The night breeze whistled over Horlaika's long hair.
Compared to the time taken by the convoy to arrive, Horlaika took twice as less time for he was travelling alone, having arrived back at Edatine Castle a day before.
He did not enter the city through the city gate but through a secret tunnel at the side of the gate.
The secret tunnel did not lead straight inside the castle, leading downwards instead.
It was natural that the secret tunnel belonging to Silent Night Secret Society was heavily guarded.
When Horlaika walked down the stairs…
"Who goes there?!"
A loud shout came from the shadow.
Horlaika did not reply verbally, instead tossing a token into the shadow.
A while later, the token was brought back to him respectfully.
"Please continue on carefully, Sir Undying," said the guard respectfully.
