large gate with an emblem of the dragon in the center and had grim gemstones etched on the lines.
There are patterns, green patterns with the Chinese language on the side of the gate written using ink.
Caleb, who was connected to the vision of the shadow, could not help but beco confused. 'The hell? Why is there the language of Chinese here? Could it be? Kui family actually a Chinese family? Or are they half Filipino, half Chinese?
Caleb, who had his eyes closed in the distance below the tree, rubbed his chin subconsciously as his train of thought was stimulated.
'That's why Hui Kui looks like that. Yellow skin and sharp eyes. No wonder. He also has a different accent than average people.
He ended his contemplation and commanded his shadows to move forward.
The three shadows slipped through the gate effortlessly. The physical barriers could not obstruct them. Behind the gate, Caleb saw four guards on duty through the vision of his shadows. The four guards had the strength of an Extraordinary Realm.
'Not bad, not bad. Not bad at all... They had extraordinary realms as guards..."
Caleb nodded. Then, his eyes widened. 'Motherfucker! It's not too extravagant!?'
One had to know that even in the De Vera Mansion, there is only Alfred, the sole genetic warrior who works for them.
But here, there are four guards of the extraordinary realm! What kind of shit was that?
Did not this an that Hui Kui's family is extraordinary? However, he also finds it kind of reasonable. To have a mountain with mist everywhere... Well, kinda.
Maybe the Kui family is hiding sothing or they are a family of experts.
"Did you know? The clan leader had passed a new decree. Every male family mber who hasn't reached the awakening realm would be kicked out of the clan."
One of the guards said.
Caleb, could not help but beco interested in the conversation of the four guards.
"Really? Well, you know the clan leader. He hates diocrity. He only prioritizes useful things. He only cares about people that would benefit him. Even if it was his family, he wouldn't accept it. That's the clan leader." "Dang! It's not that too difficult. Does he want to disown every mber of Kui clan? I don't know what the clan leader is thinking."
"It's not that easy to beco an awakening realm by any ans. Well, it's not for us to think of we are just lowly guards. We just have to guard. Let's not talk about this. It would be bad if soone heard us."
Caleb smirked. 'Well, I can hear you.'
'Does the clan head of Kui have a screw loose on his head? Why would he pass down such a decree to his family? So fucking high standard,'
Caleb secretly spat.
However, this information does not help him in any way though, so the three shadows imdiately dart in different directions. The three shadows infiltrated every household in the boundary. No security asures could stop them due to their intangible nature. Even extraordinary experts that they passed could not detect their existence at all. They blended the shadows of the things around them. From shadows of trees, stones, and walls, it was like their playground. There are people dressed in blue robes everywhere. Most of those who wear blue robes are adults. Then there are teenagers in white robes and brown pants. And Caleb realized that the people in the area just wore wooden shoes and white socks. Now that Caleb saw the entire picture of the Kui family, the place of the Kui family, he could not help but appreciate the beauty and their taste.
It was like a traditional Chinese residence. The place was like a sacred temple. In total, there are 20 architectural buildings. Then there are two shrines on the west and to the east. In the middle of the Kui boundary, there is a temple. The architectural buildings were mostly made of wooden materials. And there are signs everywhere with calligraphy. The shadows could hear conversations randomly as they changed places from ti to ti. For those conversations, they are just random things about daily life with no useful information.
So Caleb did not bother to listen to them. This is also the strong point of shadow assistants. They are excellent spies. They are like his remote drones that can listen and spy on the conversations and actions of people. They are excellent scouts.
