BXBX NOVEL Chapter 171 Gold
"Hey, what's wrong with it?" Isabel shook Arthur's hand.
The latter rolled his eyes, unsure how to respond to this woman's request.
"Don't think too long," she said again.
Forced continuously, Arthur could only sigh.
"Okay, okay!" He finally nodded and then stood up.
Isabel, who had been acting as if she were innocent all along, suddenly laughed when she saw his expression. It was clear that she was doing it on purpose.
However, she did not try to cancel her intention.
She stood up, using Arthur's hand as a support.
After that, she placed each of her hands on his shoulders from behind before sticking her body to his back.
Although she was wearing a thick leather jacket, Arthur could still feel something soft pressing on his back, although it was somewhat vague.
The woman then advanced her face slightly so that it arrived at the side of his cheek. She said, "it seems like something's wrong with you, why are you a little awkward?"
She may have been asking him, but her expression was as if she was mocking him.
Arthur chose not to respond, he grabbed each of her thighs which were now moving up onto his legs.
Then, he jumped onto a tree branch.
He left the Five Eternal Cave Mushroom atop the cave, letting his harpies take them later.
On the other hand, Nova followed behind Arthur.
Seeing Isabel now hanging on Arthur's back, she couldn't help but show a weird expression, wondering if there was something wrong with their actions.
Fortunately, it was a short journey because the location they were heading to was really close. There wasn't even a conversation between them.
Quite surprisingly, behind the row of very dense trees, there was a small wooden house, which even had its own electricity because from the window, a few lights could be seen.
That there was a house in the middle of this forest really made Arthur and the other two wonder.
Isabel, who had just gotten off Arthur's back, narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to take a closer look at the house.
"Who lives in a place like this?" She seemed to be speculating.
"Look over there!" Arthur said, pointing to the roof of the house.
Because it was dark, almost nothing was visible, but with their spiritual creature's eyes, Arthur and the others vaguely saw a small red light.
"It's a drone," Nova said in surprise.
After saying that, she heightened her sense of smell without realizing that Arthur was beside her.
Once again, her face turned red while her breath became warm.
Her body trembled and she almost fell.
"I-I..." She murmured.
Although this time she quickly deactivated her sense of smell, the effect lasted longer.
She began to feel uncomfortable so she wanted to go to the bathroom and do something to calm herself down.
"Did you smell something in that house?" Arthur asked. There was no change in his expression as he looked at Nova's body's chaos.
The woman reluctantly answered, "I-i'm sure there's a lot of gold under that house, a lot of it."
"What, gold?" Isabel looked at Nova with a surprised expression.
It wasn't the gold that made her really shocked, but because Nova said it was a lot.
"Let me investigate first, if it's safe, you can come in too," Arthur said.
Isabel nodded in response.
Then, Arthur looked at Nova and asked again. "How many people are in that house?"
"Only one, a man," Nova replied, pursing her lips, something she did because she was holding something in her body.
After hearing that, Arthur jumped and then his body turned into a shadow in the air, a sight that amazed Isabel and Nova.
The latter asked, "How much magic does he possess?"
Of course, Arthur, who had given Isla the shadow mantra, also mastered it. This was something he really liked because moving in shadow form was really comfortable.
Slowly, he approached the house while observing his surroundings.
For safety, he intentionally reduced the size of his shadow form to look like a mouse shadow.
And as he suspected, there were quite a lot of CCTV cameras.
Perhaps in this dark area, those cameras could see clearly.
However, even so, his small shadow form would be difficult to track. If those who were monitoring thought that it was a bird flying in the air or a mouse walking around, they might not realize that it was him. Coincidentally, there were some mice around.
Arthur went to the window of the house and then climbed onto the window glass.
From there, he could see into the living room of the house.
There was a sofa there, and on it was a man in his 30s lying down.
He looked like an average European man except that he had the aura of a skilled warrior.
When he saw the man, Arthur was quickly interested because he was an Evolver and was holding a long blade of grass.
At first glance, there was nothing different about the grass compared to ordinary grass.
However, every spiritual creature could sense that it was unique.
The man clearly knew it too because he was an Evolver.
'It looks like there's really no one else except him,' thought Arthur as he considered a plan.
Even in the living room, there were several CCTV cameras. He knew he couldn't just go in like that. When he turned back into his human form to capture the Evolver, there was a possibility that help would arrive from elsewhere. And what if there was a squad with full weapons. That would make him in trouble.
'It's better to lure him out...' It didn't take him long to think of a good plan.
Then, he returned to where Isabel and Nova were.
"What did you see?" asked Isabel.
Arthur calmly explained everything he saw, including his plan to the woman.
Hearing that, she made no comment, only gave a nod of approval.
Arthur then looked around before moving again.
