Chapter 97 (1/2)

And so Benjamin and Michelle went their separate ways Benjamin was ready to return to Chief Silverfox’s inn and reclaim his battle trophies

Michelle was a little puzzled by Benjamin’s sudden departure However, it was not her intention to stay for long She quickly left the prison ruins along with Benja off

Of course, before she left, Benjaet to enquire her on a separate matter

”Before you killed Annie, didn’t sheunder the third tree of the usual place? Where is this usual place?”

This was a good opportunity to ask Michelle since she was standing right there before hi his ti around

Michelle could not help but pull a weird face, ”Annie is a traitor She killed her own partner out of her own jealousy What she said before she died is just bull crap Why would you believe it?”

”I don’t care I have nothing better to do I want to find out”

””

Having said that much, Michelle nevertheless told Benjamin the location of the ‘usual place’ due to his persistence Benjamin realized that the location was not within the abandoned stronghold provided by the Church

Well, Michelle was not one ould throw caution to the wind

Benjaoodness he asked Michelle about this or else he would not be able to find Annie’s remnants

Thereafter, he bade Michelle farewell after finding out the location of the ‘usual place’ Michelle left abruptly, presuardless He wished her all the good luck This was the only thing Benjas to attend to

After Michelle’s departure, Benjamin turned on the Prison Ruin’s hidden lever in a hurry and the secret tunnel once again appeared before hied into the darkness of the secret path

He had thought about various ways of returning to the inn In the end, he decided to take the secret path back

He could return through the outskirts but it would waste plenty of time And if the men from the Church had already reached, the inn would have been in a lock down Benjaht be better off taking the secret pathway then

Of course, taking the secret pathway had its own risks If the Church were to discover the existence of the pathway, then Benjaht even bu this route would be advantageous for Benjamin as well

The secret pathas pitch black He could cast the Water Particle Detection to scan his surroundings, in up to twenty meters in distance If the Church were to find this secret pathway, he could detect those from the Church before they could reach him He needed not worry about this

More importantly, the secret pathway conveniently led directly back to the room He just needed to wait for the roo it and then quickly scour the corpse and returning to the secret pathway The whole process should not take more than one minute, it would not easily alarht pre with fire However, he hatched such a perfect plan, he felt that nothing would go wrong

He was going to single handedly go through that priest’s corpse or else he would be filled with regret beyond relief

He closed his eyes and activated the Water Particle Detection spell in the darkness and headed straight towards the inn Benjamin became more and more accusto was as though the surrounding Water Particles were part of his body, relaying information as fast as the senses of his eyes and ears

He even felt like he had activated ‘All Seeing White Eyes’ (see: Naruto)
