Chapter 570 Information?
A few more days passed with Vicente's group in Oldbarrow.
In that time, Casey had reached the level Vicente and Layla were at, becoming a High-level Mage!
Layla was a little ahead of Casey in terms of strength coupled with the density of her mana, but the difference between them was tiny. She had advanced a few weeks before him, so their strengths could be considered quite similar from the point of view of their cultivation.
But of course, in terms of combat skills, they were very different since Layla had a special movement skill, while Casey had a mental one.
Both of them could fight and be considered warriors. Still, while he was a long-range fighter, she was a short-range fighter who preferred close combat, unlike him, who kept his distance from his opponents.
As for Vicente, he was at the threshold between the 3rd and 4th stages, already very close to advancing. He wouldn't advance anytime soon, but from now on, 15 to 30 cultivation sessions should be enough for him to advance.
Just going into seclusion wouldn't guarantee his breakthrough for the time being. Since neither Torne nor he knew for sure when his breakthrough would come, they preferred to act in Oldbarrow right away.
Why not? Why not wait? Simply because there were advantages and disadvantages to waiting for the advance.
The advantage was obvious: more power for Vicente. But the downside was attracting more attention, reducing the chances of being underestimated, and losing opportunities to act sooner.
Specific plans may only work if they were immediately made because if they were delayed, they might not work due to some conditions that could not be met.
Vicente and his group would soon learn this was the case with their current situation!
Either they acted in the next few days, or it would be much more difficult for them to go ahead with their plans!
...
In a medium-sized restaurant in Oldbarrow, Vicente, Layla, and Casey sat on the same side of a table in a dark and secluded part of the establishment.
"Is he in the city?" Vicente asked.
"No. I tried to probe the Bone Mountains for business with Elder Dax and discovered he had left the city a few weeks ago. But the reason for his movement didn't seem to be anything serious or complicated. He should be back soon. Elders like him don't stay away for long." This informant said.
"What about his friends and family?"
"His son, wife, and two friends are in the city. But Elder Eloise traveled with him..." The man said in an amused tone, sensing that the rumors about those two were true.
"I see..." Vicente paid the two and then left with the information about The Fallen Angels on his spatial ring while he thought about what he had just discovered.
'You must use this man's absence to move against these four people, master.' Torne said as Layla and Casey walked beside Vicente. 'Wherever he went, he'll be back in the city soon, even if we don't act. And he may hurry if something happens to these people.
So you should act against those people and then wait for him to return.'
Vicente felt that this was the case. Dax had a lot of powerful friends, so it would be difficult to take action against him with everyone he cared about in Oldbarrow. But with such a target and his mistress out of the city, it would be easier for him to act!
"We'll act tomorrow night," Vicente told Layla and Casey, determined to start his revenge!
Gulp!
"What are you going to do?" Layla asked worriedly.
"I'll tell you my plans when we return to the cultivation room. In any case, we must take advantage of his absence in the city to act." He looked at Casey and said. "I need you to take care of those two informants. Make them forget the work they did for us."
"Okay!"
With that, the group split up, with Vicente and Layla returning to the cultivation room while Casey went to do the job.
