(But still, these are not looking good.) – thought Oron as he was sitting at a tavern.

(I’ve been in this territory for months and so far, I’ve obtained a single lead.)

(The fiancé.)

"..."

(And nothing else.)

(Did the dragon king of Pyrgos clan lied to us?)

[You have received message from player ClownFrog.]

["Things are looking good on our end and there are still no trouble."]

["But we still cannot make big move yet."]

(Well... At least things are going great back home.) – thought Oron as he read ClownFrog’s message.

(Still... I don’t like this.)

(There is something going on in the dragon empire.... Something big... And yet extremely well hidden.)

(Should I ask for some assistance.... No.)

(The search for the Forgotten Fragments is about to end, but that doesn’t mean the job is over for them.)

(Still, maybe they could sent LM and Tail my way, their stealth skills are top notch and they may help me out big time.)

(But beside them nobody else.)

(The stuff that is going on here is.... Well, the operation itself is beyond risky.)

(It is like walking on already thin ice, which is already somewhat cracking.)

(And if WE were to shatter it, then who know what sort of consequences will there be?)

(I really would avoid things being screwed up by mine or anybody from our side mistake.)

"..."

(Still.... Only a single lead.)

(I mean, I do seem more and more that rift between clans opening more and more, causing more hostility and what not... But again, no main leads.)

(The theory of Pyrgos being the ones planning the rebellion may be true.... But again, there is also that Wo’won clan... I find them sus like hell.)

(But again, suspicious is one thing, another is proof.)

"But where the fuck do I look?"

(I’m looking for the woman that disappeared without trace, without leaving any information about her or when she exactly disappeared.)

(And the most annoying fucking thing is the memory manipulation thing.)

(How many people knew about her? How many people had their memories erased?)

(I’ve tried looking for some leads, but there was nothing.)

(Somebody burned down everything, making sure that nobody could track the fiancé.)

(Still, this "lack of information" is too obvious.... A proof that somebody had erased her existence.)

"..."

(Memories....)

"..."

(Simple question.)

(But if you can erase memories of NPCs, can you somehow also restore them?) – thought Oron as he opened up his friend list.

[Next day.]

"So, you are saying that you gotten something already?" – asked Oron as he was using {Chat – Video Call} to communicate with Blueberry.

["Yeb."] – replied Blueberry.

["Well, there are ways of restoring the destroyed or erased memories."]

["However, the ones that held the best information about this were the witches... I’ve asked them about in details and they said it is possible to restore the missing memories of the powerful being, such as a dragon king."]

"Wait! Really?! Can they make it?!" – asked excited Oron.

["Yes... But there is obvious problem."]

["Strength."]

["You said that something was able to perfectly affect the dragon king, making him forget as much information as anybody else."]

["So, if you want to restore memories from that kind of powerful memory erasing manipulation, you need to use special potion."]

["I’ve asked the witches to prepare that potion in secret, but it will take time."]

["Not only that, I’ve asked that the potion to be made in secret, so only Elizabeth and several other witches know about the request."]

"But it will be made, right?"

["Yes. It should take them about week or two to make that potion that will cure the dragon king’s memories. The problem however will be delivery, but we should figure out something."]

"I see... Thanks. I will be ending call, and thanks again for helping me out. I will try contacting you if something does pop up on my end." – said Oron as he ended the call.

(Well, I guess it was a good thing that we had connection with Sabath.)

(Man, these witches really do often come in handy in many different situation.)

(I honestly thought that it will take way longer, like a month or two.... But just 1 or 2 weeks? That s it?)

(Huh.)

(Things just gotten.... Why the fuck I didn’t just contacted from get go after I left that territory?)

*Sigh*

"..."

(Still, there is another question now.)

(What will happened after his memories would get restored?)

(Obviously I will try to make sure he wouldn’t go berserk.)

(But how do I know that his clan is truly loyal to him?)

(What if that fiancé got some support from inside?)

(The dragon king may had already began his search.... And if there is truly a traitor there... Then Wumi clan may be already target for extermination.)

(Should I really be still involved with Wumi clan?)

"..."

(Then again, they are perfect bait.)

(If somebody makes a move, they will just expose themselves.)

("Why they had killed Wumi clan?")

("What was Wumi clan doing before their extermination?")

("Why they were looking into the fiancé?")

(Questions and questions would pile up, causing chain reactions.... And the one who would want to exterminate the Wumi clan, be the main suspect of a treason against the empire as a whole in the eyes of the people.)

"..."

(But again.... That fucking Wo’won clan.... Should I just do deep investigation on them?)
