. . .

"So, you're going to help him?" said Marl Tokat as he knitted his brows . "To help a remnant church member?"

After Sean sent Joe away, he immediately sent for the emissary of the City of Glow and told him the whole story . He did not believe the three noble families would try to keep the treasure for themselves, because none of them knew what it was used for . If the treasure was really something extremely powerful, they should not have had it smuggled out of the Kingdom of Dawn in the first place .

"I don't make the call as to whether I should help him or not," said Sean indifferently . "My instruction is to find the treasure as soon as possible . Now, I've finally obtained a clue that sounds reliable, so naturally I should further confirm its credibility . As for what comes next, I'll leave it to His Majesty . " He paused for a moment, rested his eyes on Marl and asked, "So, do you have any good plans, Mr . Emissary?"

The First Army was invincible, but their unparalleled power would be of no use if there was not an enemy to compete with . Since the First Army did not have expertise in searching for cunning spies, it would be better to place the matter in the three noble families' hands .

"To be completely honest, I wish I had never listened to this story," Marl said, shrugging . "Lady Quinn was expelled from the Kingdom of Dawn because of the church . If there were no church, she would probably have married my brother now . . . Ahem, but since you've asked, I'll try my best to assist you . Although there have been many visitors to the town recently, it shouldn't be that hard to find a particular group of people . "

"A particular group of people?"

"Yes, as the passage to the Cage Mountain is blocked, the fastest way to get here from the Kingdom of Wolfheart is via sea . People have to go through Coral Bay, a port city in the northeast of Thorn Town," Marl replied as he counted on his fingers . "We are going to look for fleets coming from the east, with around 10 to 15 crew members, probably with a little Wolfheart accent, and dressed up like Wolfheart citizens . Based on these criteria, we'll be able to narrow our target down to only several fleets . I reckon there are less than five that meet all these criteria . "

"Is this because Coral Bay . . . is the only big city in the east? Once we circle out these people, are we going to detain and interrogate them all?" Sean asked thoughtfully . The situation was pretty similar to that in Neverwinter . Many people came to Neverwinter from the east but none the west, except the demons . "

"That's right," Marl answered with a nod . "The spy you're looking for is very likely among them . "

"But who should do all this work?"





"Is there anyone else who knows better than the town than the local Rats? A problem that can be solved with money isn't really a problem," Marl replied smilingly as he placed his hand on his chest . "To show the sincerity of the three families, the Tokats is willing to bear all the expenses incurred . "

. . .

In a residential house in the suburb of Thorn Town, the butler of the Earl of the Archduke Island, Hagrid, was fanning impatiently, trying to keep the buzzing mosquitos away from him .

"What an awful place this is! There's not even a mosquito net here," thought Hagrid irritably . How was he supposed to live here two months later when summer started?

Hagrid still had no clue as to why the Magic Ceremony Cube illuminated .

He was not even sure whether the King of Graycastle was really coming for the treasure in the Temple of the Cursed .

"Maybe I should go and see what he is doing at the moment?" Hagrid thought .

Based on the information collected by his men, the Graycastle Exploration Team had arrived at Thorn Town two months ago . It appeared that they were planning something extraordinary . First, they had built a road in the mountain . Then, they had started to recruit death row prisoners . They had also turned the temple on the mountainside inside out . Every day, they shipped bricks and stones from the mountain and piled them up in an open field constantly guarded by the soldiers .

It made perfect sense if they excavated the ground to search for the hidden treasure . However, Graycastle seemed to be more enthusiastic for stones than the treasure itself . Hagrid had once watched them work from a distance . He had seen the soldiers air slabs and bricks in the sun before shipping them to Coral Bay in the east via carriage .

Hagrid did not understand what the King of Graycastle used these black stones for .

He had also managed to obtain some of the stones from the port and asked his men to send them to Earl Lorenzo . As he had expected, the stones did not help the Magic Ceremony Cube recover its legendary power .

The key to activating this ancient treasure must be something else .





"Sir, the person you're looking for is here," reported a man who lifted the curtain and came in .

"Send him in," Hagrid said as he straightened up and turned up the collar of his coat .

"Yes, sir!"

A villager-looking man was pushed in . He knelt down on the floor, looked up at Hagrid gingerly and said, "Sir, my name is Knaff . Do you want to climb up the mountain? As long as you don't intend to cross the mountain, I can take you anywhere you want . . . "

"You were the guide for the Graycastle men when they arrived at the Cage Mountain?" Hagrid talked over him .

"Y-yes . . . sir . "

. . .

Hagrid tossed him a small pouch and said, "Here's 20 gold royals . If you can give me information that would interest me, they'll be yours . "

"Of, of course, sir . I'll tell you everything I know!" Knaff said hotly .

"Tell me what happened in detail . I want to know everything," said Hagrid as he swept the villager with a disdainful look and reclined against his armchair .

When Hagrid heard the exploration team climb up the Cage Mountain, his eyes snapped open . He asked, "Hang on, what did you just say?"

"The witch called Azima —"





"No, after that!"

"Um, she said, 'this way', with a coin in her hand . "

"A coin?" Hagrid pursued . "What does it look like?"

"It looks pretty plain, neither like a silver royal nor a bronze royal," Knaff replied after a moment of contemplation . "Right, the coin isn't patterned . It seems to be a thin slice of polished metal . "

"Was the witch holding it all the time?" Hagrid asked, having a vague feeling that this was probably the key .

"Most of the time she was," The guide answered with a look of dawning comprehension . "Now I remember that this group of people followed the witch . Every time they took a turn, the witch would place the coin in front of her and gaze at it for a while . "

"Damn it! So it does have something to do with witches!"

Hagrid clenched his fist and asked, "Where's that witch . . . called Azima?"

"I, I don't know," Knaff said while shaking his head vigorously . "She left Thorn Town immediately . Perhaps . . . she returned to Graycastle?"

If the witch had stayed at Thorn Town for only a few days, then she must have departed the Cage Mountain before he had left the Archduke Island . However, The Magic Ceremony Cube had been illuminating since his departure, which meant . . . she had left the coin here . Hagrid resolved a multitude of thoughts in his mind . He came to realize that this particular coin was probably a "key" discovered by the King of Graycastle from the ruins . Since it was so important, he speculated that it must be in the custody of the leader of the Exploration Team .

Hagrid had learned who the leaders of the Exploration Team were a long time ago . The personnels of the highest rank of the exploration team were the commander-in-chief, Sean, and the emissary of the three families, Marl .

He thought the king's guard might be easier to deal with compared to the second son of the Tokat family . Like the old saying went, fortresses always crumbled from within .

How many gold royals did he have to prepare in order to pry open the guard's mouth?

500 . . . or 1,000?

Hagrid knew Earl Lorenzo would pay whatever it required to know the secret of the Magic Cube .

Once he managed to touch base with that commander, he would soon be able to learn the answer .

Hagrid was thrilled by his plan .

If he could get the "key" to the treasure, Earl Lorenzo would definitely rely on his counsels more . Perhaps one day, he would even become a lord . After all, anyone could use the Magic Cube . It did not have to be a lord necessarily .

While he was fantasizing about his bright future, there was a pattering of running feet outside the door .

"Wait a minute, who are you —"

"Aargh!"

With clinks and clanks, the door was forced open . Before Hagrid realized it, a group of patroller-like men rushed into his room and prostrated him to the floor .

Hagrid yelled, struggling, "I, I'm a law-abiding merchant . You can't do this to me! I can offer you as much money as you want —"

"The lord of Thorn Town suspects that some church dregs are hiding among your crews . We request your full cooperation with our investigation at once!" The men said firmly . "Save all the talk for his lordship!"
