Chapter-150

As the door closed behind them, Sin and Fatty Jack found themselves on the threshold of a new chapter in their investigation. The enigmatic behavior of the villagers, the mysteries of Lobias and Lita, and the complexities of their mission had converged within the confines of the village head's dwelling.

Within those walls, hidden truths and guarded secrets awaited discovery. The quest for answers, guided by the determination of Sin and the mysteries of the world they inhabited, was poised to unfold in ways they could not have foreseen.

As Sin and Fatty Jack were ushered into the village head's house, they were met with an atmosphere tinged with tension and apprehension. The villagers' behavior had already signaled that something was amiss, and now, within the confines of the dwelling, they were about to uncover a web of secrets and mysteries that would alter the course of their investigation.

In the dimly lit interior of the house, the village head and his wife stood before Sin and Fatty Jack, their expressions weighed down by a profound sense of guilt and sorrow. Their faces bore the weight of the confession they were about to make—a revelation that would send shivers down the spines of the two noble-born youths.

With a heavy sigh, the village head began to speak. "Yes," he admitted, his voice trembling with a mixture of regret and anguish, "we know the man named Lobias. He is the reason our son went missing." His words hung in the air, a chilling admission that pierced through the room.

The village head's wife, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, added her voice to the somber revelation. "Lobias," she continued, "claimed that he had found work for our son within one of the duchy's factories. For months, we believed his words, trusting that our son was safe and employed."

As the details of their tragic ordeal unfolded, Sin and Fatty Jack listened in solemn silence. It became painfully clear that Lobias, the very individual they were seeking, had played a pivotal role in the disappearance of the village head's son. The implications of this revelation were profound and deeply unsettling.

The village head went on to explain that, despite their faith in Lobias's assurances, they had grown increasingly concerned as the months passed without any contact from their son. The lack of communication had fueled their anxieties and suspicions, leading them to question the true nature of Lobias's actions. Not only their son but a few other villager's young sons and daughters were missing.

Sin and Fatty Jack, their expressions growing colder with each word, understood the gravity of the situation. The man they were pursuing, Lobias, had not only crossed paths with the green-haired lady, Lita but had also been involved in the disappearance of the young villagers—the villagers whose fate remained shrouded in uncertainty.

The revelation cast a dark shadow over their mission, intensifying their resolve to uncover the truth and bring those responsible to justice. The complexities of noble and commoner interactions, the enigmatic behavior of the villagers, and the mysteries of Lobias and Lita had converged in a narrative that had taken an unforeseen and chilling turn.

As they contemplated the revelations before them, Sin and Fatty Jack found themselves standing at a crossroads of justice and intrigue. The quest for answers had taken on a new urgency, driven by the need to unravel the mysteries of Lobias, find the missing villager, and bring closure to a family torn apart by deception and despair.

Within the walls of the village head's house, the echoes of their determination resonated in the solemn air—a determination that would guide them through the labyrinth of secrets and enigmas, no matter how chilling or complex, until the truth was unveiled.

In the dimly lit room of the village head's house, a chilling revelation had just unfolded before Sin and Fatty Jack. The village head and his wife had confessed to their knowledge of a man named Lobias, a man who had promised their son employment within one of the duchies and had subsequently been responsible for the young villager's disappearance.

As the weight of this revelation settled upon them, Sin and Fatty Jack couldn't help but connect the dots in their minds. Lobias, the individual they had been pursuing in connection with the green-haired lady, Lita, was now emerging as a central figure in a troubling series of events that had befallen this humble village.

The implications were profound. It appeared increasingly likely that Lobias held the key to unraveling the mysteries that had brought them to this rural corner of the Asmodeus Duchy. Sin's mind raced with questions, and he seized upon the opportunity to seek further clarity.

"Is Lobias a member of the Mangeur D'os tribe?" Sin inquired, his voice measured and intent. It was a question that held the potential to reveal a critical piece of the puzzle. The old couple, their faces etched with a mix of sorrow and resignation, exchanged a knowing glance before nodding in unison.

The confirmation sent a shiver down Sin's spine. The pieces of the puzzle were beginning to fall into place, and the intricate web of connections was becoming clearer. Lobias, a member of the Mangeur D'os tribe, was indeed at the heart of the mysteries that had drawn them into this enigmatic quest.

The Mangeur D'os tribe, with its reputation steeped in secrecy and its activities shrouded in darkness, had long been a subject of intrigue and apprehension within the region. Their enigmatic practices and reclusive nature had given rise to rumors and speculation, painting them as a group with motives and intentions that defied easy comprehension.

As Sin contemplated the newfound information, he couldn't help but draw parallels between the disappearance of the young villagers and the green-haired lady, Lita. It was becoming increasingly evident that their fates were intertwined, and Lobias was the common thread linking their stories.

The complexities of noble and commoner interactions, the enigmatic behavior of the villagers, and the mysteries of Lobias and Lita were converging toward a singular point of focus—the Mangeur D'os tribe. The tribe, with its shadowy presence and elusive members, was emerging as a key player in a narrative that held far-reaching implications.

Sin and Fatty Jack, their resolve steeled by the gravity of the situation, understood that they had embarked on a quest that transcended the boundaries of nobility and commoner. Their pursuit of answers, justice, and the truth would take them deeper into the heart of the enigmatic world they inhabited, where secrets and mysteries lurked at every turn.

Within the village head's house, as the old couple's eyes met Sin's, a tacit understanding passed between them. They had shared a piece of the puzzle, and now, the pursuit of the truth would lead them into the heart of darkness, where the mysteries of Lobias, Lita, and the Mangeur D'os tribe awaited discovery.
