Chapter 140: 4.2 The Serpent river - Part 2

"What?! The bridge is broken?"

Garo stood up from his chair in surprise. Because of this one news, our entire plan was ruined, so that was an obvious reaction.

I was seated at the dinner table with Markus, princesses, Garo, and the village chief. It wasn't a large feast, but I was really enjoying the local chicken.

"Yes, the bridge had become weak over the years, and it broke when a merchant was driving his cart over it. The merchant jumped off the cart and survived."

The merchant must have been one hell of a lucky guy to survive such a situation. If I were him, I would probably check the bridge's strength before crossing any from that day onward.

"But what do we do now?" Garo asked while looking towards Markus. His eyes were open wide in shock.

"Hmm… This complicates things a bit. We will need to look for an alternate route that leads to another bridge."
