"This is the place I spotted them," said Brad after leading them into the forest.
"Hmm… We've been heading north this whole time… Now that I think about it, where are the locations of the other villages? Are they north of your village?" Noel asked.
"Yes. Is there something wrong with it?" Brad tilted his head in confusion.
"I see. In other words, the bandits have been attacking you from the north, eliminating one village after another."
"Ah. So, that's how the village chief knows we will be targeted soon." Brad gasped.
The literacy skill for a commoner was very low, so it was understandable that he wasn't aware of this.
However, for Noel, this was just a common sense. This was the discrepancy between nobles and commoners, especially the ones from the village.
"Anyway, is there something in the north? I mean, like an important and huge place that can be used to host the bandits?" Noel asked again, inciting his train of thought.
