"Erin, still no news from Arthur and Alice?"

Hulim asked.

Hearing this, Irene shook her head.

"No, I've asked many adventurers, but they haven't seen any sign of them."

"Is that so..."

Arthur and Alice are missing.

Their disappearance was very sudden. If they had disappeared when Karimal attacked, they would probably have been included in the list of unfortunate casualties.

But the problem is that they suddenly disappeared nearly a week after the incident.

There were no signs.

Although it is not uncommon for adventurers to suddenly disappear, as friends, Hulim and others still made inquiries.

However, up to now, no similar sightings have been reported from adventurer branches in various places.

"These two siblings might be involved in some trouble..."

Erin said worriedly.

Hulim nodded: "I hope they can get through this difficult time..."

... ...

at the same time,

Somewhere in the southeast of Himlier Main Continent.

Ding-ling, ding-ling~!

"Ready to go!"

A large joint caravan is making final preparations for departure.

Several caravan members were taking inventory between the cargo carriages.

whoosh!

A dark shadow suddenly flashed by nearby.

"Huh?"

A member of the caravan who had just finished checking a truck of goods rubbed his eyes hard. He looked around but found nothing.

So he asked the people nearby:

"Hey, did you guys see anything just now?"

"Something?" One of them looked around and didn't see anything unusual, so he scolded, "Where is the thing? Are you trying to slack off? Hurry up and check the last truck and call it a day."

"But I just saw something pass by..."

"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"

"knew... ..."

While these caravan members were talking, none of them noticed that a petite figure in a black robe had blended into one of the carriages full of cargo.

"She" was hiding among the cargo, with golden hair hanging down from her hood, and a beautiful face shrouded in shadows, with one strange purple and one blue eye.

This person is Alice, who has been missing for a long time and whose body has been taken over by Setis.

"...Damn it, how could this body be so weak? It's even worse than a lowly slime!"

"Alice" covered her blue eyes and complained again, and this was the nth time she had complained in this period of time.
