A few minutes later Sayn came and approached the shopkeeper. Sayn and the shopkeeper's mysterious conversation arouses Eva's interest. And unknowingly, Eva began to follow and eavesdrop on the two people's conversation.

I immediately ran into the room covered in black curtains. I positioned myself behind the wooden boxes in the corner of the room. Upon entering, I only saw an ordinary room filled with wooden chairs and tables. Hmm..no! There's one thing that stands out. I saw a white dimensional hole located in the middle of the room. I was very surprised to see him. It's not just me who's surprised, Sayn either.
"What is this teleportation portal for?" sayn asked as she frowned. He's a little confused. It was rare for anyone to wear a teleportation portal because teleportation magic was more practical. Portals are usually used when the teleportation distance is too far away. Because it consumes a lot of mana witches. Not all magicians have large mana pools for long-distance teleportation.
"We'll meet the master with this"
"What's the place far away?"
"No hahaha" the shopkeeper laughed as he scratched his head. "The land of the master's house installed a seal that negates teleportation magic. Everything was done because the master was afraid of an intruder entering the house. So you put up this portal to make it easier to travel."
Hearing his explanation, Sayn grew suspicious. He's sure something's weird. But he didn't find his klue.
"Come on" took the shopkeeper and he immediately stepped inside the portal. Sayn followed later.
I thought the portal would disappear when the two of them entered. But it didn't. The portal is still wide open. So I decided to come in.
When I arrived, I tried to focus my vision. I was in the middle of another room. This room has the same design as the room in the store. A small room filled with wooden chairs and tables.
I looked to my left and did not see the whereabouts of the two people. The room was quiet and I saw a wooden door in front of me. I'm sure they must have gone from this room to the other. I'm pretty worried. What if I lose track of them?
But I strengthened my intention to keep going. Besides, if there's anything dangerous, I can run as fast as I can. I opened the wooden door and the sight was a garden. I thought this door was connected to the other room. But I was wrong. This door is the exit. I went out and observed the small room where I teleported. It turned out to be just a small wooden house with a teleportation portal.
I activated the flying magic and attempted to analyze the situation. This park is very large. Like a garden in the residence of nobles in general. Then in the southwest direction, I saw a large mansion. Ahh~ is the owner of the store is a noble from the country of Kano? But it seems impossible. Because Sayn doesn't know it either.
I watched the mansion. Count the soldiers who guarded it. Infiltrating into the mansion would be difficult. It's different if it's Sayn, because she was guided by the shopkeeper. I'm just a foreign intruder. So be careful.
But after I looked into more detail. There are no guard soldiers at all! "Aren't I able to infiltrate easier this way?" I muttered with a happy smile.
I headed straight for the mansion with lightning speed. I try to sneak as smoothly as possible. When I entered, I saw the spacious mansion hall room. But there's no one there. So I decided to walk forward and head for the other room. I went to the kitchen, the practice room, the toilet, the study, etc. But why don't they exist?! Not even I saw a single waiter? How can? Is this the ghost mansion?
"Ahh~" I complained of frustration. "Where are they? Why is this mansion so desolate? There is absolutely no sign of life?!"
I could only frown while standing still in the middle of the hall. Suddenly something surprising happened! I accidentally looked at the ceiling of the room and guess what I found? I saw a little rope.
KRIETTA! The floor under my feet suddenly moved and opened slowly.
"That's big!" I screamed in admiration. This time it's not a small basement. But a big basement. The entrance alone was as big as the mansion hall. I don't imagine what the room is like. Maybe they're all in this basement, right?
"Hmm.why are basements so popular these days. Should I make it at home too?"
I didn't undo the flying magic and floated down. I did not dare to set foot even though there were stairs leading down. I'd rather fly because I think it's much safer.
When I got to the bottom of the room, I was shocked once again. I didn't expect that this lower rung was even nicer than the hall room above. I didn't expect the decor of this room to be full of glittering antiques. Even I couldn't help but be curious and chose to touch those things. Why am I so interested in these fancy antiques? It was all because these items were so unique. All the decorations in this room are animal-shaped. Which is made of glittering diamonds, rare stones and so on. Even as my hands touched those things, I felt my vitality replenish. This antique thing is filled by magic as well it turns out. It reminds me of the rabbit necklace Denis gave me
"Are all the things that contain vitality recovery magic all designed with animal form huh?" i'm thinking. Ah~ but all this is so funny. I want to pick it up and collect it at home. "But stealing is not good Eva~ You should be able to hold yourself~"
It turned out that there was not only one room in this basement. I saw another room covered in black curtains. It makes me feel de javu. Because this black curtain was the same as the one in the potion shop. So I decided to enter carefully. As I slowly opened the curtain, I scanned the entire room and searched for a hiding place. It just so happened that there was a large mirror in the corner of the room. So I quickly moved myself.
I looked at the whole room and was shocked. Why is this room full of iron bars? I made sure that there was no one in this room so I decided to walk around looking at the city-the bars.
The boxes are so many. As I observed the contents, I instantly fell silent on the spot. "Aah!" I even wanted to scream, fortunately my hand quickly held my mouth back from opening.
I saw a lot of kids in the box. What the fuck? Even in every box of bars there are children! I noticed that every child was sitting limp while holding their bodies in bars. I also saw a strange object on their wrists. It looked like an infusion rope connected to a large tank in the room.
What exactly is going on? Why are the kids here?
I tried to get close to one of the box bars. "Hey boy! What are you doing in this place?" i'm whispering.
The boys heard and looked at me. But that look had no life whatsoever. They just looked at me silently and did not speak with their sad eyes and full of dark circles. It reminds me of a zombie movie. So I shuddered in horror. Since they did not answer, I decided to open the bars and enter.
But I didn't get around to it because I suddenly heard footsteps.
"Damn it!" I looked left right in panic looking for a place to hide. I wanted to go back to hiding behind the mirror, but a hand had already opened the black curtain. It won't be possible! So I reflexively used flying magic and stuck to the ceiling of the room. I clung to the top corner and prayed that the person was unaware of the presence.
Uh! I saw! I saw the guy who came in and it was the shopkeeper. But why is he alone? Where's Sayn?
The shopkeeper approached one of the iron bars. The iron bars were in the corner of the room. He came in and took out a boy. This is the boy Sayn was looking for?
After that the shopkeeper began to hold the boy's arm and guide him out through the black curtain. Without further ado, I followed him immediately. Sayn must be there, right? I have to follow this guy and find Sayn. I want to report what I saw to her.
