Gochel muttered with a frown on his face. After thinking carefully about the members of the "Cup" Society that he might have offended recently, he could not figure out who might have done it. So he temporarily turned his thoughts to another direction, continued to look at Bana in front of him, and then spoke.
"You just said that you escaped when they weren't paying attention. Since those guys couldn't subdue the two of you, did they let you escape so easily?"
With a hint of doubt, Gocher asked Bana. After hearing what Gocher said, Bana also answered bluntly.
"Yes, sir. These guys were able to subdue us mainly because of the ambush. If we had fought them head-on, we would not necessarily have lost. Although they did ambushed us, they actually did not fully understand our abilities. They used hemp ropes to restrain me, which gave me the opportunity to escape. Because they did not understand, they were also careless when they ambushed us. If I had not saved Rock, I would have escaped long ago."
Bana said to Gochel with a firm tone. After listening to Bana's words, the doubt in Gochel's eyes did not disappear. Instead, he looked at Bana with a hint of vigilance and asked.
"Bana... do you remember when you started working for me?"
"I certainly remember that, sir. It was in March four months ago. I was in Yaz..."
Bana answered Gochel's questions, and after hearing the other party's completely correct answer, Gochel's doubts were not completely eliminated. He continued to ask Bana more about him, and Bana answered all of them correctly.
After listening to Bana's response and confirming that the Bana in front of him was indeed the man and that his mental state was fine, he turned to look at the waiter who had been standing beside him, and then spoke.
"Arauco, bring the lantern and shine it on Bana. Remember to get the more powerful one."
"Yes, sir." In response to Gochel's words, the waiter named Araujo stepped back, and during this time, Gochel continued to talk to Bana.
"When you are photographed later, don't use up your Shadow to resist."
"I know, I know, sir..."
Bana responded, and at this time the young waiter Hui, who had just come out, came into the room, with a strange gas lamp in his hand.
The waiter in green brought the shining lamp in front of Bana and turned it on. Then the orange-yellow light illuminated the surroundings and shone on Bana. Bana did not put up any resistance and just let the shining lamp shine on him.
Finally, after the irradiation lasted for quite a long time and consumed the storage of several "lamps", Hui saw that the lamp did not illuminate any abnormal or extraordinary signs on Bana. Seeing this, Gochel nodded and continued to speak.
"Okay, no need to take the photos. Go back to your room and rest. But it's best not to sleep. We need to prepare overnight and leave Troyes early tomorrow morning."
"Are you leaving tomorrow? I understand, sir. I'll go back and prepare now."
As he spoke, Bana stepped back. Next to Gochel, another middle-aged man with a worried look on his face also opened his mouth and asked Gochel after seeing Bana step back.
"Sir, isn't it too hasty to leave early tomorrow morning? There should be a lot of resources left in Troyes that have not been plundered. The 'Cup' Society that ambushed Bana and his men can't even count on its own people, which proves that they are not that strong. There is no need for us to be afraid of them..."
"There's no need to be afraid of ourselves. The key is that we know too little about them. The unknown often brings uncertain dangers. We are only staying in this city temporarily and don't have time to investigate their background.
"No matter who they are, since they have noticed the abnormality of the Troyes Artisans' Guild, it is a risk for us. Our mission is to destroy the Troyes Artisans' Guild and plunder Troyes' extraordinary resources as much as possible, not to waste energy and fight to the death with unknown associations. Now that all the craftsmen in Troyes have been destroyed and the goal is almost achieved, there is no need to take the risk to stay here. Let's go back and report first, and it won't be too late to settle the account later.
"We will get ready tonight. We can take the train out of the city tomorrow morning. You should also get ready, Farol. There is no need to stay here all night."
Gochel said so. Facing the attack from an unknown society, his cautious attitude made him choose to evacuate rather than confront. After listening to his words, the man named Farol nodded and stepped back. Gochel stood up from his seat after taking a look at the surrounding scenes and prepared to evacuate.
…
Under the cover of night, on the roof of a house not far from the Ugechel residence, a petite black figure was looking at the courtyard in the distance.
"Ah... prepare tonight and leave tomorrow morning. Just as Beverly said, these guys are really cautious..."
Wearing a black cloak and a black hood, Dorothy murmured while looking at the mansion in the distance.
"But... if I have to prepare overnight and not even sleep, it will be a bit troublesome for me, but fortunately there is a solution..."
Dorothy sat down on the floor while saying this, lowered her head, and began to use the lucid sleep method to put herself into a deep sleep and make her thoughts active in her dreams.
Then, Dorothy used her ability in her dream to lift her body and stand up again. Then she took out a small iron bottle from her cloak.
This small bottle was the spoils that Dorothy had found from Bana and the others some time ago. After identification, Dorothy confirmed that it contained a hypnotic gas with a "shadow" property, which could put people who inhaled it into a deep sleep. The gas was produced by a talisman rolled up in the bottle, called the Deep Sleep Talisman. After this talisman was activated and burned, it would turn into smoke with hypnotic properties. If it is collected in a bottle and used, it would be easier to control the dosage and use it on others.
Holding the small bottle that she had just seized, Dorothy opened the bottle cap and put it under her nose. Dorothy began to inhale the gas inside, which made her fall into a deeper sleep.
Afterwards, Dorothy in her dream used her spiritual thread to transmit the deep sleep effect produced by the deep sleep seal on herself to Bana, who was imprinted with the mark of the common knowledge puppet in the mansion not far away.
Inside the mansion, Bana, who was preparing to evacuate, suddenly felt an irresistible sleepiness and fell asleep. Then, Dorothy used the puppet mark to wake up the sleeping Bana.
Bana woke up from his sleep, checked that there was no one around, walked to the window of the next room, opened the window, and saw a huge eagle standing on the windowsill, and next to the eagle was a cloth bag.
Bana opened the cloth bag and saw sticks of khaki explosives inside.
