Novel Full Chapter 1373 - Clues
Sam immediately went back to meet Giyon.
"What happened? I thought you are looking forward to checking his research."
"I was, until I came across something more interesting in his memories."
"What is it?"
"Before, I skipped past most of his memories as I was looking for Sivan's orders and such, but now that I went into a little more detail, I can now understand more.
For starters, the memories of him entering the clan are nowhere to be seen."
"What do you mean? How can memories disappear like that?"
"I don't think they disappeared, I believe they don't even exist. The last thing he has regarding this entry is that he came into contact with someone in the city secretly, they talked through letters and after their plan was ready which this guy doesn't even know, he was given a special medicine and he lost consciousness after that.
The next memory he had is the memory of him coming directly to your residence. It is almost like he landed on the path to your residence."
"So, he fainted after the medicine and came here. There is only one possible method that he might have had to come in that state. Someone must have smuggled him in."
"Yes, I knew that spies would be present in the clan but this is too much, someone managed to smuggle a man like that in, if that is the case, then you guys are in some serious trouble."
"Are there any other clues?"
"Yes, from the memories of this guy, he doesn't have much field experience. He is one of the slaves that spent almost every day of his life inside the clan grounds, he didn't even come out for half a dozen times and even that time was to go look for the poison herbs he is researching.
So, I was a little intrigued on how he might have come this far without any problems so I took a deeper look at the minute details and found something.
He was given a proper route by Sivan. He was given locations and routes of the places he needs to visit and what kind of means he should use to go there."
"Then, that explains it. Sivan just gave him instructions."
"Yes, those instructions included on how to contact Sivan's spies and subordinates spread across the route and the last one of those contacts is not actually a spy. I looked through the information many times.
Sivan specifically told him that this person is not a subordinate and he is just a helper. He also told him that he wouldn't come into contact personally and there is only one way they could contact him.
Now, we have that method to contact him."
"I don't think that method would be useful at the moment though. After all, that guy should have already known about us killing this slave, so he wouldn't keep that communication method open."
"Of course, he wouldn't but I think I can find a way to get some clues out of that method of communication."
"Are you sure? I mean, the person would have most likely destroyed it by now. Do you really think you can find something from there?"
"If the method of communication is just as mentioned in his memories, then I most certainly can.
Oh, and there is another clue, but I don't know if you would be able to use it in any way."
Sam said and started writing something on a scroll.
"This is the handwriting on the letters this guy received from the spy in this place. I don't know if this would be helpful, but I think it would be a bit useful. I believe it would be better to search secretly."
Giyon frowned and started thinking she couldn't find a way to find someone based on their handwriting, but Grivon thought otherwise.
"Clan records. I think I have a way to follow this lead. I will take care of it."
He excitedly took the paper and left. Meanwhile, Giyon and Sam went to look for that clue.
Giyon's subordinates who were distributed over since she is inside the clan already came over and all of them went outside the city. They stopped at a particular place in the woods and Sam started checking the position before he finally stopped in front of a tree.
This is a big tree with a small burrow.
He climbed up the tree and looked through the burrow. After confirming that it was the tree, he immediately uprooted it and threw it inside the divine dimension fragment.
He them moved to another location where he found another tree. In that way, he uprooted a total of eight trees and after he did that, he boarded a bird type beast to get a high vantage point to take a look at the spots that were left behind by the trees.
"We are done here. Let's go back."
Giyon was a bit confused. She doesn't know what exactly Sam managed to find out, but she didn't ask. She decided to wait for him to explain it himself.
After they went back, Sam directly went to the basement and started working with the trees. He worked until the night and finally managed to get some clues.
"I got what we need."
He ran back to Giyon and said excitedly.
He then led her back to the basement and started to explain.
He currently had eight small wooden blocks placed in different positions of the room.
"The person is using the tree burrows as the nodes for a small space gate formation. So, if you reverse engineer it, you can find the coordinates of the otherside?"
"The formation was removed, there is little chance we can do that, but even if the formation is intact, it would be difficult. The formation is a bit different than normal ones.
There are some differences and one of them is that one of the burrows is the access point through which they send the objects and messages to each other.
The remaining burrows are the nodes concentrating on this one point and sending the objects away from here, there is no physical connection between the transfer point and the rest of the nodes.
The second difference is that this is not a direct space gate. This is a new method, which I didn't know existed, but if my guess is right, this formation doesn't have all the required mechanisms to act as a full fledged space gate.
It is using a normal space gate as a transit to do the work.
"What do you mean?"
"A typical space gate has several mechanisms infused into its formation. The coordinate reader, coordinate locator, nodal activator and so on, but this formation only has the nodal activator from this side and the coordinate locator which should connect to the other end is not present, instead it is replaced with a special tool which seems to be an original creation.
If my guess is right, this tool locates the space gates in the vicinity and tampers with it, in fact this formation uses very little energy and using that energy this tool tampers with the nearest space gate that is full of energy and then uses the locator and nodal activators as well as the energy of that formation to move to the other side.
Whoever did this, is a genius."
"How does this help us?"
"The range of this tool is not much. So, if my guess is right, the space gate formation is within the city.
And if my guess is right, the Gaja clan doesn't allow external space gates of other organizations within the city, the space gates must operate under their own control.
So, now we know we are looking for either a person who has access to the space gate formation mechanisms or a person who has access to the resources that could let him have a secret space gate formation.
This also explains how this guy came to your residence in the first place.
Our mystery target must have used this to bring him here.
So, piece all the information I have and think of the possible suspects."
Giyon went into a deep thought, but there are some doubts that are conflicting her judgment so she decided to clear them first.
"You have Sivan's memories, so how come you don't know who this person is?"
"That is also something bothering me. If I have to speculate, I would say this person came into contact with Sivan after the transfer of the souls, if that is the case, you can say that this person is not a spy, but rather a person who wants to go against you."
"That is slightly better. How did you find all of this through the burrows of the trees, I mean, you said that the formations are removed."
"Of course, they are removed, but there is always a downside when someone is using the natural objects as nodes.. They are bound to leave some clues down unless they destroy the object completely, but our target must have overthought somethings and under thought some other making this costly mistake."
