Chapter 57: (1)
Clatter. Clatter.
“Hmm, it seems like they won’t show up after all.”
“…We’ll have to keep watching.”
Kaiyan wanted to find them immediately and make them pay the same price, but they weren’t appearing before them as if they had no intention to.
However, blindly searching for them without knowing where they might be was an unreasonable situation.
“There must be a reason for the massacre….”
Kaiyan pondered why they mercilessly killed dozens of people, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t find an answer.
Why did that unknown group do such a thing?
“There should be some clues to find them using the shops.”
There are only two things he knows for certain at the moment.
The probability of them not being monsters is high, and considering the small traces despite the large number of deaths, the probability of them being a minority is high.
“More importantly, where is our destination? We’ve already come this far, and it’s all the way to the Gami-an Plains.”
Banson voiced his frustration, pounding his chest as if to express his discontent.
Indeed, despite entering the Louis Plains as he said, Jansen, who was inside the carriage, didn’t show any intention of coming out and continued to want to go northwest.
It’s been four days since the agreed-upon date, and he still hasn’t shared our destination, which is a bit strange.
“The situation with Smith and now Jansen… sigh.”josei
Kaiyan couldn’t help but think that he should have declined the request.
If he had, Smith wouldn’t have experienced this strange incident either.
On top of that, the road to his hometown would be closer. his initial plan was only up to the Louis Plains.
“Sigh….”
“What’s wrong, Kaiyan?”
“It’s just that I feel a bit frustrated. You don’t have to worry about it.”
“Don’t worry too much. Whoever appears, I’ll crush them!”
Banson exaggeratedly flexed his arm muscles and laughed, which eased my mind a bit.
“That’s truly reassuring.”
“Haha! Just trust me!”

When Kaiyan and the group passed the entrance of the Louis Plains, a small village located at the eastern end of the plains was burning.
“Why is this happening!”
An elderly man lay on the ground, covered in red blood, appealing in despair.
In front of him stood a beautiful woman with black hair, watching him like an insect and smiling.
“Why?”
“Why did you kill the people in our village!”
The elderly man was the village chief of the burning village.
He wanted to know why this black-haired woman, who suddenly appeared and mercilessly killed the villagers, had done such a thing.
This place was a hidden village created by people who had escaped from the lord, and the black-haired woman somehow found it and began brutally killing people.
“The reason? It’s obviously for entertainment.”
“For entertainment…? You killed people just for fun?”
“Isn’t there a more important reason than that?”
The black-haired woman smiled as if she found it amusing.
That smile alone sent chills down one’s spine.
“You… are evil.”
Crack-
Before the village chief could finish his sentence, his head separated from his body and fell to the ground with a thud.
“What? It was getting so interesting. Arienne.”
As the shadow of the deceased village chief rose and surged towards them, a black doll emerged and gradually transformed, spitting out a woman with golden hair.
“I found them after a long search. Lady Aioness.”
“I could have returned on my own… but it ruins my mood. If it weren’t for Arienne, the elder would have already died in my hands.”
“I apologize. However, the Elder urgently wants to see you.”
When Arienne mentioned the Elder, Aioness’s face twisted into a sinister expression as if she hadn’t smiled in ages.
“Seems like the Elder holds a higher position than me, doesn’t it?”
“No, that’s not true. We all follow Lady Aioness. It’s just that since the Elder oversees everything, we prioritize following their orders until the plan is completed.”
“Hmm… If Arienne says so. Let’s just go back. I’ve had my fair share of fun.”
As Aioness stood up and disappeared, a hundred or so corpses were left behind, gruesomely torn apart and scattered on the ground.
Arienne closed her eyes, familiar with the sight, and whispered softly, as the shadows surged and covered them, seeping into the ground and disappearing.
All that remained in the village after they were gone were the beheaded corpse of the village chief and the hundreds of torn corpses. Even these would soon disappear completely in the raging fire that engulfed the village.

It had been five days since their departure from Blatan and two days since they entered the Louis Plains.
Contrary to their initial concerns, they hadn’t encountered any attacks after entering the Louis Plains. Even if they didn’t know who killed Smith, they expected to encounter monsters since they were hungry, but they were nowhere to be seen in the vicinity.
“Bisel, isn’t it strange?”
I asked Bisel, who was on the same carriage roof, but he shrugged as if he didn’t know.
“What’s strange?”
“It’s strange that we were attacked twice a day in the forest, but we haven’t been attacked once in the Louis Plains.”
“Well, ah! Maybe that’s it? The Gami-an forces supposedly achieved a great victory. That’s why there are no monsters.”
Bisel’s words made some sense, but it was clearly not the case.
“Then isn’t it funny that we were attacked by monsters in the forest?”
He was on the verge of swearing, but when he saw Bisel’s cheerful smile, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
