The more they walked, the more Thomas pointed towards dead bodies. In the end, William was surprised that Thomas pointed towards a couple of thousand of masters.
He thought there would be tens of them or sothing. But it seed the mission of taking down Stark's son held special importance to that mysterious force who sent these masters over.
William didn't hurry to leave. He finished touring the place, taking an hour or so in doing that, before he returned to the hall and received everything his friends got.
"Move around the place, scan everything here using the detection arrays," William didn't like how this situation looked like. If his doubts were true and all of these dead masters belonged to the dark side, then that ant their total number here was much more than he initially thought.
It'd be more like a small army appeared and infiltrated the city. That wasn't just a casual visit or plan towards this place. And that also ant there were still lots of rats hidden in different places in this city.
"Don't miss the streets and buildings around, scan everything and be vigilant."
"Don't worry, if we find anything, we'll inform you," Ibra waved his glaive a couple of tis in the air, "but first, what's about that weird thing on your chest? New fashion perhaps?"
"Consider it like that," William laughed and didn't say anything about his friend's comnt.
"Tsk!" Ibra knew he'd not get anything out of William if the latter decided not to speak. He led everyone out, while William stood alone in the middle of that ruined hall.
He felt a little lancholic when he went through all the rings of these folks. The first thing he noticed was the presence of a seal over the ring, sothing that was filled with darkness energy.
"This is a promising start," William found lots of scrolls in the first couple of rings he opened. But then, he found nothing! Literally nothing as if these scrolls were just at the first few rings and only that.
"Let's see what's all this about then," William opened the scrolls. He expected to find empty papers, but he was surprised to find few words left in all the scrolls he opened.
It was the sa words, exactly the sa. And they all held one simple ssage: I dare you to co and fight .
"Hmm… He seems to be too anxious to fight …" William was feeling sceptical about all this. Finding the sa ssage all over the scrolls, finding nothing else about the identity of these folks or the one who left behind this repeated ssage made him quite vigilant.
It was apparent that these people were his enemies. And he got a small list of enemies actually in this world. So his earlier doubts deepened. Not to ntion the one standing behind all this seed to know a lot about him.
He guessed that William would suspect sothing, and would co to look for clues. And that was why he left all these ssages over to him. William knew if he went all over the city, visiting other cri scenes, then he'd also find the sa kind of ssages in all the rings he'd collected.
He already thought about doing such a thing, going all over the city, visiting all the places where the young generation of the Vancouf family got killed. But now he dropped any idea related to this. Instead, he got sowhere else to visit.
"Did you find anything useful?" as he went through the rest of the rings, finding nothing worthy, he spoke to Ibra.
[Nothing yet]
"Let's go then, we won't find anything here," William moved outside the mansion, "et at the mansion gate."
[Tsk! Always this impatient, fine!] Ibra didn't delay and ca with others, "Where are we going now? Acting like cri scene investigators or sothing?"
"No, it's all prearranged and planned by our enemy," William paused, "let's go and visit where all this started in the first place, let's go towards Richard's mansion."
William didn't know where this bastard lived, but he was quite sure if he was destined to find clues then they'd be there.
Everyone in his little team was curious about what was going on, kept asking questions without getting any satisfying answers. It wasn't that William didn't want to tell them anything, but because he also lacked any knowledge about what they were asking about.
William got the help he needed from the masters Stark sent with him. He spoke with Stark directly about his intentions, and shared with him what he found in brief.
He said that they found weird masters who didn't belong to the city in the scene. And that made Stark more enraged, demanding for more answers, more specifically the identity of the bastard who killed his son for revenge.
William only promised to share news he'd find with him. He knew if that enemy was strong as he expected, then he'd need all the help he'd could get. And having the aid of a furious father wanting to avenge his son wasn't that bad.
William reached where Richard used to live. It wasn't any lesser than the mansion he visited before, yet it was a lot different. There were no signs of any fight, nothing destroyed, and everything looked just normal.
"If not walking through death and ruins all day here, I'd have doubted that brutal war even happened," Sara said, and others nodded.
"Thomas," William didn't even sit a single foot in here before letting his man start using his magic. Thomas didn't find anything abnormal at first. After all there was no sign of any fight in this place. But when they went deeper inside that mansion, Thomas found sothing new.
There was so sort of a hidden door behind a grand wall. William let Ibra handle the remodelling of this place in his style, using his glaive to forcely open the door, taking down lots of the wall as well.
