The High Priest walked towards Lama's location.

Seeing this scene, two tribe members immediately followed him, preparing to offer protection for the esteemed High Priest.

But the High Priest did not accept this protection.

Instead, he waved his hand and sent the two protectors back to where the tribe members were.

At this moment, deep down in the High Priest's heart, there was a vague premonition.

This conversation with Lama is best conducted between the two of them. If other tribe members were to come and hear their dialogue, it might lead to unforeseen troubles.

Thus, the High Priest walked out with steady steps.

Ronald, who was protected by a spell of confusion and unnoticed by anyone, followed behind him, and they went out together.

...

Lama was right at the entrance of the migratory camp.

The great demon knew that rashly intruding into someone's camp amidst internal chaos would bring great trouble and suspicion, so he stayed on the spot, waiting quietly for the migratory people's reaction.

As the High Priest's figure slowly appeared in the darkness.

Lama seriously scrutinized the human elder walking towards him, sensing a strong aura around him, something he had never felt in previous encounters.

Perhaps in times of crisis, this High Priest used some secret magic?

Lama inferred in his heart and continued to observe. After confirming there was nothing unusual on the other, he slightly relaxed.

As the leader of the migratory people, this High Priest was one of the few who could communicate normally.

"Mr. Lama, coming to us so late must be to understand the conflicts happening within the camp, right?"

At this time, the High Priest was the first to speak.

Out of normal logical thinking, he naturally assumed that the great demon's late-night visit was to figure out the battles occurring in the settlement—how could a Governor ignore such a sword-wielding incident near their sleeping quarters?

Unfortunately, the High Priest guessed wrong.

Although Lama also noticed the commotion from the camp, it was not yet at the stage that required immediate action.

The reason Lama came at midnight.

Ultimately, it was due to discoveries made earlier by Ronald and Catherine.

Thus, the great demon took a step forward, and only after getting close enough did he lower his voice and say:

"High Priest, my purpose tonight is indeed related to your tribe. But I'm sorry, it's not concerning this regrettable conflict."

"!"

The High Priest's expression suddenly changed.

Throughout his experience with Hamono city, he had somewhat understood the nature of its people.

Without a major upheaval, they would never dispatch such elite forces to the camp at night.

And now the person before him...

Now says his purpose here is not for the camp's conflict...

The most likely outcome is there's an unknown crisis brewing in secret!

Realizing the crisis he and his tribe members currently face.

The High Priest knew there was no time to hesitate, so he immediately set off with Lama toward the nearby woods.

After the two, Ronald also naturally followed slowly.

Ronald now could use his spell abilities to forcibly remove the confusion magic Catherine cast on him and make Lama aware of his presence.

But seeing the complicated and serious expressions of the High Priest and Lama now.

Ronald still did not take immediate action.

He continued to let the confusion magic take effect, standing like a transparent person beside the two discussing.

At this moment, the High Priest happened to ask:

"Mr. Lama, is there another problem in our camp?"

Lama came with the Summoner's will, so he naturally used the pre-arranged words:

"High Priest, the reason for my visit is actually due to a matter concerning summoning creatures."

"And to my shame, this responsibility should have fallen on the people of Hamono, but unexpectedly affects your tribe's safety..."

Under the night, beneath an oak tree.

Lama narrated the information about the invaders from another world.

Ronald stood aside as the first to obtain the information, quickly confirming that Lama's account to the High Priest did not contain any lies but revealed almost all vital messages genuinely.

This further proved one point—

Hamono's attitude was indeed as they claimed, treating outsiders with goodwill, even treating migratory people similarly.

However, as the conversation delved deeper.

Ronald, quietly listening to the information, eventually frowned.

Because according to Lama, the Caster's investigation in Hamono failed in the end.

The summoning creatures responded faster than expected, so when the patrolling personnel arrived at the post office worker's house, the person already vanished, even erasing any sign of departure.

Finally, with the information provided by the city guard personnel.

The people learned this individual chose to leave the city the moment the fire broke out at the Environment Management Department tonight.

Even though Hamono reacted swiftly, they ultimately lagged a step behind.

And at this moment, seeking this person's trace in the vast forest is undoubtedly more difficult than reaching the heavens!

"This is troublesome..."

Under the confusion magic, Ronald sighed.

The one who knows the list now ran away, wanting to root out the intruder's spy lurking in the migratory camp is nearly an impossible task.

The only practical solution Ronald thought of now.

Is to call Catherine back, then both use domination magic for investigation.

And to ensure the precision of the spell effect.

Like before, large-scale controlling actions won't work, investigations must be conducted one by one individually.

Even though the migratory tribe recently suffered a brutal loss of population.

Given the number of people left, it remains a dauntingly tedious task.

During the process, one careless mistake.

The enemy hiding here will find a way to escape or even make crisis-controlling moves.

In such a helpless yet urgent situation, Ronald even considered a less humane decision.

—The invaders from another world are certainly not human.

—But creatures summoned to this world.

Can't it be straightforward, directly handle them in one undiplomatic move?

"..." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Thinking of this.

Ronald shook his head with some self-mockery.

Such an act would inevitably slaughter numerous innocents, not to mention whether he could do it, at least the kind-hearted people of Hamono absolutely wouldn't support such a decision.

To truly uncover the invaders lurking among migratory tribe members.

He and Catherine probably have no choice but to keep putting effort and time into 'overtime' here.
