Chapter 199: Providing Intelligence

Chapter 199: Providing Intelligence

Fulin, the witch, mentioned that the document detailed the steps for summoning devils and signing contracts with them.

According to her, this document not only contained information but was also an indispensable item during the contract signing.

So, it needed to be retrieved.

Otherwise, the consequences of its misuse could be dire.

"Wait..."

Upon hearing "devil summoning ritual," memories of death flooded Hua Mi's mind.

Summoning devils... signing contracts with them...

Inside his meditation sphere, he happened to possess a contract signed with a devil.

It was seized from a mage in a gray robe last year.

At that time, as he delved into his mental sphere, merely glancing at the contract sparked a strong sense of discomfort. The devil's words seemed to carry inherent power.

"Could it be that the person the witch is seeking is the one in the gray robe?" Hua Mi pondered without revealing his thoughts.

It might not just be a coincidence.

Perhaps she obtained a clue, learning that the target had ventured toward the Black Forest.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Thus, Fulin arrived in the vicinity and coincidentally encountered Hua Mi.

In the context of the entire western continent, McKang Village and the Black Forest were essentially one focal point.

Considering this, if Fulin truly had a lead, their meeting wouldn't be entirely coincidental.

Cautiously, Hua Mi inquired, "When was it stolen?"

Fulin replied, "The theft happened quite a while ago, about two years back. However, that person was well-prepared. Exploiting our trust and adept concealment skills, they managed to deceive us for a long time. We only discovered the missing item recently."

Hua Mi knew that the gray-robed figure had settled outside a tower in a village in the Sulfur Card Principality for a substantial period three years ago, nearly staying for two years, remaining reclusive and enigmatic throughout.

Such prolonged seclusion couldn't have been without purpose; there must have been clandestine activities.

Previously, Hua Mi speculated that the gray robe figure had conducted devil-contract rituals and perhaps the creation of resurrection corpses there.

If indeed it was the gray-robed figure who stole it, considering Fulin's mentioned timeframe, they were residing in that tower when the theft occurred at the Witch Academy, acquiring that document.

Similarly, the creation of resurrection corpses was a forbidden practice not sanctioned by society.

Perhaps the gray-robed figure learned it from the Witch Academy.

However, creating resurrection corpses didn't require the document itself as material; only memorizing the steps was necessary, not taking away the record.

Good, very good.

It seemed the dean wouldn't show mercy to the gray-robed figure because of past connections.

Not having a love-struck mind was better.

With this, Huami felt relieved.

He coughed and half-jokingly said, "You're lucky to have run into me. The person you're looking for, I happen to have encountered."

Yes.

Huami intended to lay everything out to her.

Originally, he wanted nothing to do with matters related to demons, fearing endless troubles. Now that someone was willing to take responsibility, he would cooperate fully to pass the buck.

Fulin looked at him with surprise, "You've seen the gray-robed Onute?"

Huami nodded and told her everything that had happened back then.

In the quiet night, they had plenty of time to discuss.

So, Huami explained everything in detail this time.

After hearing his words, Fulin pondered for a while and said, "The contract document wouldn't be easily destroyed. The possibility of him hiding it somewhere is more likely."

Indeed...

Murphy's Law, things always tend to develop in the direction of trouble.

Fulin wasn't interested in the death of the gray-robed figure; she cared only about where the item was.

Upon hearing that there was another meditation ball, she requested to take a look inside.

Huami didn't refuse, taking out the meditation ball and holding it in his palm.

Both of them released their mental power, probing into it.

In the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a vast, white space.
