Judging from Red Blade's tone, it must have been their companion—the one called "Thin Blade"—who made the move. Unless the other side outnumbered them, the two of them wouldn't be able to hold their own—

But why leave Jielu alone? If it were me, I would definitely eliminate all the threat and leave no survivors.

However, this also shows that the attack on his companion was not as simple as he imagined.

At the same time, he was also worried about something else. He had noticed before that the power of the Wind Vortex Stone was gradually waning. If this dragged on any longer, the resurrection might be impossible.

Jelu Snow was filled with self-reproach, deeply sensing her companion's unease. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," she whispered behind her companion, just as her companion overheard her.

He turned his head slightly, thinking he absolutely couldn't show his panic. But this only made his expression more serious. "Don't blame yourself, Yug must be too..."

Despite all the persuasion she received, Philsa still couldn't forget what Redblade had said.

He kept convincing himself that Yug had no reason to betray him, and that he shouldn't be that kind of person.

She felt she was holding her companion back. It would only take a little longer for the person he considered important to return to his side. "If it were Shirley, she definitely wouldn't hold you back."

"What are you talking about? Don't overthink it. She is her, and you are you."

She suddenly stopped, looking uncomfortable.

Philsa sensed her tense breathing. "What's wrong?" He wondered if it was due to her worries over the past few days, coupled with her unhealed injury, causing her to be overly stressed.

Jelu held her head, feeling completely unsteady. Not only that, but her head was throbbing with pain. She began to breathe heavily.

He helped his companion, who could no longer walk on her own, to a tree nearby. She insisted that she was alright and urged him to keep walking, but Philsa dissuaded her. The two rested in the shade of the tree.

"I remember now..."

"Don't say anything for now, just rest quietly."

"No... I'm afraid I'll forget." Jielu forced herself to continue recounting what she remembered: "That night, after I collapsed, I vaguely heard a woman's voice beside me. The voice seemed to say, 'Do you remember Liuli?' After that, I don't know what happened."

"Liuli"... seems to be a person's name, and it could also be a woman's name.

Could it be that the "Midnight Executioner" is using hostages to blackmail Yug?

After listening, Philsa pondered for a while, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally comforted her, "I understand, you should rest now."

Travelers visiting the central part of the continent will invariably arrive at the town of Wad, which, like the town of Siduwominbele, is home to a diverse mix of people.

The only difference is that King Augustus has already sent troops to guard and govern the area.

Based on its geographical location, this area also falls under the king's control. Therefore, Felsa must act cautiously to avoid inviting trouble.

As for Jell Snow, her identity remains unknown, and few people know that she is working with Felsa, so she is not within the scope of the bounty order.

Upon arriving here, Firsa must have his companions go out and gather intelligence in his place.

The Adventurers' Guild is the place with the most and most diverse information in the area.

Any news, whether baseless or factual, will first spread through the various mouths of the Adventurers' Guild.

The king's proclamation and bounty will be posted on the guild's bulletin board immediately.

Feeling better, Jelu didn't delay any longer and went to the guild alone. Philsa couldn't stop her. She had to do something to make amends, regardless of whether her companions cared.

Speaking of her attire, it was rather peculiar compared to other women, and she didn't seem to be a native of the Star Dawn Continent.

The sword at her waist was also a rare sight among Xing Li. She was dressed in light attire, including a short cloak, cloth boots, and socks, all in black, which accentuated the small patch of fair skin that was visible, giving her a mysterious air.

Her blonde hair, tied into a single ponytail with a headband, was naturally dazzling;

She had long eyelashes and eyes as clear as rubies. Her face was fairly pretty, but she rarely showed any expression, making her seem unapproachable.

This is the old companion I reunited with half a year ago.

The two had been close friends for some time, the monitor remembered. Unfortunately, when he reunited with his companion, Philsa was already blind.

The wanted poster for "Felsa the Ice King" was posted in the most conspicuous place on the bulletin board, with a brief description of the Wind Vortex Stone attached below the portrait.

The generous reward attracted a large crowd, sparking much discussion.

"It's really ugly." Jelu doubted whether the person who drew the portrait had ever actually seen Felsa in person, but that wasn't so bad.

She was approached by several drunken adventurers in front of the bulletin board.

Unlike Yug, Jelu didn't easily become familiar with strangers. After glaring at these boring people for a while, she decided to leave.

Before leaving, she overheard the people at the table behind her discussing the matter, and their conversation startled her. She quickly found a place to sit down again, trying to get her ear close, and picked up her teacup, pretending to be idly sipping tea.

"What? They've already found the Wind Vortex Stone?"

"So the bounty is about to expire? What a pity, I was planning to show off my skills."

“You can also present Firza’s head to the king, and perhaps the king will reward you with gold.”

"But now that you mention it, who exactly is so capable?"

"It's a man named Yog Huckleberry," the speaker said with absolute certainty. "It's said that the king has prepared a grand feast to welcome this 'Death Glass.'"
