"How are things?"
On the other side, the people from Divine Arcana Academy had also mostly familiarized themselves with the surroundings and begun discussing their next steps.
"I made a round of reconnaissance." A tall, slender scout leaped out of the sea, brushed the frost from his body, removed his equipment, and hurriedly sat down by the fire. He took out a bottle of ointment and rubbed it into his delicate, fair hands.
The scout profession was different from that of warriors. Its training was more meticulous, especially when it came to the hands. They had to maintain a keen sense of touch, unlike warriors, who trained until their hands were covered in thick calluses.
If Grandpa Lu were here, he would definitely find this tall scout extremely familiar, because his appearance was very similar to that of the exceptionally skilled scout who had once accompanied Ba Lie's team.
"Just as I guessed before, the density of teams in the surrounding area is very high. There's practically a School Team every ten kilometers or less. Most of the School Teams have been concentrated in this location. If my guess is right, most of the clues may be here as well!"
The scout's attitude was very respectful, but not servile. He was just like the scout who had previously stayed beside Ba Lie, seemingly not someone who was bullied.
"Excellent!" The leader was an enormous giant whose entire body shone like dazzling red crystal. Like the other members of the Shen'ao Clan, his emotions were clearly reflected in his body. His color had deepened, and the cruel excitement in his eyes made it obvious that he was very pleased with this answer.
This person was none other than the current heir to the throne of the Divine Arcana Clan: Beksas O'en!
