Chapter 661: You never know where the ball is rolling
While the Lord and his family were having a lovely time in the Castle, their dedicated spy was...having an overtime.
At first, Heraz’s duty was only to follow and observe the Hero. It then suddenly evolved so much that he even got to be on a mission with the young master directly. But now, there were so many things he had to do that he was no longer leading a squad, but a whole department.
He had to manage the fake leads to fool the church while cooperating with the humans. And also watching over the church’s movement. Oh, and preparing some stuff in case they had to attack the church. That wasn’t too bad; he only had to go all over the Human Realm. Looking for a Necromancer and a Soulmancer promptly was just...a bonus.
Haa...
Heraz hadn’t seen his house for two years.
But it was fine. His father told him that the patriarch appointed the old man to the elder council, so his family should be safe and looked after well. Not incurring the Lord’s fury and staying alive was more important.
At any rate, it was his fault. He should have locked the human and waited for instruction instead of killing him. He knew it was by the young master’s grace that he wasn’t demoted, so he better fix his mistake by working thrice as hard.
Fortunately, the Lord sent another squad as reinforcement to look for a Necromancer and a Soulmancer, so he didn’t have to rearrange his subordinate’s existing task. Unfortunately, most of the necromancers and soulmancers were staying in the empty region or the border--to make it easier for them to run away--and those places were far away from their headquarters.
Because of this, Heraz couldn’t look for those people himself, since he should stayed in the headquarters to command the whole operations in the Human Realm. And by the Lord’s fire--it was so frustrating waiting for news from someone else instead of digging it himself.
"Haa...we don’t have much time," Heraz massaged his temple as a week passed by since the order without any result.
The more time they spent, the more the body would decompose. Not to mention, the soul would start to drift into the realm of nothingness as time passed. If they were to fail...the extent of the Lord’a fury was something they’d rather not imagine.
