The Medallion

"What? I don't think so. You're going to tell me what you're doing, or I will report what I just saw to Miss Hannah. Are you stealing the ethereal crystals, Captain?" Rocky asked with a mischievous smile on his face.

"You, idiot! Miss Hannah specifically asked me to do this!" Ramon commented angrily but tried to maintain his voice lowered.

"Wait. Miss Hannah was the one who asked you to take the crystals away? What the hell is going on?" Rocky asked as he instantly felt that something shady was going on.

"Mind your own business, brat! If I were you, I would just do my job well. Now, get out of the way," Ramon warned sternly.

"All right…" Rocky's eyes narrowed, but he decided to let the matter go at the moment. Then, he went to the sidelines and continued to observe Ramon.

After all of the ethereal crystals in the wagons were sucked into the Spiritual Treasure Sachet, Ramon returned to the side of Hannah's carriage and informed, "Miss Hannah, I already finished the task. I'm leaving now and I've asked Eliseo to take the command. If an ambush occurs, they will protect you with all their strength."

"Go ahead. You need to leave now," Hannah briefly replied.

Then, Ramon quickly checked the surroundings before he walked into the dark.

Hearing the conversation between Ramon and Hannah, Rocky had no clue what the ambush meant, but he certainly knew that they might be running into some trouble.

'It seems that something interesting is about to happen. I need to be prepared,' Rocky thought to himself as he let out a faint smile.

About an hour later, the guards continued their journey and they soon entered the Night-wolf Gorge.

The Night-wolf Gorge was infamous because of the dangers that lay within it, and it was known that a notorious group of robbers commonly brought misfortune to those who passed this place. The terrain of the gorge had several twists and turns, and the road was surrounded by cliffs on both sides. Thus, it had become an easy target for the Robber Regiment to set up an ambush. Especially when it was late at night, these robbers could move freely as if the area was the back of their palm.

Before Ramon left, he strictly instructed Eliseo to be on high alert at all times. He had to pay attention to his surroundings in case there was a potential emergency.

Finally, they were already about to get out of the gorge, but they didn't encounter any trouble.

With this, the guards breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a little. However, just as they thought that they wouldn't come across any mishap, they suddenly saw that under the cliffs beside the road, several black shadows that looked like house lizards flew down along the cliff at such an incredible speed.
