Silver's Secret

Linsey had not slept all night.

This was not merely because he had gotten an earful from Sweet Biscuits.

He also harbored considerable misgivings about the Silver Witch's abilities.

Just as merchants drew their abilities from money, and would fall into dire straits once they spent all their currency.

An Organizer's abilities came from the humans under her rule.

If they had no subordinates, or lost vast amounts of territory, they could easily be defeated by other Awakened and fall from the mountaintop into the valley below.

But as long as they had people under their command.

Such Awakened could continuously unleash tremendous power, to say nothing of Ye Haiya, who was a Seventh Stage Awakened.

At this very moment, Linsey was inside the city of this Silver Witch.

If she used an Organizer's abilities on him.

Any mind-reading ability, or even the ability to study behavioral patterns, would likely tear apart Linsey's previous disguise in an instant.

So why had Ye Haiya not done so?

Linsey did not doubt her strength.

Was this exception born from caution toward rare talent, because she did not wish to restrict his future development through the dominion of her abilities? Or did she simply not want Linsey to be forced into submission, hoping instead that he would willingly join her?

No matter how he thought about it.

It could not possibly be because he had called her Sister, could it?

As Linsey pondered, he unfolded the Strategic Map and scanned back and forth through the castle.

Aside from the secret chamber storing supplies that he had discovered earlier.

Over the course of less than half a day, he successively found several more hidden rooms like it.

There were quite a few such places, and some cellars were even concealed beneath the floors.
