From a distance, Buma Town looked quiet and peaceful.
But as one got closer, the quietness became bizarre.
There was not a single sound.
There were no insects chirping, no dogs barking, and the security guard who should have been at the entrance of the town was also absent.
Peters immediately stopped the carriage.
He gripped the hilt with one hand and knocked on the carriage door with the other.
Thud, thud-thud.
At Peters's first knock, Jason had already pushed open the carriage door and stepped down, and even before that, he had been carefully sniffing the air around him.
There was no scent of food.
Looking at the town that was quiet to an extreme, a hint of unease immediately rose from the depths of Jason's heart.
This feeling instinctively reminded him of the first time he stood in front of the "Moon Mask," about to push open the door; without hesitation, Jason asked, "Are there any other options?"
"Yes!"
