Chapter 777

Once Felix left, there was no reason for anyone else to stay. They all knew finding the Frost Crystal was crucial. Without it, everything else would be pointless.

Craig's departure was particularly awkward. Even with the Frost Crystal, his skills weren't sufficient to fully cure Dane. The gap in medical expertise was just too wide.

On his way back, Felix was about to call Seven when he remembered Mira's recent call. That unknown number might still be active.

He was running out of options, and his resources were extremely limited in comparison to the resources were extremely limited in comparison to the Greenes'. Without Mira's help, even if the Frost Crystal still existed somewhere, the Greenes would have far better chances of finding it.

"Felix."

Felix sighed with relief when he heard Mira's voice on the line. "I thought you might have ditched this number."

"I was about to, then you called." Contacting Mira would be much more reliable than dealing with Averill, who would probably just show up at his place trying to get him into bed again.

"Mira, I need to reach Eloise. I have something important to ask her," Felix said.

Mira sounded intrigued. "Oh? Is it something so crucial you need Eloise? Are we not capable enough to help you?"

Felix grimaced. "I'd ask all of you for help, but Mr. Hoffman would have my head."

Just asking for Mira's help already went against Gerald's orders, so involving all of his fellow apprentices would be asking for trouble.

"I can help you contact Eloise, but you have to tell me if this is about the Dragonspine. After a moment's hesitation, Felix told the truth. "Yes.

"Then I'm sorry, but none of us can help you with the Dragonspine. It's Mr. Hoffman's absolute order, and not one of us dares to cross that line!

"Listen, given my position at the headquarters, I could technically get the Dragonspine and hand it to you. But there's a reason we're making you serve for half a year instead. It's all because of Mr. Hoffman's order." Felix could not believe the situation he was in. Gerald's requirements seemed impossibly contradictory.

"Mr. Hoffman says everything follows cause and effect, especially with the Dragonspine. There could be future consequences if you don't have a deep enough connection to it. I don't quite understand the specifics myself."

After hearing her words, Felix paused and thought it through. Looking back, this had been true for every piece of the Dragonspine. Even the one he had acquired by force had come through his own circumstances and had nothing to do with others.

"If that's how it is, forget it. I'll handle it myself. After hanging up, he reached out to his network, though selectively. He avoided contacting people like George or Ryan, as the Greenes could easily trace those connections back to him, Direct confrontation with the Greenes wasn't an option right now.

Back home, Xena called. Felix did not think much of it. Their relationship was strictly professional now, with no sign of improving. Sure enough, she started speaking to him as if she were talking to Alistair.

"Felix, the headquarters has assigned you a mission. I don't want to hear any excuses about prior commitments. Being a Dragon Knight means understanding priorities."

Felix did not know what to say. He hadn't even tried making excuses. "Go on."

"There have been strange occurrences in a small village. Investigate, but don't disturb the locals. Report any findings immediately, and don't act rashly."
