Jeremy was not deceived by the beautiful scenery surrounding him.
He was acutely aware that the area in which he found himself was exceedingly perilous. Given that they had already encountered formidable foes in the Giant's Cemetery, it was only logical to assume that they would face even stronger adversaries here.
Ritchie, however, was not quite as cautious as Jeremy.
He found the landscape to be exceptionally beautiful, which led him to lower his guard.
"I believe there shouldn't be any enemies around here. Let's continue onward, perhaps we might encounter some adversaries up ahead."
Ritchie actually hoped to encounter some enemies.
For Ritchie, the absence of adversaries indicated a lack of any clues.
Jeremy nodded in agreement.
Although he did not share Ritchie's perspective, continuing forward was indeed a very reasonable course of action.
