The holy maiden's soul is already very weak. Without the protection of a human body, it wouldn't have a chance of surviving under the energy of heaven and earth's suppression.
“Of course,” Fernando responded.
He activated his teleportation magecraft immediately and disappeared with Jared in a flash.
When the pair arrived at the Gunderson family estate, they found Chester engaged in deep conversation with an elderly man.
After learning that Jared had come, Chester hurried out at once to greet him. The elderly man was dumbfounded by his actions.
He's the Gunderson family's Great Elder. I can't believe he'd go out to greet his guests. Even I have never experienced such a welcome!
Puzzled, the elderly man followed Chester outside.
“Mr. Chance,” Chester said, hurrying forward and greeting Jared deferentially.
“I'm sorry for the intrusion, Great Elder. I needed to speak to you,” Jared responded.
“We can talk inside, Mr. Chance.”
Chester quickly ushered Jared into the house.
A look of surprise crossed the elderly man's face when he saw that the person Chester went to welcome personally turned out to be a young man.
He looked at Chester and asked, “Who is this person? Why do you treat him with so much respect?”
“He's Jared Chance,” Chester replied. Turning to Jared, he said, “Mr. Chance, this is Wayne Gingerich, head of The Adamantine.”
Jared nodded at Wayne politely. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Gingerich.”
With a gentle wave of Chester's hand, an enclosed space appeared. Then, he asked Jared, “What brings you here with such urgency?”
Jared told Chester about Evangeline's disappearance. He even revealed that the holy maiden had possessed Evangeline's body. After all, he did not feel right to keep it a secret from Chester.
Chester was gripped with worry upon learning that his daughter had gone missing but did not seem bothered by the fact that the holy maiden's soul had possessed her body. When Evangeline's soul returns, the holy maiden's soul inside her will just have to leave.
“Great Elder, do you know of any way to determine Evangeline's location so I can rescue her?” Jared enquired, revealing his reason for coming to find Chester.
Chester furrowed his brows. “Locating her is something that's too difficult for us. However, it wouldn't be a problem if we had charms masters. They'd only need to draw a tracking talisman to detect her aura. That way, we'd be able to find her. However, charm spells have long since become a lost art, and very few know how to cast them. I don't know where we'd be able to find a charms master.”
Jared's eyes lit up when he heard that. “Now that you mention it, I know someone who can draw tracking talismans.”
He had immediately thought of Flaxseed. Back when Zion was hunting down Jared, Zion had gotten tracking talismans from Flaxseed. That was why no matter how hard Jared tried to get away, he could not escape Zion's pursuit.
