Ellie hummed thoughtfully to herself. A weapon with the ice elemental attached to it was expensive. Ales seemed to have the right idea, it sounded like something the cult would attempt based on what little they knew about their plans so far. At least now she knew the identity of the third victim, saving her a trip to the hospital.

As Saori approached to start clearing out the crowds, Ellie decided to depart as well. Ales had this well in hand, and she needed to start seeking information from different sources. First she would need to stop by the blacksmith's shop and requisition a list of anyone who'd bought a blade with an ice crystal attached to it.

Second...and she hoped she didn't find any conclusive evidence...she'd need to check with her own brigands and make sure none of them had acted against her express orders not to harm civilians. They would face a harsh punishment if any of them were found guilty of this crime.
