Chapter 311 - The spread of the Redwings (2/2)

”Only three people? Clearly an overexaggerated rumour.”

”It is true.” Another man said, ”I used to be part of the Underdogs and chose not to accept their offer of joining them. But everything, all the rumours you hear are true.”

Lenny then waved his hand once again, and they could speak once more.

”Didn't the city try to keep everything that happened a secret?” Springett said.

”It is nearly impossible with an event as big as this one.” Lenny replied, ”There were too many people, and the task achieved was simply too big. Although the guards, kids and Guild members there were told to keep it a secret, they wish to tell people of what they saw. They feel like it's their duty that this story must be shared. By next week the whole city will know of the Shadow attack and the Redwings.”

Lenny then gave a soft look at both Mia and Springett.

”You two are my closest friends in the city as well as the queen. The only ones I can trust. I need your help, and I require both of you for this task. The Redwings have someone on the inside at Roland academy. Their goal is to find the Devine being. I wish you will be able to help this person achieve this task.”

”See the divine being? But not even us professors are allowed to see it!” Springett shouted ”Only tower masters.”

”And that is why Mia is here with us today as well. Springett, I know you believe in the prophecy. Otherwise, you wouldn't have decided to raise those five red-haired magicians. Do you remember the colour of the Redwing member you saw on the battlefield the other day?”

Springett started to think back, she was so engrossed in the fight and her survival she didn't really pay much attention at the time, but now that she thought about it, he had red hair too.

”I believe he is the person the prophecy spoke of,” Lenny answered.

Springett sat there for a little bit before giving her answer.

”Very well, I will do my best.”

”Me as well, but after this, I owe you no more favours.” Mia added.

”What is the name of the person who we will need to support and aid?” Springett asked.

”Inside the academy, he goes by the name of Nes.”

Springett's face dropped as she heard that name.
