"There are more than five paths to enter Utahill. But before that, I think we have to deal with them." Sebastian sighed.
"Deal with who?" Veronica inquired.
Sebastian didn't answer her but looked ahead with an unreadable expression on his face. And, her curiosity was soon quenched by the scene that unfolded in front of them. She didn't even need a verbal confirmation anymore.
Out of the blue, twenty burly men rushed from all four sides and surrounded them. They were all wearing black clothes and their faces were covered with thin back gauges, leaving only their emotionless eyes open to the world.
"They are assassins from a guild," Sebastian finally replied in a low voice while drawing his weapons out. His weapons were two short swords.
'Assassins? Like the ones who came after me to kill me in the forest? But why?' Veronica wondered as her heart started shaking.
