Chapter 356 - Finding Zrey (1/2)

The carriage had set off with Ray and Jack inside and they were now heading to Zrey. The problem was from Jack's memory his hometown was located in the Allure kingdom which meant they would have to head back out of their territory.

Although they had gotten rid of one guild, Slyvia had mentioned there were several other guilds that had been hired to protect the border as well. At the same time, slowly Ray's image was being known to the outside world. He wasn't naïve enough to think that the city they were in was full of people he could trust.

The empire bound to have paid one of the people in the city to gather as much information about what was going on. It was why they had also decided to keep the team small and full of trustworthy people to enter the shadow continent.

So right now inside the carriage, Ray was disguised as the younger version of himself he once was, but with black hair instead of Ray. No longer could he use his identity as Nes. For that was too well known as well.

Just outside Jack was driving the strange carriage. It wasn't a regular one controlled by horses, but one that was powered by beast crystals and had a circle wheel type shape at the front. Turning it in a certain direction would turn the wheels as well.

It was a prototype as well as a gift from Slyvia to make travelling easier for the two of them. The idea was also if they were to enter a new town, they would pretend to be merchants who had come up with new technology. Anyone who saw this piece of technology would want to get their hands on it for their city.

It was their gateway into any cities that required them to show ID, or even if they wanted to see someone of high power.

Suddenly though the vehicle had come to a halt.

”What's wrong!” Ray said as he opened the side door.

”The thing is,” Jack said. ”I don't know where Zrey is either.”

Ray could tell this was going to be a tough journey between the two of them.

It was expected though. At the age of five, they had left their hometown to go study in a school, to only later study further at Avrion. In all that time Jack hadn't gone home once.

”Do you remember anything,” Ray asked. ”Perhaps a city or town that was close by?”

Jack had to think hard really hard, he was trying to pull the memories out of his head form when he was only five years old after all. But after waiting patiently for Jack to think of anything Ray had given up.

Then something hit him, ”Wait, didn't they come to your town at the age of five. With me, it was Wilfred and the two other master knights.”
