Chapter 397: The Noble Behind the Scenes
Having seen so many dead people tonight, Anna still slept soundly.
Loren, on the other hand, didn't sleep at all. He couldn't fully trust what the robed figure had said. Loren ultimately needed to verify it himself.
Movila was still monitoring key locations, while Gwen stood guard at their base.
After so long without any news, the mastermind behind the scenes would definitely send someone to check the situation. That would be a good opportunity to continue the investigation.
Gwen hid near the base and activated Entwined Roots. The spell's range continuously expanded, and with Loren's massive mana reserves fueling it, the scope of Entwined Roots nearly covered the entire forest.
There were plenty of animals here, some even passing right by Gwen. Since she had no life force, these animals completely ignored her.
It wasn't until the late hours of the night that Gwen detected someone approaching. Loren immediately perked up.
Entwined Roots had some limitations—it could only distinguish the species of the approaching figures, not their faces—but its range was more than enough.
Once the group got close enough, Gwen activated the Hermit card's effect.
