419: Finding Dick's Way

Chapter 418: The Way to Find Dick

At the same time, in the central sleeping hall of the Royal Palace of the Toya Empire, Northern Demon Spirit Continent.

Unlike the approaching dawn and the rising sun outside the window, the atmosphere inside the hall was solemn.

The women sat around a square conference table, while Trundle paced back and forth nearby. Everyone was silent.

Yesterday, Dick suddenly disappeared under everyone's eyes and then completely lost contact. No matter what method was used, he couldn't be sensed, as if he had vanished into thin air.

Trundle was right there at the time, and even as the God of Faith, it was completely baffled, thinking it was just another one of Dick's strange maneuvers.

Originally, no one paid much attention, as Dick always did things that defied common sense.

For so long, Dick had been the backbone, the one who held the fort and issued commands.

He always worried about others and never needed others to worry about him.

However, when Trundle casually asked and Orivia said that Dick was not within her divine domain...

Only then did everyone realize that things were not so simple.

You know, as the Snow Goddess, Orivia's divine domain covers the entire Northern Demon Spirit Continent, so Dick had actually left Northern!

Where did he go?

Why did he go?

Is he safe now?

Various questions popped into everyone's minds. For the first time in so long, they were worried about Dick and held a meeting for this purpose.

But without Dick, the meeting was extremely inefficient. Most of the time passed in silence, with no progress whatsoever.

If it were before, meetings led by Dick were usually very short because everyone didn't need to discuss; they just needed to follow his arrangements.

With Dick present, everything seemed incredibly easy. He could always handle everything, finding the most suitable solutions for any problem. Everyone basically didn't need to use their brains.

"No, we must take action. Dick once said that when faced with uncertainty, waiting idly will increase the possibility of failure!"

Alice stood up. She had had enough of the feeling of confusion and bewilderment.

Mina nodded heavily in agreement, saying, "I think Dick is right!"

As the duration of the disconnection increased, the probability of Dick being in danger also increased. Maybe he was currently facing a life-or-death crisis!

No matter how powerful Dick was, he was still just a young man under twenty, a mortal body, and he could die!

"But what should we do? Dick isn't even in Northern. We don't even know his exact location..."

Cecilia's face was filled with worry, and her eyes were full of pessimism. Countless terrifying possibilities flashed through her mind.

Spatial magic, besides being complex in principle and difficult to control, is more importantly, extremely dangerous!

If other magic fails, at most the source of the heart is injured, but if spatial magic fails, it can be fatal!

According to Trundle's description, Dick's sudden disappearance earlier looked like some kind of teleportation magic.

If something went wrong, Dick could very likely be melted by spatial turbulence, twisted to death by spatial winds, or crushed by spatial pressure...

The more she thought about it, the more frightened Cecilia became, to the point of confusion.

"If we don't know the location, then we'll go find it. Dick once said that as long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!"

Alice's expression was firm. She never gave up easily. Until the very last moment, she would never show the slightest bit of dejection.

Mina nodded heavily, agreeing again, "I think Dick is right!"

"I will use all the resources of the Empire to search for Dick. Perhaps I can find a clue..." Victoria's voice sounded, but it was full of frustration.

Having just experienced the death of her Imperial Father, she now had to endure the disappearance of her beloved. The continuous blows were almost too much for the strong Empress to bear.

"All resources..."

Alice mumbled while looking down, then suddenly her eyes widened. She looked at the worried-looking Cecilia and said, "Dick left behind a lot of intelligence resources! We can use them!"

"Intelligence resources?"

Cecilia's thoughts were still a jumble, and she was momentarily confused by Alice's excited words.

Crack!

Alice slammed a two-star wizard token onto the table and said in a deep voice, "This, is intelligence resource!"

Previously, when Fama was hunting Hazel, another two-star wizard cadre came to reinforce, but unfortunately, both were killed.

Dick took this opportunity to obtain two wizard tokens, used a secret method to wash away the soul imprints on them, and then gave them to Alice and Cecilia respectively.

The two women, one a two-star wizard cadre and one a three-star wizard cadre, had extensive connections in the Northern wizard circle!

"There are many intelligence dealers in the wizard market. They are spread all over the world and specialize in profiting from intelligence transactions!"

Alice's face was excited. She had finally found the most suitable way to break the deadlock. Using the wizard market would surely help them find Dick quickly!

"Cecilia, Dick should have also told you that in various regions of the Nine Continents of the world, there are some top intelligence dealers. We just need to contact them one by one!"

Although the cost of buying intelligence was not small, Alice and Cecilia were both very wealthy, after all, the 800,000 merit points Dick had scammed from the dragon race before was an astronomical figure.

Cecilia's eyes lit up, and the dejection on her face vanished. She immediately stood up and said, "Without further ado, let's start right away!"

"Xiao Nai, come sit next to me," Alice said, then added, "Hold me tightly, just like you assisted Dick before!"

Alice's thoughts were meticulous. She remembered that Xiao Nai had a special physique that could increase luck and help them find Dick faster.

Recalling the past, Alice had witnessed more than once that whenever Dick needed to boost his luck, he would stick close to Xiao Nai.

Although the specific principle was unclear, doing it Dick's way couldn't be wrong!

"Ah? You... you can snap your fingers too?" Xiao Nai asked tremblingly.

Upon hearing this, Alice frowned, not knowing what Xiao Nai was talking about, and just urged her to come and sit down quickly.
