Chapter 259: Everyone wants to know what exactly is behind all this

”Well, Miss Milla, lead the way,” Idan said to a young girl who, after giving evidence and compiling a report, volunteered to show them the way to the associationʼs branch in this city.

During his testimony, Idan learned that the city was called Rumbus.

Using the privilege of the Awakened, Milla quickly arranged a car with a driver for them. Idan, who was not used to such a relationship, felt uncomfortable.

If Idan could, he would have asked Ned to take the form of some kind of beast and use it as a means of transportation, like in the world of Junonia, where there were no cars and other modern means of transportation.

The group got into a military SUV driven by a military man and, passing through checkpoints, left the base. They went straight to the branch of the awakened Association.

”The city seems a bit empty,” Idan remarked, looking outside during the ride.

”Mr. Ethan, most of the civilians have long since evacuated to the central part of the Federation. There were only those who did not want to leave the city of their own free will,” the military man who drove the SUV answered instead of Milla.

Idan was surprised, ”Is the situation on the border really that serious and dangerous?” He had heard from his sister, Irene, that there were a lot of beasts on the border right now, and it was restless there. However, as they walked north, Idan and Arabel did not think about the current situation.

”Recently, the number of beast attacks on the city has increased significantly. Just yesterday, another attempt was made to break through the cityʼs defenses,” the military said, swerving the SUV at the intersection.

”Has anyone managed to determine the reasons why the beasts are attacking the city?” asked Idan, now seriously interested in this question.

”The exact causes remain unknown, but scientists often compare the wave of beast attacks with a natural disaster,” Milla, who had been silent until now, answered instead of the driver. ”Under normal conditions, when meeting people, most beasts do not show aggression and do not attack first until a person takes the initiative.”

Idan nodded, agreeing with Milla, and remembered the two foxes and the wolf he had recently encountered. These beasts didnʼt seem that scary or dangerous.

”The behavior of beasts in the wild has not changed much since the disaster. Small beasts are still prey for larger ones, and large ones often conflict over territories,” to Idanʼs surprise, the silent Milla did not stop talking, but began to share information.

”The wave of beasts began to be considered a natural disaster precisely because during it the behavior of all beasts changes dramatically. Prey and predators, competitors for territories and natural enemies — all combine to form a wave of many beasts, which always targets the cities of humanity.”

Idan frowned, finding the behavior of the beasts during the wave, as Milla had said, rather strange.

”What could have changed their behavior so much?” he asked.

”Everyone wants to know what exactly is behind all this,” Milla replied. ”Some believe that nature itself is behind all this. They think that nature wants to destroy us humans in this way. And others believe that this is how nature tempers us, humanity, by sending us trials and at the same time balancing the rapidly growing number of beasts in the world.”

Idan couldnʼt come to a definite conclusion without sufficient evidence. However, deep down, he couldnʼt help but admit that some of these claims were well-founded.

Idan was sure of only one thing: all these strange behaviors of beasts were probably related to the rapid and unnatural development of the world itself. The third calamity is about to begin, and perhaps the current actions of the beasts are preparing for the worldʼs transition to a new stage of development.

”Are you from around here, Miss Milla?” asked Idan.

”No, Iʼm not from around here. I came to this city to complete a task given by the Awakened Association to our Guild,” Milla replied to Idanʼs question.

”Oh, are you a member of the guild? And if itʼs not a secret, what is this assignment?” asked Idan. He had heard from his sister, Irene, that the Arslan Guild had come to the north to protect the cities. It was probably the association that asked the Arslan Guild to help protect this city.

”Yes, Iʼm a member of the Defenders Guild,” Milla replied to Idanʼs surprise.

”Damn it! What a coincidence! This is Arslanʼs Guild!” exclaimed Idan in his thoughts, surprised at such a coincidence.

”Defenders?” asked Idan, feigning surprise on his face. — ”The Defenders Guild, whose leader is Arslan Morgan?”

”Yes, itʼs our guild!” Milla proudly confirmed, clearly enjoying Idanʼs reaction.

Idan, looking at her reaction, couldnʼt help but smile.

”Is your leader Arslan here? In this city?” he clarified.

”Yes, our leader is in the city,” Milla confirmed.

”So Arslan is here after all,” Idan said to himself, convinced that his goal was near.

”I need to deal with Kraus first, then quickly go get Arabel, and only then go in search of Arslan,” Idan quickly sketched out his immediate plans.

Idan didnʼt want Arabel to be involved in his assassination task. Therefore, as soon as he found out that Arslan was in this city, he immediately decided to act quickly to complete the task and go after Arabel.

Itʼs been a little over two days, and it must have been less than a day in Limbo.

As for Kraus, after meeting with the military and receiving some information, Idan decided to eliminate him without drawing attention to himself.

As he understood it, the military currently wields enormous power and still mostly follows the rules of the old world. An open confrontation with the awakened one and his murder can have serious consequences for Idan.

”Do you belong to a guild, Mr. Ethan?” the driver asked, listening with interest to the conversation between the two awakened ones.

”Me? Not yet, — Idan answered honestly.

”Oh?” the driver and Milla were surprised.

”Would you like to join our guild?” Milla immediately invited Idan to join their Guild, based on her impression of pleasant communication with him and his high rank.

”Thank you for the offer, Miss Milla, Iʼll think about it. But before making a decision, I would like to meet with the famous Arslan. However, not today,” Idan immediately voiced his desire to see Arslan, without refusing the offer.

”Hmm...Iʼll talk to the leader and let you know, — Milla replied after thinking for a while.

”Good, — Idan said, mentally glad that he had found a way to meet Arslan without causing undue attention.

Soon, the SUV stopped at the entrance of a large building that served as a branch of the awakened Association.
