Chapter 227 - Returning a sash (2/2)
Sir K also said it would be best to send a small group like last time. There would be fewer casualties and the enemy wouldn't see them coming.
The group searched day after day in that swamp, camping night after night. But they could never find the large hole that had appeared last time.
”Are you sure it was here?” Sir K asked.
”I'm positive.” Dan replied, ”Right guys?”
Although the group wasn't sure if it was the right place or not, they certainly remembered heading in this direction before the fog appeared.
After a week of searching, Slyvia had no choice but to call off the search party for Monk. If he hadn't been found by now there was a high chance, they would ever find him. The news was devastating to Martha and she had refused to leave her room.
It became worse when Martha had checked the list of active members of the Red wings and Monk's name was removed.
Her friends had gone to visit her one by one but it was impossible to get her to cheer up. That's when Slyvia came up with an idea, all Martha needed right now was hope that Monk was still alive. She opened up the system and sent a message to Ray.
At this point of time, Ray was just outside the dungeon waiting for Gary to remove the gauntlet from the demon man. That's when he received a message.
”Can you check if Monk is on your list Ray, for some reason we can't see him,” Slyvia asked.
Ray then opened down his menu and started to look through all the members of the Red wings. Then he spotted Monk's name and written next to it in brackets was (Contract Broken.)
Ray honestly didn't know what this meant. Ray assumed if someone had died, they would just be taken off the list. Or the system would state they were dead. But here it said the contract had been broken. The only thing Ray could think of was something with higher magical power then his own had broken the contract.
The news was reported back to Slyvia but it wasn't the news she was expecting and decided to hide this from Martha.
Then one day, at noon, Monk had returned out of nowhere. He had requested a meeting with the elders and other master knights. The meeting was accepted and Monk patiently waited in the room for everyone.
That's when everyone entered including Monk's friends and Martha but when they saw Monk. He looked different. The armour he was wearing was darker in colour and more heavy than usual.
But the biggest difference in Monk was his eyes. They looked almost empty as if all emotion had been taken out from them.
Martha had planned to run up to Monk and give him a big hug as soon as she saw him. However, after seeing Monk like this, she found it hard to say anything.
”I am here to return this,” Monk said as he placed his black sash onto the table.
