章 106: [Bonus chapter] Another misunderstanding

Upon hearing this news, Loran was astounded and thought helplessly as he slumped into his chair. 

'Who did that idiot offend? What could he have done so foolishly to enrage a high rank that he personally intervened and wiped out an entire region? He was just about to complete his research, and now everything is lost? '

With hope in his voice, Loran asked the man. ''Are you certain there is nothing left?''

He hoped that something remained from Herman's research. Even though he knew it was impossible, he refused to believe that everything had been destroyed. 

''I doubt anything was left behind. Only a few slum dwellers were near, but they were ordinary people. We also observed the presence of another item holder of low rank nearby. We were going to look into whether he had any knowledge of the incident, but our superiors told us to stop. Due to the involvement of a high-rank item holder, they didn't want us to look into the matter further. ''
