*Creak!*

A sound of the bending wood echoed in the silent house. Although the house was still intact, there were numerous items scattered on the ground. It was clear that the house had been ransacked.

Noel, searching for the clues about the map, entered this house with precaution. Despite this house being the seventh house he investigated, he didn't lower his guard, thinking the potential of a small demon left behind by the bandits.

'Still, this is a quite full house. Looking at the papers that are scattered around, it's clear that this person knows how to read and write. But because of the mine operation, there are a few records about the mine, making this village have a better literacy skill than the rest.' Noel thought while roaming around the house.

Suddenly, he stumbled upon a small box on the ground. It was already half opened, so he approached the box and opened it.

The inside was only a two sheets of paper, overlapping each other. Due to the position of the box and the paper, Noel knew this box had a quite amount of jewelries before. But now, there were only these two rolled paper left.

Still, the fact they were in this box meant the paper was quite important.

He took out the paper and opened it before gasping. "Got it."

As expected, the paper was related to the mine. The first paper was a map of the mine while the second one was the deed of the mine.

Unfortunately, before he could look at the map thoroughly, Anna entered the house while saying in a low voice. "Noel. Follow me."
