The next morning…
Leina, Victor, Jason, and Merlin stood before the walls of Dunvale.
"Let's go," Leina said.
Victor clapped his hands, and instantly a giant bird, several meters long—the same one that had carried them before—appeared in the sky.
Leina, Jason, Victor, and Merlin leapt onto its back. The bird flapped its wings and soared high into the air.
"By the way, I'm curious about something," Merlin said, glancing at Leina, Jason, and Victor. "What happened to the mayor of Dunvale? Did you find any trace of him?"
Since the Dark Tunnel Organization had been destroyed, the mayor, Ludric, had fled.
Merlin didn't know how Ludric had learned of the organization's defeat, but he didn't want to let the man escape.
Ludric had been one of the main causes of chaos in Helvar—he needed to be dealt with.
