"Mr. Drake, what is going on here..."
The sudden change in Ronald's group's demeanor was also noticed by the merchant traveling with them. The owner of the small caravan approached the trio with his daughter to make a conversation.
However, the situation was special now.
As the Barrier Mountain started presenting new challenges, Ronald and his companions were visibly tense.
The merchant was about to ask.
Catherine gestured with one hand and with her eyes, she blocked him from saying anything further.
"Listen, ahead is where the wizards fight, it's not a place you should go to."
"If you still want to keep your child alive, then leave right now!"
"..."
The merchant looked stunned.
Although he had known Ronald's group for less than two days, he could tell these people were extraordinary. Now that Catherine bluntly revealed the truth, all the previous subtle hints came flooding back to the merchant's mind.
"Let's go, let's leave!"
