“Brother! Brother! Wake up! Hurry up and wake up!!”

I had a cup of cold water splashed on my face at night to wake up . I opened my eyes quickly .

Never pour water on a man’s head when he’s sleeping looking up . It sucks and hurts incredibly . It’s the exact same feeling as when you are sentenced to death by drowning . It really induces the same terror as suffocation .

“Wh-What’s the matt-?”

Before I could finish, Freya covered my mouth . She checked her surroundings vigilantly and in a soft voice said, “Be careful, brother, there’s someone coming, and it doesn’t look like they’re harbouring any good-will . It’s that group of merchants . Everybody is asleep like you right now . All of the elves are basically drunk . Look at this, brother . ”

Freya placed a sheet of paper on my shirt . I borrowed the light provided by the torches to read it . It was a very simple recruitment advertisement . But it had Galle Village written on one part of it . I thought about it for a second . It looks like Galle Village is short on workers . But the time period for recruitment was…

A few days ago . In other words, when everyone gathered for the celebration a few days ago . Which means that the people here came for work . No, maybe it was because they believed that Galle Village was producing gold, and all the females came to get gold-jewellery made . As long as gold is involved, people will get obsessed it . After being an apprentice for a few years, they’ll be able to create gold-jewellery . They could then grind it into gold-powder afterwards and it would become theirs .

“Brother, maybe we have discovered the most frightening case . This is my new discovery . See this? Brother, this is a bone! This was a bone that was found in that pile of ashes . It wasn’t burnt completely! The charcoal we saw wasn’t charcoal but burnt corpses!!”

Freya’s gaze was filled with terror . The terror that was soon to befall me woke me right up . It looks like this place is much more frightening than I imagined . This is no elf-trafficking case . This is… this is… this is inviting men here and killing them and then kidnapping the women!

I looked at the elves sound asleep in all directions, even Luna was sound asleep . I couldn’t wake her up no matter how much I shook her . Freya looked at me, nodded and said, “Your guess is right . They definitely spiked the drinks . But it wasn’t as effective on you since you’re mixed-blood . That group of merchants is coming over now . ”

“Just them?”

“Yes, because all the other elves who were preparing to assist are dead . ”

Freya nodded . I noticed that the pearl-necklace on her chest was missing . I made a wild guess, “Freya, did you poison them?”

“Yes . The villagers of this village have all become rotten to the core . They were planning to sell the elves that came for gold . Of course, it’s not their fault, but the fault of the tax official . The tax official threatened the villagers into doing this so that his issue wouldn’t cause the capital to be disappointed . ”

I clenched my teeth .

This sort of thing will incur everyone’s hate . A regional official doesn’t represent himself, but the government . I can’t believe the tax official came up with such a sinister plan for the sake of his own desires and to fatten himself up .

That group of merchants are definitely involved too . They definitely had a hand in plotting it .

“Brother, we must hide now . They should be coming over to take people away soon . I poisoned them, but the poison is only effective on elves, so all of the elves in this village who were assisting them are dead . That group of merchants will definitely do everything in their power to kidnap the female elves!”

“What about Luna then?!”

“Leave her here! Onii-sama! Don’t worry about Luna for now . She will definitely return to your side . The most important thing right now is for us to hide! We aren’t armed . Forgive me for being blunt, but you don’t have any fighting capabilities while I can’t last long in a fight due to my body . So we have to go to the stables now and see if there’s a horse available . ”

Freya grabbed my arm and dragged me towards the village . She was so tense and anxious that she reverted back to her old way of addressing me . It looks like we’re in a real pinch here and have no time for some brother-sister game . Freya’s body started to give in . It looks like she ran back here as fast as she could .

I only found out what Freya had been up to during the time she went away later on . She first went and formed a friendly relationship with the tax official and found out that the village had to offer him gold tonight . At the same time, she found out about their shortage of people who could refine gold .

She then heard about the recruitment flyer from a husband-and-wife couple . Once she got a grasp on what was happening, she poisoned the wine in front of the village chief’s house before running to the gold mine with everything she had .

She then heard about the recruitment flyer from a husband-and-wife couple . Once she got a grasp on what was happening, she poisoned the wine in front of the village chief’s house before running to the gold mine with everything she had .

She got the dog to sneak in and bring out a bone while there weren’t many people around thanks to the celebration .

She then ran back here after all of that .

“How did they transport the people?!”

“Obviously with the horse carriage! Onii-sama, their horse carriage is used for transporting people! If my guess is right, they smuggle the gold in through those fruits . They just didn’t give us the fruits with gold . Onii-sama, we don’t have a second to lose . We just need one horse . Miss Luna will be fine!”

I looked at Luna who was sound asleep next to me . I tried to see if I could pick her up, but a person who’s sleeping is particularly heavy . Even if I wasn’t affected by the drinking and didn’t drain myself with all that dancing, intimate hugging and smooching, all of my limbs were blatantly powerless so I just didn’t have the strength . I had no way of taking Luna along at that moment .

“Onii-sama! Hurry!!!”

At the same time, at the northern army camp .

“!!”

“!!”

Vyvyan suddenly opened her eyes wide . She sat up in a violent fashion and placed her hand on her chest, where her heart was racing while she panted . She had seen her son get hit with an arrow in her dream . He had been shot in his thigh with an arrow by a group of people dressed in black under the moonlight . After falling off his horse, he had been hung up, and his throat was pierced with another arrow . Vyvyan knew that it definitely wasn’t a dream, but one possible future .

Her ability was mind-reading, but she had another ability on top of that; clairvoyance . She could tell what a person wanted to do because she had clairvoyance . Her brother could see the past, while she could see the future . However, the one caveat she had was that she could only see one possible future .

“Fuu…”

She breathed gently and didn’t say a word . However, her blood-red eyes, which looked like they were dripping blood due to her anger, told the whole story . Nothing in this world held any meaning to Vyvyan . But she would not allow anything or anyone to threaten her son .

If they’re going to threaten him, then regardless of whom it is or what the case is, Vyvyan was dead-set on gouging their hearts out .

And this time, it was definitely not like the deer hunting festival last time . That time, Mera had hesitated for a long time, so she wasn’t such a big threat to her son . But it was precisely because of that, that she didn’t notice it . It was different this time, though . Since she could see it in her dream, it was a clear indication of the severity of the matter this time .

If the previous assassination was considered the work of shabby assassins, this time, it was a trained mercenary group in pursuit .

She stood up and got dressed . She then waved her hand and vanished from the camp, leaving just a leaf that was blown past by the wind .

Lucia was lying underneath the moonlight . She curled up and continued to breathe evenly and gently . She didn’t know what took place afterwards as she was still imagining herself and her handsome husband’s appearance in her dream…
