Crystal City Shop
That night, it was shop closing time. I had met with the guests. No one else was coming at the moment, so I told my staff to close down.
After doing that, I went back to my room. I waited near the window for the Zero Puppet to arrive. I was sure it must have collected some information.
I wanted to know the moves of these hostile forces before anyone else. I waited until midnight.
Swoosh!
Right then, dark red smoke entered through the gap in the window. It appeared inside the room, and the smoke then became the Zero Puppet.
"Master," the puppet greeted me.
"Do you have enough mana stones?" I asked.
"Yes," it replied.
I sat down on the bed and started listening to the intel reports. This time, the Zero Puppet had found even more information.
I had thought it would find some hidden enemies wanting to attack me, but I never expected the puppet to discover a plot as well.
