Chapter 51 Bad News

Although they dealt with two dragon followers at once, Chief Qiu and his companions were very careful along the way to prevent another attack.

There was no conversation along the way. After everyone returned to the Magic Ridge, Chief Qiu and his companions finally relaxed their tense nerves.

Arriving at the village, the impromptu group dispersed once more. Qiu, Charlotte, and Comelina prepared to return to the inn to rest, while Ethan took the Sage's Staff to Leonardo, the high priest in charge. As for Angelica, she also had to hand over the Secret Orb to her teacher Cynthia.

Before parting, Angelica invited the three enemies to watch the sage's prophecy tomorrow. As for why tomorrow was the day, it was because so much had happened today, and the priests and mages needed to be prepared and watch out for any accidents.

Only now did Chief Qiu and his companions understand the true circumstances of this mission.

This is a long story, but Angelica gave a brief explanation because she also learned the brief information from her schoolmate Tara at the village gate the day before yesterday.

Hundreds of years ago, the forefather of priests and magicians, a sage with prophetic powers, prophesied about the world. As the world neared destruction, two stars would appear: the Birth Star, heralding the birth of a prophet, and the Ancient Star, heralding the prophet's awakening. When the Ancient Star appeared, the weapon it left behind could be used to predict the prophet's message.

After hearing this clichéd story, Qiu Chief wasn't particularly interested. After all, the novels he'd read before were full of bizarre and outlandish stories. However, thinking of Etia and Charlotte, Qiu Chief couldn't help but feel a little anxious. After all, Qiu Chief's death in this world wouldn't have much of an impact, but his two younger sisters were native to this place, and Qiu Chief had to find a way to protect them.

In contrast to Qiu's worried expression, Charlotte was actually beaming after hearing the story, as if she had just heard an amusing story. Qiu, the narrator, only saw Angelica's indifferent expression. The little girl next to him, Comerina, was also the same.

"Brother Qiuqiu, I returned from the future to the present just for this matter."

It seemed as if she saw the enemy chief looking at her, Comerina said with a sad tone, but she was remembering the bad future when she came here.

After discussing the matter, Qiu and the other two returned to the hotel. Perhaps influenced by what had just happened, Qiu returned to his room to rest after noticing Comelina's return. Qiu, Charlotte, and Etia also returned to their room, apparently recounting what had happened.

On the way back to the room, Qiu found that although Etia had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of worry and his heart was full of worries.

After returning to Etia and Charlotte's room, Qiu Chief looked at the corridor outside the door and saw that there was no one there, so he locked the door.

As soon as the door was closed, Etia couldn't wait to ask what had happened. Qiu Chief did not hide anything from Charlotte and told her everything that had happened.

After hearing the story, Etia expressed joy at the mission's successful completion. Regarding the sage's prophecy, Etia told Qiu and Charlotte that it was a long-standing and widely known story. However, Etia hadn't anticipated that the prophet of this story was actually the forefather of priests and magicians, and that the prophecy had already come true. At this moment, Qiu felt Etia's worries deepen.

"Etia, tell me."

"Has something happened? You must be hiding something from me and Charlotte."

Seeing that Etia had remained silent after hearing what happened today, Chief Qiu could only ask first.

"what!"

"I didn't expect you to find out, brother."

Etia looked at Qiu Chief in surprise, then picked up a bouquet of flowers on the table, which Qiu Chief had not noticed before.

"After you guys left today, Brother Kai came to see me and gave me a bouquet of flowers."

Looking at the happy Etia, Charlotte said a little angrily.

"Damn Kai, he actually attacked my sister."

When Qiu Chief saw this, he became alarmed. As for Kai, he directly put him on the blacklist.

Afterwards, Chief Qiu put the matter behind him. Looking at Etia, who only reported good news and not bad news, Chief Qiu's tone became a little serious.

"Sister, I think the matter should be settled. You have hidden some things, so tell them all."

Faced with the chief's repeated questioning, Etia finally let go of the secret. Tears instantly filled Etia's eyes, and the flowers in her hand fell back onto the table.

"Brother and sister, something happened at home."

Etia cried and hugged her sister Charlotte beside her, and then told Qiu Qiu and Charlotte what she had concealed.

It turned out that Kai, in addition to secretly visiting Etia, had also told Etia a tragic story. Since discovering he couldn't contact Etia's family the previous day, Kai had sought out other Brotherhood members near Etia's home and visited their territory to investigate.

A former brotherhood member sent a message today that Etia's family territory had been invaded by an unknown force, and the lord of the territory, Etia's father, had disappeared. Etia's father's weapons and equipment were placed in the study at home, but they were all stained with blood and had new scratches from the attack.

"Since something happened to your father, we should go back now."

Seeing Qiu Chief about to get up and go back to pack his things, Etia reached out and pulled him over, while holding Charlotte tightly with his other hand, fearing that she would do the same as Qiu Chief.

Seeing that Etia was trying to stop her, the enemy chief, who was afraid of hurting her, could only sit back down. However, Charlotte still asked the reason, and then Etia explained the situation.

After hearing Etia's explanation, Qiu Chief suddenly realized the truth. The reason was simple: Etia's father was a high-ranking warrior, yet he had disappeared after being attacked. At this point, Qiu Chief, who wasn't even a junior professional, would be dead if he went with Charlotte.

Perhaps fearing Charlotte might not know what to do next and, impulsively, sneak back, Etia also shared his plans. If Chief Qiu hadn't exposed him, Etia would have kept it a secret from Charlotte and had an excuse ready. But after considering what happened today, Etia felt that excuse could become a target for everyone's actions.

In Etia's opinion, the Dragon's followers had gone to such great lengths to attack multiple locations simultaneously, indicating that the current situation would not end quickly. The best approach was to seize the current clues and follow the mages and priests. On the one hand, they could use the priests and mages' power to protect themselves, while on the other hand, they could quickly improve their own strength during this period. In this way, they could not only eliminate the enemy's minions, but also encounter the true murderer and achieve true revenge.

Furthermore, Etia still harbored a hope, hoping that other high-ranking members of the Brotherhood could help find his father. He entrusted this task entirely to Kai. Now that his father was missing, Etia and Charlotte, as family members of a Brotherhood member, could have watched over a member of the Brotherhood, but due to their youth, they hadn't joined and therefore had no real means of contacting the Brotherhood.
