After entering the tavern, Alex directly moved to the back where a lone man sat around a table; this man was none other than Eins, the leader of Alex''s special force.
Upon noticing his boss''s arrival, Eins wanted to stand up to greet him, but Alex stopped him with his eyes, and he nodded; however, Eins was shocked because his master''s eyes had changed color; although it was still heterochromia, it was now silver and blue.
Ignoring the surprised look on Eins''s face, Alex sat across from him and ordered a whisky.
''''How was your mission?" Alex asked while appraising Eins.

''''Hum! Not bad, almost a demigod.'''' Alexmented, pleased with Eins''s progress. Thetter felt happy that Alex praised him; it meant all his efforts got recognized, and he wouldn''t mind hearing more praise, but knowing Alex was not someone that loved to waste his time, Eins shook his head and answered Alex''s question.
''''I managed to find a few suspicious locations, and I tried exploring them, but out of seven locations, only one was particrly difficult to explore; no, it''s impossible with my current strength. It''s why I contacted you, I believe they must be there, or at least an important facility must be there.''''
''''Oh? And where is the location of the seventh ce?" Alex asked after hearing Eins''s exnation. The mission given to Eins was simple, to go around searching for any suspicious locations; Chaos Organization''s headquarters might be there. He couldn''t wait for Leonardo to report to him the organization''s location; too much time had passed. Alex had the feeling that he couldn''t be trusted anymore nor that he had ever trusted him before, just that he hoped that he would aplish this mission for the sake of Cami and others, for the sake of retrieving the Gift Alex had taken from him; unfortunately, the more time passed, the more Alex believed that Leonardo wouldn''tplete this mission. He had to prepare for the worst; he should have killed him back there; however, he would have all the opportunity to do so in the future.
''''The location is somewhere between the two principalities, on a lone ind, inside a forest. This forest is named the Forest of Brume; it wasn''t like this thirty years ago; nobody managed toe back from this forest, at least nobody that really explored the real forest of Brume.'''' Eins showed him the location of this forest on a map he brought out of his spatial ring.
Alex memorized the location with just a look, and Eins continued with his exnation.
''''Your senses while be blocked even in the outer edge of this forest, so naturally one could imagine what would happen if you went deeper; I couldn''t go. Master Sera contacted me, and I shared with her this information, and she said she would go check it.'''' Eins informed him of news he wasn''t expecting.
''''Sera?!''''
Eins nodded, wondering what Alex would do because he seemed unaware that Sera was closer to his location; she must have been heading to the Foxia empire but switched after Eins gave this information.
Alex frowned, not expecting this. Still he was not worried that something bad happening to her, she was not weak, and in a case of danger, she had the means to escape or contact him, not that it matters as he would go there, a small detour before going to meet Elseria as he had something to test wasn''t bad?
''''I see; join Pandora and assist her. I''ll contact youter.'''' Alex said before vanishing.
Eins nodded, seeing the smile on Alex''s face; he must have decided to y with Sera; the two together might be able to find something, so he thought.
°°°°°°
The city of Freyport was built at the center of a delicate ind and is truly a gorgeous wonder. Its appearance is matched by the backdrop of a gentle mountain that helped shape the city into what it is today.
The trade resources these mountains brought were of great importance. Still, they were also influential in architectural designs, as the vast majority of buildings have been built with rocks from those very same mountains.
The skyline is sprinkled with borate skyscrapers, and they seem to be continuously evolving as new additions are added even now. Technology is thriving in Freyport, and it has attracted a lot of attention. Various cultures have left their mark not just on the city''s history but also upon the city''s identity. What historically was a city of few differences has grown into a fusion of everything, and it''s this that unites the 10 million people to this day.
It''s this multicultural identity that has truly left its mark. Hundreds of concession stands, bakeries, and bars offer a plethora of culinary choices, and those who feel hungry for something else can enjoy photography, arcades, one of the many parks, or one many other recreational venues.
''''This city is beautiful, as the rumors say. No wonder the two principalities desired it and were fighting over it; this would have continued if the Drexia empire had not intervened. Since emperor Julius''s intervention, this city neither belonged to principalities nor the empire. Well, let''s stop with the background history. Let''s get over it and join Alex and the others.'''' Sera disguised mumbled before vanishing; although she would have loved to visit the parks or one of the recreational venues, she couldn''t as she didn''t have much time; she wanted to meet him so much that she could only spend a few hours and verify something in that forest.
A few minutes after Sera left, Alex arrived; giving a quick nce around him, he also vanished w heading toward Sera''s location.
