Since Li Yu was unable to split himself in two, Tom volunteered to lead a rescue mission for the little maid.
Having been a mercenary before, he had visited many towns, including those to the southeast, and thanks to his humorous and witty way of speaking, he had made quite a few friends.
In addition to the five hundred gold coins given by Li Yu for travel and expenses, as well as a Three-eyed Divine Bird with its accompanying nest (solar charging panel), Tom was confident that he could bring the person back.
He selected a ten-man elite squad from the Black Dog Guards.
Before setting off, Li Yu had a private talk with him lasting roughly half an hour, after which Tom hastily left Green Field and embarked on the journey to find Clara.
As Tom put it, if they couldn't even save the little maid, then there was no need for any of them to return.
Although Li Yu was somewhat worried about Clara, there was only so much he could do at the moment.
