Chapter 26: Vael’s Suspicion [2.]
Later that day, Elias came down carrying a large slab of Dire Wolf meat along with some other cooking supplies in his arms.
The group stirred as he called out to them.
"You all must be hungry. This is meat from a Dire Wolf I hunted myself. It should be enough for everyone. Cook it well and eat. You’ll need the strength."
Kael stepped forward and gave a slight bow. "We’re grateful, Lord Elias. Truly."
Elias waved his hand casually with a small grin. "Just eat and recover."
A woman, probably the caravan’s cook, stepped forward shyly and took the meat with a low bow. Elias gave her a nod.
"I’ll leave it to you, then."
He turned and began walking back toward the house, with Vael silently following behind.
It was time to complete the system’s daily quest.
