Chapter 127: Final Step (4)
"The scroll... it disappeared!" Skaha whispered, his voice barely audible.
"What scroll- Wait... ’that’ scroll?" Ahuli replied, taken aback. "How did it happen?"
"Keep it down!" Skaha replied anxiously, looking around.
Despite capturing countless heroes, the average level of the tribe was below level 40, with the exception of Ahuli, Skaha and a few others. The only reason the tribe walked without fear was because of their ’slaves’.
However, if the tribe learned about the missing scroll, all hell would break loose. The scroll was missing, but they had to act quickly and discreetly to find the culprits before chaos erupted.
"I interrogated the guards, but they didn’t see anyone entering or leaving," Skaha urged. "We need to do something, and we gotta do it fast!"
"I’ll tell the gatekeeper to lockdown the settlement," Ahuli nodded, grabbing his spear. "Meanwhile, you should keep an eye on the slaves. Even if someone has the scroll, it would take some time to decode it."
Skaha understood what Ahuli was going for. He wanted to ensure that even if someone had the scroll and managed to decode it, they would never reach the slaves to unseal their abilities.
In the meantime, Ahuli and his hounds would look through the settlement to find the culprit. Skaha nodded and left the enclosure. Ahuli returned to where Milka was, but he was nowhere to be seen.
