Elena brought Cremonia back to their base. Dalia and Eldriana had already returned from their trip to the dungeon and were waiting for Elena to come back. After returning to the base, Elena explained the situation to both of the girls. As Dalia and Eldriana were busy with their own training, she was not going to involve them in this incident. So she told them to just focus on their own training and informed them that she was going to be busy for the upcoming days so if they needed to contact her, they should use the magic item she had given them instead of looking for her in the base.

Eldriana had her mission for the whole week so Elena did not need to give her any extra assignment, but Dalia had already completed her assignment so she needed a new one. Elena also had to give her the reward that she promised. But first Elena checked the way Dalia completed the mission and gave her a rating. For this current assignment she was given a B+ which was actually a very good result.

So according to this score, Dalia would not only be eligible to get the promised reward but she would also get something extra. Elena immediately took out the reward she had promised to give her. It was a seed for a special kind of fire called "True Rejuvenation Sun Flame". This type of fire was what most of the Alchemists wanted badly. This flame had the effect of increasing the quality of any alchemical ingredients used in the process. That way the final product would always be one or two grades better than the garden that product was going to be without the support of this flame. This special fire did not have any effectiveness in combat as it was just slightly hotter than normal fire. But for alchemy it was like a cheat code.

Seeing the beautiful golden fire giving off a very sacred feeling, Dalia eyes lit up and her heart was filled with joy. So much so that she was currently smiling in a very sloppy manner unlike her normal proper self. She had never even imagined that she would get a chance to see this legendary flame let alone get one for her own personal use. It was like a fantasy and she was unable to believe that it was real.

Then Elena coughed slightly to bring her back to reality and handed her the extra reward. It was a flower with petals of five different colours of red, blue, green, yellow and grey. Seeing this Dalia's eyes widened again. It was a race flower called the "Five Coloured Elemental Unity Flower". This was a very valuable and rare flower that could be found in both RASHTROYNI and DAMIOS world. That meant it was a universally recognised flower. This was not as valuable as the flame seed obviously but still it was something that any and all alchemists would want to touch at least once in their life.

Seeing Dalia satisfied with the rewards, Elena gave her an encouraging smile and gave her the next mission. For this mission, she needed to make a research report about a living being called the Queen Soluter. This insect lived in a semi dangerous part of the forest, but as Dalia needed to make a report about it, she had to stay close to it to observe it for quite some time, which made the job quite a challenging one. Then Elena left the base again with Cremonia alongside her.

...

After leaving the base, Elena started walking toward a certain direction. Cremonia followed behind her and asked where they were going next. When Elena was talking with Dalia and Eldriana, Cremonia was waiting alone in the drawing room of the base. So she was quite bored and wanted to start a conversation with Elena.

Elena told her that when the two other men ran away, she was able to plant a hidden tracking rune on them when that dodged her binding attacks. After running around the whole time to throw away any trail behind, those two were soon going to return to their main base to report. Just like that Elena was able to find the main base of the culprits without using any special or broken abilities.

The main base of the slave trading group turned out to be a general store located at the outer parts of the city. But this location was quite good not as a market area but as a place with an easy to build security system.

But the actual main base was located not inside this general store. Actually this place was just a door that had a hidden underground passage that led directly to the main base of the slave trading group.

Elena and Cremonia waited in a tavern while those two men were going toward their base. Elena was remotely observing them while Cremonia was trying to contact some fellow knights staying in this city. She wanted to increase their groups overall powers as just having two people was very risky. Elena had no problems with more people joining them so she let Cremonia do whatever she wanted.

Soon the men reached the main base. That place was located inside a forest. It was also hidden by using several methods including runes so without knowing the secret path, it was very hard for anyone to find this place. Elena marked the location of the base on a map and handed it to Cremonia.

Immediately Cremonia told her fellow knights about this and they all decided to meet up in a restaurant which was ran directly under the royal knight core to serve as a secret base of operation for them. Elena also followed Cremonia to that restaurant.

...

After meeting up with everyone Elena saw that other than Cremonia all the other three royal knights were male. Among them two were almost at the same level as Cremonia but the last person was stronger than her and was at level 378. It was actually not a very high level for royal knights and all of them were regular royal knights sent in this city for preliminary investigations just like Cremonia.

All three of them immediately started to complain about many things after seeing Cremonia. Like how she was trying to act like their leader or how she was trying to overstep her duties. Instead of getting ready for the upcoming battle, they started to blame her for many things and were wasting time.

Elena was quite disappointed in them. As leveling up to level 300 in this world was easier, quite a few were able to reach this level even with having several character flaws. In RASHTROYNI, any people above level 300 were S rankers who had experienced a lot of things and had a distinct personality, be it good or bad. But these knights on the other hand had the personality of a child.

While berating Cremonia, one of the knights also noticed Elena and started to blame Cremonia for bringing an outsider to the secret base. Then he tried to act like a responsible knight and tried to grab Elena. With the lust visible in his eyes it was evident that responsibility was the last thing in this mind. And that was a big mistake.
