章節 280: Chapter 280: Teamwork

We were almost to the park when Galleytrot let out a yelp of surprise.

"Sassafras." He bounded off at full speed, leaving me to slide over the veil in pursuit, a desperate hope in my heart.

I caught up with him at the edge of town, near the site where Suzanne had been taken over by the Firblog magician, Cesard and his collection of occupiers. "You can feel him?"

"Smell him." Galleytrot snuffled the air noisily, anger in his tone. "He was close, Syd. He was here." The big dog snarled and spun. "This way!"

He was off again like a shot, covering ground so fast I had no choice but to use my demon magic to ride the veil. I ducked in and out for what seemed like forever, finally emerging in a rush, almost running into him as I flung myself from the edge, looking around for danger. A lake of shining water stretched out before us, sunlight sparkling from the calm surface.
