Chapter 641

Hmm? Theres a sound:

It is now about 150 yards to the wooden house. Since there were no monsters other than the wooden house on top of the cliff, he was able to concentrate quite well on the sounds that were coming through.

Fernand slowed his pace and crouched slightly.

Though he had used the skills of blending into the background and sneaking, some monsters sensitive to presence might still detect him. It was only natural to approach as stealthily as possible unless one was invisible.

Laughter? I hear laughter. That means its not a monster. Such laughter can only be made by a humanoid. Could it be a paleo?

Could the creatures he saw during his approach, resembling a mix between Griffins and Harpies, actually be paleos?

Were these paleos, emitting sounds of human laughter, somehow merging with some flying beasts and transforming?

No, then does that mean that place is the abode of mystical creatures? Were the flying creatures normal members of a paleo tribe?

Fernand shook his head.

It was all speculation at this point. Without confirmation, certainty was impossible.

After all, he is an adventurer, one of the players known as [Pioneering King], whose curiosity is satisfied only by seeing with his own eyes and verifying by stepping forth.

Finally, Fernand approached the outer walls of the wooden house.

The window that came into view tempted him to peek inside. However, that was a move only novice adventurers would make.

Fernand focused on the sound instead.

-Tonights dinner is~ ta-da! Griffonia roast! Children in their growing years should eat at least two legs, right?!

-Even the hungriest person would feel sick after eating two of those.

-Hm, honey? Did you finish speaking? You mean you dont want to eat it, right?

-As Ive always said! Its good to care for our son, but overeating wont do any good.

What are they talking about?)

A womans and a mans voice. Could this not be the abode of mystical creatures? Fernand wondered.

There could be two mystical creatures. A male and a female spirit living together.

No, wait, they just mentioned honey and son.

Family

Fernand was certain. This house was home to a family.

And based on the language and familial love, it definitely wasnt a monsters dwelling.

The smoke from before was actual cooking. Gryphonia, could it be the creature, part Griffin part Harpy, I saw earlier?

Fernand remembered the enormous size.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

To eat two legs of something bigger than an average horse, as the male entity suggested, one might indeed feel unwell afterwards.

A creature with a big appetite. Could it be similar to a giant? Maybe a Gorilla paleo or Medjay paleo?

He nodded, refocusing on the sound.

-Oh right, honey? Havent got much to say?

Bang-

Fernand jolted at the sudden noise but wasnt discovered.

The sound of slamming the table-

Immediately, an angry female voice was heard.

-Bringing up such topics at the dinner table, ruining the meal. You want to get hit?

-No, no! I mentioned that the [Divine Staff] was activated recently. So, that means hes bound to come looking.

-I dont know, dont know. And you know as well theres been no sign from our son. Hes likely to come soon. I want to leave before that happens. What do you think?

-It would be better during the day. Even if he doesnt come that person is on this continent anyway. I really despise getting more involved.

-I feel the same, sigh, if only there was a way.

Fernand heard a sigh from the female entity following.

They know about the [Divine Staff]. And whats this their side? Are they our people? Waiting for a meeting with the Vaticans men?

For Fernand, this line of thought was only natural. Not as a monster that stumbles around, but fluently using the language, if you are aware of the recent event of the Divine Staff activation?

They could possibly be observers sent from the Vatican.

But if that were the case, its unlikely the Pope wouldnt have mentioned anything to me

Alright, lets go-

No sooner had Fernand finished his thought than he reached for his whip.

Or, tried to.

Three gunshots rang out in quick succession.

One bullet hit the handle of the whip, one struck Fernands belt, and one the brim of Fernands hat.

The hat was blown off, revealing his face completely, the whip was sent flying, and the belt, which held various climbing gear, was undone in the thick brush.

In the time Fernand had moved his hand from his thigh to his waist to grab the whip

In less than 0.1 seconds, his opponent had seen and reacted to Fernands movement.

Phew- playing cute, are we? Where do you think youre going?

Uh-huh, you cant even teleport here anyway. Youve lost all your gear, so what are you going to do now? Fight us? Before that, shouldnt you tell us who sent you and how you got here?

The male figure blew the smoke from his gun, while the female figure, finding something amusing, continuously giggled, looking at Fernand.

Fernand, astonished, could only consider the absurd rapid-fire and the item that the female figure had effortlessly lifted.

Seeing her impossibly long weapon, Fernand thought of someone.

Ki, Kidd and Leeha Muttering their names like a groan, Fernand was reminded of items strongly associated with Kidd and Leeha.

Though it was unlikely they would come to his aid, at least he wasnt alone in his thoughts!

Just as Fernand attempted to curse Kidd and Leeha under his breath, their demeanor changed.

The heck? You know Kidd? Leehas friend, huh? Really? Yes?

Fernand was briefly taken aback. What was this now?

The words were so friendly, he even wondered, Could this person be Leehas mother?

The male figure too shrugged and tilted his head.

Kidd I definitely saw him that time.

Yep! I didnt see but Ive heard of him. Browlesss apprentice, right? My hubby mentioned, said theres an interesting guy!

Definitely more amusing than my dimwit dongsaeng, for sure. They still have a long way to go, though. The guy following in honeys footsteps, that guy?

Yeah. That dude tried to negotiate with me, it was so thrilling!

The females body shivered with excitement, her eyes gleaming.

Fernand couldnt grasp the situation.

You know Kidd-ssi and Leeha-ssi? Using the same weapons and dongsaeng is Ah- Ahh!?

Fernand had been privy to all the stories from the Vatican.

Hence, he was aware.

Of those who had appeared at the last stronghold of evil. All humans, including Alexander and Bailephus, had tried to secure the place but were easily defeated by a third party!

Matans Shooter it was these people!

Fernand encountered Mr. Brown and Miss Elizabeth.

Thud, thud.

Walking towards him, Brown struck Fernands face with his pistol.

Before he could even scream from the immense pain, his face was already covered by a thick mask.

Uhnggh ergh.

With a groan, Fernand barely managed to open his eyes. What had hit him? In an instant, something flashed, and his vision darkened. Soon after, a potion was forced into his mouth, gulp by gulp, slightly restoring his vision, yet the darkness persisted. A thick, light-impenetrable mask covered his head.

He was forcibly seated, bound so tightly that resistance was out of the question.

Does it hurt? Sorry. My dear hit a bit too hard, didnt expect it to crack that easily, kid! You look like an adventurer, but youre too frail to roam around, arent you?

Fernand chose not to open his mouth.

But there was something unmistakably aunt-like about the way she spoke.

It was true that Bua felt irritated by such a way of expressing apology while still not being able to say sorry.

Are you scared?

Fernand barely managed to ask, opening his mouth.

The laughter of the female, Elizabeth, echoed briefly inside the house.
