221 The Three Traitors of the Larken Clan (1/2)

The group continued walking until the twilight when they set up a camp to rest in the night.

Although the area wasn't particularly dangerous, Herken was a cautious man, and he didn't dare to walk at night with so many members of the younger generation because it wouldn't be hard losing some of them on the way.

There were two people in each tent, but there wasn't any case with a tent with two people of different gender. The Larken Clan didn't want to turn those expeditions to the outside into a chance for creating some love stories or let the younger ones turn into beasts following their instincts.

Lar was in a tent with Wyba while Yale was staying with Herken in another one. Of course, that distribution was all part of their plan. Given that Wyba and Lar had small bodies and that one was Yale's fiancée while the other his little sister, no one would have opposed to them sharing a tent.

”The night will be dangerous, please everyone be careful and avoid leaving your tents. Those in charge of monitoring the camp at night, please notify me if you detect anything, no matter how irrelevant it may seem. The group's safety is the most important matter.”

Everyone nodded and went to their tents. Having Herken there was no need for others to be alert at night, but that was a tradition to let the younger generation obtain experience. Of course, Herken was always also on alert, but he wouldn't tell that to the others, or they wouldn't take their job seriously enough.

After everyone entered their tents, only three people designed in the first turn to monitor the camp remained there.

”We are lucky; even the heavens want us to succeed. Who would have thought that we will be together in the draws? No one will be able to stop us from finishing our mission. If just Herken weren't so lazy and monitored the camp by himself all night, we would have a difficult time in succeeding, but as always he is a good for nothing.”

Those three were the same three that Yale detected to have the mark on their souls, and the draws weren't a coincidence because Yale rigged them to obtain that result; those three were just moving on Yale's palm since the first moment.

The tent of Lar and the tent of Yale were quite near, but it was impossible going from one to another without being seen by those in charge of monitoring the camp. That setting had been prepared to give more confidence to the traitors.

Of course, Yale didn't plan to let Wyba and Lar be the real bait; he relied on his Teleportation to swap tents with them. That was the reason both tents had to be near; Yale couldn't teleport with someone else if the distance were too long unless the used the random teleportation and what he needed was delivering Herken to the other tent, so the random teleportation wasn't useful.

Herken was shocked that Yale was able to do something like teleport, but it was less shocking than the Soul-search, so he just decided to avoid thinking about it.

Using the Storage Space, that swap of tents would have been far easier, but Yale didn't want to reveal it to the Larken Clan. It was better to reveal a limited capability of teleport than a mysterious space in which anyone except Yale could disappear without anyone else capable of discovering anything.

Herken and Yale were waiting for an attack in the tent of Lar and Wyba; Herken was hoping that no one attacked letting him be more at ease, but Yale knew that there were traitors and the better outcome would be that they were caught in action.

In any other way, it wouldn't be possible for Yale to end them personally and use them to obtain the Sword Bloodline; since they were already going to die as traitors at least, they should contribute to Yale's strength.
