Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 68: A Faint Clue

A cultivator couple can be seen walking on the street while the evening light smiled on their faces. The prime demeanor was standing out in the streets. The man, who can be assumed of an age 25 or 26 walked beside a woman who was also of the same age group.

The young man's face was like a carefully sculpted masterpiece. His 6 inches long black hair seemed combed and placed well. A single lock of hair was on his face, and it gave off a matured aura. His robust and courageous face had a seriously serene expression. His towering height of 184 centimetres and his well-build of only 74 kilograms was an unimaginable feat for many males.

The sharp and envious gazes of passing by men fell on his black robe which had a few small grey daisy flower designs. At the back of his robe was a fully-developed white lotus standing proudly. It stood as a symbol of purity and enlightenment. The envious gazes turned to awe when they witnessed such skilful handiwork. The ripe aged females could not take their eyes away from his firm frame and incomparable outfit. Though the outfit was that of a cultivator, nobody noticed the absence of a weapon on him.

The young female was like a wingless incarnation of angel. Her almond eyes with fine hazel colour pupil had a magnetic pull. The flawless cheeks with dimples as she smiled, stole the hearts of men. Her small nose and pink colored thin lips were charmingly beautiful. The long black wavy hair danced in the gentle breeze as they almost touched her waist. Her perfect bosom with a foxy physique of 170 centimetres can even make the hearts of women pound wild. She barely was over 66 kilograms.

Her tempting figure was veiled by a stunning purple robe. It sheltered her torso from the neck and extended downward almost upto her heel. That full sleeve garment had many white tulips embedded on it. They were arranged in a way that it added more aesthetic beauty. Every woman had their heads turned by this fascinating sight. The innovative presence of an exemplary longsword hanging from her waist was the most unexpected feast to eyes. The greyish spreading wings of raven and the glistening trilliant diamond attracted greedy eyes. The young woman sensed unholy intentions falling on her sword and she kept her hand onto it's pommel. Many took this action as a cue to stay away as their eyes glanced through the corner at the heavenly pair.

3600 Essence harvested.

The sect disciples did not recognise Lee and An as they walked past them. The male disciples drooled at An while the female disciples' heart skipped a beat when they saw Lee. 2700 Essence was enough for a complete makeover!

An had found a secluded alley after they exited the inn. Prior to that, they told the goblin girl that they will be gone for a long time, and thus, their elder siblings would come to have the room. It was only after entering and making sure that nobody is in the visible range, did Lee use 'Alter' on himself and An.

D had marked an extensive route map for Lee an An to walk through. The course covered all the streets and most of the alleyways in the city. 98% of the city can be explored using this path. Unfortunately, not a single person related to the slave trading could be spotted. A dejected feeling crept up the faces of the husband and wife as they surveyed through the streets for about two and a half hours.

7 P.M.

3600 Essence harvested.

The Essence rate for probing into other's minds were meager, but the cost for extracting the information was comparatively large and depended on the amount of information. A total of 118 Essence was spent by probing into information clusters. Though he did not extract any information, he was slowly able to draw an outline over many informations and events going on secretly and publically. Lee would regularly transfer the information to An. If she could find a sliver of clue, that would be a great help. But till now, they have not come across any such information.

As they sluggishly walked down a street of very little people and sparse lighting, about 15 people surrounded them. Lee saw four archers hiding on the terrace of the nearby buildings, through the Map. He retracted his probing as An unsheathed her sword. 9 of them were captivated by the charm of the diamond. Using this to launch an attack, she charged forward. Her sword skills and experiences coupled with Lee's transferred memory greatly increased her battle proficiency. Those who thought that the longsword was a decorative one repented for their opinions.

The longsword's blade shone with pink hue and the opponent's swords were cut like butter. The cuts were so smooth that none felt pain or discomfort. They came to realise that they were cut when their limbs and torsos fell onto the ground.

Lee wasn't doing anything great with his thin blade. Those around him could not even force him to use both of his hands. Sometimes, rather than using the blade, he would knock them unconscious with his hand. His hands were his weapon until the archers released a volley of arrows.

The arrows flew with almost no sound. The sparse availability of lighting covered its arrival from the building tops. But Lee was above their calculations. His blade began to dance as he skillfully deflected the arrows to his surroundings and some back at the archers. His heart felt proud when one archer turned grey and immobile.

When they found Lee a tough opponent, the archers focused their aim onto An. Lee skillfully moved her out of the arrows' trajectories and towards the nearest alley. As she panted at a pace, he pulled out his bow to punish the pesky archers.

Three arrows rose high up into the sky. The arrows used the veil of darkness to rise up and become falling meteors. The three simultaneous explosions on the terraces turned the archers to grey. The explosion distracted the 6 remaining as they understood the fate of their companions. Before they could turn and run away, the nunchuck hit their face so hard they lost the consciousness.

Within a few tens of minutes, the bugs were taken care of. Lee took the 6 unconscious people into his EsGen storage. Before anyone came tracing the sound of explosion, An and Lee climbed over the buildings and saw the archers locked out. Leaving the dead, the other three were absorbed into his EsGen storage. Lee and An quickly fled the scene as they sensed a group of 4 or 5 people heading towards where they were.

The pair was still depressed as they could not find any clue on slave trades. They had completely covered the path marked on the Map, and was yet to get a single information. Their hopes were not completely lost as they expected to get something out of the goons who attacked them. The organised attack was too difficult to label as an attack of greed. The notification conveyed Lee to return back to the inn.

The goblin girl was wonderstruck by witnessing the pair's gorgeousness. An and Lee introduced themselves as the elder siblings of their previous versions. The goblin girl was caught by the beauty of An and serenity of Lee. She clumsily handed over the room 12 key as her heart pounded fiercely. An extended her hand and patted the girl's shoulder to calm her troubled mind. After a smile bloomed on the goblin girl's face, An asked her name and other simple information.

After a short and simple introduction, Lee and An left for the room. They quickly entered inside and locked the door behind them. After making sure that the place is devoid of any tracking or spying, Lee let the six goons out one after the other. An properly tied their limbs and covered their mouths and eyes with great strength.

Lee used memory probing on these brainless stupid thugs and realised that they were sent after by someone who was captived by An's beauty and her sword. Their mission was to eliminate Lee and bring An to a certain building. The exterior features of the building were old and worn out. But that building stood as a hideout for thugs and thieves in plain sight.

One of the archers surprisingly had a memory of slave trading. In it, he caught and brought a wandering beastfolk boy to an alleyway in the city. The alleyway was away from them by a kilometre. There was an inconspicuous door on the wall of one of the buildings. He knocked on the door in a pattern and slowly muttered a password. The next second, the door was opened and the archer and the boy was pulled inside before the door closed behind their backs.
