Chapter 580 - 574. Tracing
"Is it that place?" Jock asked once again to Eleanor beside him.
"Yes," Eleanor replied as her dazed, glassy eyes that had been staring at the empty air returned their focus. Her voice, however, sounded firm. "It’s getting fainter, but...I don’t see any branching."
Jock chuckled wryly. "We should have done this before all the dungeon gates got eliminated."
The thread of energy they should be tracing came from the dungeon gates. Naturally, when the gates disappeared, the energy threads also vanished. Unfortunately, the dungeons closest to them, the ones that appeared around the newest camp, were the earliest to get rid of, which truly hindered the tracing.
They had no choice though; the ruin was the source of the Fallen Star’s wrath, so most of the dungeons there were on the verge of breaking. Immediate elimination aside, the threads would disappear when the dungeons broke anyway.
"Well, it means the young masters are doing a good job, isn’t it?" Eleanor let out a rare smile. "So we need to support them well."
Jock chuckled inwardly. Of course, as someone who was brought into the Mallarc household since her childhood, Eleanor had more loyalty than anyone. She was just like House Ishtera’s Senan in many ways.
Perhaps that was why they couldn’t work out in the end.
Ah, it wasn’t the time for old sentiment. Jeck returned his gaze to the ’place’ where the threads were gathering according to Eleanor. "I can’t believe we missed this."
In front of them was a familiar huge lake they just passed a few days ago. According to Eleanor’s sight, the thread of energy came from the island.
At least, it should be the island. The energy, faint as they were, came from the middle of the lake. But it was more logical to think it came from the island instead of the water--not to mention, it would be better for them.
