Suddenly, the fat old man felt something amiss and spoke sharply. "He... he sensed our location."
Beside him, a black elf and a uniquely-looking Montide human snorted. Soon, the black elf spoke. "This young man is very suspicious. He left that mediocre clan and disappeared for years, and now he returns with divine talent. Then, he was able to survive a deadly trap. Definitely, this is a scheme of that demon. Someone must be protecting him in the shadows." Surprisingly, they were talking about the Demon that Alm and Bruno almost killed during their breakthrough.
