Since the location of Black Scroll bar was not that far, Lucas only paid 1 Silver Coin for the fare. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Lucas then thanked the driver as he made his way to Black Scroll Bar.
The mont he entered, multiple gazes landed on him once again.
Ignoring them, Lucas glanced around and noticed Sylvia's figure sitting at one of the tables situated in the corner of the bar.
Sensing his gaze, Sylvia turned her head and upon seeing that it was Lucas, her eyes lit up as she raised and waved her hand for him to co over.
"Have you had your breakfast yet?" Sylvia asked softly as Lucas sat down on the chair opposite Sylvia.
"Yes. You?" Lucas replied.
"Not yet. Can you accompany ? Don't worry, my treat," she offered.
Aside from ales and other drinks, Black Scroll Bar also offers basic als. Most of the ti though, the als were used as bar snacks.
After hesitating for a bit, Lucas finally decided to nod his head in agreent.
Sylvia smiled and ordered their al.
Since Lucas had already eaten, he decided to share his food with Spot. Sylvia doesn't have any problem with that, earning looks of approval from Spot himself.
After they were done eating, Sylvia and Lucas exited the Black Scroll Bar and hailed a beast taxi.
"Where are you guys going?"
The driver seed friendly and was younger than the one earlier.
Two beasts were pulling the carriage behind.
"To Sander Street," Sylvia replied to the driver.
The driver nodded his head and did not ask questions any further.
"Is Shelsea there?" Lucas asked.
The purpose of this whole endeavor was for him to et Shelsea.
According to Sylvia, she was a little busy investigating the bandits and at the sa ti, searching for a suitable beast that they could hunt.
Lucas had obtained a basic map of Serene City before as well. The place was big and he could not morize all the places. However, Sander Street was sothing he would be able to forget easily.
After all, it was in Sander Street that a mini market would be set up every night by multiple independent stores.
In fact, Lucas had also planned to visit the place before. He had planned to see if any of the items or treasures he needed would be able in the mini market of Sander Street.
Hearing the destination ntioned by Sylvia, he couldn't help but ask for confirmation. After all, Sander Street during the morning would basically just be another ordinary street.
Sylvia nodded her head in affirmation.
"I ntioned before that she already has so leads regarding the bandit issue, right? Well, that leads to a person in Sander Street, so we're going there to et her and that person she suspected to be the cause of all the trouble we went through."
"I see. So that's how it is."
Shelsea and the others had already talked about this before.
It was clear as day that the bandits knew a great detail about their recent hunt for the Blood Elk.
Although it was only normal to obtain so information about them in Serene City, knowing such a great detail was clearly a source of suspicion.
Hence, Shelsea and the others had determined that they were betrayed by those people whom they obtained their information from.
One must note that when it cos to selling information, credibility was the top most thing to get prioritized.
The reason why Black Scroll Bar and the other bars could sell information openly, was because of their credibility.
They might sell so information, but they would surely not sell or even tell anyone about the information of their custors, and what they just bought from them.
Now, if soone had truly sold their information and inquiry to others, it was surely sothing that could not be allowed to exist in Serene City.
That was why Shelsea was pretty serious and decided to handle this matter on her own.
The beast taxi grew silent, and only the sounds of hooves galloping in the road could be heard.
Glancing around, Lucas realized that the road they were traveling on was sowhat busy.
Every minute or two, he would see another beast taxi bringing passengers to their designated destination.
A few minutes passed, and they were gradually getting closer to their destination as well.
And after more than fifteen minutes of travel, they finally arrived at their destination.
Syvlia paid the fare as both of them disembarked from the carriage.
She then led Lucas to a particular direction.
Lucas looked around and saw the empty street. However, despite it being empty, he still recognized it as Sander Street as there were marks at the sideways indicating that sothing heavy was recently placed in the area.
Since he planned to buy sothing here in the future, Lucas decided to get familiar with the direction and place while he was at it.
A few minutes of walking, Lucas finally saw Shelsea.
Wearing a simple blue shirt paired with a white trouser which was wrapped with lace connected to her shoes.
Her mature beauty was even more pronounced by what she was wearing. If previously she felt like a strong mature woman clad in bronze armor, now, she felt like the older sister next door that always helped the young neighbor boy.
Lucas secretly gulped, his eyes glued toward Shelsea at the distance.
Just like Teacher Christie, Lucas could confidently say that Shelsea was the type of woman that he likes.
Matter regarding love life, though, Lucas did not dare entertain at the mont. He doesn't have the luxury of ti to pursue such bliss yet.
Sensing his gaze, Shelsea also turned toward her head toward them.
Her eyes lit up upon seeing Lucas and Sylvia.
Whoever that eyes was directed to, no one knew except Shelsea herself.
"You guys are here. You're just in ti."
Lucas was not surprised that she seed to know that they would co.
Sylvia had already ntioned before that she told Shelsea about his purpose.
"Before we get to that, could you help with a little sothing?" Shelsea asked.
Lucas nodded his head, "No problem. What should I do?"
He had an inkling on what it was, but it was still better to ask just to make sure. He was no mind reader after all.
"I will be confronting an informant later. If he makes a sudden movent, and I am not able to react, can you help apprehend him?"
Hearing that, Lucas confird his assumptions. He nodded his head, indicating that it was not a problem.
In terms of body and physical strength, Lucas was actually a little weaker than Shelsea.
After all, Shelsea was already a Bronze Star 8 summoner and has already been enhanced by the grimoire multiple tis.
Lucas had just recently advanced to Bronze Star 1, and prior to that, it was only the Unranked Grade grimoire giving him minimal feedback for each promotion in rank.
If not for the fact that he was already pretty strong before he beca a summoner, Lucas did not think that his strength would be even half as strong with his current one.
However, despite her being stronger, Lucas could still confidently say that he could beat her in combat if they ever fought.
He would not be called a genius for nothing if he does not have any strong combat capabilities before obtaining the grimoire after all.
And besides, with his near invincible skills, the chances of Shelsea defeating him in a head-on fight was very slim.
Anyway, Shelsea explained the situation and the plan in detail.
She was sowhat worried before that the informant might escape, however, with the addition of Lucas and Sylvia, she did not think that this operation would fail at all.
As for her other mbers, they were on a sort of vacation right now after a successful hunt.
In fact, this matter could have been reported to the city guards and they would handle it for her.
However, knowing that the city guards were also swamped by other tasks, Shelsea decided to take the matter into her own hands instead.
"Right, what if the informant fights back? Can we act accordingly and use more force in the process if need be?"
Shelsea smiled and nodded her head.
"No problem. I still have so questions, though, so it's better if you only kill him after I finish with my questions. As for the trouble afterwards, you do not need to worry about it."
Lucas was tongue tied upon hearing that. He only asked if he could use more force as he was afraid that he might get into trouble with the guards.
Shelsea sohow misunderstood him and gave him the pass to kill the informant, but only after she was finished asking the questions.
She even guaranteed that there would be no trouble afterwards even after doing so.
Seeing how confident she was, Lucas did not ask anymore questions, afraid of being misunderstood once again.
After a while, Shelsea led them to a two storey building.
She looked at Lucas and Syvlia standing behind her one last ti before knocking on the door gently.
A few monts later, the door opened and the face of an unkempt middle-aged man ca into view.
With a quick glance, Lucas noticed that the man was unard, and did not summon his grimoire yet.
He was not guarded, and seed to not be afraid of doing so.
Considering that he was inside Serene City, then Lucas could sohow understand the reasoning behind his actions.
The man, though, upon seeing who it was that knocked the door, imdiately widened his eyes in shock and horror.
