Chapter 338: THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE MALE ELF (2/2)

Looking at his reddened face, Luo Yan couldn't help but let out a laugh. Really, it was always fun teasing Shen Ji Yun.

Hearing the bell-like sound of Luo Yan's laugh, Shen Ji Yun's feeling of shame slowly receded. Because he knew that this rabbit was just being a naughty fox again. Although, he must admit, he probably should really step up when it came to interviewing NPCs. Should he start with that elf they were looking for?

[Mashter shouldn't tease Captain too much.] – Eclipse said.

[But it's so fun.]

[Then Mashter should be careful once Captain retaliates. Eclipse bet that would definitely not be fun for Mashter.]

Luo Yan only smiled. He glanced at Shen Ji Yun. This guy retaliating? He had already done that with his little Casanova antics. Albeit unconsciously and very unintentional. And he must admit, it really was effective. Making his heart all aflutter.

”Let's go and talk again to the Leader,” he just said.

Shen Ji Yun nodded and they walked again towards the leader's office. Luo Yan knocked and they were told to enter. This time, there was no longer any smoke lingering around.

”Has your talk with Alicia already finished?” the leader asked.

”Yes, thank you for letting her talk to us,” Luo Yan said.

The leader shrugged. ”There's no need for thanks. I also wanted to know what happened to Finnea back then. But Alicia had always refused to talk about it. Did she tell you anything important?”

”She did. So, I wanted to ask the Leader for another favor.”

”If it's related to Finnea, then I'll do what I can. Her father was a close friend of mine, you see. I had always felt guilty about what happened to her, always felt like I failed the both of them. So, I'd be more than glad to offer my assistance in any way.”

Luo Yan nodded. ”I see. Then, Leader, if there's someone in your group of mercenaries who suddenly left not long after Finnea was cursed.”

The leader went silent for a moment, as if he already had a feeling where this conversation was going. ”There's a number of them. Because of what happened to Finnea, I remembered the things that transpired in our group that year quite clearly. You need to be more specific.”

”A male elf. He's a mage who's pretty enamored with Finnea.”

The leader widened his eyes in surprised when he heard that. He even looked unbelieving. As if there's no way that male elf would be involved in what happened to Finnea. But at the end, he still answered Luo Yan honestly.

”Rhys. His name is Rhys.”

Luo Yan smiled in triumph. ”Do you know where he is now?”

The leader shook his head. ”But I kept Life Lamps of the members of Crimson Corps – former and current members alike. If I used that, I could know his current location instantly.” He went silent for a moment before continuing on. ”If your suspicion of him turned out to be correct, then he should have a way to know if I used his Life Lamp. The moment I did, he would probably move from his current location. So, you need to be fast.”

Luo Yan nodded. ”I understand.”

The leader stretched his hand and a lamp that had a flickering light inside appeared on top of his palm. His eyes widened in surprise when he saw the light inside. He closed his eyes. Once he opened it, it was suddenly filled with complicated emotions.

”Rhys is currently at the Tower of Edia.” He closed his eyes again before letting out a long sigh. ”And he's very close to his own death.”
