Chapter 851

"A Dragonspine?" Felix stood there, totally stunned. "What's going on? Wasn't I supposed to get this after six months of service?"

Xena replied with a serious expression, "Now, you understand how crucial this mission is, don't you? They wouldn't have assigned it to you if it wasn't for the fact that Guneria already has intel on most of our elite agents.

"Thanks to the Chief Commander's endorsement, they decided to give you the Dragonspine early. It should boost your power significantly, right?"

Felix brightened up. "Yeah, absolutely. This definitely improves my chances."

Though Xena maintained a poker face, Felix caught the flash of concern in her eyes. He knew she was still wrestling with what happened to Sarah, and she just could not express her feelings to him.

But Felix did not press the issue. She needed to figure this out on her own, or it would all be a

waste.

As sunset approached, the headquarters sent over the Dragonspine. The fact that Hector personally delivered it spoke volumes about its importance.

"I have other matters to attend to. We'll catch up next time." Hector was in a hurry. He left the Dragonspine with Felix and went on his way, barely stopping to exchange pleasantries.

After absorbing the Dragonspine's power, Felix smiled. His enhanced abilities gave him an extra edge in security. But one challenge remained-he had not found a single lead on the other two Dragonspines, despite having Nala dig for information.

Sometimes, these things came down to pure luck rather than effort. Maybe he would have to return and have that conversation with Billy, figure out if those dark omens were real. Still, searching on his own would be the quickest and give him the best odds of success. After the cultivation, Felix headed to Floral Wreath Boutique. He found Billy engaged in an eerily casual conversation with a paper figure.

"Man, you really don't care about owing favors anymore. You've got some serious nerve."

Felix felt somewhat sheepish. "Well, you enjoy when I owe you favors, and I need help. It's win -win, right?"

Billy pursed his lips. "So, what else do you want? I'm running out of good stuff to give you."

"Simple-I want more soul-related items.'

Since he would be dealing with that mysterious young man's ally, Felix figured he would need more spiritual weaponry. With just a small flute and being in foreign territory, extra

preparation couldn't hurt.

After a long stare, Billy went to the back room and returned with two memorial coins. "You're really pushing it! Keep these coins safe. Light them up and play the flute in dangerous situations, and it'll multiply the power." This was exactly what Felix needed.

"That's two favors you owe me.

Felix protested, "Come on! You're being stingy! How could you just give me two coins for two favors? I want five of them."

""Three coins."

"Five."

In the end, Felix left with five coins. Combined with his power boost, he felt ready to venture into Guneria.

Early the next morning, Felix departed and headed first to Yartford for a connecting flight. The journey would take over 12 hours, so it would be a proper long-haul trip.

Learning from past experience, Felix told Xena to book tickets under different names. Not a single "Felix" appeared on that flight to Guneria. This precaution aimed to prevent another escape attempt by John, too. Meanwhile, in a study at Skyward Guild, a young man knelt on the ground.

"Father! Felix Zeller shows nothing but arrogance. He doesn't respect our guild at all! Are we really going to let Patrick's death slide?"
