Chapter 69: Schemes and Plots
Dan Marina’s words made the captain of the Pursuit Squad slightly frown.
Now their search range was getting smaller and smaller.
Clearly, with a little more effort, they could find the target’s hiding spot.
But now, the situation had actually changed?
“Are you sure the target left?”
“Doubting me? Then don’t believe it.”
“Tell me his location!” the captain said with a cold face.
So many days of effort were all canceled because of this woman’s words, but he could not not believe her.
The target they were trying to catch this time was very important.
Dan Marina lightly smiled.
This smile, in the eyes of the Pursuit Squad captain, seemed like she was mocking him!
Damn it, just a Sorceress!!
“Ah~ Burp!” Holding a piece of roasted beast leg, Zheng Yichen watched the scenery on the ground getting smaller and smaller.
As he moved away from the Castle, Zheng Yichen no longer hid his traces.
He directly spread his wings and flew.
This flight could be said to be the most free one he had ever had!
Of course, he had confirmed that those Pursuit Squad members had really shifted their search target before doing this.
Now, although he was free, Zheng Yichen was worrying about where to go next.
After all, his appearance was too eye-catching.
And as Zheng Yichen left those little things behind, he could find that those people were still tracking him.
Zheng Yichen felt helpless about this.
He had been flying all the way, leaving no traces at all.
How could these people keep chasing him?
Luckily, constant weight training had given him a very strong body in a short time, so he did not lack stamina.
While Zheng Yichen was worrying, the Pursuit Squad members were also very angry.
Although they had earlier found traces left by Zheng Yichen, making sure the target had indeed left, while searching for Zheng Yichen’s traces, they also found traces of Dark Church followers in the Forest of Illusions…
Well, this was less important.
They could just have The Church send some regular knights to clean it up; it should not delay the main task.
After that, they could not find Zheng Yichen’s traces anymore.
Through the news from Dan Marina, they learned that the target was actually a dragon… one that could fly!
The Sanctuary Church had ways to track the Dragon Clan.
But this way did not work here.
They could not find any leftover Mana Fluctuation marks of the dragon’s flight.
“Heh, that dragon is not an Adult Dragon at all. You want to track it using old methods?” Dan Marina looked a bit mockingly at the captain of the Pursuit Squad.
Only when they had no other way would they come to her.
But the target being a dragon also made her a bit curious.
A dragon getting mixed up with a Sorceress… tsk tsk, this dragon was probably going to be taken back by the Dragon Clan elders and beaten up!
From those traces, the information Dan Marina collected showed that the dragon was only a Juvenile Dragon, at most just entered the Juvenile Dragon stage in size.
A Juvenile Dragon could fly by strength, but it would get tired after a while, after all, a dragon’s weight is there.
The older the dragon, the bigger the size and the heavier the weight.
To fly easily, it needed Mana support.
Anyway, all Dragon Clan members had such an Innate Ability.
By using a little Mana, they could fly easily without making much noise.
Of course, they could also make a big noise if they wanted.
The Sanctuary Church’s dragon-tracking Secret Method was based on this thing of the Dragon Clan!
The Pursuit Squad captain gritted his teeth and stared at Dan Marina.
If the Secret Method did not work, they would for sure lose the dragon’s trail.
So, to keep tracking, they could only depend on Dan Marina!
“I have been walking with you for almost half a month. Do you still plan to make me walk more?” Sitting on a rock, Dan Marina took off her shoes and gently rubbed her little feet.
She glanced at the Pursuit Squad captain, whose face was getting darker and darker.
“Even if I can take it, you should think about a young girl, right?”
Petty was at a loss nearby.
The whole Pursuit Squad’s mood was very heavy.
She could not be as relaxed and natural as Dan Marina.
Especially when the Pursuit Squad captain’s very dark face stared at her, the little girl almost cried.
“Wait!”
“Ah~ Ha, hmm, this should be fine, right?” Zheng Yichen tilted his head and looked at a stone only the size of a palm.
The small Projection he sent out to do delicate work had several Mana Threads coming out from its claws.
The threads went into the stone, later fixing the inside.
The picture shown on the lens he wore on his left eye also changed from blurry to clear…
“OK~!” Looking at the stone with a few tiny holes, Zheng Yichen nodded happily.
He threw it into the bag he carried around his neck.
Luckily, from the Alchemy knowledge he learned, there was Magic to get and work with materials.
This let Zheng Yichen get enough materials while running around, so he did not fall short.
But they were all common materials.
He could not find any better ones at all.
It was a shame that his time learning Alchemy and Engineering was too short.
There were many things he had not learned yet.
As for fully learning… well, Zheng Yichen thought about the related books in the Underground Library that took up several big shelves… No matter how long he studied, he could not say he fully learned it, right?
Hmm, learning never ends!
He looked down at the pile of same-type stones in the bag, then gathered all the materials near him.
With a jump from the spot, he flew up into the air, and then casually dropped a Surveillance Stone…
“Sister Dan Marina, what is this?” In a car, Petty curiously looked at the stone only half the size of a palm that Dan Marina was holding.
The stone was very plain, with nothing special.
Petty could not see anything odd, so she asked curiously.
During this time together, Dan Marina gave her a feeling of being easy to be with.
In the heavy mood of the Pursuit Squad, she naturally moved closer to Dan Marina.
After all, Dan Marina had been looking out for her all along the way.
Also, the knowledge Dan Marina sometimes shared made her admire her more.
Petty already felt she knew a lot.
But compared to her, she felt very small!
Their understanding of how things exist was not on the same level at all!
Even during this time talking with Dan Marina, Petty felt she had seen the door to Reaching the Tier.
“It’s a stone,” she said with half-closed eyes and a smile.
“What do you think?”
“This… should not be a normal stone, right?” Petty said unsure.
“Now it’s a normal stone,” she said, as the stone in her hand split in two from the middle.
Some stone powder mixed with metal bits flowed out from inside the stone.
“Such smart little tricks. When did the Dragon Clan have such a clever young one?”
Looking at Dan Marina with a smile, Petty was even more confused.
What was so special about this stone that Dan Marina picked up by the road?
