Forger looked at them with a sharp gaze. "We have to find them before the Huk Rongas do. They are innocent children, and we must not let them fall into the wrong hands."
Kagura, who was always ready for action, smiled lightly. "We're ready to move, Forger. Where do you want us to go?"
Forger thought for a moment before giving instructions. "You two, look for more information in the Crowd village. Kai Kurenai and Taro, the rescued child, are likely there. Meanwhile, I will find a way to contact Kai."
Receiving this order, Jun Tia and Kagura immediately left the room, leaving Coren who was loyal to guard his position.
Back in the wide grassland, Kai and Taro continued to walk carefully. They knew that this journey was fraught with danger, but they had no choice but to move forward.
"Kai, there's someone ahead!" Taro exclaimed suddenly, pointing towards a group of trees growing in the distance.
Kai frowned, trying to see more clearly under the dim light of the moon. Indeed, there was a figure walking towards them with steady steps.
The two of them stepped forward carefully, ready to face anyone they encountered in the middle of this dark night. However, as the figure got closer, they realized that it was not a threat, but someone who seemed to be looking for something.
"Hey, what are you guys doing here at this time of night?" asked the figure in a soft voice when they met under the shade of a tree.
Kai looked at the person suspiciously, but he felt there was kindness in his voice. "We're looking for a safe place to rest," he answered simply.
That person smiled gently, his youthful face bright under the moonlight. "I can help. I live nearby, and I know a safe place where you guys can take refuge for a while. Follow me."
Carefully, Kai and Taro followed the stranger in the direction they indicated. They didn't fully believe it, but amidst the darkness that enveloped them, they had to rely on this stranger for help for a while.
Meanwhile, in the capital, Forger Consil sat at his work desk, staring at the map in front of him with focused thoughts. He needs to find a way to contact Kai Kurenai, a child who has shown rare courage in this harsh world.
"Kai, where are you now?" Forger muttered to himself, hoping that this message would reach the right ears.
