Chapter 224 Strongest Sage, Stakeout

『Okay then, let's go straight to that backdoor!』

Iris tried to get away fro that

I halted her

『Hang onWe're gonna look around the town first』

『But it's the Source we have business with isn't it? Can't we just like, ht into the bad people's place, wouldn't it be faster that way?』

『That's only possible if we knohere our enemy isAs only demons would create poison that sucks up life forceI want to find out where that poison is being produced』

Even if the demons aren't here, there will be definitely so made

To stop the life force absorption scheme, we have to beat the demons that are directly involved

Otherwise, even if we beat down all of the humans in this Source, the demons would simply produce their poison elsewhere

『By that do you s' houses? But I' to be a last resortThe risk of getting found is too highFor noe're just gonna probe things froic on us four and enter the town

It's the saic that can't be used to open doors and stuff, but in exchange, there's little risk of us being found

There's no worry of that happening, unless we meet the demons themselves by chance

If we did 『luckily』the demonsThat's the quickest way this could have endedbut the deet too hopeful

We head to the center of the town

『Umm, source of poison, source of poison』

『Maybe it's getting secretly transported along with so else?』

『Either that, or they're transporting only the rawthe poison from scratch easily feasible?』

『At the very least, you can't ree of difficulty is such that Ruli ht be able to create it if you kno』

It's necessary toits creation

There's several kinds of ic for it, but every one of those requires specific knack to perform

『If that's the case for Ruli, then no one in this country should be able to, isn't it?』

『Unless the person has been exclusively trained in it for years and years, yeah, it's iet near the entrance to the ruins』

We arrived before a building hiding the entrance to the ruins

The building looks like a small worn-out warehouse outwardly

But the walls are abnoric lock put on the door

The lock is probably provided by demons

『The ruins entrance should be inside this』
