Chapter 194: Forward Base (2)
The sky was dark before midnight. With snowflakes that started falling in the evening, quite a bit of snow had accumulated at the base.
The base was tinged orange due to torches and mana lamps. I approached stealthily.
As I observed with winds, no matter how strict the security was, there was no difficulty in entering.
I had already identified Erendil’s tent. The area around the tent was bright, but there were blind spots.
Hiding in those shadows, I sent a signal with winds. I tapped on the mana lamp inside Erendil’s quarters.
I felt Erendil startle. However, it seemed she immediately realized it was me.
“It’s alright. Come in.”
It was a whisper, apparently judging that I could hear. Then she clicked a button next to her desk.
A subtle wave flowed around the tent. It was magic. So subtle that I hadn’t noticed it beforehand.
