Chapter 3913 Following
I scanned my badge on the unassuming tree. There was no reaction, but I knew it had happened.
That done, I didn't stay even for a second.
Arvos had many protocols. Every organization had them for those returning after a year or more.
When I reach the organization, a week later. They will be ready for me.
I am quite fearful of that moment.
I am scared, that they will know who I am and will be ready to deal with me.
Avros is older, far older than Tor; they have methods to make even people like me talk. Getting caught by them would be a fate worse than death.
I know the risks, but I know it will be worth it.
Not only for me but also for Tor. The organization has helped me tremendously, and it is only wise that I should pay it back by doing missions like this.
Thud!
Soon it was ten, and I landed by the thick trees and took out the abode, before going inside.
I quickly freshened and walked into the kitchen.
I have only a week to eat to eat my own food. As Ranis doesn't cook, he usually eats the packaged food or goes out.
It would be too suspicious if Ranis started cooking one and a half years later.
I cooked the simple dinner, before bringing it to the porch and ate it alone. Watching the night sky, which is the same as outside; the above is copying it.
I finished the dinner and cleaned the dishes before going to the practice room.
There I sat down and closed my eyes.
A moment later, I started practicing the method. It is a soul method, which I have been practicing for the past six months.
They had started on it, a day after training started. They didn't explain the purpose, just told me it is required.
It is the soul method that Renis Card used.
He suffers from a hereditary soul problem. It is not fixable but could be managed. As long as it managed; it didn't affect his practice or breakthrough.
It even provides him with great benefits.
I do not have a need for these benefits, since dance does a pretty good cleansing, but I need it to keep the façade.
Ranis used to practice this method for hours daily and I will do the same.
Hun!
A day passed, and a few hours, when suddenly I sensed someone following me.
It is a woman. She is maintaining a distance above my soul range and has quite a good stealth method.
She is also a High-Sky Sovereign.
I thought it looter and continued without anything. Confident about my ability to deal with them, but as the hours passed, I noticed she was not a looter.
I begin to get investigate deeper, before finally sending the seed toward her.
It had reached her in a few minutes and seeped inside her. She didn't discover it; there would be some chance if she had a Peak Sky Sovereign, a powerful one.
She isn't powerful enough to sense my seed.
Seconds passed and slowly her meta-scan appeared. Soon, I could see the marks of a familiar inheritance.
It is an inheritance of Avros.
It is likely they had sent her to trail me. It might also be true, that she is a looter, nothing could be said.
Hun!
A few minutes passed, when I nearly stopped.
The scan had reached her constitution and there I saw the same changes, that I had seen in those scans.
'So, she is one of the trusted,' I thought.
Only the people trusted. Like those extremely loyal born in an organization and the descendent of higher, get the opportunity to go to the place where these changes happen.
Avros extremely strict about that place and few even know about the place.
Ranis tried for decades, but he was only able to find out about the place. He didn't even gain, that much of the deep information.
It is why, I am here.
My mission is to gain information and collect the proof. That will give the cause to the organization to come here.
It won't be an easy mission, but I am confident in my capabilities.
That I will be able to achieve the mission.
Hours passed and turned into days. The woman kept following me; she always maintained the distance, never getting too close.
She is still following me as I cross the boundary of the Avros.
