Heading toward Wild Heart Kindgom.

According to Jade, Helena's Fathe the last king of Itreocite were on friendly terms with the current king of Wild Heart Kingdom. Because of that, it's more likely that the beastmen cavalry which attacked the group which was escorting the captured Royal Family to save them. And there's a huge possibility of them en route to the Wild Heart Kingdom now.

Naturally Christian wouldn't take his chances. Because if the beastmen cavalry were some haters of the Royal Family Maria would still be in danger.

But by using his new skill called "YoutubeOracle" which was a very weird skill only usable by the system he managed to get some concrete clues.

It all started like this.

_

The morning just after Jade and Christian escaped on that Slave Shop.

The ground was wet not only because of blood which dirtied every street but also because it just finished raining which only happens once in a while in Itreo. The people took it as some sort of sign from God and knelt for forgiveness or something.

"System, do you know any method to locate someone?" Christian asked in his mind.

Sadly, the tutorial phase was done and the system wouldn't support the host for a while. So Christian just checked every single skill in the shop hoping that one must at least fit his needs. Indeed they were a lot of spells including divination, tracking and the like which could locate Maria but Christian didn't have sufficient points to buy any of those. One more thing is that after the tutorial phase was done, the cost of spells suddenly became sky-high.

If you could buy 2 or 3 2nd-tier spells with 1000 SCP, then now with this new prices I'm afraid it's only good for one 2nd-tier spell.

But it's not like there's no more hope. Christian remembered a skill-reward having a word Oracle!

"Use Youtube? Oracle?" Christian asked the system and immediately heard it replies.

"What would Host like to know?"

Christian replied unhesitantly. "Where's Maria?"

Just as those words left his lips, he heard a familiar song playing on his mind.

Christian also couldn't help but sing along to the tune.

"Somewhere over the rainbow"

"Way up high"

"And the dreams that you dreamed of"

"Once in a lullaby"

Just as he turned around he saw a rainbow over the horizon. And he doesn't know if it's coincidental or not. The Wild Heart Kingdom happens to be beyond over that horizon.

So Christian chose to believe in the system and Jade's information. And are now heading to Wild Heart Kingdom aboard a carriage together with a huge caravan group.

Jade inched closer to Christian as she whispered to his ears, "Are you sure that these people are reliable?"

Christian nodded in affirmation. The carriage they were boarding belonged to a merchant named Adam. Christian specifically picked this group because this carriage only had 2 bodyguards. Based on his novel knowledge, a merchant with few guards was either confident in their group's strength or just plain stupid. And Christian clearly saw the level of one of the guards, he was actually a class 3 Warrior as for the other one he just couldn't appraise him! As for the merchant himself, he was also powerful! Not in terms of combat ability but because was actually a level 4 merchant with titles such as "Great Swindler" and "Silver Tongue Warrior" which was all about lying.

Christian just told Jade to not mess with them as he couldn't appraise should be more powerful than him or if not possessed a magical item that blocked his appraisal skill.

Christian already experienced Adam's might first hand. God knows how much they had to pay just to aboard here and for Christian who had low-level social abilities he really had a hard time bargaining. What was there to say when the caravan was about to leave and there wasn't really much space on other carriages. Other than this one almost every carriage was full or either smelled too much that few people were close to them.

Adam approached Christian and introduced the two guards, "Rock, Ruff, meet Christian and Jade they're going to ride with us until we probably reached Moonshine City!"

Christian nodded and shook hands with them. Rock, the Class 3 Warrior had strength enough to crush a normal people's hands with just a handshake. Luckily, since Christian was also a class 3 Hunter although not specializing on strength ever since unlocking his bloodline he was now stronger than most Hunters.

Christian didn't find anything wrong and thought that Rock wasn't able to control his strength. But in reality, Rock was probing him and by that short interaction not only Christian's strength was revealed but also earned his respect. For someone as young as him to be a Class, 3 could be considered a genius.

The carriage wasn't really moving fast. In fact, normal people's walking speed was even faster than their current pace. But it's not like without reason, first, the carriage was carrying very fragile products, jars, and potions. Those jars were expensive and all but their worth couldn't even sum to a single potion! Secondly, it was currently snowing and visibility wasn't too good.

Getting separate from the others might actually lead you to some bandits ambush or some hungry prey.

Not to mention that it would be soon night time and everyone was dead tired especially that beasts responsible for pulling the carts. Soon, the people upfront pitched up their tents and tasked their slaves to make a bonfire. As for Adam and Christian's group, they didn't make their own fire and instead couped up with others.

The sound of roasting could be heard all around the caravan's area and the smell of food wafted through everyone's noses.

But out of a sudden, a loud howl replaced the previously lively atmosphere. Everyone became dead silent and only everyone's pant breathing was heard. Clearly, fear has already filled everyone's hearts as soon after howls one after another erupted signifying its numbers.

While others abandoned everything they were doing and unsheathed their weapons, Christian was currently on a shopping spree. Noticing a lot of "uncared" things, he just pocketed one after another as he sold them to the shop which gave him quite a few points.

After all, why would he be afraid? He should be happy instead as he cherished this once in a lifetime all-you-can-get promo. As for those howling sounds, he already knew where they came from. If not Alpha's pack who could it be as according to his memories this was one of the hunting grounds which he had hunted at before.

Well even if they weren't Alpha's pack, he could just earn a few more experiences from it.
