Alice, who was trying to get people to leave, came and went quickly.
After confirming that none of us had anything urgent to do, with the strange mentality of "strike while the iron is hot," we successfully ignored the fact that most of the people present had not slept all night and focused all our attention on the confirmation matters that were about to be carried out.
Since it was already the morning of the second day, and although the huge light source overhead was just beginning to unleash its power, we couldn't use the "open and aboveboard" means of movement that we often used at night, thanks to it as well. Instead, we made some simple disguises and left the building in batches, carefully making our way to our destination while avoiding possible patrols and attention.
Although it might seem like she was just overly self-conscious, thankfully she didn't encounter any problems along the way. She even had the leisure to buy a big bag of wraps from a newly opened food stall and eat them as she walked.
The pancakes are fried to a perfect crisp, with a soft interior and just the right even thickness. When rolled up, they are filled with a generous amount of meat strips and a small amount of refreshing vegetable leaves, and then covered with a generous amount of sauce that seems to be overflowing. The combination of spiciness and savory flavor brings a sense of satisfaction.
Even though I ate a few snacks before going out to fill my stomach, I still couldn't help but drool when I smelled the aroma of the wraps.
Of course, Miyuki is really good at taking care of people. Although she didn't say anything or show any particular emotion, the very act of silently handing over the paper bag was enough to convey her intentions.
Everyone happily filled their stomachs with burritos on the way. Alice, who still hadn't had enough, took advantage of my inattention and bit off the largest strips of meat from the end. While I was hurriedly trying to prevent the remaining contents from slipping out, she even swallowed the paper wrapping without a care, revealing a mischievous smile.
...I'm serious, I'll find a chance to get back at her sooner or later.
Having successfully reached the intended location, and after climbing over the wall again, the group entered the abandoned courtyard.
Of the group, only two had never been before. Thiel stood quietly, as if he had expected this, while Stanley looked around in panic, even grabbing me several times to ask if we would be noticed, or if anyone else was hiding in the courtyard. But in the end, he suppressed his worries after receiving reassuring answers.
It goes without saying what needs to be done; everyone is well aware of their responsibilities.
After confirming once again that there were no traces of other people's activities near the entrance, and that no one seemed to have entered or left any surveillance nearby, Frostfire's cold light swept across the ground within the large soundproof barrier that Stanley had successfully set up using the crystals buried in the four corners of the courtyard. It cleanly and decisively cut all the debris still remaining in the center of the courtyard in two at the root, and pushed it against the wall as if it were being pushed by an invisible pusher.
After signaling everyone to leave the empty center again and reiterating that I did not need help, I finally focused my mind in the quiet courtyard.
Of course, just in case, I still held a few fragments of magic stone in my hand as a precaution, and stood steadily in the center of the open space.
Although I am confident that I can do it successfully, I am still a little nervous at this time.
Taking a deep breath, instead of obediently placing the sheets of paper one by one on the ground, I casually tossed them into the air.
Like scattered petals, or pale snowflakes, birds or butterflies, or even withered leaves swirling down from trees, countless thin sheets of paper fluttered in mid-air, swept away by the flustered breeze, completely obscuring my vision in a white haze.
However, now is not the time to rely on sight.
I closed my eyes, clutching the crystal and the magic stone, letting my senses wander and see in place of my eyes.
I seemed to hear someone mutter a curse under their breath among the figures standing nearby, and then hurriedly bustling around, but that wasn't the main thing to pay attention to right now.
Although it was a rudimentary marking method, I made some preliminary marks on each page using different elemental stones and magic stones, since I couldn't confirm the specific details at the moment.
Now, these markings have become excellent guiding mediums, allowing me to smoothly find the required paper by comparing the differences between them in a perspective surrounded by outlines, and manipulate the surrounding wind to carry it to the designated location.
Once again, little Feifei escaped from the ruby and sat on my shoulder, gazing up at the slowly falling pages above us, chirping excitedly in my ear.
It spread its wings and flapped them, the tips of its feathers gently brushing against my ear. Then, as if finally remembering the special instructions I had given it, it settled down reluctantly, no longer trying to fly into the sky and get close to this wonder. It just blinked its beady eyes and watched quietly.
Soon, most of the blank sheets of paper fell smoothly to the marked location, except for one that I caught in my hand instead of falling directly to the ground.
The patterns drawn on the white paper are connected end to end in an orderly fashion, outlining a nearly complete and perfect design. Although the gorgeous and complex beauty of the patterns can be clearly felt even from the details, if viewed from a slightly higher vantage point, the hidden contents would be revealed even more clearly.
