The moment Grayson's name was mentioned, Elder Maurice's expression changed. His eyes narrowed while his head leaned back a little. Fane looked at him and was sure that Elder Maurice knew about Grayson.
Fane furrowed his eyebrows as he said seriously, "I'm very curious. Where is Grayson right now? Is he still alive? Even though I didn't really have a good relationship with him, we still entered Phoenix Valley at the same time.
"The three of us went through some things. After entering Phoenix Valley, only he disappeared. I really want to know why he disappeared. Does it have anything to do with me?"
Elder Maurice sighed helplessly, "If he doesn't really have a good relationship with you, then you shouldn't look into this anymore. He's already been completely locked up."
"Why was he locked up?" Fane could not stop himself from raising his voice a little. The question had been in Fane's head for a long time.
Why was Grayson the only one locked up after what they went through? Elder Maurice looked at Fane helplessly. There were some things he was not supposed to mention.
However, He could very well lose Fane's trust if he did
not tell the truth. To Elder Maurice, Fane was worth a lot more.
Thinking about it for a long time, he chose to answer in the end, "I've heard about what happened to you. When you were first supposed to enter Phoenix Valley, you were ambushed midway.
"Two deacons even lost their lives. We captured Grayson because of that, "After saying that, Fane was noticeably excited.
He wanted to raise his voice to ask why, but Elder Maurice did not give him the chance. Elder Maurice sighed before saying, "Grayson was the one who leaked your journey."
Even Grayson and Rudy were just somewhat talented alchemists. They were no one notable at all.
Since Grayson was the person to leak it, then Grayson should not have been the reason for the ambush.
Then, it must have been because of Rudy. Yet, after interacting with Rudy for so long, Fane did not feel like Rudy had anything about him that was worth assassinating.
Rudy was incredibly ordinary as an alchemist and horrible as a fighter. He did not come from a notable family either. So, Fane could not figure out why anyone would want to kill Rudy.
After so long thinking about it, he was forced to conclude that the reason they were ambushed was because of the two deacons that died. They must have had a secret they were hiding.
