Chapter 157 Hiding the Evidence (1/2)
Snowcloud sighed as she looked at the corpses ”They wereMoon faction, probably sent to keep an eye on the area around the Soaring Sun canizedlook ”How do you know they weren't sent after you?”
”Because the Waning Moon wouldn't be foolish enough to send weaklings like these afterman, then continued, ”And that was Saeneration His father would never send him to confront me — not without five times the backup, at least”
”One of Amaya's cousins?” Arran asked He still remembered that the Tir fa Moon faction, and that Amaya was one of the family's scions
”A distant cousin,” Aine the Tir family won't be happy about this, and his father even less so”
Arran frowned, worried at the thought of roup of powerful new enemies ”Then why did we kill hi Moon camp,” Snowcloud replied ”If anyone there was involved in Grandfather's poisoning, or if they suspected I had chosen to castSun faction, they would have killed us”
”But what about this?” Arran gestured at the bodies littering the grass ”When they find out, won't they co no signs of worry ”It will take them weeks just to discover that these four are dead, and when they do, they'll assuht,” Arran said, sos, burn the corpses, and ings, but after only a moment, Snowcloud cursed loudly When Arran looked at her, he saw that her expression had suddenly turned anxious
”We have a probleolden a a Lifesense Amulet”
”What does it do, exactly?” Arran asked A feeling of foreboding weighing down on him, he added, ”And how much trouble are we in?”
Snowcloud hesitated in answering, her brow furrowed as she thought ”This amulet is part of a pair,” she finally said ”The moment he died, the person ns its twin knew about it And that would be his father, Ardesh Tir — one of the Elders of the Sixth Valley”
For aunder his breath ”I suppose it gets worse?” he said finally, suppressing a sigh
Snowcloud nodded slowly ”The owner of the other ae distance, it will only give a rough direction, but the smaller the distance, the more accurate it becomes”
”Is there a way to block it?”
”Putting it in a void bag will block it,” Snowcloud said ”But he already has the direction”
At once, Arran snatched the amulet from Snowcloud's hands and threw it into the square-jawed s as well, and then, without hesitating, he began to stuff the corpses into it
”We're not burning them?” Snowcloud raised an eyebrow as she sahat Arran was doing
”The less evidence we leave, the better” Arran frowned ”How long will it take the Elder to get here fro Moon camp?”
”A week, at most,” Snowcloud said ”He'll travel much faster than we can”
”No problem” A decisive look had appeared in Arran's eyes ”If all he has is a rough direction, it will be nearly impossible for him to find this exact location And even if he does, we'll be long gone”
”What about that?” Snowcloud pointed at the void bag in Arran's hands ”Will we leave it here?”
