Trixie's P.O.V
Trixie, Hildegard, Swick, Junjie, and Hoshi were standing at the place where Royce had disappeared. Trixie had just said that Royce must have used a shadow walker.
Hoshi- Shadow walker?
Hildegard- It's a device made by the shadow clan. With it, you can travel through the shadows
Swick- I thought it was just a legend
Trixie- It's not. A friend of mine has one, and I've seen it in action. And look at the location where he was standing. It was in a shadow.
Junjie- If Royce has come into possession of a shadow walker he could travel to anywhere in the eastern caverns
Hildegard- Okay. What do we do?
Junjie- We need to figure out where he is. There is no doubt that he is the one that ghouled the water elemental
Swick- Wouldn't that nimrod need dark water to do that?
Junjie- He would, and the wast number of ghouls in his possession shows that he already has a large amount.
Trixie- Someone like him has to have a secret Base or something
Hoshi- It could be anywhere. We would have to search the whole eastern caverns. And that would take weeks or months
Junjie- You're both correct. He must have a base, but searching every single cavern would not work
Trixie- So, how exactly are you planning on finding it?
Junjie- Process of elimination. Royce's wouldn't dare build a base in Peach Blossom Spring cavern, or any other highly populated areas. It would be too easy to spot him. He would also avoid auroris cavern, due to how many miners are there every day, as well as the Pyritor.
Swick- That doesn't leave too many caverns
Hoshi- If we split up we could find the base no problem!
Hildegard- Yeah, so here's--
Junjie- No
Hildegard- Huh?
Junjie- I will search for Royce on my own
Trixie- Seriously?
Junjie- Yes
Hoshi- Wouldn't it be faster if all of us worked together to take him down?
Junjie- I can take care of Royce. And I will do it alone
Junjie said that in a serious tone. He wasn't joking. But what Trixie couldn't understand was why would Junjie suddenly want to take on Royce himself? It didn't make any sense to her. But it seemed like Hildegard had thought of something, as her facial expression turned from surprised to mysterious.
Hildegard- Okay
Hoshi- What?
Hildegard- Okay, Junjie. We won't get in your way of searching
Swick- What are you? A nimrod?
Hildegard- No
Junjie- Thank you, Hildegard
Hoshi- Why w...
Before Hoshi could continue, Hildegard elbowed her. As if she didn't want Hoshi to talk. As Trixie saw this, she became more confident that Hildegard might have an idea or something.
Trixie- I agree with Hildegard.
Swick and Hoshi looked at the others, and nodded in agreement. Junjie got on his mecha and turned to the group.
Junjie- I will let all of you know when I find him
With that, he left.
