After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1000

Sahara… _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

What a beautiful name. It really fit the smooth, sand-colored, hair he once ran with his fingers through.

His eyes glazed at the memory and it was only when his informants asked for more information about Alterran products—after calling for him many times—did he broke out of it.

After a bit more small talk, he realized they told him everything they knew and he finally excused himself from the conversation.

He didn’t commit to anything, but he still gave them hope of a good deal. They weren’t particularly satisfied, but they didn’t show it. Anyway, they got a free bottle of expensive alcohol from this visit.

Of course, how could Helios pass the chance to punish them a bit?

He may or may not have added a few things in their drinks to give them some stomach problems.

It was a mild laxative, actually, one of the basic medicines in the ’medicine kits’ all guards had in their space. Of course, rather than for things like this, it was used by guards to help them when they had to hold back a lot after missions and the like.

He added a few extra doses just to make it more… effective. It would only show after a few days of incubation though, so it was unlikely they’d trace it back to the drink he gave them.

Ideally, it’d happen during their travel home, to make things extra inconvenient for them. Best if there were Beast Mobs going after them.

This was actually a possible scenario. Although he didn’t add Beast Attracting potions in their items (he knew they’d stay in the Town for a bit longer and it’d just be wasted and dissipate if he did so) if they took dump after dump in forests, it was bound to attract a few beasts.

Anyway, after a while more of searching, Helios traced her current location.

And it was to none other than Bleulle City itself.

As for how he found out about it, it took him a few more days of research and investigation.

According to the informants, before the Ferrol Market event had ended, the Dune Town party rushed to get out of the territory, which was unusual because normally people would complete the fair to maximize their trip.

He had an idea why they rushed though, and it might have had something to do with what happened between him and the lady.

He took note of the direction they apparently headed towards and—with the map he bought in Alterra—he narrowed down the next places she could’ve gone towards.

There was no Town in the region that could exceed Ferrol in terms of ’deals’ she’d be looking for, so it could only be in more powerful territories.

She exited from the Southeast Gate of Ferrol, with their angle biased towards the South.

From this, he determined that Sahara was likely going to Bleulle. This was the most practical place to go to even if he wasn’t certain. At the very least, in Bleuelle, the Golds were there and he could ask for favors.

With their help, if she was not there, then he’d find out quickly so he wouldn’t waste any more time there. He could move on and go to another place.
