Chapter 671: [671] Convoy.



The convoy was proceeding smoothly, despite Elijah's expectations.

"Hmm."

He hummed a soft tune, sitting on top of one of the vehicles and feeling the wind caress his face. He hadn't expected such a leisurely journey. He had, at the very least, guessed that there would be one monster attack.

Either humanity had gotten rid of the monsters in the vicinity of the first city Gigantium, or the monsters were being held at bay by the numerous artifacts and other measures taken by the association.

It was a wonder how they worked, but also not in his interests to figure them out. Serena was there to take care of all that. He wondered why Harrison even sent him here on a mission like this.

If it was going to be so peaceful, he wouldn't have come here. He hadn't even met the famed mammoths and yeti's that he was warned about. S-rank monsters that had to migrate because of the destruction of their previous habitat.

But there hadn't been anything, the path to the north had been clear, so Elijah just decided to enjoy the scenery. A crude road had already been built towards the location, so they just had to follow it.

He wasn't doing this for no reason at all, not only was he allowing his tired mind to relax, but was also actively scanning the surroundings to prevent any mishaps. There was also another reason.

Previously, whilst they were making their journey towards the designated location, he had encountered a field of flowers that were ruthlessly being harvested by Twilight officials. He thought there was meaning behind it, maybe used for medical purposes, like the creation of potions...

But he was wrong, they weren't harvesting those flowers to use them, they were burning them all up. He found this out the hard way when he sneaked towards them and fell flat on his face when he got near one of the containers.

The convoy had to make an entire stop to retrieve him, and he was out for a reasonably long time, too. Apparently, those flowers had a weakening effect on young dragons...

Alan and Kazikato had been dealt pretty hard by them when they visited Gigantia, and Elijah was no different. Richard, the guild leader of Twilight, apparently had plans to make those flowers extinct.

It was an embarrassing moment for him... He had gone there, doing his absolute best to remain hidden to steal, but it backfired.

'Karma.'

He thought, gazing ahead with a melancholic stare. He was getting bored, if he was being honest. Everyone was busy with their own stuff, Henry was busy sleeping, Serena was doing her own work, whilst Gary was getting ready for his job.

He heard Serena's voice from behind, she was holding a tablet in one of her hands and crouched, examining the soil beneath her.

"Yeah, I can see that."

Elijah replied, trying his best not to be swept by the currents as he got closer to the ravine. He had to use his own mana to keep most of it at bay, but he had to be careful, a single mistake would cause the mana to go berserk, or worse.

'Boom.'

He shuddered, and asked Serena.

"So, do you have a plan?"

She didn't answer for a while, a grim look apparent on her delicate face.

"If I'm being honest, we might have to dig around it to get whatever is inside, we did bring every item we had that could help... But the chances are slim."

Elijah silently listened, using [Dragon Eyes] to spot any unique material he could find beneath, he found a lot, but he had to stop the usage of [Dragon Eyes] before it, quite

literally, turned him blind.

He was regretting not taking the chance to sleep, nothing had happened anyway... he probably

should have slept.

"I guess you have to go down there yourself, Good Luck!"

She said, Elijah sighed and opened the [Store] of his system. Alan and Kazikato may not have

had a way to get down there due to the harsh conditions... But he did.
