Hah? You want to ask how our operation is going? Elena, why are you suddenly asking about that just casually asking? Hm, were in the middle of a competition right now, Ill tell you afterward no? Strange, what are you so impatient for, dont you know about it as well? Lin Xiao should have told you detailed specifics? Its related to where Lin Xiao went? Eh? Really? Okay, okay, then Ill tell you.
Faced with Elenas repeated questioning, Rosie couldnt dissuade her and could only start quietly chatting with her.
Theyve never really had a close relationship, this is the first ti that Elena has voluntarily spoken to her from what she rembers, so it felt new.
The aloof maid finally needed so help, and couldnt help but ask Rosie to share information. And Elena did this because she was worried about her master Rosies earlier judgnt was right, Elena has a secret physical relationship with her master. Look, its not even been a half day and shes already worried, thats the best proof.
Of course, Rosie wasnt soone who would hold onto soones ponytail and not let go. She slowed her pace and quietly chatted with Elena.
As for their operation, it was best that Caesar didnt find out. Although Shen DaiYing might be a killer, but she didnt have any definitive proof. Secretly investigating was one thing, viciously slandering soone was another.
You should know the approximate situation from Lin Xiao, right? You probably just dont know what happened later on.
Later on?
It turns out that a couple of days ago, Lin Xiao went to Rosie and the two carefully went over all the details of everything related to Shen DaiYing and found a useful clue.
Although they had no way of proving it (and of course Lin Xiao didnt confess all his information), but they found a connection between all three assassinations.
The rchant Jackson, the finance minister David, and the Great Sage Hobson if these three were all killed by Shen DaiYIng, then there must have been a common reason, if they could find it, then there would be a new breakthrough!
After I told Lin Xiao about all the information I obtained, his conclusion was human trafficking! Rosie seriously leaned next to Elenas ear while glancing at Caesar, afraid that he would hear.
It looked as if the three were not related in any way, but they had sothing in common they all had a close interest with human trafficking.
Jackson was a slave trader in the first place, he has a monopoly of it in Lombard Kingdom, he even does human trafficking in the black market. Hes been secretly increasing his influence, now that hes dead, all that has co crashing down.
David was Jacksons shield, they often conspired together and was paid off very well. Now that hes dead, the whole slave industry is being rearranged and the monopoly has been torn down really, a while ago my father said that he wanted to get into the slave trade, but I firmly disagreed? How could he do that? I dont want him to get assassinated for doing immoral business!
As Rosie wandered off topic, Elena glared at her and she quickly went back on track.
Hmph, Hobson is last the strange thing was, he was a very righteous person and had a clean record. He was one of the most trusted sages, if you had to find a connection, then he advocated for strict control of human trafficking, and restricting slave trades with the final goal of completely prohibiting it. He was too idealistic and perhaps he accidentally touched soone he shouldnt have and was marked.
After listening to all the information about those three, Elena fell into deep thought.
That was all the information that Lin Xiao and Rosie had, but Elena couldnt understand.
What did human trafficking have to do with Shen DaiYing? Was she helping people take care of them, then why did she have to co all the way to Lombard Kingdom to help soone?
Who is it, is it that fatty Anderson?
Wait did Lin Xiao already guessed Shen DaiYings next target? Elena quietly muttered.
Now she knew why those two suddenly disappeared!
Perhaps Lin Xiao could already tell who her next target was from the information, so he secretly followed her after she left.
Must have been, that guy likes her so much that he definitely would do sothing like that!
But now the question was, who was her next target?
Elena already had all the information, everything that Lin Xiao knows, but she still couldnt make out Shen DaiYings plans
Since she stealthily left, then that ant at least, her target was on Despair Island but which team?
Could it be those strange siblings from Bamboo Academy?
No, they shouldnt be involved with human trafficking.
Or is the the prince from Heino Academy?
No, why would he involve himself with human trafficking, he also wasnt trying to prohibit it like Hobson.
Cato and Water Academy were already eliminated, and Elena didnt know much about the remaining teams. Was there still soone else important among them? If that was the case, then theres no way she would know!
She could only ask Rosie to see if there were anyone within the teams that were related to human trafficking, like gangsters, slave traders, etc
Rosie tried rembering but ca out empty-handed.
Elena helplessly sighed and shook her head with an indescribable sense of disappointnt.
Lin Xiao already got the answer yet she was still in the dark and couldnt help at all but, why did she have to help?
On second thought, Elena forced herself to abandon those useless thoughts.
If Lin Xiao got involved and died, wouldnt that be better? Then she wouldnt have to go to Snow as the slave contract would naturally be dissolved on Lin Xiaos death.
Let him die then
Elena muttered and stopped bothering Rosie with questions.
On the fifth day of the competition, the remaining three people from Loran Academy followed the river and headed towards the final battleground.
The other two, unknown.
Despair Island, valley.
The four students wearing yellow uniforms advanced with difficulty within the valley.
This was the short path that cut through the valley. As hosts, Heino Academy knew this path, and they even had a map, so naturally they wouldnt miss out on this shortcut.
But it was easier said than done.
He already heard that this road was extrely bumpy and easy to stumble on, even though he regularly trains his body, as a magician it was very arduous.
It was well into the firth day, and Charles, Little Princess beautiful long robe was covered in dust. He cant help it since they were so high profile, it was their own fault that their robes bight yellow robes stood out like chrysanthemums in the green forest.
They were easily noticed by other teams even when they were really far away. Thought they knew that it was Heino Academy, but they all wanted to give it a try. Because if they were by chance successful then they could collect all their points and it was worth a shot!
The terrain was difficult to navigate, they were constantly ambushed, it was even painstaking for the incredibly skilled Devoru.
After the struggles throughout the day, the sun slowly set and night ca. They thought they could finally relax but it was just getting started.
They were almost out of the valley and Despair Forest was right before their eyes. After tonight, they would be able to enter the forest first thing in the morning and head towards the vault.
The problem was there was no suitable place to sleep here! It was especially easy to be ambushed at night so they had to do their due diligence.
After they set up camp and lit a campfire, the four huddled around it to rest.
As night fell, the flickering flas illuminated Charles cute face, making his fiery red hair even more vivid, his enchanting face looked just like a beautiful girl.
Eh? What is it Devoru, you keep staring at . Charles propped his head up with his hands, smiled and asked.
He noticed Devoru, who sat across from him, staring blankly at him.
N-nothing, prince. But The solemn Devoru who already placed his spear down, awkwardly averted his gaze when Charles questioned and quietly said, Scarlet Fairy
Oh? Hehe, its been a long ti since Ive been called that way, you made rember a lot of unpleasant mories.
Not many knew that nickna anymore, if possible, Charles wished that everyone would forget about it.
Prince, I definitely wont let the past repeat itself. For so reason, Devoru suddenly spoke of sothing else.
Okay, I believe you. Charles nodded his head, understanding what he ant and smiled.
Prince, please get so sleep. You can leave the night guard to us.
The night was getting dark and it was ti sleep. Devoru stopped engaging in idle chit chat, picked up his spear and prepared to start beginning the patrols with the other two.
Thanks for your hard work. Its the sixth day of the competition after tonight, you mustnt get lax.
Yes!
Yaawn good night. Charles yawned, shrank into his robe and prepared to sleep.
Devoru extinguished the fire after he saw Charles lay down and began patrolling.
A beautiful figure flashed by in the darkness, unbeknownst to anyone.
Her long black hair flowed in the night sky, her slender legs took graceful steps, her little delicate feet wrapped in a pair of dark red high-heels, giving off an off sense of beauty.
Sorry, Scarlet Fairy.
