Even though Zion didn't know what Martin was thinking, he knew that the dhampir soldier did have some ideas in his head. After all, the man was also a soldier with a high IQ. Otherwise, why would the officials in the dhampir kingdom even hire someone with low IQ and contact abilities? Okay, if he looked at Martin's low stature, he wouldn't be able to connect him with a soldier, but the man did have some combat and thinking ability. He didn't have to explain some things as he would to others.
So he looked at Martin and secretly gestured to him to go.
Martin nodded and glanced at the soldier and said with a gentle smile on his face, "Where do I wait until then?"
The soldier was displeased with the human, but he didn't want to destroy his relationship with the dhampirs. Even though the dhampirs had lost their Vanne kingdom, the dwarfs still wanted to keep their relationship intact because their princess and even the young prince, Heath Vanne, was also alive and well. So they were all convinced that the Vanne Kingdom would climb back on its feet in no time.
The soldier smiled and said, "Follow me."
Martin nodded and followed the soldier inside a small office at the side of the gate and said, "Is this where the dwarf lady would sit most often?"
The soldier shook his head as he walked over to the door. "This is the security man's room. Wait here a bit until the lady herself returns. We will keep giving you beverages time on time. Don't worry. You are our guest."
Martin understood. This soldier was indirectly implying that they would continue to keep a watch on him, and if he went missing, they would take action on him. Martin frowned at this. Why were they keeping an eye on him like this? Weren't they aware of the fact that he was trying to find the clues, and he only had a month for that?
There must be something that these soldiers were trying to hide! His expressions became grave. He remembered the sound of that dwarf lady who looked like a fairy coming down from the heavens and compared it with the sound they had heard in that room.
For a while, he could vaguely feel that something was wrong. His lips pursed as he sat on one corner.
To be honest, even he was affected by the beauty of that lady, but since no one was observing him, he only stayed silent. But he was more shocked on why the lady would approach a human out of all people. Was there some mystery hidden inside this fiasco?
He frowned. He didn't do any damage by sending the human servant off to that dwarf lady, right? If he did, he would have to escape this place and quickly find clues. He wanted to sneak inside the house of that dwarf lady and find the clues in her absence.
Or better yet, should he go back to that dark room?
When he thought about it, he picked up going to the dwarf lady's house first. He would then go back to the room after finding more clues. After thinking about it, he decided to find out how he could escape this place. He glanced at the door and squinted his eyes. Then he got up and walked over.
"Is someone there?"
One of the soldiers walked over and asked, "What is it?"
"I want to meet the lady and ask her about the case. She might know something, perhaps."
The soldier was silent for a while before he opened his mouth and said, "Wait until her date is finished. We'll bring you to her place."
He didn't want to wait until then! Martin asked in a gentle voice again, "Then, can I go back to the hotel? I think I would find the officials to ask them questions about this case."
The soldiers standing outside the place exchanged glances and finally relented. They could keep the person inside if he wanted to stay inside, but at this time, they knew this dhampir soldier wasn't a criminal who had committed an offense in the kingdom. They had no right to capture him here. If the man wanted to find the evidence in another place, they would have to let him go.
So they opened the door and reluctantly let the man out of that place.
Martin nodded at them and boldly walked out of the theatre place right in front of the eyes of these people. When he was out of their sight, he turned around and rushed to the side of the boundary wall that was isolated to the entire theatre group as he jumped over it.
Then he glanced here and there before climbing down the boundary wall without being seen by anyone. Since the other soldiers were stopping him from wandering around in this place, he was sure that the office and personal house or any chamber of the leader of this dwarf lady was somewhere around here. He was sure that he would be able to find evidence just by finding the place that these people were trying to hide with all their hearts.
After jumping back, he took a deep breath and remembered Zion's skill of shadow spying. He could tell that the human had learned it well in the past, and this skill was helpful in major cases. So he silently thanked the man and copied that skill as his body seemed to have merged into the shadows. In reality, he just stood surrounded by the things that would create a lot of shadows just like Zion would.
Then he walked through the forest without looking back while holding his breath at the same time.
When he got to the place where the soldiers were standing before outside the room, he saw two of them sitting on the stairs as they chatted amongst themselves.
"I didn't believe she chose a human in the end."
"Met neither." Another dwarf said with a dark expression on his face as he sneered. "We have treasured her lady for years so much that we don't even take her name. I personally feel like my mouth is too filthy to take her name. I shouldn't dirty her pure and innocent name like this. But then, she turned around and took a human on a date! Who does that?!"
"I say, let's kill that human!" The first soldier spoke in a cold voice. "If there are no humans, I don't think we'll be envious of other people like this."
"Are you mad?! Do you want to hurt her lady this much?!"
The first man heard this and fell silent. Then he shook his head and said, "Forget it. It's her lady's happiness we are talking about. If she feels happy with a human, let her be."
"But I wish we could capture that dhampir soldier. I fear he will do something and find out the hidden secret of our lady."
The second man shuddered when he thought of that.
"We should absolutely not let others find out anything about it.!"
The other soldier nodded at this as if he were agreeing to his friend.
Martin heard this conservation until they both fell silent and finally started moving. He walked toward the garden like a thing covered with trees as he moved his body stealthily onward. Honestly, he didn't even know whether the way he was going was right or wrong. But this was the only thing he could do. After all, from the conservation he had heard earlier, he could tell that this lady had a secret for herself that all the soldiers knew about, but they didn't dare to let the outsiders be aware of it.
Martin frowned at this. He would have to share this information with Zion after meeting the man again.
Just as he was thinking of this, he saw a small circular house created out of glistening stones. Just by looking at it made him think of that dwarf lady. This must be her house.
After thinking like this, he easily walked through the shrubs and moved around the house to find an opening. Only after searching for a while did he find a window at the top. He climbed on the tree and jumped inside the opened window.
Just as he climbed inside, his entire body was shrouded with darkness. His eyes squinted as he tried to observe his surroundings, but no matter how much he tried to do this, he still couldn't. He wasn't some dhampir royal or elf to use magic. He was a hybrid who could only use martial arts skills to kill the enemies. After thinking of it, he took out a magical lighter that he had bought from the elf kingdom on the passing and brightened it up using their mechanism.
When it was brightening up, just as he wanted to look around, he tripped onto something. He fell on his face as the small round brightening object fell on the ground as it rolled over toward his feet.
He rubbed his nose, and just as he got up, he was stunned to see a hand poking out of the table. His eyes traveled inside only to see a dead body lying lifelessly inside the table.
His eyes widened at that.
Another dead body?!
