The Witch Hunter System

”Haaa, I did some reflection last night, ” Old Ronnie sighed to hide his fear before saying, ”That group clearly doesn ’t want us to tag along. As such, we shouldn ’t insist. We ’ll just wait for the next escort group that passes by. ”

”T-the next escort group that passes by? We don ’t know when that would be. It could take days or even a whole week! If we stay in Sunpeak Town for that long, we might as well stay here for life! ” the person said with shock.

After all, three days was enough to catch the Curse of the Purple Umbala. They wouldn ’t be allowed to leave Sunpeak Town once that happens.

”W-we ’ll wait one day. If we can ’t find an escort group to tag along, we ’ll go through Goblin ’s Road by ourselves, ” Old Ronnie compromised.

He valued his life, but he didn ’t want to stay in Sunpeak Town for life either.

Nevertheless, the person couldn ’t understand what Old Ronnie was afraid of—so much that Old Ronnie would rather put the merchant group in danger by traveling alone than travel with the escort group they encountered.

”Is there something you ’re not telling me, Sir? ” the person inquired.

”It ’s…. better if you don ’t know, ” Old Ronnie said carefully after looking around nervously. He was uncertain if the person that threatened his life last night was still around somewhere or not.

”I see… ”

The person eventually grasped the situation based on Old Ronnie ’s odd behavior and didn ’t pry any further.

Meanwhile, Vaan left Sunpeak Town with the escort group and the two witch sisters.
