As they have get an important information, that's the route taken by the soldier from country below the wind to transport the wind spirit Garuda, they once again begin their search. With the four liches Infront, with all their might, searching for the trace of holy mana from the spirit, but so far, thing doesn't look good

"I'm sorry for asking this, but can you guys really detect the spirit location?" [Salim]

Salim ask, he is becoming a bit impatient, even Slyph silently agree with Salim question

"Like I said, we are trying to detect the holy mana of the spirit, but there's no guarantee that Garuda will have the same holy mana as Phoenix" [Mother Elaonora]

"Master does!" [Slyph]

"!" [Other]

"Sorry, please continue your search" [Slyph]

Slyph sudden outburst startled everyone

"Are you mad? If I'm not mistaken, Aqua and Fizumi state that the highest ethos refer the spirit as their master, so..." [Kucin]

"It's fine, just carry on" [Slyph]

"Well, let just focus on finding the wind spirit Garuda for now" [Kronbir]

"Agree" [Khamishah]

They can't waste time, even chatting for a bit will lead to a precious second go to waste, that's why Kronbir and Khamishah instantly bring their focus back to their objective

Still, even after half an hour have passed, they still can't detect the presence of Garuda, and Slyph have become more and more impatient

"Hey, are you sure the Liches really can detect master?" [Slyph]

"Just trust them, based on my experience..." [Khamishah]

"Something wrong?" [Slyph]

"You guys, instead of detecting the holy mana, how about you detect the artifact that trapped or concealed Garuda, just like how you manage to detect Percival location" [Khamishah]

"We are, but there is one problem" [Aunty Maria]

"And that is?" [Khamishah]

"They have travelled far within our reach for now, but we are catching them up. We can detect the artifact being used but we still can't detect the holy mana of Garuda" [Sister Anessa]

"Once we managed to detect the holy mana, we will tell you, otherwise we might only dampen your spirit" [Sister Miriam]

"Though I guess some of you had already experiencing it" [Mother Elaonora]

"Sorry..." [Slyph]

"No need to, it's understandable" [Aunty Maria]

Slyph and Salim, both regretting their words quickly apologize, not wanting to dragged this any further, Maria quickly shrugged it off. Plus, like Maria said, it's understandable, they are worried right now, Slyph for her master and Salim for his friends, and having to suddenly relied on a liches aren't the most logical thing to do, even if the Princess, the hero and the saga said to trust them. For them, no for most of the people, lich are considered an evil spirits, so its come to no suprise that both Slyph and Salim to doubt them a little

"!" [Sister Miriam]

"Did you!?" [Sister Anessa]

"Yes, just focus on that direction" [Sister Miriam]

"There?" [Mother Elaonora]

"Yes, I can feel it as well!" [Aunty Miriam]

"Really!" [Kucin]

"No doubt about it!" [Sister Miriam]

The ray of light that they are hoping for begin to show itself, as the four liches begin to traverse the land toward the direction of the holy mana that they felt, so does the other. With the distance between the two group becoming shorter and shorter, the adventure group become confused

"It's just a group of soldiers?" [Salim]

The liches however

"So that's the wind spirit" [Sister Anessa]

"Huh?" [Kronbir]

They couldn't comprehend, but Khamishah on the other hand quickly understood what is happening

"Can you detect where is the artifact responsible for camouflaging the wind spirit?" [Khamishah]

"We can, it's hold by an important looking knight, most likely the captain of the knight squad" [Mother Elaonora]

"I see, all of you, prepare yourself, we will ambush them when they are resting, and our objective is to free the Wind Spirit Garuda" [Khamishah]

"Understood!" [Kucin, Kronbir]

"Actually, there's thick forest nearby, if they are using this route, I'm pretty sure they will use the forest route as well, so we can ambush them there itself" [Salim]

"I see, well did everyone agree?" [Khamishah]

"As long as our chances of success increase, then I agree" [Kucin]

"Same here" [Kronbir]

"Right, then let us set some trap in the forest!" [Khamishah]
