"What clue is it?" I asked.
My expression was somewhat grave. Since Master Verdant was in Oakfield, did that not mean the clue was also in Oakfield?
Could Peter King also be in Oakfield? Or perhaps in the surrounding areas?
Either way, it was definitely not good news.
Master Verdant propped himself up and leaned against the headboard, saying, "According to Senior Brother Douglas, after the battle at Cove Bay, the Demon Lord King disappeared without a trace. No matter how hard we looked, we couldn't find him, so we inferred that he was hiding, recuperating, and growing stronger in secret."
"This undoubtedly made the search much more difficult, so he mobilized me."
"Originally, I just wanted to give it a try. If I could find him, it would be considered a great achievement, and who knows, I might have the chance to re-enter the gates of Mount Sterling."
