Dungeon King: A Lady Knight Offered by My Goblins
Chapter 467 Chapter465-The Enigmatic Assembly
The Prophet Magus ultimately decided to stay at the inn, having promised to help the innkeeper resolve her troubles.
However, he didn't uncover any useful clues on the first day.
"To assist you in addressing the dire situation in your inn, I'll stay here for a week. I believe that within this period, we will undoubtedly succeed in resolving all the issues."
The Prophet Magus's decision to remain brought a sense of relief and happiness to the innkeeper.
In her eyes, with the Prophet Magus's assistance, there was much less to worry about.
"That would be wonderful," the innkeeper replied with visible relief.
"Which room would you like to stay in? We have many vacancies on each floor, so feel free to choose one you like."
At this moment, the Prophet Magus turned his gaze directly to Ethan and asked, "May I inquire which floor your room is on? I believe that going forward, it's imperative for us to collaborate. Hence, I'd like to stay on the same floor as you, so that we can easily discuss any clues I might find."
Ethan hesitated slightly in response to the Prophet Magus's request.
Even now, he was unsure whether the Prophet Magus was an ally or a foe.
Although the Prophet Magus had not treated him as a stranger and had indeed provided him with information that other guests were unaware of, there was still a possibility that these actions were a deliberate ploy to gain Ethan's trust.
As Ethan hesitated, the innkeeper quickly resolved the matter. "I think it's a great idea. He's staying on the fourth floor, and there are plenty of vacant rooms there."
With the innkeeper's input, Ethan found himself without much room to object.
Consequently, the Prophet Magus settled into a room on the fourth floor and expressed a keen desire to have a thorough conversation with Ethan.
The two of them engaged in a lengthy discussion, although most of it involved the Prophet Magus inquiring about Ethan's past experiences.
It became apparent that the Prophet Magus had already glimpsed into Ethan's past through the River of Destiny.
Their upcoming collaboration with the Prophet Magus would need to be approached with caution.
The Prophet Magus could potentially target them, and even if he bore no ill will, his mere presence and abilities posed a significant risk.
The exchange between Ethan and the Shadow Elf underscored the delicacy of their situation.
As they navigated the murky waters of collaboration with the Prophet Magus, the need for vigilance and strategic thinking was paramount.
"Apart from these two, the other guests in the inn are also quite peculiar. Do you remember the person we encountered on our first day here, the one shrouded in a black robe? He hasn't shown himself at all today. Don't you wonder where he might be? I suspect he might have been hiding in the shadows all along, possibly planning something against us."
"While we're having this conversation, he might even be eavesdropping. I haven't been able to discern his strength, and I believe that the robe he wears is harboring even greater secrets."
Upon Ethan's mention of the mysterious figure in black they encountered initially, the Shadow Elf seemed to recall something significant.
He quickly alerted Ethan, "That person possesses a very powerful Power of Shadow. I also sensed that he might have received considerable strength from the Shadow Clan's Valhalla. It's possible that he could be a former member of the Shadow Clan. What puzzles me, though, is why a member of the Shadow Clan would come to this place. The Shadow Clan has always been known to fear the Glacial Peaks."
"Members of the Shadow Clan have always believed that the Glacial Peaks are hostile to the Power of Shadow, so they dare not venture here. Even Dart, who is often considered reckless, wouldn't dare to come to this place."
Upon hearing the Shadow Elf mention Dart, a realization suddenly struck Ethan.
He had been overlooking the fact that Dart hadn't betrayed the Shadow Clan alone; there were other accomplices.
Could it be that the mysterious figure in black was one of Dart's associates?
If that were the case, everything would start to make sense, including the black-robed individual's behavior upon encountering Ethan.
This thought left Ethan feeling that the situation he was facing was becoming increasingly dire.
He hadn't anticipated facing threats linked to Dart upon arriving at the foot of the Glacial Peaks.
"I really feel quite helpless," Ethan lamented.
"Dart chose to be my enemy on his own accord. If he hadn't, none of this would have happened. I never wanted to be in opposition to Dart. I didn't expect that coming here would mean facing threats related to him. If Dart is still alive, he will surely pursue me to this place. It seems that Dart's associates are likely seeking revenge on his behalf. We must be more cautious in our next moves; it's very possible that the enemies we've encountered before have now joined forces."
Ethan's reminder brought a sense of increased pressure to the Shadow Elf.
They realized that they might face even more crises before the blizzard subsides.
