On Sunday, July 7th, 777, in the world of Himlear, a rural noble family welcomed their seventh child—a seemingly ordinary girl who, from birth, appeared to have an indissoluble bond with the number...
She looked at the bottle of potion on the table, and her heart was once again in a struggle...
After walking out of Xirui's house, the mysterious man looked around carefully, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly left the place.
However, he did not notice that from the moment he entered Xirui's house, several pairs of eyes were staring at him.
"This must be the mastermind behind this..."
A house not far from Xirui's house.
Hulim, Bars, and the accompanying captain of the guard were observing the person who was leaving through the gap in the window. In addition to the three of them, there were many guards lying in ambush in the nearby rooms.
However, in order to avoid being noticed, these guards did not participate in the surveillance.
"It's possible, but it's more likely that he's just a messenger."
"Do we need to arrest him and interrogate him?"
The captain of the guard asked.
"No," Hulim shook her head. "If we do that, we might lose the clues. Besides, they might have hostages. The best way is to follow them directly and trace their base."
"Hmm... That's right. I'll arrange for someone to follow him."
"That won't work."
Before Hulim could open his mouth to deny it, Bars rejected the captain of the guard's proposal first.
"You underestimated that guy. He's no weakling. Sending someone to follow him will only expose himself."
"So what should we do, King Barth?"
"Of course, only the two of us can follow them!"
"Uh, the two of us?"
The captain of the guard looked at Bals and pointed at himself, as if to say, "Are you serious?"
"Mr. Bars, you two definitely can't do this."
Hulim said,
"You two are too conspicuous. If the enemy's base is in some remote place, you will be easily discovered."
"That does make sense..."
Bals nodded, then became embarrassed again.
"But if the two of us can't act, the other guards won't be able to find anyone to go."
"It doesn't matter."
Hulim said lightly,
"Leave it to me."
