Stone House
As time passed, I continued to wait for the old man, but he didn't come back. I started to worry.
I can't leave the young girl behind defenseless. What if the attacker comes back? He might target the little girl again.
It's a miracle that there is a magical herb to suppress the venom in the little girl's body.
Nighttime came; the young girl was still semiconscious. She was not awake. Seeing that, I showed some hesitation.
But I decided to take a quick look outside. I walked out of the stone house.
I walked around the courtyard. I used the system's probe function to scan the place, but there was no sign of the old man whatsoever. My eyes flashed with frustration.
The sky was dark with sparkling stars. However, the environment was rich and filled with a variety of mana, unlike the barren lands I know of. I continued to observe the place.
Suddenly, the system gave me a warning.
[Ding! An unknown wizard has been detected]
