Chapter 806: 815 815 Securing Some Backup

For a few seconds after Mrazivý told him that all of the direct staff members of the resort were homunculi, Marcus could not hide the astonished expression on his face.

They all looked and seemed to be normal humans, but they were all actually artificially created beings.

Asking for more details Marcus wanted to compare what he had gotten with his appraisal skill vs what Mrazivý's dragon eyes could see.

For all he knew they were surrounded by powerful entities that could start attacking them the moment that they realized he and Mrazivý had caught on to the resort's secrets.

However, it seemed that his momentary worry was for nothing. Other than hiding their race and labeling them as human, the magic item on each of the homunculi had no other effect.

Their skills and stats were the exact same under Mrazivý's dragon eyes as when he got with his appraisal skill, and it proved that none of the resort staff members were any threat to them.

'Now that we know this, it is clear that something larger is at play. This is not just an isolated incident, but a plot that is being carried out over the entire resort. We really do need to get to the bottom of this.' Mrazivý said with a very serious glint in her eyes.

Marcus on the other hand felt that they might have been getting closer to poking a bear that they would be better off avoiding.

Whoever had set up this plot had done so meticulously and was almost certainly stronger than either of them.

They had not been caught up to this point, which showed that they had either been able to keep all information about what was going on sealed, or anyone that had found out in the past had already been dealt with.

'I think that if we are going to keep pursuing this, we need to have some backup. We should at least inform Boreas of what is going on and see if he would be willing to give us some help if we run into trouble that we cannot deal with on our own.' Marcus said sternly.

Seeing that he was not going to budge otherwise, Mrazivý nodded her head and suggested that eh head back to Borealia really quick and speak to Boreas.

'While you do that I go back to our room, consolidate the information we have found out already, and come up with our next step in this investigation.' Mrazivý said before cutting off their telepathic conversation.

The two of them then causally ate their meal so as not to arouse any suspicion, and once they were finished hastily returned to their room.

"Okay I will head back to Borealia for a few hours at most. If you run into any trouble, make sure to contact me and I will come back immediately." Marcus said while looking down at the engagement ring he had given Mrazivý.

He had forged a piece of his soul into it, and by sending in some of her own spiritual energy into it Mrazivý could send him a distress signal that he could feel from pretty much anywhere on the planet.

"Don't worry. I will be fine. Now go ahead and get going."

After settling everything, Marcus focused an immense amount of magical energy into his palm, and a swirling dark hole began to appear in their room.

When it reached around a meter in diameter, Marcus felt that it was secure and connected to one of the portals he had left in Borealia.

"I promise to be back soon. Please do not get into any trouble while I am gone." Marcus said before disappearing into the portal.

An instant later, he found himself in the wilds around a hundred miles from the royal capital of Borealia.

'It is a good thing that I set up a couple portals before we left just in case. It would have taken me a bit longer to get here the traditional way.' Marcus thought before turning his body towards his destination.

In the blink of an eye, he turned into pure light and raced across the sky at the speed of light.

A little more than half a second later he stopped above the royal capital of Borealia and began flying towards the castle at a more manageable speed.

Naturally he was in his ghost form to do so, as otherwise his flying through the sky would have him swarmed with knights.

Easily enough he entered the vicinity of the castle, and he landed in one of the forested areas.

Quickly he solidified only his left hand and head while taking out a sending stone that connected only to Boreas.

"Boreas, it is Marcus. An emergency came up that I need to consult you on." Marcus said into the stone.

He then waited for what seemed like an eternity for a response when it was only a few minutes in reality.

"Okay. I will be waiting in your room. Come there and we can talk in private." Boreas said over the sending stone.

Letting out a sigh of relief that he got in contact, Marcus put the sending stone away and flew towards the castle in his ghost form and made his way to his room.

Once inside eh saw Boreas sitting on the couch with a tense expression that was quite uncharacteristic of him.

Before Marcus even reappeared Boreas looked right towards him and said, "Good you are here. From the tone in your voice and I can tell that whatever is going on is serious. Sit down and tell me about it."

Solidifying his soul and becoming visible again, Marcus did as Boreas said and sat down across from him.

"You know it is a bit unsettling that you can so easily appear in another's sealed room." Marcus said, seeing that Boreas had without issue teleported inside his and Mrazivý's room.

It was likely that he could go anywhere in the castle wherever he wanted without any restriction.

"Says the guy that can phase though walls and is almost undetectable. I can only move about like this here since I set this place up that way." Boreas countered

"Fair enough. Anyway, that is not why I am here. Mrazivý and I have discovered something quite dangerous." Marcus said with a grave expression on his face.

He then explained all they had found out at the resort and how Mrazivý wanted to keep investigating.

"That is certainly not what I was expecting when you said you discovered something dangerous, but I can see how something like that could rock the entire world. Even in all my time on this world, I have never heard of someone infecting someone's soul with a surveillance device. Though I hardly know of all of the unique and supreme skills on this world, so pretty much anything is possible." Boreas said as he went deep into thought.

Even he rarely dealt with powers that could affect souls. It was a fairly uncommon type of ability and Marcus was actually quite an anomaly for having so many different abilities that could interact with souls.

"I admit that this is intriguing and that it could be dangerous, but you are right that it might be best to just leave it alone. Sometimes you do not want to get involved in plots like these and just ignore them if they are not affecting you. I have made similar mistakes in the past and have lost friends because of it. Still, I will leave the decision up to you. If you really do wish to continue pursuing this, I will give you some help, but I cannot simply leave Borealia for a long time while Gwyneira is at the end of her pregnancy."

"I can tell that Mrazivý is set on pursuing this to the end, and I want to support her despite my own misgivings. Any assistance you can give us is reassuring." Marcus said with a resolute smile.

"Got it, I will do what I can. I will contact a few people I know and have them gather what information they can on this. And here take this."

Opening his item box Boreas took out a familiar looking golden stick that Marcus had seen Gwyneira use once before.

"This is a branch that came from a Gemini Tree. It has a twin that is in my possession and when one is destroyed the other will be as well no matter what and give at least a general idea of where the other was broken. If you end up in an emergency where you absolutely need my help, break it and I will come running as fast as I can."

"Thank you for this. It is very reassuring to know that we can call for you if we end up facing something we cannot handle on our own." Marcus said as he took the golden stick.

After that he said goodbye to Boreas and opened up a dark portal in order to return to Mrazivý.
