" John, we have received a request from my son to assist the person named Jin. However, he didn't tell any other details about this man, find this man and tell me what's so special about him." An old man with Grey hair and dark blue eyes spoke, the person he was giving orders to was a knight in full-bodied silver armor.
" I will do that My lord, but there is something else that I have come to inform," John spoke and then added, " Master Edith is here, he has come here to request help from you."
" ...What could be the reason for his sudden visit?" The Duke got up from his chair and then said, " Lead me to where he is!"
John did as the duke said and led him out of the office into one of the meeting rooms. From his expression, the Duke looked in a hurry and didn't want to make the other person wait for too long.
Once they reached the meeting place they saw a man in his forties. The man had blonde hair and a well-trained body of a soldier, the man at first glance looked normal. However, his body on the right side was a little different from normal humans. From his neck to his legs his entire body was made of wood, even though he wore full-body clothes to hide that, it was still visible in some places.
" Master Edith, I have come." The Duke spoke as he entered the meeting place.
" Duke Alec, Can we please have a seat? It seems I require your assistance regarding a certain matter." Edith spoke.
" Yes...What is it? I am ready to help the master." Duke asked.
" My Daughter has been kidnapped, An unknown man left a note warning me about the incident. I have checked and found that it is indeed the truth."
" Who would dare to do such a thing?" The duke asked.
" According to the note, It's Shiloh Natalis, I think it makes sense why she wants to hurt her. I want you to convince her to not do anything to my daughter and let her go safely otherwise, I'd have to call for help from somewhere else..." Edith spoke.
" Dame Natalis is an honorable person, I can't believe she did such a thing. If it's her then she would not harm your daughter, she is an enemy of the Wolf slayer so maybe that's why your daughter was abducted by her, but I will be able to convince her to let go of your daughter." The Duke spoke.
" I hope you do that...My mana is running out so I may no longer be able to maintain this form. I want you to convince her by tomorrow." As he spoke this, his body started to turn into green light particles and only one plant seed was left behind.
" Why does it have to be Shiloh and her revenge?" The duke sighed as grabs his head. " John–"
" Yes my lord, I will go talk to her," John spoke and quickly moved out leaving the Duke alone.
" Now, who would search for this man named Jin?" Duke thought however suddenly he heard footsteps.
" Father!" A young Girl with grey hair and blue eyes Ran towards him. She was wearing a dark blue robe over a white gown.
" Jenny, what are you doing here?" He asked.
" I heard you were contacted by a brother, why didn't you call for me? I wanted to talk with my brother." She spoke angrily.
" ...It's not like that, he suddenly called to request something. It was him who didn't talk to you, I would have called you if he had more time." The Duke replied.
" A request...what did big brother request?" She asked.
" He requested me to help a man named Jin, but he didn't have any other information about him apart from his name." The Duke answered.
" ...If brother had requested it, then I suppose I will help." She smiled and spoke, " It can be that he remembered his promise and finally found someone."
*****
In front of the Wolf Slayer Guild, a huge crowd was gathered as they had all witnessed what had occurred this morning. Iris was a well-known person around this part of the town and many had witnessed her being kidnapped, however, they were unable to do anything to save her.
They wondered if a fight was going to occur, the guards of the Luxor town had already surrounded the guild in case a fight breaks out. After a few hours, Dave returned to the guild and saw everything.
The guards interrogated him, and Dave told him why this was happening. He was warned to not incite a fight that may cause inconvenience for other people. They had even asked if Dave required protection, but he simply denied thier offer and instead requested the guards to go and free Iris from Shiloh. They assured Dave that they would take the necessary actions and safely bring her back.
After the Guards left Dave went to the 3rd floor where he had been keeping the spies hidden for interrogation purposes. There was a total of three of them, fortunately, he had only planned to kill them after he got some useful information.
He talked with them to contact thier master and tried to negotiate with her but she didn't even try to listen to him.
' I need to contact Oscar.' He thought and went to his office. Most of the time the communicator was only used by Iris, so to contact Oscar he needed it. He needed to ask Dave what should he do so that he could save Iris. The only person he could rely on at the moment was Oscar who was the cause of everything.
The communicators in this worked differently. They are a pair of magical tools so only the people having the communicator from a common pair can talk. Under her Desk, there were several of them.
Fortunately, he had [Appraisal] to find out which communicator will connect him with Oscar, He activated it and after sometime later someone responded.
