The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

However, to her surprise, the hotel owner did not take the money, but instead looked Yvette up and down.

"Housing is available, but you need to prove your identity first."

Yvette frowned slightly.

At the same time, they took out ten more copper coins.

The meaning is simple: I'll pay double the price, and you don't need to ask any questions.

But the hotel owner was unusually insistent.

"sorry."

"Without identification, I cannot let you check in."

Yvette is a dark magic user, so she naturally has no fear of the dark. In fact, traveling at night is safer for her.

However, his mount had reached its limit, and if he didn't get a proper rest for the night, it would probably struggle to even travel a few kilometers tomorrow.

With a sigh, Yvette lowered her voice.

"Knowing my identity will not do you any good."

The boss lit a cigarette for himself: "That won't do either."

"The area around Magadan City has been rather unsettled lately. Lord Alvin has said that any stranger entering his territory must have their identity verified."

"We were just following orders."

Magadan, Alvin...

Yvette naturally knew about the king selection ceremony.

It's probably that little brat from the Thiel family who implemented these control measures to prevent enemy infiltration.

It's so boring.

Yvette casually tossed over a round token.

She smuggled this from a sleeping guard during her journey to conceal her identity.

After receiving the token and confirming it repeatedly, the hotel owner finally checked Yvette in.

Of course, he also accepted all twenty copper coins on the counter.

The room was very clean and tidy, with no dust.

Perhaps because she had spent so much time in prison, Yvette really enjoyed being in such a clean and tidy place.

My mood improved as a result.

After dinner and cleaning herself, Yvette couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

The reason stems from her severed arm.

The magic circuit starts from the lower abdomen and extends to the tips of the ten fingers on both hands, forming a complete circuit.

But ever since that day when Ryan severed her arm, the magic circuits in her body have never been complete.

This also means that although Yvette has six magic circuits in her body, due to the lack of magic circuits, it now appears that only one circuit can successfully release magic power.

While his strength was greatly reduced, he also felt a strange stinging pain from time to time at the severed arm.

This stinging pain was like the shadow beneath her feet, impossible to shake off no matter what.

He would always appear quietly in the dead of night, keeping her awake.

Then it quietly disappeared, as if it had never been there.

It tormented Yvette relentlessly.

During her time in captivity, Yvette kept thinking about how to solve this problem.

After thinking about it for an entire summer, she finally chose the easiest solution to implement from among countless possibilities.

Using fusion magic, he created another arm for himself.

When she was conducting experiments in the ancient city of Moss, Yvette had already mastered the fusion technique to perfection.

Given enough materials, she could easily make an identical arm in just a few days.

Yvette took notes as she recalled the materials needed for the fusion.

He planned to start making his own arm after completing Antovia's task.

Just then, a commotion arose downstairs.

Judging from the sounds, it seems like people are arguing loudly about something.

Yvette's strength has been greatly reduced, and she is not the kind of person who is keen to join in the fun.

After hearing only the gist of the story, I continued to focus on the task at hand.

But......

Just as the pen tip was about to touch the paper, a chill ran down her spine!

This is the feeling of having your life threatened!

Yvette had only ever felt this way when she was confronting Ryan!

Yvette stood up instantly and used her magic to explore her surroundings.

The cold wind howled outside the window, and the arguing grew increasingly heated at footsteps.

A nauseating terror spread uncontrollably, dominating her will.

wrong!

Something's about to happen in the hotel lobby outside!

After making her decision, Yvette didn't hesitate and plunged into the shadows to enter stealth mode.

In this state, nothing that happens in the outside world will affect her.

At the same time, she cannot interfere with external affairs.

Completely isolated from the world.

At the same time, a highly corrosive aura swept through all the areas Yvette could perceive.

The whole world fell silent.

Chapter 234 How could it be her?

Over the past two days, Ryan and his two colleagues have investigated three villages and towns.

These villages and towns, just like before, were guarded by soldiers on the outside, but were deserted inside, with only some clothes scattered on the ground.

It exudes an indescribable eeriness.

Ryan and Orina discussed it and concluded that if they continued the investigation like this, even if they visited every village and town, they would not be able to obtain any new information.

The key issue is that this time-consuming and laborious approach is too passive.

A crucial clue to the sacrificial ritual is right before our eyes, and the mastermind behind it is beginning to emerge.

They have to take the initiative.

early morning.

Ryan and Orina were cuddling in bed.

Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

It's Rose.

"Ryan! Lady Orina!"

"Finally, there's a clue!"

"Just last night, another village or town experienced a large-scale disappearance! And it's right next to this town, less than 50 kilometers away!"

------

As a contributing editor, Rose has access to many information channels that are unknown to ordinary people.

In addition, her excellent conversational skills allow her to easily extract information from even strangers she meets for the first time.

It turned out to be a caravan responsible for transporting grain, which happened to pass through a village last night.

Just as they were about to go inside to rest, a strange thing happened in the village.

The entire village vanished in an instant.

Fortunately, someone in the caravan happened to have diarrhea, which prevented the caravan from entering the village immediately, thus saving them from disaster.

At the same time, they also witnessed the entire process of the villagers' disappearance.

According to them, the scene was so terrifying and horrifying that even after they had escaped quite a distance, they were still shaken.

After galloping all the way, they passed through the village where Ryan lived, and the horses finally couldn't run anymore, so they stopped to rest.

After the rest was completed, he immediately went to Magadan City to report the matter to Lord Alvin.

Rose, while out gathering intelligence in the early morning, happened to run into the lucky guy with diarrhea and managed to extract this information from him.

Most importantly, Ryan finally learned the culprit behind the disappearances of people in a series of towns in the Auguston Empire.

They were two men dressed in long robes and wearing hoods.

They walked with a limp and moved slowly.

After leaving the town, they headed towards Magadan.

We expect to reach the next town, Hanshan Town, in about two more days.

Rose even drew up the estimated route map.

Upon learning this information, Ryan and Orina immediately reached a consensus.

That means splitting up and acting separately.

Ryan was tasked with going to the town where the disappearances had just occurred to see if there were any new discoveries.

As it stands, only Ryan and his Radiant Flame are capable of defeating those shadowy enemies.
