Chapter 827 Familiar
"We're finally here..." Aubrey muttered after seeing the familiar town below them.
Following a journey that spanned several hours, the grand Airship gently descended, coming to rest in the bustling Miner Town nestled within Monforte County.
The sight of the majestic Airship had obviously gathered attention and several Arcanists of various ranks, police officers, and even the town mayor were alerted by their arrival.
Some of them thought that a noble had graced their town and, perhaps, was about to share some blessings with them.
However, they soon recognized Aubrey, and most of the people gathered there immediately dispersed. Many of them, especially those old ones, may not hate Aubrey, but they have to avoid her.
She dealt with entities that couldn't be seen with normal eyes, and they didn't want to get energy from her.
Thud...
As Vale and Aubrey disembarked and entered the town, they were greeted by the lively hum of the town's streets, teeming with traders and travelers going about their daily routines.
Opting to rent a carriage, Vale and Aubrey set off towards Aubrey's office, a place where she worked as a Paranormal Investigator.
"Are you famous in this area?" Vale asked after the commotion a while ago. He noticed that there were a lot of people who were disappointed after seeing her. He couldn't help but find this amusing.
"Famous? Maybe... They need to know me since there have been a lot of paranormal activities around here lately... To be honest, there were several towns nearby that had an increased number of similar cases." She replied.
"Ohh... Do you think it's related to the ghost you were looking for?" Vale asked.
The two of them continued with their light conversation as their carriage rattled along cobbled streets lined with picturesque shops and old buildings...
The weather seemed quite pleasing as the sun cast a golden glow over the town.
Vale felt like this was a great vacation after staying in that castle for a long time and was busy doing various missions to save the main body.
"Any intriguing requests among the letters?" Vale inquired, his voice had a hint of anticipation as Aubrey shared the details of a peculiar case involving a haunted cemetery that had garnered significant attention in the town.
Multiple requests had flooded in from concerned visitors seeking to eliminate or banish the mysterious presence that haunted the graveyard...
This task piqued Aubrey's interest since there were several victims already... Furthermore, all the victims are young females.
"Do you want to check the place with me?"
Aubrey asked after revealing the extent of the requests related to the cemetery haunting...
"Let's go... Do you want to check it now, or would you still be resting?" Vale asked since he was worried that Aubrey was tired after just arriving.
"Ugh... Now that you said it, let's go later at night to check the situation. There's a higher chance that the spirit will show at that time." She replied.
Vale nodded in understanding.
"Very well."
After some time had passed, under the shroud of night, Vale and Aubrey ventured into the grounds of the cemetery...
As they reached a certain area in the graveyard, they felt as if they just crossed the threshold into the realm of the supernatural. A sense of spiritual power enveloped them.
Then, Vale's keen senses detected a familiar presence...
'This is...' Vale frowned as he recalled what kind of energy this was.
As they followed the direction of the spirit, they soon noticed a translucent figure chained on the ground. This figure was beautiful without a doubt...
"A messenger, a fallen angel..." Vale murmured, his voice tinged with recognition as he gazed upon the being that stood before them.
"Is that the messenger I've heard of?!" Aubrey exclaimed while her gaze fixed on the apparition. She felt a sense of awe and wonder at the sight of this mysterious being.
