After Valyr despatched the query to Tryndall via the chat perform, the previous needed to look ahead to a pair minutes earlier than receiving a response again. Although, as soon as he was completed studying via the response Tryndall despatched, he shortly understood why it took him so lengthy.

“If you would like the quick reply to your query, then we have not made a lot headway into discovering out the mastermind’s identification.”

“However in order for you the lengthy reply, one of many suspects we have apprehended the earlier night time swiftly surrendered to us as soon as that suspect discovered what we had been doing. Surprisingly, that suspect advised us that they had been lengthy sick of what they had been doing, and that they wished to get again on the mastermind of the entire operation one way or the other.”

“With that, the suspect that surrendered determined to cooperate with us on determining the mastermind’s identification, telling us about all of the folks they’ve interacted with concerning the entire Clossbay Killer factor.”

Studying via this portion of Tryndall’s message, Valyr felt inclined to assume that luck was lastly on their aspect for as soon as, a lightweight smile unknowingly showing on his face someday later. Noticing that Tryndall was nonetheless within the midst of sending him messages, Valyr took a have a look at them, realizing that they had been a continuation of what was despatched to him earlier.

“For essentially the most half, all the folks that the 5 suspects interacted with concerning the incident, based on what the suspect advised us, is usually folks with low ranges of authority within the metropolis. Thankfully, the suspect recalled a pair folks within the metropolis with center degree authority, which is what we have been contemplating as our most substantial leads into discovering out the true identification of the mastermind.”

“Talking of which, the suspect additionally determined to be our insider concerning the entire Clossbay Killer factor, informing us that the 5 of them would meet up on the next day. I do not know in case your life and dying duel and their assembly is expounded or simply pure coincidence, however I am going to be sure to maintain you up to date on no matter’s taking place.”

Sending a message to Tryndall as soon as he was completed studying to thank the latter for what he was doing, Valyr finally closed the display in his visual field earlier than regularly drifting off to sleep.

‘I’ve obtained a protracted day forward of me.’

…

“Right now’s the day, huh.” Letting out a protracted yawn as he sat upright on his mattress, Valyr stared off into nothingness for a bit, giving his consciousness time to develop into absolutely awake. Someday later, he obtained out of his mattress and did a number of gentle stretches earlier than going via his common morning routine.

Coincidentally, as soon as Valyr was finished together with his common morning routine, Wells had woken up from his slumber, taking some time to develop into absolutely alert as properly earlier than going via his personal morning routine of types. Throughout his routine, Valyr approached him and requested him whether or not he would be capable of man the Crimson Forge on his personal whereas he was partaking within the life and dying duel or not.

Pondering over it for a bit, Wells finally advised Valyr that it might be higher if the Crimson Forge was closed in the present day, contemplating how virtually everybody within the metropolis already knew concerning the life and dying duel that was going to occur later within the day.

With Wells informing Valyr quickly after that subsequent to no prospects would come to the smithy since one thing like that was happening, it was a no brainer for the latter to go along with what Wells advised him, heading to the workshop portion of the smithy to seize the Half Wyvern Armor earlier than chucking items of it right into a backpack he purposefully requested a crafter to make that may be capable of match armor.

Sadly, solely three of the six items making up the set match into the backpack, prompting Valyr to place the remaining items of armor into an analogous bag earlier than telling Wells to deliver the opposite backpack as they made their solution to the venue.

As they headed exterior the smithy, a number of common prospects that may come to the smithy early within the morning appeared in entrance of Valyr and Wells, telling Valyr to prioritize his well being first in the course of the duel and that they had been rooting for him to win the duel. After that, they apologized to Valyr that he was caught up into the mess of the Hekaetos Forging Emporium, to which he advised them that it was regular for fledgling companies to butt heads with massive, established companies.

In fact, not in the best way the Hekaetos Forging Emporium did it.

Waving to the shoppers that went out of their solution to give him their good luck earlier than the duel, the 2 headed to a close-by restaurant to get some meals into their abdomen, with Valyr selecting to get a lightweight breakfast as he considered how a lot he would transfer in the course of the duel later.

Whereas they had been digging into their respective breakfasts, Wells requested Valyr in some unspecified time in the future as to how he might stay so calm, despite the fact that he knew there was an opportunity he would die within the duel. In response to the query, Valyr introduced up the Half Wyvern Armor he had cast earlier than leaving Wells with a sentence that left the person considerably confused.

“Simply so you recognize, this is not the primary time I’ve danced with dying.”

Left to wonder if Valyr was giving him an vital life lesson or was simply giving him a cryptic message for him to decode, the 2 finally completed their breakfasts and left the restaurant to proceed making their solution to the venue.

…

“Right here we’re. The Farraway Coliseum.” Standing a few dozen meters away from what seemed to be a big round constructing made out of huge blocks of chiseled stone, Valyr checked out Wells beside him and requested the latter to offer the backpack with the armor to him.

As Valyr acquired the backpack Wells gave, the 2 seemed across the perimeter of the coliseum for a bit, finally discovering the doorway that led into the within of the coliseum. Unsurprisingly, with how widespread the information of the life and dying duel that was taking place in the present day was, a protracted line to the doorway greeted the 2, prompting Valyr to wonder if the 2 might get into the coliseum first since he was the one partaking within the duel.

Thankfully, his speculation was appropriate because the guard on the entrance of the coliseum swiftly allowed Valyr to enter the coliseum alongside Wells, with one of many guards throughout the coliseum guiding the 2 deeper into the coliseum.

Waving farewell at one another as the 2 went their separate methods, the guard accompanied Valyr to the part of the coliseum that was particularly made for individuals who had been going to seem on the coliseum’s battleground, an space that may permit the members to arrange and relaxation.

‘I am truly doing this.’ As this thought popped up in his thoughts, Valyr inwardly let loose a lightweight chuckle because the flames of competitors and battle burned with higher fervor than ever earlier than.

Although, simply as Valyr had stepped foot within the space designated for individuals who would seem on the battleground, a notification sound resounded in his thoughts.

Ding!
