One-Eyed Monster

Igor heard what Kadi said, and his suspicion became even more certain. He stared blankly at Kadi: ”You burned their luggage just to throw them into chaos!”

”You’re quite smart this time, haha.” Kadi chuckled, feeling that Igor suddenly became enlightened.

”But I think doing this might make them more alert. Who knows, they might speed up their actions afterward!” Igor analyzed, feeling that Kadi was a bit reckless this time.

”Really?” Kadi was indifferent, ”They said all their clues were in that luggage, so I chose to burn it.”

”But didn’t you see them desperately saving that box!”

”The box was full of gold coins; of course they’d protect it! Gold coins are the most important thing!”

Igor suddenly felt Kadi’s words had a point and fell silent for a moment.

”Don’t worry, they definitely can’t act now.” Kadi said with a subtle smile.

”Hmm?” Igor looked at Kadi, puzzled.

”At this moment, they’re probably troubled by that small fire!”

”What do you mean!” Igor asked.

”I left a small spark on their side, and now they must be trying your earlier method repeatedly!” Kadi laughed heartily after speaking.

”Since that’s the case, I think we should stop them!” Igor declared firmly.

”Even though they’re looking for a Spirit Core, do you know whose they’re seeking? We’re still in a fog right now, so it’s best to follow them. Having you become their mercenary was the purpose.”

”But later you had me step out!” Igor said, puzzled.

”That’s because I couldn’t hold it any longer!” Kadi nearly shouted at Igor!

”Oh, I got it.” Igor realized that Kadi couldn’t keep using his hidden skills for long due to the high energy cost, so he needed a break after spending strength following those people.

”Besides, if you return, I think I can earn a bit more from them!” Kadi remarked.

”Hmm?” Igor felt incredulous. He thought the group would realize the fire couldn’t be extinguished and would surely see him as a fraud. If he return to them now, they’d definitely see through it!

”Rest assured, they absolutely won’t be suspicious. I’m confident about this flame!”

”Before we head back to them, I think we need to go somewhere else!” Igor suggested.

”What?” Kadi asked dumbfoundedly, ”Is there another place we need to go!”

”Yes, aren’t you curious about the origin of my sword? I’ll take you to see if I’ve deceived you, as promised earlier.”

”Haha, good, I can also see who crafted my mask.”

”You need to keep a low profile!” Igor advised.

”No problem!” Kadi said, ”But I think the reason you want to go to that place is for something else!”

Igor looked at Kadi in surprise, wondering why he was so sensitive and clever today.

”Isn’t it so?” Kadi tilted his head at Igor.

”You saw through it all...”

”Your expression gave it away immediately, haha...” Kadi laughed heartily.

Igor thought though his emotions weren’t hidden as expertly as a Politician’s, they weren’t so easily spotted. Therefore, he disagreed with Kadi’s statement!

But disagreement aside, Kadi now is an indescribable being. His existence beyond Spirit Power’s perception is unreasonable itself. So now, for him to discern Igor’s situation, wasn’t a big deal.

”I think their target might be the blacksmith I’ve encountered.” Igor honestly told Kadi, as he never intended to hide anything from him.

”Why do you think that! A blacksmith, in your eyes, isn’t he a Non-professional? People like that have no Spirit Cores!”

”You’re right, but you might not know, besides the mainstream five professions, there used to be other obscure professions that have vanished from the world. Few people can contact them now. But I saw something different in that blacksmith. Though I’m not sure, intuition tells me it’s the Craftsman’s Craftsman Spirit!”

”So magical!” Kadi, hearing Igor’s words, was filled with curiosity, ”Let’s stop wasting time and check it out then!”

”Alright, it’s already late, and it’s when the tavern just opens. It’s not too far from here to there. If we quicken our pace, we’ll reach the tavern soon.” Igor suggested.

”Lead the way!” Kadi patted Igor’s shoulder, his excitement unable to be contained.

As Kadi and Igor set off for the blacksmith’s shop, the travelers wrapped in mystery were beset around the flickering flames at the burning inn!

”Despite clearing all Spirit Power as the kid suggested, why can’t we extinguish the fire!”

”Aren’t you a Flame Type Wizard? How come you don’t have any idea, acting like a fool!”

”The coins were sent out from your hands, you didn’t see through the kid’s method, why blame me!”

”Don’t think just because you can control a Spirit Core I fear you!”

”Stop arguing!”

The smoking old man timely ceased the quarrel, the flames still waving amidst them.

The elder’s words seemed significant, as the trio immediately fell silent, even ceasing their murmuring.

”Until we find the target, the master can’t use Spirit Power, you all know this!”

”Yes!” The trio said in unison.

”Now, it seems like that kid tricked us, and this Exotic Fire can’t be extinguished with the method he provided.”

”Indeed!” They echoed in unison again.

”That kid is likely the arsonist; I suspect he has a similar goal to ours!”

The trio nodded continuously, following the elder’s observation.

”But that kid clearly underestimated us! We can now enact the tracking technique on him!”

”Yes, I can pinpoint him in moments!” replied Thin and Tall Pole.

”Then let’s start, debts should be repaid, tricked us out of our money, we’ll get it back double!”
