The f*ck….
Benjamin inhaled sharply after he heard that, trying really hard to digest the piece of information that was just presented to him.
He thought he discovered a utopia, but instead it was actually a honey-addled trap?
After Benjamin recovered from his shock, he remembered the pale and sunken faces of the villagers, and the bone fragments they saw at the start; everything started to fall into place now. The Candela Mountains always had rumors of cannibals, but he never thought that the cannibals would be a group of mages!
The approximately 10 mages who were locked in the dungeon was probably not criminals, instead, they are most probably the food source that the mages stocked up.
Godd*mn unbelievable, this is.
A bunch of mages from ten thousand years ago hid within these mountains and passed down their most terrifying tradition in magic - cannibalism. No one knew how the tradition come to be, but they still were faithful to it, almost to a fault.
