Chapter 560 558: Reverse Tracking

After solving the search incident, Hilia finally relaxed, re-disguised herself, and returned to the inn.

Rose's phantom appeared and said, "Take out that Heart of the Magic Puppet for me to see."

"Alright."

Hilia nodded and took out the Heart of the Death Attribute Puppet.

Rose held it with his fingertips, making the Heart rotate at his fingertips.

After a moment, he tossed it onto the small table in front of Hilia.

"How is it?" Hilia asked.

"I've already figured out how to counter this tracking," Rose said blandly.

Hilia asked, "How to counter it? Do you need my help?"

Rose nodded, chuckled, and said, "Of course, without you, it wouldn't be possible to counter it."

Hilia sat upright: "What do I need to do? Just tell me!"

Rose said, "They know the exact location of this Heart through its... some special sensing, so conversely, I can use their positioning to track them directly."

Hilia was taken aback, her eyes gradually widening: "Lord Rose, you're not planning to..."

"That's right, I want you to go directly and take down the rest of their Hearts of the Magic Puppet."

"No, no, no, Lord Rose, this seems impossible!" Hilia immediately waved her hand: "For something that can be remotely located, their side surely has a Tier Six heretic, going there means certain death... unless there is no Tier Six Mage inside."

Rose smiled slightly: "You're wrong, there is a Tier Six Mage inside, and possibly more than one."

Hilia: "..."

Rose continued, "I'm not asking you to sacrifice yourself, just to take the other side of this Heart of the Magic Puppet, letting it merge into a complete... Heart of the Magic Puppet."

Hilia asked curiously, "Isn't this Heart complete enough? Even though it's not as good as the Water Element one we got before, it's a Heart of the Death Element Magic Puppet that many mages haven't seen in their lifetime."

In reality, although everyone knows the rarer the element, the stronger it is, representing specialization,

It also means it's possibly never going to happen to have a Heart of the same element, unable to unleash its full power.

Even Hilia, at Tier Four, is still using Hearts of other elements.

Note that among all rare elements, Ice Element is considered not so rare, yet finding it is still difficult.

"This Heart of the Magic Puppet is not a mono-attribute but dual-attribute. Only having complete dual-attributes counts as a complete Heart of the Magic Puppet."

"Dual attributes?" Hilia widened her eyes, surprised: "But Lord Rose said a person can't have two Hearts of the Magic Puppet?"

"A Heart of the Magic Puppet having dual attributes doesn't mean it's two Hearts of the Magic Puppet," Rose shook his head.

"I see." Hilia realized.

She looked curiously at the ink-black Heart of the Magic Puppet, very curious about what its other half is.

Rose said, "The next action's target is to reverse track, analyze the places they've tracked, and lock in. You'll secretly go, snatch it, and merge it with this Heart of the Magic Puppet."

"The difficulty must be high, I... I'll try my best."

Hilia cheered herself up, and after a long time, she asked, "So where is the other half?"

Rose said, "In the Elf Forest."

"Elf Forest?" Hilia immediately thought of Elina and the old elf who blocked her from having too much contact with Elina back in the Northern Alliance.

If going to the Elf Forest...

Hilia pondered for a moment, muttering to herself, "Going to the Elf Forest, there's a probability of meeting Elina... But the Elf Forest is vast, it shouldn't be that easy."

Shaking her head, Hilia cast aside Elina's image, saying, "Alright, I agree, Lord Rose, when do we set off?"

Rose smiled slightly: "No rush, let's stay for two more days, and see if the Dusk Sect has any moves first, it's not urgent to go then. Nothing I've locked has ever escaped."

"Alright."

Hilia had to curb her feelings.

Absolutely must not let Lord Rose know how much I anticipate going to the Elf Forest!

Rose sensed Hilia's emotions and couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems at Kost City, the old words from the elf made Hilia quite unhappy, so after she learned she'd be going to the Elf Forest, she looked forward to it.

Although she didn't have the idea of flaunting it in front of the elves, she absolutely wanted to wander in and out of the Elf Forest, and if possible, invite Elina out, making the old elf furious.

Rose knew Hilia's thoughts but didn't say anything.

He wasn't in a hurry to leave, naturally wanting to see if there would be further sensing from the other side.

"Apart from this Sea God guy, the other Main Gods are not so cautious, it's just unknown whether this is specifically sensed by the God of Life and Death, or his believers are using his power to sense," Rose contemplated.

Speaking of which, Ethel is the most cautious and timid Main God, yet he's the first one to stumble.

It has to be said, it's somewhat ironic.

"If it is the former, I'm sure Ethel would love it, building his Divine Hall alone takes too long, adding a person to build together is very nice. If it's the latter... let's see if this guy is dead first."

Over the long years, Ethel couldn't be sure of the status of the other people.

From the situation of the split and shattered Divine Formats of Life and Death, the situation of the God of Life and Death likely doesn't look optimistic.

The distinction is whether he did it himself, whether it was done by the Divine King, or by those apostles of his and demons in the Abyss.

Rose hoped it wasn't the issue with the Divine King, but generally, what you don't hope for indeed happens, he planned for the worst.

"What is the Divine King ultimately plotting, through what method does he intend to acquire the power to kill me?"

Rose furrowed his brows.

No matter how much he pondered, it remained incomprehensible, so he put it aside.

Over the next few days, Hilia disguised as someone else and temporarily settled in Dawn City.

Besides buying materials and drawing scrolls, she casually wandered around the city, gathering some intelligence.

Two Tier Five heretics suddenly appeared above the castle and were defeated by Bois and others, which wasn't a secret and hit the headlines of the local newspaper the next day.

This matter sparked a lot of discussions, but since the opponent didn't cause any substantive damage, the discussions quieted down soon.

The entire city slowly calmed down until one day, Hilia received from Rose traces of sensing and positioning on the Heart of the Death Attribute Puppet.

Hilia immediately got serious.

"Finally, they have come, I've waited for them a long time."
