"Did you also find that monster?"
The lizardman who spoke was the one with the scar because he knew very well how fearsome that sea monster was.
Yale only obtained information related to the origin of the scar, but he didn't know that of all the lizardmen in that ship only one of them appeared into the coast and it was still unknown if the others were alive or not.
The lizardmen lowered their guard when they heard the words of their companion. Although it was true that the area was forbidden to humans and that the relationship between humans and lizardmen wasn't very good, they couldn't blame a group affected by a monster like that.
Moreover, since Shirk was in Yale's group, the lizardmen had a better impression of the group.
"Also? Did you meet that monster before?"
Yale already knew about that, but he couldn't tell it openly, so he feigned ignorance.
