I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 797: Chapter 496 Trap!_2

“Then let’s set off. Just to be safe, it’s better we stick together.”

“Soon, we’ll be searching for traces of Abyss Demons all over the continent. Although we’re still facing those mercenaries this time, this is also our team’s first attempt to venture into other races’ territories!”

“We must succeed!”

Xia Zuo spoke to his companions in a low but serious tone.

The other elves nodded solemnly, their expressions serious.

Sometimes, Xia Zuo really had leadership qualities!

After Erik checked the map to confirm their location, he led everyone toward the Mercenary Tavern.

…

The setting sun slanted westward, draping the city built against the mountain in a warm-colored overcoat of sunlight.

Xia Zuo and Erik stood at a corner of a dilapidated alley, looking around with slightly troubled expressions.

The other elves stood at the entrance of the alley, waiting for the two team leaders to appear.

“I think that information merchant definitely knows something…”

Xia Zuo gritted his teeth and muttered under his breath.

Today, he and Erik hadn’t stopped running around Acot City. They had gone to the Mercenary Tavern and the usual places for information merchants, yet they had not obtained any valuable information.

It seemed that no one knew anything about the Mosa squad of the Starving Wolf Mercenary Group.

However, at the Mercenary Tavern, Erik managed to get the address of this underground information merchant from the tavern servant, hoping to try their luck just in case.

Though the merchant claimed to know about the Starving Wolf Mercenary Group, he had never heard of the name Mosa.

Although the merchant hid it well, even trying to sell other information about the Starving Wolf Mercenary Group to Xia Zuo, as a Ranger, he noticed a moment of hesitation and shock on the man’s face when he heard the name.

However, no matter how much Xia Zuo and Erik asked, even offering a large sum of money, the skinny information merchant still shook his head and firmly denied any knowledge of it.

Seeing no other option, Xia Zuo and Erik decided to leave.

Since they were in the Royal Capital of the Bolin Kingdom, they also had to be mindful of their impact.

“What should we do now?”

Erik asked Xia Zuo in a soft voice.

Xia Zuo shook his head slightly, unsure of what to decide.

“Head back now?”

Erik suggested.
