Fors closed her eyes in anguish.
Backlund had tightened its controls, and all Beyonder gatherings had been uniformly suspended. For these wild, low-level Beyonders, the impact was undoubtedly devastating.
As one of those low-level Beyonders, Fors inevitably felt pained by this as well.
Meanwhile, the Vampire Emlyn was full of confusion.
Having lived regularly lately, he had spent a long time volunteering at the Church of the Earth Mother and had not felt Backlund's tense atmosphere.

"Before holding the Sacrifice Ritual, it would be best to confirm that the Chief leading the Exploration Team this time is not in the City of Silver, or is occupied with something else."

After pondering for a moment, Alger reassured Derrick:
"Even if he noticed it, your Chief probably would not expose you directly.
"He would only secretly monitor you as before."
