Chapter 220 Agreement and Searches in Millfall
When Vicente heard that group's invitation to join forces, he looked at Rory and then at Julian and remained silent momentarily.
Wanting to save his teacher's life was completely different from wanting him as an ally. However, this was a consideration that Vicente had to give some importance to because these men could add power to his group.
These teachers could not only increase the group's chances of success by exploring the innermost part of the Alpine Woodpecker Forest, but they could also help speed up the addition of pentagrams to Vicente's group.
Getting pentagrams faster would be good for the group to gain enough to return to Millfall and more effectively help the rest of the Mazzanti family grow locally.
But in addition to helping the group of the Mazzanti family achieve their goals more quickly and with less danger to the team, these companions of Julian's could give them more important information.
There was no way for Rory and Vice to be sure that their map would lead them to the precious item these people were after. If it didn't, they could get more than they could on their own.
'Even though joining forces with these men will expose the place we are going to, I see more advantages in joining my group with theirs than continuing to travel alone.' Vicente thought for a moment.
When all the valuables in the area had been collected, and the body of the professor killed there was already under the control of Julian's group, Vicente made up his mind.
"All right. Let's team up." n-/OVelbIn
Julian smiled when he heard this, feeling more secure about his group's mission. "So where are we going now? Did you travel by chance, or were you looking for a particular magical creature?"
Rory replied, twisting the truth a bit so the men wouldn't suspect his group might be after the same thing as them. "We have the probable location of creatures useful to our purpose. We were on our way to this place, a few hours from our current position, when we stopped to help you."
"A few hours?"
"I think we should follow their destination for now. You're heading inland from this area, right?" One of the teachers asked.
"Yes," Vicente said.
With this answer, the strongest of the teachers there decided. "Very well. We're going in almost the same direction. Then, let's help your group get your pentagrams. That will improve the chances of survival for all of us in this part of the forest."
"Okay!"
With everyone in agreement, they soon set off, Julian's group joining Vicente's on the trail their map marked as one of the paths to the 'treasure.'

Meanwhile, in Millfall...
It was evening in this town, but a new problem had sprung up to entertain the curious and disturb those involved in a new local situation.
The night before, Nina Fuller, a young disabled girl, had disappeared while at the town's most famous academy!
The Fuller family wasn't enough to stir up the town. Still, as the local situation with the Mazzanti family and the Scarlet Syndicate became more stable, her disappearance began to attract local attention.
The Fuller family had already hired House Mazzanti to search for young Nina and even some of the local nobility were getting involved. But even with dozens of people already investigating the disappearance, nothing useful had been discovered so far.
More worried than ever, Eve headed to the home of one of the few people she thought could help her.
