Chapter 681: Behind a man’s success story is a smart, supportive partner
"To be fair," despite his annoyance, Natha gave the Templars a leeway. "It might be hard for them to contact the group, since they are being followed."
True that. Unlike our side, who could turn into a fly, a bird, or a cute pet, the Tenplars were regular humans. Yes, they could sneak as far as the Holy Empire itself, but sending messages was a little tricky.
"Either Midas’s agents or ours should contact them," I stroked my chin.
"You should tell your friend to send her agents inside the Holy Empire, while we stationed ours near the border," Natha said. "We should create a communication line."
I agreed. Communication orb would probably be risky, so I should contact Ignis instead. Gosh--it was fortunate that Ignis was there.
Wait. Would Ignis trigger the anti-human alarm?!
"No, usually not," Natha replied when I asked. "Magical beast’s mana was as close to nature as it gets, so the Salamander would seem like a massive pile of pure fire mana instead."
"Oh, that’s a relief."
Then...what about Jade? Hmm...
I called Ignis then, telling Zarfa about our communication system. Thankfully, they were in an inn already, so it was easier to contact someone without being found out by the church agents. Naturally, they stayed in a place owned by Midas, so the manager was part of the information guild, as always.
Natha also sent one of the shapeshifters to the hotel so we could consolidate the communication method. After brainstorming the whole dinner time, we decided that the hub of the communication would be...well, yours truly.
