Chapter 350.1
The carriage left the castle quietly at night, taking a different path this time. Since many of the safe houses disguised themselves as regular homes, they didn’t want to raise suspicions among those who frequently saw soldiers in the area. Aldrit had been switching his hideout for a while.
Aldrit, trained in stealth, remained in the safe house without drawing attention to himself. Initially, soldiers guarded the surroundings, but following Kasser’s orders, they withdrew, and people disguised as everyday homeowners started coming and going. Their main task wasn’t surveillance but making sure essential supplies were delivered.
Before entering, Eugene and Kasser talked about letting Aldrit listen to their conversation. The Mara and the wanderers had a close connection, so when Aldrit expressed his willingness to join, Eugene proposed, “Aldrit, let’s stick together today.”
She then said to Mara, “Let Aldrit also be part of our conversation.”
Mara nodded in agreement. “That shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Aldrit, we hope you can act as a bridge between the wanderers and us. Among the wanderers, we only know of you and Lima, and Lima won’t be able to move for some time,” Eugene mentioned.
“There’s no one better suited for that role than him. He’s the leader.”
Eugene and Kasser stared at Aldrit in surprise. Aldrit modestly lowered his gaze and said, “I’m still learning from the experienced elders.”
“You’re the leader, so you have the authority,” Mara pointed out.
