Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 851 Rund Forest

Chapter 851 Rund Forest

The fact that these two were here was a sign that there was a dark crystal near here.

Well, the increased monster activity in the surrounding area was already a sign that there was a dark crystal around here. However, it wasn’t as if it was a certain thing since I had no idea what the range of effect the dark crystals had.

Seeing that there were two were here, it meant that the dark crystal was almost certainly here.

It meant that they must have been the ones that had brought the dark crystal here.

They might have even been the ones that had placed the other dark crystals all across our kingdom.

In that case, it would seem logical to capture them and then have them bring us to the various dark crystals that they planted. However, that wasn’t what I did, I just chose to ignore the two of them in the end.

Even when they stood up and walked out, I didn’t do a thing.

I just let them leave without telling anyone about them, but it wasn’t as if no one had noticed the strange way that I was looking at those two. There was someone who had been looking at me the entire time and had noticed the way that I looked at them.

Once those two left, that person said, “Should we go after them?”

I was surprised by this question.

When I turned to look at the person who asked it, I wasn’t surprised that it was this person who asked it.

After all, I knew that this person was obsessed with me, or else they never would have become my wife.

It was Cecilia who had come along with us to drink that had asked this question.

Though her real intention for coming along to drink was…to keep an eye on me.

So it wasn’t strange that she noticed the strange way that I looked at those two.

Looking at her for a bit, I said with a shake of my head, “It’s not time yet. Just let them go free for a bit, they’ll still hang around the area and lead us to the ones that we want to meet.”

Cecilia narrowed her eyes to look at me, but she nodded in agreement in the end.

She understood what I was planning to do with these two, so she accepted what I said.

There was nothing else that happened that night and soon we quickly turned in since we still had to head to the area of increased monster activity the next morning.

When we set off the next morning, the mood of the group was completely different from before. Visitt nov𝒆lbin(.)c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates

There was more of a relaxed feeling to the group before this, but now…everyone had serious looks on their faces. It was as if they were prepared to fight to the death as they headed forth to their destination.

But that was the determination that they should have when facing this situation.

After all, there was no telling what would happen with the monsters.

If they were surrounded by the monsters, it was even more likely that they would die.

So going with the determination to die was a good thing.

The area where the increased monster activity was happening was naturally surrounded by soldiers already. They were the first line of defense if there was anything that happened, so they naturally cared very much about their jobs.

When they saw us approach, they immediately came forward to stop us and ask what we were doing here.

However, it wasn’t as if they would be able to stop us.

We were here on behalf of the two most important people in the kingdom, we were here in my name and the prime minister’s. So the moment that we showed them our papers, they immediately opened up the barricades to let us pass.

Even though they had curious looks on their faces, they didn’t ask a single thing because they knew that they weren’t in a position to ask anything.

They just had to follow the orders that came from above.

After passing through the blockade, we headed towards the Rund Forest where the increased monster activity was coming from. Even before reaching the edges of the forest, we could see the signs of monsters wandering around.

It seemed that there were more monsters, but they still hadn’t left the bounds of the forest yet.

The monsters weren’t complete fools after all.

They knew that the moment that they left the forest, they would be hunted down by the humans.

Until the monster wave came, they wouldn’t leave the forest where they would be vulnerable. If they went out with a monster wave, then it would be much safer since there were plenty of monsters to work together with.

However, the fact that the monsters were at the edge made it clear that there were far more monsters and they were much more active in this area.

It was only a matter of time before there were enough for a wave.

We didn’t head right into the forest when we arrived, but rather Scar came looking for me to ask, “What do we do now?”

Even though on paper, Scar was the leader of the group, I was the real leader.

After all, I was the one that gathered everyone to come to this place and I should be the only one that knew how to find the things that we were looking for.

Though if one had to ask me…I didn’t really know how to find the dark crystals.

My plan was to scout the area until we found it, but it seemed that this was too dangerous of a plan with how many monsters were wandering around.

As I was trying to figure out what to do, I suddenly noticed something.

I looked carefully at one of the trees and noticed…there was this familiar feeling coming from it.

It was the same feeling that came from the mysterious duo back in town.

It seemed that there were signs of demon energy coming from it.
