The whole kingdom became hectic. The sudden assassination of the son of the duke was a shock to many. It may be just one of the assassination cases, but this time it’s different. The son of the duke is one of the most prominent business leaders in this country and is the economic adviser of the monarch himself. And him being assassinated means only one thing, the kingdom has now launched an all-out search for the culprit, as this is a sign of rebellion and somehow a declaration of war,“He took down one hell of a person. If he can slip through the guards of the son of the duke, then he is not an ordinary opponent,” says Marcus,“Well, we can, hopefully outsmart him. The rewards of us bringing him down would be massive as the whole kingdom is now on full alert. However, assassins tend to blend in on their environment, which makes them hard to spot as they will look like normal people. That is why people don’t know when the next attack is going to be.” Elaine followed.Abraham nodded,“

The party then reached a village after a whole day of travelling. This is the last stopover they would do, as the harbors are near this village. They then entered an inn and checked themselves in,“Say, why are we not continuing our journey? The harbor is 5 kilometers away from this village, we can make even if it’s night.” Abraham asked as the others thought that way also.Elain sighed, as these people surely didn’t read the history of the path towards the main harbor. Nevertheless, after checking in, Elaine and Maia went into the boys’ room, as Elaine brought this map and some newspaper.“The reason we can’t continue our journey is right here, let me read it for you guys.” Elaine says as she then sat on a chair while the others gathered around her.She then shows the map of the kingdom, and then, she asked them to put their eyes near the harbor, and they would notice it immediately. And sure enough, they all saw one thing. The path towards the harbors has the name,“Switch Glades.”

Elaine is now facing a woman-like being with serpents as hair,“You look like freaking Medusa in the myths!” she grinned.The woman just hissed at her and charged. She has no feet, and her whole lower body is just like a snake. Not to mention the creepy and disgusting green scales of her and those yellow reptilian eyes. Elaine created some distance since she can’t fight in close combat as she is an archer, however, things just won’t go her way. The serpent woman kept on pushing her backwards and is not letting Elaine create some distance.“And now this is messed up.” Elaine thought to herself as it seems that this monster is smart.Despite being a creation of mana and a corpse, it still has its smartness intact which makes it a dangerous opponent. But the thing that annoys Elaine the most is the fact that the boobs of this serpent woman are hanging out and has no bra or anything, it is just wiggling and jiggling in front of her.“Ho, if Abraham is in my place here, he would be happy i

The party did not even notice due to exhaustion that they have spent the whole night inside the dangerous glades. Elaine was the first one to wake up and see that all her party members are still snoring on the ground. She looked up the sky to see that it was a beautiful and sunny day. No wonder their clothes were dry already. Since everyone is still sleeping, she grabbed her bag and then proceeded to change her clothes while her back is facing them. As she removed her shirt, that is when she felt it. She can’t be mistaken since that’s what it feels to be spied upon. She then turned around to see that Abraham have his eyes half open and he was just pretending to be asleep. Nevertheless, Elaine continued to change her clothes and pretend that she didn’t see Abraham peeping on her. After finishing up, she picked up her ruined clothes and then walked towards Abraham. At first, Abraham thought that Elaine was just going to throw her tattered clothes somewhere, but then, Elaine suddenly elbo

After dealing with the drops and receiving the money, Abraham and the old man went out of the office to see that there are no longer adventurers nor mages around, except for Abraham’s party, “You’re late, idiot, the boat is about to leave and is just waiting for us.” Elaine says. “Sorry, I had some things to do. Now, you two, have you bought what we need?” Abraham replied as he looked at Edward and Maia. Y-Yes, but it still confuses me, though. Why would you need holy water, a knight’s handbook, and some unmixed potion?” Maia asked. “I have my reasons for buying that, in any case, sir, how much is it?” Abraham looked at the old man, “For you, that would only be 5 gold, 200 silver and 1,000 copper.” Says the old man. The party then bagged their equipment and then left the store individually. As Abraham is about to leave already, the old man suddenly grabbed his arm and whispered something in his ear, “The path of a Chosen is not easy. It is a bumpy ride, kid. Every turn you do,
