"That's right, is there anything I can do for you? Sato -sama. "
Seeing Kaede Sato suddenly speak to him so kindly, Thomas, who understood the current situation, instantly understood Kaede Sato's meaning. He quickly nodded and said with a sincere expression.
"Very good, I have a very good plan that needs your help. Yes, our next target is our common enemy, Ranka."
"But first, you have to tell me which direction your other comrade who managed to escape ran off to. Where is the rendezvous point that you have agreed on? "
"Also, do you know how many contestants there are at that place?"
Seeing Thomas being so tactful, Kaede Sato was very happy. The smile on his face became even brighter. He nodded kindly to Thomas, and then began to throw out questions one by one.
Now that he was on someone's chopping block, Thomas, who had crawled all the way from the bottom of society to where he was now, naturally knew what he had to do. Therefore, he answered almost all of the questions.
On the surface, Kaede Sato treated this old fox Thomas kindly, but in reality, he was secretly on guard against him. He returned the Flaming Stallion and Haeruka back to Thomas, and as for the other items, he kindly accepted them.
Of course, in order to make Thomas work hard, Kaede Sato also promised him that as long as the matter was completed, he would return the number plate and other items "intact".
Thomas knew why Kaede Sato wanted to find out the whereabouts of his other comrade who escaped successfully. Kaede Sato didn't want Maitor's number plate to fall into Ranka's hands, and thus increase his power.
At the same time, Kaede Sato also wanted to snatch Maitor's number plate before Ranka found him.
In fact, Thomas and the others had already thought of what they would do if they failed. However, this was on the premise that all three of them successfully escaped unscathed. If one of them was captured, then the rendezvous point would be abandoned.
Thomas and Maitor both saw their comrade fall into Ranka's hands, so they naturally wouldn't choose to rendezvous at the rendezvous point.
So, Thomas didn't know where Maitor was now. The only thing he knew was that he escaped to the north. But so much time had passed, and it was hard to say where Maitor was now in the north.
After Kaede Sato heard Thomas' words, he decisively gave up on the idea of snatching Maitor's number plate. Now that time was tight, he couldn't waste it looking for Maitor like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, sharpening the axe would not delay the work of cutting firewood. He now had to gather the three conditions to deal with Lanca Boscodora. Only when these three conditions were met could he start the plan.
These three conditions corresponded to the three Elves, they were respectively the Hidden Dragon, Gotard, and the Lazy.
As for why Kaede Sato chose these three Elves, it naturally had to do with their moves and skills and abilities.
In Kaede Sato's plan, as long as these three elves gathered together, they would be able to erupt with a huge amount of energy, enough to topple Super Boscodora.
Among the three conditions, Kaede Sato already had the Hidden Dragon, which was the core of the plan, and the Lazy was very easy to find. Kaede Sato had been to the Lazy Forest before, but the Gotard was a little harder to find.
Kaede Sato didn't tell Thomas his plan. He gave Thomas a Dimensional Backpack that only contained a Pokeball and some food, and ordered Meihua to heal his Flame Horse. He then ordered Thomas to go to the Lazy Forest in the east to capture a Lazy.
At the same time, Kaede Sato also told Thomas that as long as he succeeded in capturing the Lazy, he should immediately go to the foothills of Mount Kentero to meet him.
Now that the number plate and the special device to contact the base had fallen into Kaede Sato's hands, if Thomas still wanted to participate in the competition and safely leave the mysterious island, he could only obediently follow Kaede Sato's orders.
Thomas was a smart person. He didn't want to be eliminated, but he also wanted to leave the island safely. So when he received Kaede Sato's order, he immediately rode his Flame Horse and galloped towards the Lazy Forest.
"Smart man."
Kaede Sato saw Thomas execute his order without bargaining. When the other party completely disappeared from his sight, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He slightly praised Thomas's tactfulness in his heart.
If Thomas had the slightest intention of bargaining just now, he would not hesitate to kill Thomas here and now.
After all, Ranka's hatred for him was much higher than Thomas'. Plus, Ranka had offered a sky-high reward for him. If Thomas turned around and sold him off, he would be in deep trouble.
However, from the looks of it, this normal Rocket member named Thomas was very smart and ambitious. He was unwilling to be eliminated just like that. Even if Kaede Sato might go back on his words, he still chose to do it.
Because of this, Kaede Sato slightly lowered his guard against Thomas. He was afraid that Thomas would be stubborn without any desires. Such people were the hardest to control.
Now that Thomas obviously didn't want to be eliminated by Kaede Sato, Kaede Sato controlled Thomas' number plate and the special device to return to the base, it was the same as controlling him.
Not long after Thomas left, Kaede Sato also began his journey to find Gotard duck. As for the original plan to capture the flying mantis, the situation had changed, so he could only temporarily put it aside.
In this plan, the Gotard duck was the second most important preparation condition. Among the Bloodline Skills he would obtain after leveling up, he had an important means to help Kaede Sato defeat Ranka Boscodora.
In fact, according to Kaede Sato's plan, he didn't really need to find a Gotard duck to complete the plan. He could also find a Keda duck, but for insurance, it was better to catch a high-level Gotard duck.
Although Gotard ducks and Keda ducks were amphibious elves, they basically lived in areas close to water sources most of the time.
But what troubled Kaede Sato was that whether it was Gotard ducks or Keda ducks, their habitat was not fixed. His map did not clearly mark the waters where Gotard ducks and Keda ducks lived.
Kaede Sato had seen a high-level Gotard duck in the Sharp Fangfish River before, which gave him a direction to look for. But what made him suspicious was that in that battle, he did not see a single Keda duck from beginning to end.
From this, it could be seen that the number of Keda ducks in the Sharp Fangfish River must be very small. This was not surprising. Compared to the intelligent Gotard ducks, the Keda ducks that often had headaches were not smart elves. Their reactions were slow and they would often be in a daze.
A large number of Sharp Fangfish lived in the Sharp Fangfish River, so it was difficult for Keda ducks to survive there.
In the end, after thinking about it again and again, Kaede Sato gave up the option of going back to the Sharp Fangfish River to look for Gotard ducks. He finally chose to look in the direction of the north. The area he was now in should be a place called Dazed Flower Forest.
According to the map, there was a tributary of a big river called Crescent River in the north of Dazed Flower Forest, and this big river from the central area had many tributaries. These tributaries almost ran through all the surrounding areas.
In fact, the Sharp Fangfish River that Kaede Sato saw before was also one of the tributaries of the Crescent River. To be precise, it should be a tributary of a tributary.
Therefore, Kaede Sato thought that he could find the footprints of Gotard ducks in these waters.
Of course, the reason why he chose to go north was actually because he wanted to seize the number plate from Thomas's other temporary ally, Myrtle.
In this plan to deal with Lanka, if he could have the trump card of Gado Giant Swamp Monster in his hand, his chances of success would be higher.
