Sam begins to search for Lily. He can tell that Lily leaves those traces so that he can easily find her. But Lily overlooked one thing: that the place is full of various artifacts.
There is some artefact present in that mention which already begins to erase the clue also there is some artefact which created an invisible barrier in front of him.
Facing all this, Sam became very worried about Lily's safety. Even though she is powerful and both the targets did not have the ability to harm her, Sam still did not want to take any chances.
'I quickly needed to find the device that prevented me from locating Lily. I can definitely tell that the devices near me and this is the reason the power of the device became that much powerful.'
Sam thought that and began to search around him. There is some kind of artifact which affects his observation technique. This is the reason that he wanted to find that artifact.
