Chapter 60 - 60: Plan B (2/2)

Not long, Noite and his guard resume traveling the brick road to Mystic Spirit. This path is once used by traders to guide them to their destinations.

It consists of many branching paths towards different villages and clan towns around Celesea. Ever since the Central fell two hundred years ago, everything changed as well.

The path is unmaintained for two hundred years ago. The once solid, white bricks show wear and crumbling. In time, it will only continue to vanish as it ages.

Meanwhile, Di'Anon's eyes glow in crystal blue as he carefully observes him. He can tell that he shows genuine concern, but it doesn't mean he will conflict with his brother.

Also, it is evident that Noite is not from Celesea. He wears black leather fitted garments under his thick, gray hooded cloak.

People typically wear robes, tunics, and dresses over their cloaks around these parts. Some wear assorted, colorful ethnic dresses depending on their tribes.

Not long, he noticed someone following Noite. He pulled Seig back into the cloaking spell.

Di'Anon starts focusing on the Shadow, who is tailing their target. He can quickly assess that he is from a different affiliation. He has a different aura from Noite's Shadow companion.

”Di, what is wrong...?” Seig asked.

”He is being tailed by his brother's men. We have to be more cautious.” Di'Anon discloses.

Seig knits his brows as he wonders why his brother is secretly following his younger sibling. Is it to keep him safe or something else?

Di'Anon closes his eyes as he devises a new plan. He tries to sense how many Shadows is currently following Noite and watching over him.

They are very discreet and careful not to alert Noite and his companion. Thankfully, they seem also oblivious of their presence.

”There are ten more shadows. We need to be extra careful not to alert either side...” Di'Anon informed Seig.

He is always amazed by his sensory skills. He doesn't know anyone aside from him who can detect these mysterious beings so accurately.

”What should we do now?” Seig inquired.

”Plan B.” Di'Anon nonchalantly responded.

Seig knits his brows tighter as he gave it a thought. He doesn't have any idea what he meant by 'Plan B.'

Meanwhile, Di'Anon casts a wind telegram to Eirwen and the twins to informed them of the situation. They simply need to be more cautious as they carry on with their plans.

They can't alert both sides that they are on their trail. It might cause more problems for them if they were found out.

The fluttering wind spell discreetly heads to its destinations. Noite and his companion have gained significant distance from them.

”Take care of those shadows. I'll take care of Noite. Keep them distracted.” Di'Anon said as he disappears.

Seig was simply dumbfounded. Di'Anon was gone even before he could ask him where are the ten shadows he is referring to.

As of the moment, he indeed doesn't have a clue where to find them.

He looks around the barren lands and wonders how to distract something he wasn't even sure where he could find them.

'Di'Aonon, what is Plan B…?' he murmurs.

Meanwhile, Canon and Fugue receives their order and quite surprised as well. It only states, 'Plan B.'

There is no 'Plan B.' What does he mean?

”Diversion?” Fugue asked his sister as they try to figure out the message.

”Maybe. It's a good plan. Let's make a commotion.” Canon responded cheerfully.

The younger Tanuki seems bored idling while monitoring their target. She can't wait to wake them up and creates a distraction.

His older twin brother can only sigh in resignation. This girl is always naughty and impatient, after all.

On the other hand, Eirwen also receives the same message, 'Plan B' from Di'Anon. He heaves a heavy sigh as he also has no idea what he meant. He needs more details before he can figure what he meant after all.

Meanwhile, If hostile shadows indeed have bad intentions, there is no way they can enter the borders. That is how Eu's monitoring spell works.

So how can they slip in undetected?

How can they not trigger the monitoring spell?

Di'Anon finally catches up with Noite and carefully observes them. There is really nothing unusual with him, and he seems like a very genuine person.

For now, he needs to focus on why these brothers are here and where they are from. Though, by now, he already has a suspicion who they really are.
