Chapter 262 - The Ark Of Human Experimentation (1/2)

”He is still around but I do not have his exact location since he became a family man. He does no work except for wooden sculptures. But since you have a small lead with Clement, I suggest going with it first. From what I know, I have no one named 'Clement' in the hit lists.”

”Well, we will find out very soon if he would be in there. That settles it, I am still dragging you along. Now, I want to retire for the night,” said Mavislin, reverting to her child form.

She then lazily slumped into Bryan's l.a.p once more.

”Oi, you have your own room!” exclaimed Bryan as Mavislin snuggled closer.

”Carry me there then! I'm too tired...” w.h.i.n.ed Mavislin.

”You are such a child.”

”I'm older than you by centuries.”

The Slayer reluctantly stood up and carried the young Valkyrie to her room. This left Ysabeau and Gab alone, while the bartender slowly washed the area.

”Not going to sleep?” asked Gab, finishing his drink.

”No, I'm still on duty. There's something that I had on my mind but I can't confirm the existence of it,” said Ysabeau.

”Well, I'm not going to turn in just yet so might as well spill it out. And besides, why are you on duty anyways? This isn't under the areas that you protect,” asked Gab, confused on why Ysabeau was standing guard.

”I'm not fully guarding the place. I'm just on watch duty. Any fights, I just watch. Unless it involves us Mages, I won't be stepping in.”

”So what is it that you wanted to ask?”

”About the recent incidents. I am positive that it does not concern the Umbra anymore. Mavislin and I could not find any trace of Corruption around the area either. Unless we can find that the incident does indeed involve the Mages, we might pull out,” said Ysabeau, darkly.

”That is quite a problem. Any other shining ways to go about this?”

”There's also one more thing I need to know about. Human experimentation. Has it hit these areas yet?” asked Ysabeau.
