The next day came in as Kael asked permission from Willy to temporarily go somewhere alone.
"Are you sure, Kael? Or if something is bothering you, you can tell us." asked Willy.
"Hmm....Willy, maybe something personal might be involved. Let's give him some space." said Noel.
She turned toward Kael and spoke once more.
"I believe it's some personal matter right? But if you need we will definitely come to save your ass. Anyways, I hope you take care."
Kael nodded in response. He went ahead and spoke to receptionist with a low tone for few seconds. Then he left the guild.
Willy and Noel wondered what would it be they discussed about just now.
Receptionist looked as if he saw some ghost after talking to Kael but then maintained his composure.
Kael glanced at the official letter the receptionist gave him.
----
After leaving H-Type city and moving to a certain location, Kael had arrived at the destination.
The location was the prison area where The Saints used it to imprison guild members. It's located at North West of H-Type city.
The official guards from the capital city of Valerith were stand by sent by king.
One of the guard stopped Kael from moving further.
"With the king's order passed down, no ordinary person can enter inside. Even if they belong to guild. We ask you to leave...." said Guard.
Kael had silently handed over the official letter.
When the guard read it, he wouldn't believe his eyes what he read that was written.
"Y...You may pass through." said Guard.
"Huh? Why are you letting him in?" asked another Guard on standby.
"Read this...."
"Let me see...huh?..... Well....We can't defy this letter."
Guards respectfully apologised to Kael and let him inside the forbidden area.
Kael began to search the area as he recalls the past where he was once a prisoner.
He remembered how The Saints kidnapped guild members and tortured them to death.
Kael silently investigated the area as he came across the tunnel. The prisoners were forced to mine here at the prison to find a specific stone.
However, Kael had a different reason to enter inside the underground tunnel via the chamber.
----
After hours of investigation, Kael mapped out every corner of the tunnel. He collected enough data and reached a particular point leading to far away, into the depths of unknown.
Kael followed a particular long narrow tunnel, leading somewhere deep. Kael judged that the narrow path leads to the east side of the prison.
Walking for a while, Kael met with a dead end. On first glance, it looked as if the tunnel path ended right there. However, Kael could notice the same Magi-Barrier but they were disarmed probably by the guild members who investigated here before.
What was more surprising that even after tedious investigation, no one found anything else aside from what Kael searched around.
Kael took another step. When he did that, his bracelet which Caelum Rhaegor gave him glowed like last time.
But the barrier was shut down so Kael found it strange. He tried to pass through the dead end wall and surprisingly he easily crossed it without any interruption.
Kael moved back as he took off his bracelet. Then without bracelet, he tried to enter through the rock hard wall but he couldn't do it as he failed to enter through it.
Kael realised that aside from Magi-Barrier, there is another illusion like barrier which acts as if it exists as any normal wall but has hidden mechanism.
He took his bracelet and left the area. He didn't dared to just simply pass through that rocky wall carelessly so he decided to just leave for the time being and report it to the guild branch.
----
When Kael went outside, he told the guards about what he found out before leaving.
"What!? Damn it, those clever bastards are really something. Thanks young man, we will report to the king. You do your job by reporting it to the nearest guild branch located at H-Type city." said Guard, bowing his head a little.
"You shall be rewarded by the king, you can visit him-"
Kael told the guards to not mention his name
"Well, I don't know what you are thinking but I guess I should listen to you and avoid telling your name." replied Guard.
Kael nodded in response and left.
----
After reaching to the guild receptionist, Kael made sure that receptionist doesn't tell anyone who reported about the hidden path at the prison area at North West.
"Oh, you want me to make sure that it was investigated by directly from a random guard stationed near that prison place? But I can't simply just tell t-" receptionist suddenly gulped what he was about to say when he noticed a cold glare from Kael.
"Understood, I will just register a file where the unknown helper reported without revealing any information about themselves....but still I am glad you found something crucial." said Receptionist, thankful to Kael.
Kael turned around and he could no longer see Willy or Noel present.
Kael asked the receptionist where they went.
"Um, I wonder where. They said they were going to shop for dinner. They left just after you did at morning." said Receptionist.
Kael thanked the receptionist, leaving the guild bar right after that.
----
Kael had visited a local bar at H-Type city.
Caelum Rhaegor was sitting calmly, with his two crossed legs lying on the table. He was drinking hot water.
Kael silently went ahead and sat in front of Caelum Rhaegor.
"So you came....I just wanted to check on your progress so far. It seems like you are doing exactly what you should do Kael Ardyn." said Caelum Rhaegor, slightly glanced around then locked his eyes into Kael.
"Well we minors aren't really allowed here. I am actually in reality same age as you. Seventeen year old teen haha. But nevermind the place. They won't notice and besides we are here for a few minutes." said Caelum in casual manner.
"Well aside from that....Kael....Just remember what I had told you to do. Now then report me about your progress on the mission." asked Caelum Rhaegor.
Kael explained from the beginning to the current situation he was at.
