Chapter 377: 377

He moved rapidly in fear of angering Ibro this time with his silly attitude. Ibro watched his move and sighed, he didn't think he was this merciless for this poor player to fear him. 

Ibro then headed towards a distant seat and sat on it, while Maya followed his steps and sat over an opposite seat. She looked silently towards him while he sent to her via divine sense:

'I will tell you now everything, but first, you need to keep your calm and don't ever show any change over your face. We are being watched the moment we touched the grounds of this city.'

'Fine, enough with the drama and just tell me.'

She seemed to be very eager to know the details, Ibro sighed as he hoped she could control her emotions. He said:

'That man was a system holder.'

"What the hell!"

This scream which appeared suddenly made Ibro lose his temper, he looked towards Bilarn as he said angrily:

"Can't you keep your silence for a minute? What happened to scream like this?"

Bilarn looked apologetically towards Ibro as he knelt on the floor again while explaining in a rush:

"I'm so sorry, my king, it's just I didn't find the item we are looking for."

Ibro glanced at him with glared eyes as he asked with impatience:

"What do you mean you can't find it? Didn't you say it will be auctioned here this time?"

Bilarn body trembled as Ibro's anger was immense, so he replied with panicked tone and pale face:

"I…I was sure it was there. I met the person who had it before and she told me she will sell this item here. I don't know what happened, but I can't find neither the item nor the person's name in the name list of the sellers."

Ibro calmed himself as he asked for further information:

"Do you know the name of this person?"

"Yes, her name is Emy."

"So, this Emy told you she would attend this auction? What makes you sure she will come here to sell her item?"

Bilarn swallowed his dry throat as he replied without a second thought:

"She holds the position of the great magician of this city, so she would sell her item here. She was the one that gave me the VIP invitation to this auction. She is an esteemed person that wouldn't lie to me."

Ibro's worry faded away as he instructed:

"Can you describe her to me?"

Maya interfered as she said:

"I have a better way, let me check his memories."

Ibro looked strangely towards her as he asked:

"Can you do this?"

She smiled as she replied proudly:

"It's a common technique in my world. don't worry, I won't harm your little man here."

Maya understood Ibro's intentions, he wanted to have a general picture of her so he could use his divine senses and look for this magician throughout the city. the way she proposed was way better, so Ibro didn't complain as he ordered:

"Stay put while my lady read your memories."

"Ok, my king."

Maya moved immediately towards him, then she put her right palm over Bilarn���s head as she instructed:

"Relax, you will feel nothing. Just think about her and I will do the rest."

Bilarn replied with a shaky voice:

"Ok, my lady."

'Copy her technique and add it to my list of divine abilities.'

'I will do so, this technique is very useful for you.'

'Indeed it is.'

Ibro talked for a moment with his system as he wanted to copy this technique and added it to his list of divine abilities. Having such a divine ability would save a lot of trouble for him. 

Ibro watched calmly as Maya started to use her technique over Bilarn. The time went slowly as she finished after nearly half an hour. She raised her head while saying via her divine sense:

'I know how she looks, you will definitely like her.'

Ibro sighed, this girl was thinking about weird stuff in weird times without a doubt. He then said via his divine sense:

'Then please start searching for her.'

She giggled as she teased him:

'Oh, you are worried about her already and you didn't even meet her.'

Ibro snorted and didn't reply to her teasing. Maya then started looking for this girl in the whole city. in minutes she managed to find her location. She looked with confusion towards him as she said via divine sense:

'This is strange, she is with that man who we just met.'

'You mean Randor?'

'Yes, she is with him and she seems to be confined in a place without her will. There are many hidden people there watching over her. I feel they are waiting for you to come and save her.'

Ibro sighed as he recalled the warning Randor sent to him using Ashely's code. He then sent via divine sense:

'That's fine, I'm already prepared for their ambush.'

Maya looked towards him strangely while she asked in curiosity and amusement:

'Did you expect this as well? That's great, tell me then what trap do you predict we will face there? I don't believe these people will be enough to even catch your eyes.'

Ibro smiled mysteriously as he replied:

'The only thing that could possibly threaten me is to send me away. I believe they are waiting for me with a teleport formation around that house.'

Maya's face changed color at once as she asked:

'What do you intend to do then? You can't risk moving into another world at this time.'

Ibro shook his head as he replied:

'I know, so I won't play by their rules. I will wait for my helper to appear and then we will have our chance by then.'

Maya wasn't stupid, as she figured out Ibro's intentions and plan. She then asked to confirm her guess:

'Do you plan to use that system holder? Aren't you afraid of his betrayal? He is obviously working for these demons.'

'Yes, he is, but the story goes like this…' Ibro then started to tell her the true face of the conversation he had with Randor. The more he spoke the more her face showed mixed feelings. 

Ibro knew that talking about another example similar to Maya's experience would have its toll over her, but he had to tell her everything to understand the situation better.
