"This..."
After hearing Murphy's worry, Maxim's look became grim. As a person born in the region of Transylvania, he had seen a lot of evil spirits growing up.
This wild, enclosed land was never short of ghost stories of the like.
Including but not limited to ghouls that would crawl out of graves and consume the remains of the dead at night, resentful spirits that would possess bodies unawares and rip apart their souls, and vampires who silently perform their midnight visits in some uncertain, dark nights and so on.
Compared to these terrifying entities, the gnolls, often playing the parts of thieves that moved through all the hills and dales pillaging as they go, and the bandits of wolf people always craving any sort of candle, seemed so warm and intimate.
In other regions, wolf people and all kinds of beasts could be dangerous, but in Transylvania, a place full of hauntings, they hardly draw any attention.
