Both Flora Gates and Dragon Town were stunned by Vincent Wolf’s loud exclamation.

“Vincent, look! It seems there is text on these!”

Flora Gates cried out sharply.

“What? There’s text?”

Vincent Wolf braced himself against an uneasy chill and pinched a piece for closer examination. Indeed, there were inscriptions.

The text seemed quite old, not enough clarity to be readable but faintly discernible.

“Is this… the rumored human skin paper?”

Vincent Wolf laid out all the pieces of skin he had pulled from the cave, arranging them neatly.

“Oh my God! It really seems like it!”

The hide in front of him had clearly undergone some special processing. Each piece was similar in size to a standard piece of paper, with a plethora of tiny characters on the surface.

The leather was slightly brown and felt soft to the touch as if there was an uncanny slickness and chill associated with it, causing goosebumps to erupt on Vincent’s skin.

“Why would there be something like this in the nest of the Shadow Puppet?” Vincent Wolf was utterly perplexed.

Given that one can’t easily obtain such a thing, how on earth did it end up in the nest of the Demon Beasts?

“Could it be that after the Shadow Puppet killed an Evil Beast Master, it brought his possessions back home? But that can’t be right; Evil Beast Masters are allies with Demon Beasts, why would they fight?”

“There’s nothing strange about that. Even Demon Beasts kill each other, let alone dealing with Evil Beast Masters,” interjected Dragon Town.

“True. ”

Vincent Wolf nodded and picked up the human skin paper from the ground to scrutinize the text thereupon, hoping to find some clues.

“Uh… kill… demon… master…”

Vincent Wolf struggled to decipher the words and managed to discern that the text seemed to be a letter from one Evil Beast Master to another, discussing a murder plot.

After browsing through the other pieces of human skin paper, Vincent Wolf discovered that the content paralleled the first piece but with an extra bit of information revealed.

“Turns out, this Shadow Puppet was much like a carrier pigeon for these Evil Beast Masters, designated for delivering crucial intelligence.”

“So, was this Shadow Puppet not native here, but bred by the Evil Beast Master?”

“Not necessarily, perhaps it was indigenous but got tamed by the Evil Beast Master afterward, tasked to carry out the job of a carrier pigeon.”

While thinking, a Flash of Insight struck Vincent Wolf, making him realize why his father had been attacked.

“Maybe, my father was targeted by the Evil Beast Master for his interaction with the Shadow Puppet, who might’ve thought my father had discovered the identity of the Shadow Puppet, and thus, ordered my father’s assassination.”

After figuring this out, Vincent Wolf thought the death of the Shadow Puppet served it right. It was the key factor leading to his father’s demise!

It wasn’t just guiltless; Vincent Wolf felt its death was too easy and should have been punished multiple times over.

Luckily, its corpse was still around, and he could vent his anger on it during the holidays.

Vincent Wolf scoured the cave once more, only exiting reluctantly after ensuring there was nothing apart from these items. Then, he went to find Aiden Winter.

Upon reaching Aiden, he asked,

“What took you so long, did you not find anything?”

“I did find something; I’ve managed to kill the beast too, but there was a slight complication. ”

Vincent Wolf recounted finding the human skin paper in the cave and his speculations about his father’s death. After hearing this, Aiden Winter said,

“Is that so? Let me see those.”

Vincent handed over the human skin papers to Aiden Winter, who studied them for a long time.

“Your theory might just be correct! The Shadow Puppet is indeed the courier of the Evil Beast Master. The events detailed on this paper corroborate an incident from a few years back, adding credibility to your suspicion.”Foolloow 𝒏ew stories at n𝒐/v(e)lbin(.)com

Then, Aiden Winter laughed and continued,

“However, even if the Shadow Puppet was alive, it would be of no use now. The environment of the Mysterious Realm is now awakened and no longer nosp1taD1e ror Demon Beasts; It Will graaua11Y nurture new llgnt-type creatures. The Evil Beast Masters will have to find new breeding grounds.”

“Indeed. ”

Vincent Wolf agreed with a nod, but then he suddenly asked another question,

“Grandpa Winter, I’m planning a trip to the Archipelago Alliance, can you advise me on how to get there?”

The sudden query caused Aiden Winter to pause. After pondering for half a minute, he replied,

“What are you doing going to that place?”

“I surely have things to take care of! To tell you the truth, I intend to investigate the Evil Beast Master connected to my father’s death.”

After hearing Vincent’s words, Aiden Winter fell into thought again before saying,

“If it was some time ago, I wouldn’t have stopped you, but now…” Seeing Aiden Winter’s hesitation, Vincent asked curiously,

“Grandpa Winter, what’s the matter? How is the situation now any different from before?”

Aiden Winter sighed and said to Vincent,

“You’re correct. In a short while, it will be the Archipelago Alliance’s terrifying bi-decadal event, the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade!”

“Hundred Ghosts Night Parade? What’s that? It sounds rather unnerving.” Upon hearing this unfamiliar term, Vincent Wolf furrowed his brows.

Aiden Winter seriously said to Vincent,

“It’s more than just unnerving. When you experience it, you’ll find it hundreds or even thousands of times more terrifying!”

“The Archipelago Alliance is in a very bad geographical location; it’s closest to the Abyssal Demon Realm, making it the country most affected by the Abyss..”
