"Do you find anything about him, Rene?" Elonia asked the manager. She and Rene stayed after Tang Shaoyang left the room.
"Nothing. I can't find anything about him. He does not have a friend from the participants, he does not have a party or even try to form a party, and no one knows his faction."
"He does not have a participant friend? Does that mean…."
"I am not sure either, but he was quite close to Ira. Not just Ira, but also the owner of Scorching Tavern. The tavern was the place he visited often in the last two days, and he often talked with the owner. And I think he was telling the truth when he said it was Manoe who told him about the map. There are only five places he visited, his lodging, our store, Duvrag Smithy, Scorching Bar, and Manoe's Exotic as well as many alchemist shops."
Elonia raised her eyebrow, "Alchemist Shops? Is he also an alchemy?"
