Chapter 20 The Wind Rises

"Okay, I know."

Kai couldn't help but frown after hearing what Qiu said. Then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. After laughing, Kai stared at Qiu with a serious face and said.

"Since it's Sister Etia who admitted it, I won't ask any more questions. And you've heard a lot about the Brotherhood, and considering Charlotte's family situation, you'll probably become one of us in the future. I won't hide anything about what's going on."

"I just hope you won't betray the trust of Etia's sisters and let them get hurt."

"Don't worry about that. As their brother, even if I die, I will die before them."

After hearing Kai's words, Qiu Chief couldn't help but say something with a double meaning. Furthermore, for Qiu Chief, death in this world wasn't real death. So, when danger truly struck, Qiu Chief wouldn't mind sacrificing his own life to protect his two sisters from harm.

"Brother Qiuqiu, and Kai, what are you two talking about? I don't quite understand."

"Also, I'm the highest level right now. If there's any danger, I'll definitely be the one protecting you."

Charlotte spoke to the two men in front of her with a hint of dissatisfaction. After all, in Charlotte's memory and cognition, one was the newly promoted Level 2 Chieftain, and the other was the Level 5 Agent Kai. They were both lower in level than her, and certainly not as powerful as she was. Thinking of this, Charlotte wondered if she could look down on them.

"Okay, Charlotte, take away that weird look of yours."

"Now it's business."

Kai interrupted Charlotte's whimsical thoughts and spoke.

"Etia briefly mentioned what happened yesterday, and after we got in touch, we discussed it in detail."

"Regarding the secret orb, that item was indeed an important item that Lord Karaqiu secretly gave to Lord Barna, and then Lord Barna gave it to our brotherhood to keep secret."

"Recently, the Brotherhood's senior leaders received an order from Lord Karaqiu via the Bluebird communication channel, asking us to find someone to secretly deliver the Esoteric Orb to Magic Ridge."

"Although this order did not come directly from Lord Barna, the senior officials have not been able to contact Lord Barna for a long time."

"This thing came from Lord Karaqiu, and the communication Bluebird technology used was provided by Lord Karaqiu. The communication Bluebird, which was originally only capable of one-on-one communication, suddenly had third-party access information. Obviously, this could only be done by Lord Karaqiu. Therefore, the senior officials did not doubt the Lord who claimed to be Lord Karaqiu on the Bluebird. They were just suspicious that Lord Karaqiu's voice was too old, and they guessed that Lord Karaqiu had concealed it himself."

"In addition, this item was secretly given to Lady Cynthia, a high-ranking senior magician in the Peoris Magic Tower, to which Lady Karaqiu belongs."

"After discussion among the Brotherhood's senior leaders, they ultimately decided to carry out Lord Karaqiu's orders."

"And this matter was ultimately handled by your father, Charlotte, who is also a high-ranking member of the Brotherhood. Of course, I know that your father actually wanted to obtain more rewards through this important mission and repay some of his previous debts. The other high-ranking members were also aware of the situation."

"These things are the cause of this mission, and they are also what you and Etia don't know."

Kai quickly explained the cause of the mission, and after a brief pause, he continued.

"Originally, Charlotte, your father had planned to come here on his own. Although the environment in Magic Ridge is a bit harsh, as the birthplace of magicians and priests, it's primarily used as a training ground for these two professions. High-level monsters have been cleared out by senior magicians and priests, leaving only ordinary monsters below level 10. Therefore, those who venture here are mostly apprentices."

"As a high-level professional, Charlotte, your father would definitely attract a lot of attention if he came here. Especially with the warning magic circle unique to Magic Ridge, your father would probably be noticed by the mages and priests as soon as he entered the village."

"Because of this consideration, I finally sent you two sisters here."

"At the same time, when you left, you secretly sent me to follow you all the way."

As Kai spoke, Qiu Chief finally understood the entire situation and its urgency. However, he felt there were still many strange aspects to this matter. For example, being unable to enter the village didn't prevent Charlotte's father from secretly following them. If Charlotte's father had been there, the secret orb wouldn't have been taken away by the monster. If it weren't for him, Etia might have been in real danger, just as she claimed.

Although this incident left Chief Qiu with many doubts, the fact had already happened, so there were no more ifs. Moreover, Kai did not give Chief Qiu much time to think about other things.

"When you were attacked yesterday, I was actually hiding not far from Etia. My level was too low, and I was just following you all the way, so I didn't notice the monsters hiding in advance."

"Luckily, Etia's sister discovered it early, and Charlotte arrived in time. So, I didn't come out and run away with Etia."

"But because of this, I witnessed with my own eyes the monster leader replacing the secret orb in your backpack."

"This behavior is obviously unusual."

"But there's no time to dwell on this now."

At this point, Kai clearly had a more ominous suspicion, but he didn't seem to want to speak it out. Qiu, who had heard this, also wanted to say something, but Kai's next words didn't leave him any room to speak. Charlotte, with her simple mind, clearly hadn't given it much thought.

"Because after seeing the monster replace the items, it ran away to another place."

"Due to the urgency of the mission, I went to track down the monster leader."

"But fortunately, the monster stopped not far from where you were attacked, and then began to gather other monsters around it. Judging from its behavior, it doesn't plan to leave anytime soon."

"To avoid being discovered by the increasing number of monsters, I noted the approximate location and returned to where you were attacked. Then I followed your footsteps and arrived at the Magic Ridge."

"Actually, at first, I was planning to find an opportunity to steal the quest item from the monster leader. But I didn't expect that one of the summoned monsters was a Frost Bulldog, which is somewhat counterproductive to my class, so I had no choice but to leave."

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed to be forced back by the monster, Kai explained again, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of Charlotte.

"Because I know where the monster is, I told Sister Etia to inform you to prepare for battle."

"After arriving at the village yesterday, besides resting for a while, I went around asking around for information on the monster's current location."

"This also led to my not replying to Etia's messages when we contacted each other before."

"Of course, I've also found out where the monsters are right now. They're in Frostwind Canyon."

"I think the monster leader is not very high-level, and the monsters he summoned are even lower-level. If Charlotte takes action, she will definitely be able to completely destroy them."

Having said that, Kai has completely explained the whole cause and effect.
