On the way, the new party visited the crash site, or what reht find so he found there was scrap oblins that they luckily cleared out without that much of a problem

While here, Roland looked up to the mountain above them He could not see the path froht in the e that limited his vision

His new party members explained that they were the only survivors that remained They had buried so with souards

Roland could still see soone, probably down in the goblin bellies There was nothing else to do here so they continued on their merry way

The place where they were in was deep down inside a gorge The rocky walls were quite smooth and would be hard to climb The further up you went theup was out of the question

Luckily there was a path next to a river down here that they could follow The biggest downside of this path was that there were a lot ofhere It was also a path that stretched around the mountain and would take them a lot more time to cross

This was also the reason why the caravan owners decided on going over the mountain as it cut the travel time down by a couple of days

The scenery down here was composed mostly of trees and bushes It was over a kilometer in width and the river in thehere Just like any other animals, monsters flocked to areas with a water source The huoat-like monsters were just one of the many types that roaether quartet of people had now traversed a couple of kiloh thisat one of his wands that had run out of charges after a couple of encounters

He looked at thethe lady elf The man was like a nanny that somehoasn’t able to take more than one step away froo away

The otherforce that was the half-orc always ran into battle with a smile on his face He constantly broke for on a lies and was afraid that he would run out of juice soon

He didn’t say anything at first, thinking that they would get a grip on the situation Instead, they just continued with this strategy, ht that he would pick up the slack with his spell-slinging They e were li serious now?”

Roland’s face twitched as he looked at Logon exaht next to the healed by the acolyte He had, even more bite and claw marks on his body than usual

“What do you on replied while Aredhel scooted to the side, the wo her as well

“Do you tant to get us all killed or so?”

Roland crossed his arreen skin

“Will she go up in flaon turned around to face Roland, the youth was squinting his eyes in his direction and certainly looked annoyed

“With all due respect Mr Carmine I am thankful for your help but I can not abandon lady Aredhel What if some creature sneaks up on the defenseless lady! I could not live withhappened to her! I promised to protect her with my life! I need to return her safely to her fahtly as the ue towards him His eyes were bloodshot and it looked like he was close to blowing a fuse Maybe the shock of not being able to protect this elven lady had been tooparanoid

“Oh, will you be quiet!”

Before Roland could think about a good retort to stop this babbling idiot of a swordson an open hand smack to the back of the head

“MM’lady?”

Theshouts He slowly turned around to see Aredhel with both her hands on her hips She had her face slightly raised and her eyebroere furrowed

“Stop causing trouble for Mr Carh to rid us of those slave collars and even saved us twice!”

Roland just took a step back while the silver-haired elven wo her bodyguard whilethat the three of them would be already dead if he didn’t intervene

The first ti where he threwThe other one when he took care of the hobgoblin when Logon got wounded

“I… I’y, Mr Carize He took his lady's words to heart almost instantly Roland realized that it would probably be better to just talk to Aredhel instead if he wanted to get things done The woer, she was even the one that could control that half-orc

Roland wasn’t sure but he had an idea why this was the case When he was re the slave color he did analyze Aredhel’s stats She had a high charisma stat above twenty points

Charisma was counted differently than other stats It didn’t reach that high of a nue nu above that indicated so was 24 and even he noticed its effects

It ht have been so Luckily Roland had a high willpower stat to counteract this He had read up that a person with really high charise ways It was as if they were casting a mind control spell, if the person was susceptible to it they would perform tasks that they wouldn’t normally do

There were also soe Bards were one type of class that relied on it, some could even enchant people with their voices There were also monsters like an Incubus or a Succubus that led adventurers astray Sodoms and empires They could affect people in power to the point of irl here wasn’t quite at that level though, at htly affect these two
