Chapter 357: The Power to Hide a City
“I’m sorry, sir, but the road ends here. All that I can find is a clearing to camp the night in if we really want to, but honestly, I think we should press on and see if what you’re looking for is farther down the road.”
Max could see the way their driver, Blake, was shifting. His head constantly turned to look down the road and in the direction he wanted to go. His gray hair was cut short, the only measure of how old the man Everett charged with watching them was.
I can sense it, and it appears that only Tanila and Batrire can as well. Is there really a spell to make people want to move on?
That is the only conclusion I can think of. Look at the spot to camp . It’s nothing but a clearing not near big enough for more than one carriage or cart. It’s like it was purposely created to persuade someone from stopping yet a landmark for anyone who knows what they’re looking for.
Max nodded, even though he didn’t agree with the advice he had just been given.
“We’ll camp here tonight. Don’t worry. Just focus on setting up a few things, and we can decide what to do in the morning.”
“Are you certain, sir? I mean… we have at least three hours of light before it gets dark. Plenty of time to find another spot.”
Putting his hand on the driver’s shoulder, Max nodded.
“We’ll be fine.”
