Chapter 57: Investigation

...

Easton POV:

"Sigh... so another child ended up disappearing, huh? With this one they are 38..." I sighed in exhaustion and annoyance while reading the document in my hands that showed all problems the city has faced in this month.

A lack of food thanks to the ever-increasing cold in this hellish winter that kills our animals and crops without discrimination. Many deaths for starvation in the slums zone of the city, and of course, the many cases of cultist kidnapping children for mysterious reasons. 

The only thing that kept our people happy was that we were managing to get a lot more of different resources thanks to the fact that there weren't that many goblins in our territory right now. Giving us freedom to explore more deeply into or territory and recover some of our territory from the hands of the goblins.

However, like to tear apart this happiness, the cultist suddenly started acting a lot more than in previous occasions, and on top of that, this time they were kidnapping children from different parts of the city.

"Yes sir! Fortunately, we have managed to apprehend a lot of cultists while they tried to kidnap more children, since then the cultists seemed to have completely ceased their doings, and disappeared from our eye. Whether we captured too many of their members and they decided to stop their activities for some time, or they simply succeeded in whatever they wanted to accomplish." 

So they stopped, huh? 

For some reason I can't be at ease at all....

Although they acted in previous times while we were at war with the goblins, they were still considered a minor group of criminals that wasn't worthy of our attention, thus, only a few soldiers were sent to take care of them, but failed ultimately. And since then they have gathered a lot of members and hid somewhere in our territory while managing to infiltrate some of their spies into our ranks.

So they stopping because we captured too many of their members doesn't make any sense, after all, they are known for sacrificing until the last one of their members if deemed necessary, not that the members care anyways as they are completely happy to offer their lives in order to revive their God Cutukulu.

Or was it Catzulu? I don't know anymore...

"Sir! We have been notified that Sir Aspen has come back and requested an audience"

As soon as I heard the words of the soldier, a grin appeared involuntary in my mouth, and I told him to let Aspen pass.

Soon, the door opened once again and a familiar face appeared right at the entrance.

This time his hair was a lot longer than the last time a month ago, with it almost reaching his back!

Of course, I recognized him instantly even after noticing his extremely long hair, after all, his ever tired look is something that no one else has.

With this, I was sure that we could manage to face whatever came to us.

"Hahaha, The hero finally comes back!"

Aspen POV:

...

*Yawn*

After a long talk with the old man Easton I managed to get in my hands a lot of useful information for me to start investigating the kidnapping cases.

Since the kidnapping cases were already over, supposedly, now I needed to know where to look for the Cultists and how to find their base to trample over them in just one go.

I couldn't allow them to continue ruining my ever lasting holidays after all...

*Gulp*
