Chapter 145: 4.7 Sealed within earth

"I don't think so. We appear to be in the right place."

I turned towards Markus, who was staring at the hills. I was still curious — or rather confused — by what he just said.

This all made me wonder if it would have been a better idea to bring one of the villagers here. But then again, they all looked so traumatized that bringing anyone here would look like taking someone on the journey to death.

While the two of us were busy staring at the hill, Jackie was observing something on the ground. When I looked closer, there appeared to be some kind of trail left by the villagers.

"I think we should follow these to see where it leads," he said as he stood up.

"But there could be some kind of trap in there. We need to be careful," Markus added.

The three of us then left the horse there and started following the trails. The sun was still up, but at the rate we were going, it would already be sundown by the time we find this manor.
