Sam sends the two remaining mice to the Count's house to track down the officials. Two officials who supported the two large organizations were each in the dark and the gang leader he killed even mentioned that this was not a secret in the underground circles, it's just that they don't know who those two officials are.
So Sam decided one thing, he had to deal with those two officials before he could get those two big organizations.
The two shadow mice that went to the Count's house would follow an official each for a whole week.
If the officials are clean, then they will change the target, this is what Sam thinks.
Until then, he and Jack will slowly erode the little gangs.
Midnight.
In the Arena, the great magician who recognized Sam, sat down with two people. Both are Peak Novice.
"Rank 5 Artisan Sam is here." The Great Witch who was a middle-aged man said in a low voice. The expressions of the two men changed.
"He was one of the suspects behind the removal of the Black Pool in the Falcon Cliff city. The official said that although Sam may not have been directly involved in the attack, it is possible that he made a special poison that killed our people. ."
"Maybe the culprit has asked Sam to make them this stuff and he doesn't know where the culprit is using it. After all, he was a craftsman and many people could buy things from him.
And most importantly back then he was still at Novice Level 1. There was no way he would attack all of them at the same time.
Although the poison is involved, I think there is a high possibility that at least a peak Level Beginner is involved in this.
If possible, we could even ask him who it was and investigate." A peak level beginner said.
"We will observe things for now and see why he is here and then we can decide how to proceed." The great witch then dissolved the meeting.
After the meeting dissolved, the shadowy rat in the darkness immediately left the room. Despite getting some information, he was in no hurry to report to Sam.
Sam clearly mentioned that they had to report every week and also had them gather as much information as possible.
Meanwhile, Sam was sleeping in the inn. Even though he was wealthy enough to buy a house, he wasn't that interested this time. He has some plans for his fortune and he also has to keep a low profile.
The next day Sam went into the forest and let the apes out. He still needed to activate the Ape bloodline, but it would be best if he was on the same level or higher than the ape. Then he would not have to put in much effort and risk becoming weak for days.
He was here to practice some battles with the beasts here and capture some exclusive beasts from this region to sample.
As for the apes, it is responsible for finding fruit trees and herbs.
For the next week, Sam ventured into the woods every morning. Since he was busy with other things, he didn't have enough time to train for his fight. Now he has enough time.
Every morning he's in the woods and the night he and Jack investigate the little gangs slowly.
The previous gang leader he had killed was the weakest among them and his position had already been taken over by someone else.
But he was in no hurry to bring them down.
After dealing with those two officials, he could deal with these people as casually as he wished.
And now all the shadow rats came to report to him.
After hearing the reports, he got some important news and it was the Arena was the Black Water branch in this city and they were suspicious of him.
Only then did he realize the mistake of not clearing the battlefield. He thought that, the Count would make sure to clean it up after he sent the letter as a robin hood. But now only he realizes that he didn't.
If not for him being unconscious after the battle, he might have cleared himself.
But Sam doesn't know that it's his fault. Right after he was taken away by Jack, the great magician from the nearby city had already come and looked at the battleground and reported it to the higher-ups. It happened even before he wrote a letter to Count Falcon.
But the Shadow Rat has no evidence of whether the two big gangs were part of Black water or not.
As for the two rats that followed the two officials, the officials were clean and had no ties to the other underground forces.
So Sam sent them back and he continued his daily routine.
But since he was on the Black Water suspect list, he had not been willing to show his face. So, he sent Jack to buy some at the Tiger fish contact point.
That night, Sam sees the pill Jack brought back and gives it to the ape to breathe and the ape gives a completely disgusted expression.
Why would Sam do this? Apes have another ability and that is to distinguish plants. But I don't know, the quality of herbal medicine and its usefulness that can be felt is only whether the herbs and fruits are delicious or not according to the taste and liking of apes are never wrong.
So, Sam said a few words.
"From tomorrow, collect the potion you think was used in this pill."
The ape nodded while eating a fruit that looked like a pear.
Sam left the divine dimension and thought deeply.
First, he needed to observe the effects of the medicine to see what he could do with this.
Sam had an idea of how to deal with those two big organizations. That was even if they were two organizations operating together secretly under black water, the info was definitely only known by the person in charge and the other important members.
The remaining members, all in the dark. Otherwise, the facade will easily collapse.
So, Sam wanted to use their disputes to fight each other and before that, he needed the effect of this medicine on people to see if he could use this to his advantage.
The next day, Sam went into the forest with the apes, but this time he did not practice fighting but instead followed the apes in the forest.
And at night, the apes found six plants that were thought to be part of the drug.
When they return, Sam goes to the drug point of contact, but he buys nothing but wait for the customer.
He waited until midnight and finally a young man bought some and walked away in a hurry.
Sam quietly followed him and after an hour of walking around in circles, the young man led the way to his home. As Sam silently looked inside the house, he saw the young man feeding the pill to a crazy-looking man who seemed to be in his late twenties.
After taking the pill the crazy look was gone and replaced with euphoria and ecstasy. He seemed to be in some sort of illusion as he muttered something about his love and a woman.
Sam continued to observe and when the medicine seemed to run out, the young man fed the pills again and the addict seemed to have fallen asleep instantly.
He returned to the inn and the next day, he also followed another customer and all he knew was that the addict himself had not come to buy it at all.
Everyone who comes is a relative of the addict and the effect of the drug is similar to the person he first saw.
For the first pill, they would feel euphoria and the second pill seemed to put them to sleep.
But the herbs that the apes found were not enough to cause all these effects and there was definitely some kind of special ingredient.
But Sam didn't find the last item in the next two weeks.
The reports of the three shadow rats gave him some news and it was that the organization was actually linked together by the Arena and this news seemed to be known only by three people.
But there was no news of the officials and the list was also very narrowed. There were only a few remaining officials who rose in their ranks as commoners.
All the officials from the noble families were clean. Although they are corrupt but they have nothing to do with these organizations.
In a week it will be a month since he came to this city and Sam wants to gather the info as soon as possible.
Then only he suddenly recalled the monthly report that the rats had stolen in the Falcon Cliff city and Sam immediately gave the order.
"Stole documents from all three organizations this week. Don't hoard everything, just steal some that are well placed or considered important."
The rats were doing their job and Sam was still thinking about the potion.
Since he could not think of anything, he took a walk.
