Chapter 73: Mithril Adventurers
When checking the burnt patch on the ground, we felt the intimidating sensation at a much higher degree than before.
However, as we both looked around for the source, we couldn’t find anyone suspicious, and the feeling slowly faded.
"Wh-what was that?" Melina asked as she kept looking around.
Simultaneously, we both launched into the air to see if we could see anything from a higher viewpoint. Nonetheless, we couldn’t see or feel anything.
"Was that some sort of warning?" I pondered aloud.
We kept looking around the hill for a few hours but ended up empty-handed. When we returned to town, the other knight groups had also arrived.
The knights of the 7th said that the monster attacks on the outskirts had been subsiding little by little, but they couldn’t find anything that could be linked to the devil.
Harvey and his knights said their side of the hill was completely peaceful and uneventful, saying they barely even saw any wild animals out there.
"Hmm, that’s already a little suspicious, don’t you think?" I asked the knight.
"I suppose. It could be that it’s not their season, or the Kraken scared them away..." he responded, trying to come up with an alternative explanation.
To be fair, what he said made sense. The Kraken’s presence was definitely something that other animals would avoid, thanks to their primal instincts. However, it was still a good idea to be wary whenever scouting that area, just in case.
