'Great, everything is going as planned…'

I naturally hadn't left the scene as I just darted far from their scope of view, before stealthy going back to a place where I can see them and hear their discussion…

Fortunately enough, it seemed that their memory was severely damaged by the 'Ancient Bewitching Marks' which caused even the shrewd Sean to misunderstand just like I planned, even going as far as his intelligence counter reacting and forming theories that confirmed the misunderstanding even more!

"Do you think it might have been caused by…" Clara said as she muttered at the end, causing me to be unable to hear her last words…

'Huh?'

"It might be, it isn't impossible but it's also unprobable, you can just forget about it for now, I will think it over once again at a later time and reach a more definite conclusion… Don't worry, I will make sure to protect you…" Sean said as he urged the horse to move...

Neighhhahha…

As I watched the horses moving away, I really couldn't help but wonder what they were talking about, Clara had obviously lowered her voice on purpose as it seemed like she was talking about something very secretive…

What was she saying exactly? Did they know about the demons or was it something else that they suspected to be the cause?

'Gahhh…'

I was naturally not going to get an answer to these questions soon either, this base was truly ominous, since I entered it and even after I left it, I only received more unanswered questions as mysteries piled up one after the other, it was really both disheartening and motivating as it pushed me forward to doing my best to satisfy my curiosity…

'Whatever, let's move on to the other important tasks on the list…'

After making sure that the the brother and sister pair has finally left, I turned around to look at the hiding sprout human who was naturally behind me the whole time as I was still going to get some more information from him before letting him go to the destination I had in mind for him…

"You can sit down once again if you want, I still have some more questions to ask you."

Coming out from behind the rock line that were hiding behind, I gestured for the sprout human to do the same thing he did last time as I sat down myself to concentrate more of the questions that I wanted to ask.

"Ok…" Sprout, who I finally decided to simplify his name to just that, replied as he by turn sat down as well, it seemed that he was already somewhat used to my style of interrogation at this point that he didn't really mind most things…

"Let's start with… Tell me about what you know about the demons hiding in the Nature Domain."

Now that I was finally done with the trouble caused by the base, including giving a vague explanation for the brother and sister pair, I could finally ask the more vital questions that I held back from asking when we were still inside the base…

"Well, I don't know much details, especially about the other hidden bases, I basically know nothing regarding their location as I was limited to my own base due to the fact that I was it's processor, but I did hear a few details regarding the outer schemes that they were brewing as time went by…" Sprout said as he shrugged before squinting his eyes as he seemed to be trying hard to remember something…

'I guess that's one door closed…'

I was hoping that I might be able to get a list of the other bases' locations which would naturally make it so that I would be at least able to harvest quite a bit of stat points and possibly obtain other legacies, with the potential to drop my sect joining plan as I might be able to find an answer to most parts by interrogating other demons like I did to sprout, but…

It was simply a pipe dream of mine as I hoped that it would be more simple and less demanding, even though I knew deep down that the possibility of the isolated sprout to know much about other bases was very very low.

"What details exactly…?"

On the other hand, the way Sprout said it, it seemed like he might actually have other valuable information hidden away more than I truly expected…

"Something about one of the main coordinators that worked on the outside, a human seed if I remember correctly, he should be someone that is very deeply situated within one of the strongest human powers in the domain…" Sprout said as he scratched his chin, seemingly trying to remember more details…

'This…'

I couldn't help but get a bit excited deep inside, if Sprout really knew some details about this seed, then this would make my life much easier by several times already!

'Is it another Jackpot…?'

Normal seeds wouldn't garner such an attention from me as they would probably only be useless pawns that would be used by the demons to act on some dirty work like that assassin who went after me, but they were mostly kept on the dark and would provide me little to no value if I had any information on them…

However, on the other hand, a seed who acts as a coordinator who distributes the orders of the demons around the domain while being hidden in a strong organization similar to how that elder in the Light Association's branch acted would be such a valuable target for throughout interrogation that could possibly act as the cheat key to clearing this domain without much trouble!

"Don't you have something more in depth information…?"

It was going to be such a huge letdown if that turned out to be all he knew about it after I got this excited after all…

"I think I remember more than just that… something about a branched organization of some sort…" Sprout snapped his fingers as he seemed to have finally remembered something, which naturally gave me some more hope...
