8 Investigation

Inside a residence near the southern gate. A green light flashed inside one of the rooms.

"Pheww , we're finally here .. i really hate teleportation trees ,they are so uncomfortable ! " Two figures appeared after the light faded away. BaoBao was the one who said that. Even though teleportation trees are fast to travel ,they also make it's users dizzy and motion sick.

If a normal person used it,they might throw their guts out after one trip.

"We don't have any other choices ,it was hard enough to find a low level teleportation tree around this desolate area " said the young lady besides her with a calm tone.

"Alright , BaoBao , let's get ready ,we will head towards the meeting location to get more information about the mission "

The young lady still had her doubts about this sudden mission.

Usually ,the organization would send a low level messaging beast Carrying a scroll that contained detailed information about that mission.

She was working For them for almost two years now ,she had done many missions of all sorts. Be it getting some rare item ,or assassinating some powerful person.

But ,she never saw a mission scroll that contained nothing but a name.

More than that ,this was the first time she participated in a mission that required a meeting !

BaoBao nodded her head ,and opened the door of the room they were in.

The sun was still hunting on the sky , illumination the area.

the two beauties got out of the residence and stood on an empty street. It seemed like they were the only people there since the street was empty.

The young lady waved her sleeve and an item appeared in her hand. It looked like a compass. This was a spirit compass ,it is used to share locations of important places within the organization. The user only needed to insert their Qi to exactly pinpoint the location that was stored inside. It doesn't matter where the user is ,the spirit compass will always show the correct route to reach that location.

After confirming where she needed to go to ,she waved her hand and the compass vanished.

"BaoBao , this wa-"

Zzzzz

BOOM !!

Before she could finish her speech ,they Heard a loud strike of a bolt of lightning coming from the north !

"A lightning bolt ?!!" They both exclaimed at the same time.

The weather was sunny and it was impossible for lightning to form. But that's not the thing that shocked them ,it was the faint destructive aura they felt coming from that lightning !

That definitely was a high level lightning-type technique or above !

After realizing this ,the young lady said with a serious expression

"Hide your appearance , let's investigate what that was "

"Mn"

After hearing that , BaoBao made the same hand sign as her master. Soon after ,both their appearance was now changed. They now looked like a daughter of a noble family and her maid.

BaoBao was now wearing a standard servant clothes ,her tail and cat ears also disappeared.

The young lady was still wearing a light veil that was hiding her face ,but her hair was tied in a bun and she was wearing a light pink robe. She was holding a fan in her hand.

This was a medium level technique ,it allows it's user to change their appearance and attire on the fly.

But it can only fool someone who is weaker than the user ,if they met someone powerful ,they will easily be discovered. That's why this technique is useless in battles ,and most martial artists only use it to hide their identity when they interact with mortals.

After having changed their appearance ,they headed towards the direction of that sound.

After walking for a while ,they started meeting the people of Afra city , wherever they walked ,they immediately become the center of attention.

"Who are those two ,that maid is so beautiful , tsk ,her master is hiding her face ,is she ugly or something"

"Hey ,shush ,what if she is the daughter of some Lord somewhere ,you really can't afford to offend them !"

"Relax ,they can't hear me .. oh they are renting a carriage"

After renting the carriage, BaoBao told the driver to take them to the north gate.

It would still take them a few minutes to reach there , since the streets are filled with people and the city is relatively big.

Even though everyone heard the lighting ,no one gave it any second thought. And because they can't sense the aura ,they only thought it was a strange phenomenon. And the news of the attack of the Agjim king still didn't reach them.

The more the carriage got closer to the northern part of the city ,the weirder the atmosphere became !

The driver also noticed this ,the people were talking lively about something. Everyone had expressions of excitement and agitation as they exchanged their conversations.

But he sent that to the back of his head ,and continued to direct the horses of the carriage.

A few minutes later.

"What exactly happened here !? Where is the gate ? " When the driver noticed the missing gate ,he was surprised.

But soon after ,he noticed some workers dragging a huge chunk of iron. So he thought that they were rebuilding the gate.

He got out of the driver seat ,and then opened the carriage door.

"Ladies ,we are here"

Two women got out of it , BaoBao then gave the driver two silver coins , which he happily accepted.

Since the young lady got out ,her eyes were fixed on an empty spot on the floor near the gate.

There was nothing there ,but if uncle Spear saw her ,he would definitely be surprised , because that was where the king beast died.

Just a few minutes ago ,After everyone recovered from their shock, uncle Spear ordered his subordinates to transport the body of the beast to a hidden area ,and also gave instructions to rebuild the gate as soon as possible.

But the young lady still had general idea of what happened.

She walked towards uncle Spear who is now at the entrance of the restaurant talking with the owner.

" alright uncle Spear , I'll do as you said. We will build a statue of that master right here "

"Thank you " replayed uncle Spear to the owner of the restaurant.

Just as he wanted to go take care of some other matters, he heard a sweet voice coming from behind him.

" Can i speak with you ?"
