"I think I have one." The manager took another map from her room. It was a similar map, but with a few markings near Creek Village. "Please take a look at this."

They all glued their eyes on Creek Village. The manager pointed at the marker not far from Creek Village.

"There is actually a small tunnel in this place. One of our customers is actually the first young master of Count Heirden. When he was drunk, he told us that there was a secret passage leading to the other side of the mountain. They actually took advantage of the steep mountain and built a tunnel underneath it. This way, anyone that tried to pursue them would have to loop around the mountain, which would take a significant amount of time."

"!!!" Noel and Anna widened their eyes. They recognized how important this information was.

"How can I say this… You are truly good." Noel scratched the back of his head, praising the manager.

"We'll do our best to gather the information. Besides, all the girls are working together. So, I don't deserve your praise."

Noel smiled and said to Anna, "In that case, we'll check the passage first. There might be a chance that we have to use it. Of course, we need to locate and map the passage. We might be able to find a spot where we can dig to turn it into our escape route."

"That's indeed the case."

"I'll try to delay the movement of the Demon Banner Army," Noel added.

"In that case, I'll locate the passage." Anna nodded in agreement.
