There was no shortcut now, and it took quite some time to run from the mansion, which had become a castle, to the main transportation routes of the city.
The upside was that if someone wanted to kill him now, it would take them a long while just running circles inside the castle, not to mention the castle itself had become the station for the Rangers.
Lately, the Gluttonous Slimes had been left to roam in every dark corner of the castle, naturally serving as guards under Kael's command.
Even because they had the ability to change shape, they could perfectly hide in various nooks by mimicking objects and concealing themselves.
Rushing in would only land one in a vast ocean of Rangers and Gluttonous Slimes.
The downside was, once the castle was established, Kael's contacts with the players and town residents were somewhat severed.
But no matter, if the mountain won't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. By taking action myself, things were actually quite manageable.
