“So? Ember Windstar, are you going to accept it?”
Nux questioned with a small smile on his face.
Thyra, who was sitting beside him couldn’t help but shake her head inwardly.
‘He started making his move huh…’
“You are going to go there yourself? Do you even know how and what a Spy does?” Ember raised her eyebrow in doubt.
“Huh? Don’t I just have to bring back the information I found?”
Nux questioned with a frown.
“Well, that is the most basic thing, however, it is not that easy to become a spy, you have to learn a code language that only you and the person you are sending a letter to can decipher.
You have to manipulate people into giving information that you need. Even licking the target’s boots isn’t impossible in this job.
You can’t just become a Spy just because you want to, you have to go through years of training, just being strong isn’t enough.”
Ember explained.
Nux, however, shook his head and smiled,
“Who do you think gave you the information about the Deathspike Fort?”
“…”
Ember turned silent.
“I told you the number of soldiers inside the fort, I told you the trap they were hiding and even saved your soldiers from dying meaninglessly.
Not only that, but I indirectly wasted enemy soldiers’ Mana, making them weaker than normal and I did all this within a few minutes when I wasn’t even trying.
What do you think would happen if I visit the Solid Earth Kingdom with the intention of spying?”
Nux questioned with a smile and Ember turned silent.
She couldn’t help but think that Nux’s words are correct.
Nux had lots of secrets, Ember believed that he had a very high chances of succeeding.
Thinking that Ember still wasn’t convinced, Nux continued,
“Look, Ember, whether I fail or not depends on me.
All you have to do is agree to my conditions.
No matter what happens, you aren’t the one taking the loss in this deal.”
“Alright, I agree.”
After thinking about it for some more time, Ember nodded.
Nux’s smile widened and then, he stood up.
“Alright then, I will take my leave now.
Rest well, General Ember.
You might need it when I return.”
Ember frowned, unable to understand why Nux was saying these words.
Thyra, however, understood the hidden meaning in an instant and couldn’t help but nod inwardly.
‘It is indeed tiring. Rest is important.’
Then, she stood up as well.
Ember looked at the two of them and stood up.
“When will you be leaving?” Ember questioned.
“Tonight.”
Nux answered with a smile.
“And I will return in a week.”
“A week?”
“Yes, it won’t take longer than that.”
Ember raised her eyebrow in amazement and then, she nodded.
“Alright, whatever you say.”
Nux smiled, then, he turned around and left the tent with Thyra following behind him.
‘We are leaving tonight?’
After they left the tent, Thyra questioned.
‘No, ‘we’ are not leaving tonight, only I am leaving.’
‘You are not going to take me with you?’
Thyra frowned.
A solemn look appeared on Nux’s face,
‘The Solid Earth Kingdom, it is moving strangely.
The fact that it was able to capture every single spy we had sent there is simply ridiculous.
Going there is risky, therefore, I will move alone.’
Nux answered and from his firm tone, it was clear that he won’t change his mind.
Thyra tried to talk to and convince him, however, he still rejected her.
Not only that, he even talked about this with his other women and soon, a conclusion was made.
‘Nux should go alone.’
Of course, not many women thought about Thyra’s well-being when they concluded this.
Their main reason was jealousy.
‘Thyra should try staying away from Nux as well.’
Thyra knew about this, however, since the numbers were not in her favour, she could only swallow this defeat with a bitter look on her face.
Just like that, the day passed by and soon, Nux left the Woods Dynasty and rushed towards the Solid Earth Kingdom.
The distance wasn’t high, it was only around 20 km, for Nux, reaching there in 10 minutes wasn’t a difficult task, however, he didn’t choose that path.
The path he chose was a roundabout path that is 300 km from the current border.
This is the path used by most of the Spies since it was easier to blend in with the large number of people that use this path every day. Nux wanted to know how and why the spies were captured too easily, this was the reason why he chose this path.
3 hours later, Nux finally appeared in front of a border town and surprisingly, there were 4 soldiers standing in front of the Gates.
“Who are you? Where did you come from? What is your purpose for visiting Red Sparrow Town?”
A guard questioned.
“I am Elijah Winkson, I work for Flaming Gold Merchant Group, I have arrived at the Red Sparrow Town because I want to visit my Merchant’s Group branch that is in Willow Wood City.”
A merchant answered.
The Guard noted everything the Merchant said and nodded.
“You can enter.”
The merchant nodded and entered.
However, after the Merchant left, the Guard’s eyes turned cold and he muttered,
“This is my first time seeing him.
Draw his face, then go visit the Flaming Gold Merchant Group’s branch and check if it is actually him.”
“Yes, sir!”
The other soldier saluted and then left.
Nux, who was seeing everything from the side frowned.
These guards…
They were working too hard…
Just what is happening?
Nux wondered inwardly.
He noted this in his mind and then, he left.
His first target wasn’t this place, but the Army Camp.
He wanted to see how many soldiers were positioned there.
With his [Conceal] activated, he faced absolutely no problems with any of the guards, he just dashed through and reached the Solid Earth Kingdom’s Army Camp within two hours.
After reaching the Army Camp, Nux activated his [Sense],
“!!!”
And his eyes widened in surprise.
