Journey to the Wu Region [2]

Silence... It was a silence that covered the whole trip of Lucas's company. The sky started to turn orange and slowly become darker until the night hit the day. The stars flickered and the moon shone, providing enough light.

The company was about to stop and camp for the night. However, Lucas didn't let the coachman stop as he sensed a presence nearby. His ears flinched in interest, then he looked at the path.

"Don't stop, just continue."

The coachman was a hired one along with the coach they had rented. It took a huge sum of their money, but Lucas just didn't have the interest to hasten for a moment. Even though he was not physically tired, he was mentally so. Thus, he decided to take a short rest with the coach.

However, because the situation was different at the time, even though he knew it would take them some time to notice the presence nearby, it was only a foreshadowing of what was to come.

"Are you sure, my Lord?"

"Yes."
