of them signed the confidentiality agreement because they understood the risks involved and knew what was at stake.

Sierra was happy with the turn of events. She had sent Gandiva over to Centeo City to acquire a Guildium. It was a stone needed to create a guild.

The Guildium records all the guild's history. It documents the guild's members, assets, earnings, contracts, alliances, and everything else involved in a guild.

Centeo city was north of Coatl and required a week to travel back and forth. Sierra planned to have the Knights acquainted with the residences, and finish their homes and shops by then.

Sierra asked Sharur, Jinggu, Sharanga, Ichaival, Thyrsus, and Vijaya to guide the Knights around Verbrannt and point them out to the designated areas where they could put up their homes or businesses.

As the multitude of assorted Knights were about to leave, Mamelon managed to get close enough to Smoke and introduced herself to him.

"Hi, my name is Mamelon. Let me just say that this is really an amazing thing that you're doing for these people and I hope that when we do conquer Coatl you remember all of those who helped."

Smoke wanted to walk away, but Mamelon had been already shaking his hand.

"Of course, the rewards will be according to the efforts and accomplishments shown by each individual. Please excuse me, you can talk to Sierra for more information about that matter."

He tried to let go of her hand, but she still held on firmly.

"There was one more thing. I haven't seen Ilad around. I was wondering where he was?"

"I sent him on a special assignment. I don't know when he'll be back."

Mamelon looked sad when she heard the news.

"He didn't accept my friend request so I couldn't call him. Can you please tell him that I'm looking for him. You know, when you get a chance to talk to him?"

Smoke nodded and forcibly freed his hand from hers.

"I'll pass on the message, but you should talk to Sierra about that as well."

Smoke hurriedly escaped into the castle.

    Smoke had decided to head back to the labyrinth and create his fourth Maneator. Together with Sierra and a select group of his private army members along with their battalions.

The members of the labyrinth expedition were Smoke, Sierra, Ichaival, Laernea, and Espion along with four-hundred-seventy-five militia members.

Adder was left in charge to take care of the residents and the Knights in Verbrannt. He had Thyrsus, Sharanga, and Vijaya to assist him.

Sharur and Jinggu were ordered to create a canal that could channel the river towards Verbrannt. The OrkElves had the Maneators; Weise, Rasant, and Stark to assist them. They also had two-hundred militia members to help them out.

With the people in Verbrannt all occupied with their own tasks. Smoke and his expedition party headed out. As they headed towards the secret exit, they made sure that none of the Knights followed them.

As a precautionary measure they headed in the opposite direction of the labyrinth's exit when they left the Verbrannt castle grounds.

After forty-five minutes they reached a structure that looked like a small hill which was covered by thick trees. Smoke stopped and directed some men to push the hanging roots aside.

An entrance with a diameter of ten feet was revealed. He ordered his men to hold the roots in place while the rest of the men entered. It looked more like an entrance to a cave from a quick glance.

As they traveled further inside, the floor and walls revealed a smooth and white marble stone. Igniz lit up the torches that some of the militia members were carrying as well as enhanced their weapons with Fire.

Smoke led the way with Igniz hovering around him. He asked the men to prepare themselves, when he saw the piled up skeletons.

These were the skeleton monsters that guarded the tunnel connected to the mausoleum and the labyrinth's exit. When they left the labyrinth they only encountered level 70 to 80 skeleton warriors,
