Chapter 177: 177 – The Wooden Box

I sent Ciel to scout the carriage accompanied by those few people. When the scout bees entered the vehicle, I found a wooden box half an adult's length and width, less than half a meter high.

"Why do we have to send something like this?" One of the carriage guards complained.

The other guard grumbled, "I've told you many times. You don't have to question that anymore. You still want to work, right, new kid? So, shut up."

Suddenly the box shook, and I ordered Ciel to circle it. The scout bee found several finger-sized holes in the box. Ciel couldn't enter it and just peek from the outside. However, all I could see in my pond was darkness.

"Interesting." I hissed, continuing to stare at my magic pond. I doubt it contains drugs. Maybe it contained forbidden animals or something the city guards weren't allowed to see.

"Forbidden animal?" Anja asked. "What kind of animal do you mean, sir?"

I shrugged. "We will see later."
