Chapter 203 - Fallen Angel (1/2)
After hearing Lenny's words, all eyes were on Ark but even Ark was confused by what Lenny had just said.
”Oh, I'm not talking about you of course.” Lenny said with a smile, ”Did you inform anyone of your visit to see the Divine being?”
”Only my guild leader knows about this visit.”
Lenny then handed the ring over to Ark. ”before I say anything else are you absolutely positive this belongs to your Guild.”
Without any hesitation, Ark replied in an instant.
”Without a doubt.”
”You see servants of the Shadow plague that haven't been possessed are sometimes tasked with a mission and to make sure there servant will do their best to complete the mission, they are asked to give up an item that will be able to identify them in case they fail.”
”It looks like the Shadow plague has already got its hands deeply rooted in this city as well,” Gary said.
”What do you mean?” Lilly asked.
”I'm sure you did your research about the fall of Avrion, well the whole reason that happened was because the shadow plague already had several men planted within the academy doing its bidding.” Gary Explained.
”Avrion has fallen!” Lenny said with a surprised look on his face.
Gary then went on to explain to the rest of the group about what had happened At Avrion. How even the people at the top were working for the Shadow plague. That in the end, a group named the Red wings led by an adventurer named Nes had saved them.
”It's all true,” Gary said, ”And now I'm afraid the same thing might happen to this very city.”
Lenny was now very curious about these Red wings' members. Other than himself, he had never found someone who was able to find the hidden evil within a city before. He had suspected Avrion might fall one day due to its stubborn rules but never expected it to be saved by an outside group.
”It can't be,” Ark said with a horrified look on his face. ”My guild can't be involved with the Shadow plague. I've known them for years; they are all good people. I must confront them about this immediately.”
”And get yourself killed?” Lenny said, ”That is foolish and will only cause us all to be punished.”
”What should we do know then?” Lilly asked.
”My advice is it is best not to continue to go forward, who knows what else lies ahead. We should find the traitor first and then come back once it's safe.”
”I can't let this evil stay in my guild, I must find out the truth,” Ark said as he started to storm off but Lilly had managed to grab him just in time.
”We will all go together as proof that something is going on, that why they are less likely to act with me there,” Lilly said with a smile.
”You guys can go but I shall take no part in this,” Keke said as he stood up and put his hand against his wound. ”I do not wish to cause a war between our two guilds, but I wish you all luck.”
After putting the lock back and leaving everything how they had first found it. The group minus Keke decided to head to the Fallen Angel guild together. The Fallen angel Guildhall was located on the east side of the city.
