"Damn those rats, they're insufferable!"
"How could there be such monsters in this world, such large rats walking upright like humans..."
The man was completely puzzled.
But Lutina had no interest in answering his question. She simply strode forward without looking back and said,
"This is Kellettville Forest. What do you think the Empire marked this place as a forbidden zone for? It's because there are countless terrifying things inside that ordinary people have never seen before! The Tamala rat-men are actually nothing special. I hope you won't be scared to death if we come across other bizarre things..."
The couple looked at each other and saw panic in each other's faces.
"Maybe... we should just go back later. We don't want to keep going deeper into this forest."
Lutina shook her head, pointing up at the sky.
At this moment the sky had already darkened, looking like early evening.
