After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1325

He started going deeper into the house, checking if the floor was hollow anywhere.

He closed his eyes and used his ability. Chewing on some improved Mana Cookies, he called on the wind and controlled them to enter the crawl along the flooring, trying to find whatever hole he could find.

The floor of such a palace was mostly made of marble-like stone, so it wasn't easy, but he thought there should still be openings if there was a hidden dungeon or something.

One of the most useful skills he awakened in the past few months was a skill called [Wind's Touch], which could allow him to have a 'feel' of whatever the wind touched (not in the perverted sense, but more of another 'sight').

His search, especially when his physical body was limited, would be expedited with it.

It consumed large amounts of mana, however, which was why he was only using it now.

When, after a bit of searching the entire ground floor, nothing except a few hiding small (and empty) spots were revealed, he decided to change strategies.

It was around this time that many of the unconscious guards (temporarily affected by the sleeping bomb they threw earlier) woke up and had been now running around to check what had happened, to see if there were intruders.

Soon, he heard distant gasps and bellows. "Thieves! The treasures are gone!"

"The kids are gone too!"

"Could it have been them? Did they steal everything?!"

"HOW?!"

"No! There were definitely intruders! FIND THEM!"

From the wind's touch, he knew that the kids at least managed to get out of the building, but his ability could not work as well outdoors since there was so much external wind there, so his 'reach' was limited beyond the palace.

He was unaware whether they had met up yet (his aether letter received no report yet, either). All he could do was send a letter to warn the others to hide in a secure place with the kids, and he hoped they had managed to meet up.

With all the chaos going on, it should not be difficult for the kids and the others to blend in.

Anyway, back inside the palace, Eagle settled over one of the beams and used his wind ability to further hide his presence. He narrowed his eyes and waited for a guard to head near where he was.

Since they were so stretched out and the palace was so big, some areas only had one guard looking into them.

The fact that the outer guards had no idea about the basement meant it was a relatively exclusive place, likely accessible only to certain individuals and the Lord, and would not be easy to find without any more information.

Soon, a guard appeared underneath him. He jumped down, letting the wind soften both of their falls. He quickly activated the voice blocker too, dragging the guard to one of the corners.

WHAM!

PACK!

SLAM!
