Chapter 60.5

So all Cale did was what he needed to do as a member of the Henituse family. “Tell them to give them proper graves in the future. This is too shabby.” “...Yes sir!” Cale patted Hilsman, who responded more energetically than usual, on the shoulder before looking toward the soldiers. The soldiers slowly moved back and Cale kept his hand on Hilsman’s shoulder and whispered. “You know what to do?” All sorts of emotions appeared on Hilsman’s face as he recalled what had happened two nights ago. They were camping out in the when Cale called him over to his tent. ‘I will be going into the Forest of Darkness.’ ‘What? Why would someone in recovery go somewhere so dangerous? The perpetrators will not be in there. Do you have to do so much for Choi Han-.’ The small Black Dragon appeared while Hilsman was talking. He was extremely surprised when it had happened. But that was not the end. Meeeeeow. The kittens meowed before turning into people. They were Beast people. Furthermore, the Vice Captain felt chills for the first time in his life after seeing the woman pull out a long water whip and the man holding a sword with a whirlpool at its end. ‘Don’t worry.’ At the center of all of these strong monsters was Cale, who had a relaxed smile on his face. The fact that Cale seemed so normal around them made Hilsman even more shocked. Hilsman had made up his mind in the last two days. Although he was someone whose only goal was to become captain, he still wasn’t an idiot. “Yes, I got it, young master-nim.” “Good.” Cale turned away without any other issues from Hilsman. Hilsman followed right behind Cale, who continued to speak. “I trust you.” That made Hilsman clench his fists. He had thought that it would be enough if he could make it to the Captain position in the Henituse Knights’ brigade. However, his mentality had changes in the last two days. He shared his thoughts with Cale. “Young master-nim, I will get stronger.” “Do whatever you want.” Cale answered disinterestedly, only feeling relieved that it sounded like Hilsman would take care of the headaches. That was why there were no guards by where Cale was standing in the middle of the night. The Vice-Captain had changed the patrol areas. Cale touched his magic bag while standing in front of the Stone Wall and started to speak. “There are two swamps in the Forest of Darkness.” This large forest only had two swamps. Cale leisurely continued to speak after making eye contact with Paseton. “One is where monsters live and the other is where nothing can live.” He then asked Paseton. “Paseton, you said it looked like the mermaids’ poison got stronger. So then which one do you think it will be?” Paseton nervously answered. “I think it is the one where nothing can live.” “Correct. There is a high chance it will be that one. That is why we will be heading there first.” They could head for the one with the monsters if the first one was not correct. That was actually easier location-wise as well. At that moment, Witira, who had been quietly standing there, looked to Cale’s sides with concern. She then hesitated for a bit before finally asking the question. “Won’t it be dangerous for the children?” On and Hong were dangling on Cale’s sides. “Young master Cale, you said that the Forest of Darkness is dangerous. And if it is a swamp where nothing can live, it is definitely either that there is poison everywhere or that the swamp itself is dangerous.” Witira felt something was odd as she continued to speak. The Cat Tribe’s silver kitten On’s tail was happily wagging. “A dangerous place like that is our specialty. But more importantly, he said we will not get hurt.” The Cat Tribe was cautious and talented in searches. Witira looked up at Cale because On’s response was not what she had expected. Her eyes then turned wide. It was because Cale was smirking and the other Cat Tribe child, the red kitten, was also smiling. Both of their smiles seemed villainous. Hong seemed to be very excited as he started to speak. “I’m going to get stronger today. It’ll be fine!” It was time to improve the poisonous fog. A safe encounter for the children, who wanted to get stronger, and Cale, who wanted safety and peace, had arrived. Cale started to speak to Witira. “It is a great opportunity.” A poison fog strong enough to impact even the Whale tribe might be completed here if they were lucky.
