Chapter 78

Ramiel opened his transfer gate toward Loki's room as they entered, Loki immediately made sure the door was locked from the inside knowing her sister's personality, she will just barge in again unannounced,

Ramiel reverted back to his normal clothing, and casually walked toward the chair that was facing the only table inside the room, Loki started to discuss all the detail, and the gathered intel he personally looked into, on who might be the culprits, Ramiel explained that assumptions are just assumptions they can't just point fingers at anybody without sufficient Evidence,

Considering all the information was still lacking, he didn't want to lose any more time in this very crucial moment when Alpha suggest using her shadows to track the young girl's whereabouts she just need a piece of her used clothing,

Ramiel agreed to Alpha's suggestion and told Loki to obtain any used garment of the Earl's niece, so he remembers that a few months ago Earl Reeve Gallien visited him with his niece that wanted to buy a rare metal ore that Loki luckily have in his storage, she accidentally left a scarf,

"I think! I still have that same scarf in my desk drawer!"

"that is the only lead we can use, so Alpha I trust this matter to you!"

"Gehenna wolves are known for being great hunters, so let's start the hunt!"

after an hour, the wagon that came from Omael Drorkanel's warehouse was finally at the dump site as a newly dug hole was waiting for them, it has a size of 5 meters wide and 2 meters deep, located at the very end of the waste facility, the hired personnel were done throwing the crates in one move by lifting the wagon and let gravity do all the work,

as they were preparing to use a highly combustible scroll spell when another group of people came with the same looking wagon filled with old office equipment the three people were recognizable, and the chances that this particular group of people would choose the same garbage pit were uncanny,

Odell was already throwing all the waste on the pit, while Cathetel was still selecting usable items when Taeriel was leaning on the wagon looking tired as she openly conveys her feelings toward her brother's lack of involvement in the guilds workload,

Taeriel saw the people on the other side throwing garbage, out of playfulness, she waves at them and screamed the words

"Hello! do you guys need some assistance?"

her curiosity toward their activity made them panic knowing that they might see the dead bodies, so one of them hesitantly engaged with her question acting as if everything was fine, explaining to her that they were ordered to burn their waste because it has some hazardous toxins mixed in the crates that they place on the garbage pit,

when a huge pitch-black 4 foot tall Wolf with red glowing eyes just came out of nowhere and was walking toward them, its mere presence scared them to their very core, and their instinct kicked in overdrive as they saw the beast was not normal and they were just low-level cambion race getting paid to do this particular jobs,

facing this type of monster is one hundred per cent fatal, even before Taeriel could even say anything to the 3 cambion workers, they just ran without looking back and left their task unfinished fearing for their life.

she wondered why they ran, and when she noticed the creature that made them run like that, Taeriel walked backwards and told Cathetel and Odell what was on the other side of the garbage pit, when it howl loudly and just left without doing anything,

"I think it's searching for something, but wasn't able to find what it was looking for!"

"how can anything get located in this waste site, the fumes alone can be a deterrent!"

"most monsters get irritated with the smell, because of all the mixed factory residue like colour dye and other toxins in this place."

"We need to finish our task immediately, huh? did you hear that?"

"Someone is calling for help!"

Odell was standing near the pit hole while still holding a small box filled with old material, and told Taeriel she might have been hearing things, this area of the city is very daunting and some even said this place has phantoms roaming around searching for its body,

but she was sure about hearing it, so without thinking she just walk around the garbage pit while placing her two hands behind her ear to amplify any sounds that could be heard, and she was almost at the other side of the hole, where those unknown workers had left the other wagon.

she was a few feet from the other wagon when she saw somebody crawl out of the pit, Taeriel scream a shouted "phantom!"

Cathetel rush towards her holding a piece of wood that was once a leg of a table, while Odell just drops the box he was holding and ran with his stumpy little legs, Gnomes are great fabricators and illusionist but hoping to get proper fast safeguarding will be hard to accomplish,

Odell pulls out a homemade device from his pocket and turns it on. It was a handheld searchlight, and he pointed it towards Taeriel and Cathetel. another person was suddenly visible in the area where Taeriel was standing and where Cathetel was heading, her fear of the unknown was now heightened and became anxious She ran toward the person ascending the garbage hole.

the moment Taeriel personally confirmed the identity of the person it was a young female girl who was naked and covered with wounds and was seen bleeding from her private part, this made Taeriel emotional and called out to Cathetel to help her heal her wounds immediately, Odell saw what was happening and tells them to place the girl on the abandoned wagon, Cathetel could only apply some medicinal plant ointment to stop any infection but the wounds of her body was severely damaged.

Odell removes his overcoat, wraps the naked girl and gently moves her onto the top of the wagon, and asked Cathetel to use her earth location spell if there are other people roaming the area,

"Why do you want me to use it?"

"Remember those hired workers that ran away, there is a big chance that they knew what they were throwing away were dead bodies!"

"huh! what do you mean dead bodies?"

Odell pointed at the location where the girl came from, and to her shock, she saw many dead females bodies inside the opened crates, she nearly vomited but was able to hold it in thinking this was something that she needs to overcome, she move in from of the wagon and positioned her self to pull it while Cathetel and Odell pushed from behind,

" Cathetel, if you spot any unusual ground movement we shall consider it as a person, the situation we are in must never be discovered,

"Whoever killed those people will surely finish their job, wait! you two go ahead without me I need to do something to secure this girl and our safety,"

Odell ran back toward the garbage pit and moved their similar-looking wagon toward the spot where they found the girl, he used all of his remaining strength to single-handedly pull the wagon and was sure to wipe the ground soil markings with a tree branch, as well as wiping the other tracks of the wagon they used to carry the wounded girl,

Odell even doubled check everything that he has done so far and even walked backwards as he sweep the foot marks he made until he was far enough and reach the stone floor of the city limits and hurriedly turned around and ran back toward the guild Office, hoping that they were able to reach one of the 4 guild compound storage places,
