Chapter 1548 A Meeting With Gnomes


    Southern Continent.


    Reynolds got to meet up with the duo after a few days. The reason he took so long was due to the duo always being on the move. ording to them, they were on the verge of uncovering a secret about the Gnomes, so they could wait for him and just directed him to the ce they were headed.


    In a forest.


    Grey and us could be seen hiding in the trees, Reynolds on the other hand was standing on the ground, subtly murmuring about being used as bait.


    "us has always been a better bait." He continuedining under his voice.


    He was standing on the path that was in the forest. Before long, a carriage was seening his way. He heaved a sigh as he looked at the carriage.


    He was currently at the side of the path, seeing the carriage approach, he raised his hand, hoping to stop it.


    "Please, can you assist me to the next town?" He asked as soon as the carriage stopped.


    The coachman was a Peak Venerable, he looked at Reynolds in disgust and said coldly, "Get away from here. I don''t have the time to entertain the likes of you."


    "Please, I don''t mind riding at the top, I have an intense injury that will make traveling out of here on my own impossible. I''ve been here for a few days." us begged.


    The man was about to use the whip on Reynolds when a delicate voice came from inside the carriage.


    "Just take him along, he might be useful."


    When the coachman heard the word useful, a look of realization appeared on his face as he replied, "Yes, Mdy."


    "Thank you." Reynolds bowed in the direction of the carriage and went to sit with the coachman. He didn''t try to go to the carriage which the coachman nodded in approval to.


    "Interesting,e inside, he doesn''t needpany, but I do. Staying here alone for long rides is always boring."


    The soft voice said once again, inviting Reynolds into the ce.


    Reynolds looked at the coachman, as if asking for permission. The coachman nodded and Reynolds came down, heading into the carriage.


    When he opened the carriage door, he saw a fair hand by the door.


    "Come in, I don''t bite." There was a little hint of amusement in the soft voice.


    Reynolds knew the person inside was ady after hearing the coachman refer to her as Mdy.


    Reynolds entered and was greeted with the scene of a middle-ageddy, beautiful yet very mature. She had a different kind of beauty that stunned Reynolds. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    He bowed slightly before sitting opposite thedy.


    Thedy licked her lips and said, "I''m curious as to what injured you. Can you indulge me?"


    Reynolds thought about it and spoke about his battle with a ferocious Wolf. His aura was reduced to that of a Second stage Venerable. Thedy sitting before him was at the Peak of the Venerable ne.


    "I see, such a dangerous situation. Didn''t you take any healing tonics with you?" Thedy asked.


    Reynolds shook his head and scratched his chin awkwardly as he exined the reason he didn''t, which he found a bit embarrassing.


    The carriage continued on its path, while Grey and us followed behind from above.


    "He''s good at this, are you sure he hasn''t done something like this when we weren''t together?" us couldn''t help but speak up about Reynolds'' acting.


    "He might''ve been taking acting lessons, besides, you do things like these on a frequent basis." Grey replied as they followed the carriage.


    "Why don''t we just intercept them and force them to tell us the location?" us didn''t understand the reason behind Grey wanting them to take such a route.


    "Simple, from what I found out, they''ll die if they try to divulge this information to anyone else…" Grey exined.


    He didn''t understand this and wanted to get behind thedy''s identity. She looked to be from a respectable Family, well, at least that''s what the carriage showed. He didn''t know if she was or not.


    He used the man to gather information from the previous hideout they destroyed, and ording to the people, only thisdy and the coachman knew of the secret ce to meet with the Gnomes who were having an important meeting. It was said that asionally, these Gnomes would want a human servant to take back to the Gnome world.


    Grey naturally didn''t have any ns of letting these people take Reynolds into the Gnome world. He only nned for this so as to try to see if he could gather any information about the woman. He wasn''t able to get anything from the hideout. It was almost as if the woman was nonexistent and only appears when it''s time to meet with the Gnomes.


    He didn''t understand this and wanted to get behind thedy''s identity. She looked to be from a respectable Family, well, at least that''s what the carriage showed. He didn''t know if she was or not.


    "So the Gnomes still have more secret portals connecting to this region." us frowned.


    "It''s expected. I didn''t expect them to tell the Necromancers about all their portals." Grey didn''t think much about this.


    They''ve found out about a few portals in this region, but this one wasn''t recorded. Since this portal wasn''t known by the Necromancers except for thisdy, it meant that thisdy had a closer tie with the Gnomes. Grey wanted to gather as much information as he could before dealing with thedy. He wanted to put her under his control before they got there, but he needed to make sure he knew a few things before doing so.


    us finally understood why Grey opted for this n. But he didn''t think Reynolds would be able to gather enough information about thisdy. And from the looks of it, Grey didn''t want to ruin the chance of finding out about thedy once he had put her under his control.


    "We should take Reynolds out of there after some time." us said.


    Grey didn''t think much about it, he felt Reynolds would be fine. us was just worried over nothing.
