Rein's closeness made Matteo feel that his recent performance must have satisfied the Deputy Commander.
"At your command, Captain!" two stalwart Night Watchmen stepped forward and said.
Just as Rein was about to follow 'Cookie' to the north side of Flashgold Town with three people, he quickly noticed two familiar sets of footsteps behind him.
He turned around and saw it was Lagaray and Anna.
"Rein, do you need us to accompany you?"
After thinking for a moment, Rein said, "Well... Anna, you should go home first, there might be some danger later. Lagaray, you can come with me."
Anna nodded, at the same time, she slightly bowed her head, her eyes dimmed.
As expected, Rein must think of her as a burden in his heart.
She glanced enviously at Lagaray standing beside her, holding a brand-new metal shield, looking heroic.
How wonderful it would be if she could be like Lagaray one day!
Soon, Rein's group of five arrived at the north side of Flashgold Town.
However, what puzzled Rein was that the Lurcher 'Cookie,' even after reaching the edge of the north side of Flashgold Town, kept running forward without any sign of stopping.
Could it be that Adams' residence was in an estate outside of Flashgold Town? Rein couldn't help but speculate.
'Cookie' continued to sniff and run, and it seemed they were getting closer and closer to County Town.
In an instant, Rein reacted!
Yes, a master of Adams' caliber was naturally most likely to be hidden in County Town.
After all, a level three Wizard Apprentice looking to advance would need resources that a small town simply couldn't provide.
Or to say, it would be very inconvenient for such a master to reside in a small town and obtain resources.
The group of five quickly passed through the city gates, but then 'Cookie' headed towards a location Rein was increasingly familiar with.
This is near Frank's Tavern.
A flash of insight crossed his mind!
In an instant, Rein connected the dots to an excellent location.
Could it be that Adams was usually hiding in the Bat Market?
Sure enough, the Lurcher 'Cookie' walked into the alley marked with a bat symbol, and then barked a few times with a dumbfounded dog's expression, looking at Rein.
It seemed to be saying, 'It should be here, but the scent stops. There's nothing ahead!'
Rein smiled and turned to Matteo and the other two, saying, "Your uniforms are too conspicuous, wait here for a bit."
"At your command, Deputy Commander!" Matteo said with a grin.
After a moment's thought, Rein said to Lagaray, "Your shield and figure are too noticeable, too. Better wait here with Matteo and the others for me."
"Well... okay!" Lagaray clenched her hand on the shield and nodded.
She was currently quite behind Rein in terms of strength, so she didn't offer any objections.
Rein then picked up 'Cookie' and walked into the Bat Market.
The four people on the side watched in surprise as Rein suddenly disappeared in front of them!
Right away, the four of them exchanged puzzled looks!
By this time, it had started to get light.
Perhaps in a normal morning market, there should already be early-rising merchants and pedestrians mingling, but in the Bat Market, the human flow was extremely scarce, and the streets were empty.
As soon as he entered, Rein set the Lurcher 'Cookie' down, and 'Cookie's dog eyes regained their previous liveliness. Sniffing around, it began to quickly scout ahead.
Soon, the man and dog arrived at a shop with a sign hanging on the door featuring patterns of stars, the sun, and the moon.
"Woof!" 'Cookie' let out a soft bark.
Afterward, it wagged its tail and walked back and forth in front of the closed shop door.
Clearly, this was the place 'Cookie' had determined Adams had stayed before.
Rein raised his eyebrows in delight.
Having tracked from Flashgold Town all the way to County Town, now, they finally found a site where the other party had likely stayed.
Rein first looked around and, after realizing that no one on the street was paying attention to himself and 'Cookie,' immediately circled the shop, carefully observing it.
Soon, he noticed one of the windows of the shop was half-open.
After a moment of thought, Rein began to execute his newly mastered core Beast Tamer skill, 'Beast Eye.'
The next second, Rein's vision switched to 'Cookie.'
'Cookie' took a running start and leaped through the window about one and a half meters high.
It wasn't long before a man's scolding voice came from inside: "Where did this stray dog come from!"
Shortly after, 'Cookie' jumped back out the window.
At that time, Rein ended the skill 'Beast Eye' and looked amused.
"There's only one adult male inside, very weak, seems to be Adams' servant, or possibly just an ordinary employee to help watch the shop."
"Should be easy to handle."
So, Rein stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The person inside asked cautiously, "Who's there?"
"We're not open for business yet, the Diviner is not in." The other party added another sentence.
It seems that this was most likely a false identity used by Adams to hide.
Not opening the door?
Rein raised his gauntlet-covered right hand and slammed it violently against the wooden door!
Rein chose to break in directly.
The shop's wooden door suddenly had a hole the size of a washbasin, and without delay, Rein pulled open the door latch, pushed the door open, and walked in.
