On the Seven Towers

Ackley was shrouded in the invisibility spell cast by Anal, observing the actions of the Shadow Group from the side of the kitchen. I saw a man in this group of people holding a long sword standing at the door without moving. The rest of the people spread out in a tacit understanding and began to search the entire house.

Someone from the Shadow Group ran toward the kitchen. Ackley and Anal each stepped back and gave way to the kitchen door. The man came in and searched carefully, even opening the cabinet doors and drawers one by one. But how could Ackley and the others, who were more skilled than him, be discovered by a low-priced fighter? They took advantage of the gap behind him and ducked into the corridor outside the kitchen.

"It feels like except for the leader, these people have average skills." Although Anal is not a mage of the Tower of Dreams, he also has his own soul communication magic.

"Of course they are average in front of you, but to me, there are at least three of them that I can't see through," Ackley said.

"Well, I can't see through the leader. I really want to fight him." Ana'er said.

"Well, I think based on the current strength comparison, it's better for us to stay hidden." Ackley said.

Anal's chuckle came from the soul: "Of course I know. But when the time is right, we still have to meet the challenge. This is the way for us to grow, isn't it?"

Naturally, the people in the Shadow Group did not search for Glade. The latter's effect of turning into an earring was more convenient than being invisible. Like Ackley and others, they searched the restaurant for the longest time. Then we all went back to the man who looked like the leader.

"Gerardo, what did you find?" the leader asked.

"Sir Augusto, all the rooms have been searched, and there is no one." It was the "Archer in Black" Geraldo who was responsible for reporting. "According to our judgment, they left yesterday. We are late One step forward."

The analysis of everyone in the Shadow Group was basically the same as that of the three Ackleys, but Gerardo emphasized: "But after they left, someone else came here. We found new traces on yesterday's footprints. It is estimated that someone We’ve been here before to investigate.”

"It's strange, who would notice this insignificant guy like Julio." Augusto was deeply surprised.

"Is it Chinese?" Gerardo asked.

"The Chinese have long occupied the town of Arano, and his brother Ackley is not an important figure among the Chinese. He is just a very inconspicuous craftsman. To them, what does Julio's life or death mean? What's the significance? Could there be other forces thinking of controlling Ackley from Julio?" Augusto thought for a while but had no direction.

"Could it be the two lingering things from the Temple of Wisdom and the Temple of War?" Gerardo asked.

Augusto said: "There is no point in thinking too much, just stay vigilant. You go outside and find out where these people in this house have gone."

Gerardo led the others out the door. And Augustus sat down with his legs crossed at the door.

Ackley looked at Augusto with some worry and said: "This guy's aura is too dangerous. Even if I become invisible, I can't walk out of this door without telling him."

Ana'er said: "Why are you so anxious? Haven't they already done what you want to do for you? Just wait and see. The people from the Shadow Group of the Temple of Nature have a much deeper foundation here than we do. We can't find it. Maybe they can easily find out what we need to do.”

"That's all we can do." Ackley and Ana'er didn't dare to approach Augusto, and waited motionless in their original position without making any sound.

The waiting time seemed particularly long. After about half an hour, people began to come back and report that Julio should have been picked up by the Duke of Greenwood City. Someone in the elf community saw him riding in a carriage. Under the escort of some knights, they headed northeast of the city.

After a while, another person reported back and forth. They found out that Julio and another convoy met at the entrance of the library in the city, and then left the city through the east gate overnight.

About an hour later, Gerardo reported back in person: "Mr. Augusto, based on the news from the people stationed in the city guard, we analyzed that they should be heading to a villa in the east of the Duke's family. I I originally wanted to check with someone from the Duke's bodyguard, but he didn't seem to be in the city. However, according to various intelligence, the team should be carrying a large amount of property. I heard that the Chinese were coming, and the Duke of Greenwood City had to do it. To prepare, he may have arranged to give away some of his valuables.”

"Oh? In other words, if we catch up with this team, not only can we catch Julio, but maybe we can also find an 'offering' for the Temple of Nature?" Augusto raised the corner of his mouth and laughed softly. He stood up, and the people around him laughed in agreement.

"If necessary, we can ask the temple guards to send out some manpower to intercept it from the other end." Gerardo suggested.

"Do you want them to share some of our money?" Augusto sneered, "Immediately send a letter to the brothers in the branch and ask our own team to be sent out to intercept this convoy, while we Climb over the mountain road. The mountain road going east here is very winding. As long as we can go straight over the mountain, we can catch up in just ten hours. "

"Okay, sir, I will contact the Southwest Branch immediately." Gerardo said.

Augusto stood up and said: "Let's hurry up and set off!"

All the members of the Shadow Group left, and Ackley and the others waited for a while before coming out of hiding. Anar said, "It's clear now. Let's follow them and tell Luo Ling the general direction. Let's see who is the hunter and who is the prey."

——————————————

When the two groups left Julio's house, they didn't notice that there were two elves on a terrace of the house opposite, watching here. One was an elf wizard with strange red hair, and the other was a female swordsman wearing an elf swordsman's uniform with a mechanical spider on her shoulder.

The red-haired wizard said: "Maya, these two groups of people are not together. The three people in the second group are following the people in the first group. I heard that the people here evacuated in a hurry last night. There must be something wrong. I think we should follow them and take a look."

Maya said: "Di Ning, shouldn't we find Xiao Chen as soon as possible? I can't wait to see their machines."

The red-haired wizard Di Ning said: "After all, this is an elf community. Since we have the title of inspector, we have to take care of something, right? These people are making trouble here at this tense moment. We can't let them go easily. Moreover, the Green Forest City incident may be related to the Chinese. Maybe this is a good gift for Xiao Chen."
