Esheara was not without clues for Duanmu Huai. According to her, not long ago, they had learned that there were signs of cultists operating in Arkanas. Esheara had sent her own people to investigate, but they had yet to return. This was both bad news and good news.
The bad news was that they were likely in grave danger. The good news was that if they had not returned, then it was highly likely that Arkanas had already become a nest of cultists.
So, after asking Esheara for the exact direction, Duanmu Huai immediately set off toward Arkanas.

"You... you savage, uncouth brute!"
At that moment, Stheno and Euryale were on all fours, advancing through the desert with their hands and feet like two adorable toy poodles. Around their necks were things resembling collars, with the other ends clutched in Duanmu Huai's hand... Yes, taking the dogs out for a walk when he had nothing else to do was pretty nice, wasn't it?
"Huh? This is called education. Education, understand?"
In response to Stheno's furious complaint, Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at her disdainfully.
"I'm teaching you the proper relationship between master and servant, so walk nicely."
That was right. The reason things had turned out this way
