Chapter 856 The last one

856 The last one

When the two of them appeared, the same thing as before happened where they questioned what happened here.

They received the same answer as everyone else who came before them, which was no answer at all.

After all, there was nothing that they could say in response to this.

They didn't know anything about this in the first place.

"We can't just remain passive like this." One of the first two cloaked figures that showed up in the clearing suddenly said this.

The others all looked at this cloaked figure with strange looks, as if they were wondering what they were talking about.

Seeing everyone else looking at them, they said, "We have to gather and protect the artifacts. It's clear that there is someone targeting them, so we have to get ahead of them."

"Targeting them? Is there something that you're not telling us?"

That cloaked figure revealed a bitter look and looked at their partner as if they were hesitating to say something.

When the other cloaked figures saw this, it was as if they figured something out.

"Something already happened to your artifact?"

There was a moment of silence before that cloaked figure and their partner gave a slow nod.

Seeing this, the other cloaked figures didn't condemn them or say anything about this. Instead, they deeply knitted their brows as if they were thinking about this before one of them said...

"We need to gather everyone if we're going to do this. It isn't just our problem alone, this is everyone's problem at this rate..."

The other cloaked figures had heavy looks on their faces, but they eventually nodded in agreement. They knew that what this cloaked figure had said was correct, so they couldn't hesitate on this matter.

...

"This will be the last one." Scar suddenly said from beside me.

I had been looking out the window of the carriage as we traveled along the road.

When he said this, I turned to look at him and gave a casual nod as if I didn't really seem to care.

The other guards that were outside were surprised to see me stop all of a sudden and they also wanted to follow me and Scar, but I stopped them in the end.

Once Scar and I were aside, I said to him who had a confused look on his face, "This is the last one, we need to come up with a plan."

Scar looked even more confused when he heard this.

He looked at me in silence for a few seconds before asking, "What do you mean by that? Everything has been going smoothly, there's no need for us to do anything."

I shook my head in response.

It was true that everything had been going smoothly in taking care of the various dark crystals that were around the country, but this made me feel that something was off.

After all, it had been too easy that it didn't seem like it was right.

It felt like there was something building up behind the scenes, which was why I wanted to make preparations.

I could see Scar looking at me as if he thought that I was overthinking this.

This was the way that he looked at me whenever I said that this was too easy.

However, I didn't mind it as I said, "All you have to do is..."

I laid out my plan to him in detail.

When he was done listening, Scar gave a sigh as he said, "Alright, but this will turn out to be a waste of time."

I gave a nod without saying anything.

As long as we did this, I would at least feel much more relieved.

Whether something happened or not.

Completely forgot to post this.
