The next one month was an interesting one for Rudra and the advanced party who had gone to the holy city to steal the book cover of the demon's diary.
They were delayed in reaching their destination by over 3 days due to unexpected monster encounters despite being guided by Bo to the best of his abilities.
The party had met over 3 world roaming monsters in their journey that had a 1/100,000 probability of encounter , yet somehow they not only managed to meet one but three of them delaying their progress significantly.
The bigger problem was that they were using hired mounts that were changed at every small town that they crossed as they could not be seen as elites on their grey wolf mounts as that would gather unwanted attention towards their party.
The horse mounts were significantly slower and lousier compared to the Elite wolves and needed to be watered and rested quite often.
