Since the beginning of the chat of Jaile a person eavesdrops her conversation, it was Ehfih.

"(Is she talking to herself....no, she said the armors have the powers of ancient beings, maybe they spirit are in them and that’s why she is the only one she can use them......but if what she said is true then...two souls, one body...I hope she is okay)" thought Ehfih.

Ehfih as a cat beastman have her five senses more sensitive than other races, normally she never takes attention of her surrounding, but with her mission in hands she becomes prepared for anything.

"(I hear nothing)" thought Ehfih when immersing in her sleep.

----------------------------------------

In the next day, the group arrived in the village at noon.

"(That minotaur is a great strategist, but I don’t like that we split it in the different gates)" thought Jaile.

Before the heroes entered the village, Mureus as if he were already the leaders say that it is better to split themselves in different gates to not attract the attention of the guards. Seeing different races enter a city is only rare for the north part of the continent, were the life is more difficult for the long winter it has, so if one saw different travelers of different races entering one by one it would only been a normal day for the city guards.

"Stop!, I need to inspect your belongings before letting you pass" said a guard.

The guard inspected Jaile, she was passing as an artificer so seeing one or two low grade artifacts and some potions is nothing new, one may think she wanted to become a real craftsman and make new artifacts or alchemist and create a new medicine with low cost, some great people started in that way.

"All clear you can enter" said the guard.

"(Thankful the ring was not seen)" thought Jaile.

The guard oblivious that Jaile have in her possession a royal treasure artifact with the ability to store a great quantity of things let Jaile goes inside the village. When Jaile go to the only inn the village have and she encountered big tables with people eating their food, she goes to the table were the others were and ordered food.

"We will go tonight so be prepare" whispered Mureus to the others.

In the center of the village was the mansion of viscount Bryce Elliot since 6 months ago some families of this and other villages entered his mansion and when they came out a member or two never came out, for some reason when someone asked the families themselves only said that the viscount were educating them to have a better future. Being a villager is difficult and if their children could receive education the family will welcome it so they could have a better life, some teenagers and kids go back after some months and they actually learn how to read, math and swordsmanship but a great amount of them never came back, the families are worried and wanted to see their sons but the guards never let them go to see them.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

"(So we are here to investigate if this viscount Bryce really has a slave trading business)" thought Jaile.

"Guys when the sun is no longer in the sky wake me up" said Jaile to the models.

"(In the night?)" asked Model F.

"No Fefnir in the afternoon" said Jaile.

On the last night Jaile already told the Models about their past and decided to call them by their original names before being Models hoping that in time they remember something, To the Models P, F, L, H, Jaile already told them about all of their past, but to the Models X and Z she only told them from the Elf war to the Zero saga, she decided to wait and if they still not remember anything, then she will tell them the rest before the elf wars.

"Good night" said Jaile.

----------------------------------------

Meanwhile the other heroes and Jaile were preparing for the night, in the mansion of Viscount Bryce Elliot in his office one shadow is lurking in a corner of the room while the viscount is working.

"The cargo is ready for tonight?" a raspy voice was heard from the shadow.

"All is done, in the middle of the night the carriage will go to the arranged location" said Viscount still doing his work.

"Good, the reward will be sent immediately when the product is confirmed" said the raspy voice.

Then a little chubby boy of 9 years of age wearing luxurious clothes, with his well arranged hair, and happy face enter the office of the viscount and when the boy enters the shadow disappear.

"Dad! I want to help!" said the boy.

"Sorry Thomas when you grew up a little more you will" said the Viscount with a gentle voice.

"B-but" the boy named Thomas sadly say when he hears his dad.

"How about this, in four months after your birthday you will help me with my work as viscount what about it?" said the Viscount

"Okay!" shouted the boy.

"(In four months all will be ending)" thought the Viscount

When the boy goes out of the office the shadow appear again.

"Hehehehehe~, you really love that boy" said the raspy voice in laughs.

"That's not a matter of work" said the Viscount coldly

"Whatever, only remember you need to give us ten more carriages" said the raspy voice.

"I know" said the Viscount

Without knowing that in the night things will not go as smoothly as the thought the Viscount and the shadow waited patiently to the night.
