The night came.
All of Auron's students had gone to sleep while Auron was still awake. As a player, Auron didn't need to sleep. Moreover, he already used the nutrient solution.
During his start over, Auron had used a lot of nutrient solutions. He spent a lot on those nutrients by borrowing money from Roan. Of course, up to this moment, he had yet paid any money back to Roan.
Whenever Auron saved some money and wanted to pay Roan back bit by bit, there would be something that needed him to use the saved money.
Fortunately, the money that Auron spent was worthed it. Auron had reached the current level, 322, in just a short time. And, currently, Auron needed four more experience points more than the normal character.
Although most of Auron's experience points he got was due to his luck discovering something incredible, Auron played 24 hours a day also contributed a lot. If Auron didn't play that long, Auron would not have enough money to support his two characters. Even the potions' cost was overwhelming.
Auron was inside his room. He was looking outside the window, observing the village. After hearing the girl's story, Auron had a bad premonition.
If what the girl said was true, then there was a huge chance that the young man knew he would survive.
Auron even felt that the Pauper Bandit Group or whichever bandit group related to the young man would come to this village to save him. However, Auron kept on pushing away his guess. It was because even if the Pauper Bandit Group could be considered as a medium-sized bandit group, it would not be enough for them to be saved from the kingdom's wrath.
So, if by any chance that the Pauper Bandit Group really dared to invade the village, then there was more into that.
After some time, Auron decided to exit the inn and roamed around the village. Since it was almost midnight, there were not many people out in the street. Only several village guards patrolled around the area and some drunk men from the village's bar.
Auron greeted the guards whenever he passed one. He was acting kinds. The guards knew Auron from the morning's incident. So, they knew that Auron was not a bad man.
Actually, a man roaming around in the middle of the night was quite strange. However, since the guards knew that Auron was not a bad man, they didn't suspect Auron.
Auron roamed around the village until he arrived in front of a building. This building was where the young man was held. Auron could not go inside without any permission, even if the guards knew about him.
Auron stood in front of this building for quite a while. After some time, Auron shook his head and started to continue roaming the village.
Auron didn't roam around the village aimlessly. While wandering around, he tried to find something strange or some clues about the bandit group. When he met a drunk man, he intentionally approached him. Auron tried to gather information from the drunk man in disguise of helping the man.
Of course, it was not that easy. There was a drunk man that was so drunk, he said many nonsense things. Meanwhile, Auron had the chance to ask a drunk man that could be talked to. Unfortunately, the man only knew what Auron had already known.
While roaming around, Auron got an idea. He walked up to a building. The building in front of him was the building where the caravan's owner rest.
The caravan's owner was quite scared to mingle around with other people in a public area like the inn. So, he asked the village's head for a place to stay.
The village's head found a young married family that willing to lend their house for a night. Of course, the caravan's owner had paid the place for reasonable money. Of course, the young married family didn't mind this since it was just for a night and the remuneration was quite alluring for them.
In front of the house, two guards were standing by guarding the place. The caravan's owner had hired two village guards to exclusively protect him.
The reason why Auron came here was obviously not to talk with the caravan's owner. Auron knew that the caravan's owner must have gone to sleep in the middle of the night.
Auron's reason for going here was to talk with the guards. Using his excellent image, Auron started a conversation with the guards. He intended to find out what the caravan's owner did after all of his students went back to the inn.
Unfortunately, the information he got disappointed him. The caravan's owner didn't go anywhere after he went back inside. The guards didn't know what was inside since the caravan's owner banned them from going inside. The only one who could go inside was the village's head and the caravan's members.
At that time, from inside, one of the surviving caravan's members came outside. He could not sleep at all. So, when he heard the noise coming from Auron and the guards talking to each other, this man decided to join the conversation and look for some fresh air.
Auron immediately brightened when he saw the caravan's members coming out. He intended to ask many questions when suddenly a noisy sound came from the village's entrance.
The noisy sound was followed by a scream and the emergency bell sound. The light could be seen from the window of each of the buildings inside the village, including the building in front of Auron.
"What happened?" Auron could hear this question from inside. He recognized it was the voice of the caravan's owner.
Auron didn't have any time or intention to reply to the question. Instead, he immediately went to the village's entrance.
When Auron arrived at the village's entrance, he could see there were already many people at the entrance. The bandit group had attacked.
