After waiting for most of the day, the induction bead, which was originally vibrating with the same intensity and frequency, suddenly weakened its reaction.

Sharp immediately thought that this meant that the goddess's robe had left its original place.

Without caring about etiquette or finding an excuse, Sharp quickly ordered his men to rush out of the mansion.

The reaction of the sensing bead became stronger again, and it guided them to the corner on the side of the mansion.

Sharp led everyone to the corner and found Jacques, whom they had been waiting for for a long time, standing there alone. He was shocked to see them, as if he had done something wrong and was caught red-handed.

"The goddess' robe is in your hand?" Sharp asked.

"Hmm? What robe?" Jacques asked with an innocent smile.

If Jacques really got the robe, as a defensive artifact, the most likely thing is that Jacques would wear it. Although it was torn in half, the power of the artifact did not decrease. As long as it was wrapped around the chest, it was still one of the most powerful defensive gear in the world.

After all, very few people are like that perverted thief. It is said that when Poseidon hit him, the thief put his robe under his nose instead of using it to protect himself...

So, there was no point in saying more, Sharp's dagger stabbed towards Jacques swiftly.

But to Sharp's surprise, the dagger pierced Jacques' chest, which meant that the robe was not on his body.

At the same time, the vibration of everyone's induction beads was rapidly weakening. Now there was no one around, even if someone ran away with the robe, it would be impossible to run so fast and so far.

Is there any connection between Jacques and the robe? Did a bird carry the goddess' robe to the roof of the lord's mansion and just fly away now?

Sharp knew that he couldn't come up with an answer in the short term, so the most urgent thing was to continue to conceal his true intentions, and also...

"Master Jacques! How did you show up here? Just now we saw a figure jumping out of the young master's room, and we thought it was a villain who wanted to harm the young master, so we acted rashly and hastily, and accidentally injured the young master. Please accept this priest's most sincere apology!"

As Sharp spoke, he gestured frantically to the priests behind him, and a large amount of healing holy water and magic were thrown at Jacques as if they were free.

"…Since it's just a misunderstanding, let's just forget about it?" Jacques was confused.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the severe pain in his chest disappeared, and he felt more energetic than before. He was very surprised that there was such a magical spell in this world. After all, this was the first time he had experienced such a miraculous treatment since he was reborn in this world. The fatal sword just now happened too suddenly, and Sharp and the others immediately rescued him, so he didn't even realize that he was almost dead.

"Paul, this guy, even brought his robe with him, and almost killed us! Sooner or later, we will have to settle this account with him!" Gandalf was also frightened: "Luckily, Mester helped just now, otherwise there would be no way to defend myself."

Jacques agreed, but was still confused about Maistre's position.

"Ahem... In order to avoid unnecessary worry for the Lord and Lady Beruni, please do not tell them about what happened just now..." Sharp requested humbly.

"Oh, of course. I don't want to alarm them. It would be troublesome if they don't allow me to participate in the trial."

"That's right, young master is wise. I heard that young master's strength has improved greatly and he has made a breakthrough in the trial, right?"

"It's a bit of progress, thank you for your concern." Jacques blinked when he saw Sharp's humble look, and continued, "I heard that the priest came early for me, I am very grateful, but I still hope that the priest can give me a little more time to pass the test first, so that my father and ancestors can rest assured."

Sharp fell silent after hearing this, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Young Master is also going to the Ruins Trial today, right?"

"Yes, every second counts, let's set off now." Jacques was eager to get rid of this guy immediately.

"I don't think I've ever been to that ruins. In which direction is it?"

When Sharp said this, Jacques secretly thought that something was wrong.

"Your Excellency the Priest, are you interested in the ruins? I can ask my father to arrange the best tour guide..." Jacques immediately put on his signature smile.

"That's not necessary. I'll trouble you to point out the general direction of the ruins for me."

Jacques had no choice but to bite the bullet and point out the location of the Chu ruins.

Sharp took out the sensor bead from his arms and placed it in his palm, then pointed in the direction of the ruins and asked Jacques, "Is this the right direction?"

Jacques nodded.

The vibration of the sensor bead became noticeably stronger.
