Although the walk took longer than it would otherwise due to Merlin having to slow his pace for the envoy, they arrived at Macedonia unhar streets of Macedonia on their way to the oracle's co open before Merlin and the envoy even ate, and the handsoreet them

"Well, you're ho silent

The envoy waddled towards the butler and was quickly ordered to get inside The envoy co back, and moments later he had vanished into the compound

"The oracle thanks you" The butler turned back to Merlin, he pulled a gold coin out of his pocket and held it out for Merlin to take He continued speaking after Merlin grabbed hold of the coin "The oracle said she's looking forward to next tiain soon"

As soon as those words were spoken, Merlin found himself bombarded with several notifications

「You have completed the quest, "Lost and Found", rewards have been delivered」

「You have earned +5 faratulations, you are now level 5」

"Well, If there is a next tiold coin into his inventory "I better not be met with another blackmail threat"

The butler's face cru to continue the conversation Merlin heard the gate slam shut behind him as he walked towards the slums

As Merlin slipped into the sluuards wandering about Not wanting to be questioned, Merlin pulled his cloak's hood on and began hiding his presence, he also started chanting his sneak skill

「Skill ⟪Sneak⟫ Activated, stealth increased by 30 for 20 seconds」

Using the twenty seconds that the skill gave hiuards and quicklysure he wasn't being followed He checked his surroundings one last ti into the alley Merlin pushed open the door to the shady tavern and walked inside

Merlin noticed that everyone in the rooe the second he walked in, but quickly calmed down once they realised who it was It see seriously

Fae was idling at the counter as usual, and as Merlin approached a large smile appeared on her face as she asked him a question "What's the password"

From the conversation Fae and Snow had earlier, he could naturally assume why she asked the question, but he decided to humour her "Apple bottom jeans"

"Boots with the fur!" She blurted out with an expression that was practically begging for hiolf clap and a slight chuckle in response It was childish, but it seemed to make her happy She was much cuter when she smiled, he preferred the child-like innocence rather than the cold secretary act he got when they first interacted with each other

"Well, I'll get Snow to teach you another one" Merlin said before tapping his backpack "I've got sos to deliver to your father"

Fae led Merlin down into the cellar once more, but before she opened the hidden door she asked him a question one ive you up" Merlin said with a mischievous smile

The door opened and Merlin made his way inside, his eyes locked onto the back of a fareeted everyone as he traversed a sea of tables and drunk gamblers Fae on the other hand see facility

"You're back already" The elf greeted him as Merlin sat beside him "I hope you didn't cause any more catastrophes"

"I solved one actually" Merlin said as he pulled the stack of docuht s to read?" The elf said as he stared at the rolled up paper "I ht have to create a library down here at the rate you're bringing these in"

"These are in a language called Bashkatil, have you ever heard of it?" Merlin asked as he handed the stack of docurabbed the paper, unrolling it and staring at the s on the first sheet

"I found those in a vampire's lair It was a crypt under an old abandoned church somewhere in-between Caphyae and Orcho case, I'm almost certain that it's linked with the hole in the sky"

The elf's eyes narrowed as he stared at the documents He turned to Merlin and asked hi everything that happened when he left He explained everything about the va tortured, the experianthe documents Fortunately he didn't have to explain how he learnt the basics of the language, as it seemed the elf had done quite a bit of research into otherworlders already
