Adone was greeted by a large number of soldiers outside the prison.

"Your Highness, we made sure that they do not disturb your discussion" The captain duo walked towards him.

"You did a good job. Everyone go back to your work" He nodded towards the soldiers before walking towards his room.

He stopped after taking a few steps "Inform General Hammer that the bandit leader committed suicide in his cell"

He then continued towards his room unfazed from the surprised looks on their faces.

************

In his room, Adone was sitting on his bed trying to deduce the location of 'Lucas Bain's prison' but he didn't have any clue other than the cave near the Cliff of Despair on the Shadow Mountain.

'Every clue I have seems to point towards the cave, when I take into account that there is a large amount of dark and death essence shrouding the Shadow Mountain, it would be the best place for a necromancer to recuperate, if I skip the chaotic nature of the essence on that mountain.'

'The chaotic nature may also be a measure used by the experts to trap the Lucas Bain as the chaotic nature may be disadvantages to him or it can be a protective measure to protect the seal from the followers of Lucas Bain'

His thinking was right as the experts used the dark and death essence that was concentrated in the lair of Lucas Bain as a method to harm is followers by making it chaotic. They were not stupid enough to think that the chaotic nature of essence would stop Lich King, as they know he could easily refine the chaotic essence.

'I will check it out in the night'

He had his dinner and asked the soldier guarding his room to call the captain duo.

Soon, both the captains came in following the soldier.

"Your Highness, how can we serve you" They greeted him with a military salute as they walked in.

"Gather all the soldiers that are aware of the search for the ruins near the border as well the driver that drove the carriage on our way to the border"

Both the captains nodded "We will gather them right away"

"Do it fast and make sure that they are ready to march, we are going on a secret mission so make sure to maintain the secrecy of the gathering"

"Yes, your highness" The duo left to make preparation for the march.

Adone also waked out of his room and went towards the meeting room, to meet General Hammer.

General Hammer was talking with other military officials about the 'alleged' suicide of the bandit gang leader but there was no way that they could question a member of Royal Family, let alone question the second prince who was the only witness of the whole incident, so they could only suppress the situation.

"General Louise Hammer, we need to talk" Adone barged in without bothering about the discussion that they were having about him, after all, what can they do to him even if he killed the bandit leader and who in their right mind would think that a nine year old child could kill a stage 1 cultivator, even if his cultivation was suppressed.

Adone looked towards the military officials, understanding him from his tone and action, all left him and General Hammer alone in the meeting room.

"I am going to the ruins of the abandoned village of Elves with a few men, to see how Elves used to live during that time"

"I don't want to bother many people and cause a commotion so I will be leaving in the night and hopefully I will return by tomorrow morning or till tomorrow evening if we are late"

General Hammer stared at the kid in front of him, who came here to inform him.

"I will make preparations for your departure"

"It's not needed, I have already ordered the soldiers to gather in secrecy as the fewer people know about my sightseeing tour the better, at least my leisure time won't be cut short by foolish people trying to lick my boots" Adone said while looking that the General.

"Also inform my brother about my tour, I don't want to disturb his cultivation"

"I will make sure that his highness, the first prince is informed about this as soon as he stops his cultivation" General replied.

Adone nodded then asked with a little-embarrassed look "General Hammer, do you have a spare storage ring? Mine is with my brother as I can't use it without cultivation. I will ask the elder brother to pay for it when I return. Captains can help me when I need to store anything"

General looked at the embarrassed prince in front of him with a smile on his face "I don't have a spare storage ring but you can have mine, I will give it to you after I have emptied its content"

Hearing General's words Adone was even more embarrassed.

He was an infamous scientist in his previous life who never owed anyone anything and in his present life he was a prince so this was his first time asking someone for something except for his Grandfather from the previous life and his family in his current life.

He rushed out of the room with wait a second after getting the spatial ring from General Hammer.

He went back to his room and stored few clothes along with the demonic core of the Demonic Thunder Lion with help of the soldier who stood outside his room on guard duty.

The two little cubs were still sleeping, so he gave them to the General so that he can take care of him in his absence.

After ensuring the safety of cubs, he was escorted by the captain duo to the gathering place, from where they were supposed to start the journey towards the ruins of the Elvis village.

Upon reaching the location of gathering he was astonished to see that there were only twenty-nine soldiers including the carriage driver.

"You two did a great job in maintaining the secrecy of the mission, I thought there would be at least fifty men, when we return to the capital after this journey both of you will be living a life of wealth and riches" He complimented the duo, then continued "Let's move, if we begin the journey early we can reach our destination early and have more time to look around"

"Yes, your highness. Soldiers take your positions in the formation, we will be moving out"

Soldier stated to take their positions, forming a defensive formation around Adone's carriage.

Adone hopped in his carriage and the entourage started to move in the darkness of night but they were not using any torches for light and that would give their location to others.

They were relying on their heightened eyesight's as well as heightened hearing that was the result of cultivation as light and dark essence heightens eyesight, air and earth heighten hearing, water and fire enables cultivators to feel the difference in temperature of the surrounding area, life and death enables cultivators to sense life and death.

As for lightening essence, it enhances eyesight and hearing and derived essence acts like their basic essence from they are derived.

In a broad way, every type of essence enhances the senses of the cultivator in different ways.

So it was counterproductive for them to use torches in the night, though this could not be said for Adone.
