Chapter 178 (1/2)

”You mean that carriage?”

The leader of the caravan was startled by the sudden appearance of Loren, swallowed his saliva and stared at him: ”no, nothing, just some broken promises and spices, nothing special. What's the problem?”

”Nothing, just ask casually.” he shrugged his shoulders slightly, and the black haired wizard didn't continue to study further: ”you don't have to tell me everything, sir.”

It's just a few dead bighorn deer. It's impossible to attract hundreds of ghouls and even attack humans for food - there must be something else in the camp that attracts these monsters.

And there should be nothing else that can attract their attention except the things in these carriages. Now that the caravan has left the Principality of lottel, it can still be attacked by ghouls, which proves that these monsters are following up all the way, rather than having their nest somewhere nearby.

But there was no point in asking. Lauren glanced at the caravan leader, who was still staring at him warily - even if he asked, I'm afraid he wouldn't speak.

Obviously, this caravan is different from what I imagined. It seems to hide a lot of secrets. The dark haired wizard sighed gently. Since a long time ago, his long-distance journey has not been smooth.

Is Asriel actually some kind of evil god of bad luck, or a strange goblin that will suck away other people's luck?

”Dear Loren, how can you slander me like that?” the boy's unhappy voice sounded in his mind.

”Can you hear what I'm thinking?”

”No, you probably never noticed. Every time you want to complain about me, it's all an expression.”

“……”

”What do you think we should do now?” the leader of the caravan looked at Loren with hope, and the caravan guards around gathered one after another. After a few words of entanglement with a teenager, Loren quickly said:

”Ghouls are social creatures, so there must be their temporary nests nearby. If we can find them, we can eliminate them all at once.

Of course, it will be more dangerous - the sky is about to darken. This monster has a very powerful night vision. If we are not careful, we will be caught and eaten by them one by one. After all, there are hundreds of them, several times our number.

Another way is that we hurry all night and leave here as soon as possible. These monsters don't adapt to the environment outside the Principality of lottel. If we catch up for a while, they won't continue. ”

Speaking of this, Loren, who looked at the caravan leader intentionally or unintentionally, deliberately raised his voice: ”what's more, since they have found the reason for chasing us, just throw away the bodies of these bighorn deer.”

”Yes, just throw away these bodies.” the leader of the caravan nodded again and again. It was a pity to look at the dead bighorn deer and bite his teeth: ”break off their horns and throw away the remaining rotten meat. It's not worth a lot of money anyway!”

The caravan guards around breathed a sigh of relief and congratulated themselves that they didn't have to fight these damn Monsters - even if they knew that they were afraid of fire, it didn't mean that these monsters were not terrible.

As for Loren, he can directly blow up these ghouls and their nests with the ”Turin fire”, but since the other party doesn't ask, he is also happy to be free. After defeating mazka, it's a little hard for him to use this high-level magic spell.

Moreover, since even Asriel felt a certain danger, a certain degree of vigilance was also necessary. If you hide some strength when you don't need it, you may be able to save your life at the critical moment.

At the suggestion of the dark haired wizard, the determined caravan leader finally chose to go all night. The surrounding men and servants immediately began to pack up, and the caravan guards who had just finished the battle quickly put away their tents, put on their luggage and prepared to go.

Although all the work of a busy afternoon is wasted, this sweat is nothing compared with fighting with a group of cannibal monsters. After cleaning the camp, the caravan set off again against the moon that had been hanging in the sky.
