Chapter 150 - The mysterious power

Aiden looked at the dilapidated mansion for a long time digesting the words of the honest-looking brown-haired youth, Cole.

"Haunted? Huh… Are you sure?" He mumbled mostly to himself, but Cole still answered the questions.

"Yes, though it's just what the people say. Nobody dares to come close, there's some weird barrier that surrounds the premises. No one can cross it."

Aiden turned his head, looking at the boy slightly behind him. 

"So this is all just speculation, and nobody really knows?"

"I… I guess? Still, there were several missions posted already and nobody could complete it, so it eventually turned into this myth. One traveling 5-star adventurer came once and accepted the mission to investigate this place. After a few days, he came back with a ghastly expression and returned the quest saying that the place is haunted, and nobody should disturb its peace." Cole explained.
