章節 413: A Move Higher

Selma Payne's POV:

There was no doubt that Kafka was a cunning and powerful wizard. I could find his traces from his magic fluctuations, so he would have taken precautions against such an apparent loophole. One of us was searching while the other was hiding. We had inexplicably fallen into a strange balance.

However, I didn't have much time to waste.

Just as we were in a stalemate, I suddenly heard my companions' shouts not far away. Eve and the others had come!

"Your Highness, what's the situation? Are we too late?" Eve shouted from a distance.

"You're not late. You've come at the right time!" I replied to them. At the same time, a plan slowly formed in my mind.

The open space in front of the north gate was very wide. There were countless plants in addition to the craggy rocks and cliffs. I didn't know how long it would take for me to play hide-and-seek with Kafka aimlessly.
