"Thanks."
"Should I say you're welcome?" Milan mumbled, squinting at Rod's sincere thanks.
"Why don't I feel any of the joy and satisfaction Don Quixote described after helping others?" She looked at the slightly raised pit in the ground, and couldn't help but cover her face and sigh. "I even feel a strange sense of guilt as an accomplice—"
A refreshing breeze dissipated the lingering smell. After Rod firmly packed the soil in the burial pit, he said to Milan, "Let's go, let's go see those monsters."
"Speaking of which, now that you've uncovered so much information," Milan said, glancing at Rod walking ahead, "do you know why this body was here?"
After saying all that, you probably didn't expect me to ask this question suddenly, did you?
"Well—" Rod pondered for a moment before explaining, "Actually, the place we're going to now is the direction he came from."
"Huh?" Milan paused, then remembered Rod saying he'd found traces of monsters, and instantly realized, "You mean, he escaped from a horde of monsters?"
"Yes," Rhodes nodded, using the surrounding buildings to conceal himself, "Based on the remaining traces, he must have stumbled and fallen here, then tripped and fell at the scene of the crime—"
"No," Milan interrupted his speculation with a sharp look in her eyes, "In a normal wrestling match, you should land face down, right?"
""
"That body was face up just now," Milan reminded him, crouching down behind him.

"So, someone turned him over after he died," Rod said slowly. "Of course, it could also not be a person."
"I sense there's something more to your words. If you're not human, are you some kind of monster?" Milan asked, glancing at him.
"It's not impossible," Rhodes's gaze shifted, "If that monster had fingers as nimble as a human's, it could perform such crude stitching work—"
"Isn't that guess a bit too far-fetched? It's just flipping it over," Milan frowned slightly, "Couldn't it be villagers?"
"It shouldn't be him. There weren't any other messy footprints around." Sensing her questioning gaze, Rod pointed to the dirt road and weeds, and explained, "A normal person turning over a body and seeing that situation would find it hard to remain calm. If they panicked and scrambled away, they would leave very obvious tracks. But I only found his—"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Milan, whose expression had been relatively calm, suddenly turn to look at him: "You know a normal person wouldn't act like this, right?"
"Yes, that's right," Rod looked at her questioningly, "Is there a problem?"
Looking at Rod's innocent eyes, Milan couldn't help but sigh.
Well, everyone has their own quirks. No matter what, Hiro is still more reliable than those old fogies in the Arcane Society. It's only right to be tolerant of his little quirks.
The two of them felt their way forward along the base of the wall. Rod would stop from time to time, squat down to look at the footprints on the ground, or smell the air.
The closer you get to the village's granary, the clearer the goblin's gurgling cries become.
Rod raised his hand to signal Milan to stop.
"It's nearby, be careful." As he spoke, he touched the Ring of Nature on his hand, and a faint green light flashed by.
The surrounding plants seemed to come alive, swaying gently, masking his presence and blending into the environment.
Seeing this, Milan quickly cast a concealment spell on herself.
But as soon as the spell took effect, she frowned. "It doesn't seem to be working very well."
Because of a lack of sufficient combat experience, Milan would forget how to use many spells even though she had learned them.
After returning last time, Milan studied it carefully and memorized some of the spells she had learned before.
Unfortunately, due to her low proficiency, the effect of her technique was unsatisfactory. It could only fool low-level monsters, and it might be useless against monsters with keen senses.
Thinking of this, Milan suddenly grinned mischievously.
"Hiro," she grabbed the ranger's hand beside her and winked at him, "you don't mind if I brush against you, right?"
Seeing the effects of the Ring of Nature extending outwards, Rhodes didn't say much, but simply pulled her along as they continued walking forward.
"Tch—no reaction at all? I thought she'd make some kind of interesting face." Feeling the warmth from her palm, Milan couldn't help but mutter to herself.
This guy looks indifferent and expressionless, but his hands are warm to the touch.
The two were speechless for a moment, however—
"Why are you holding hands with someone again?" In the consciousness space, Alina, who had just reconnected with Rhodes's perception, asked quietly.
"She took the initiative," Rhodes thought for a moment and then said, "saying she wanted to take advantage of the effects of the Ring of Nature."
"Really?" Alina fell silent upon hearing this answer.
The Ring of Nature was Milan's reward to Rhodes, so it's not surprising that she knew its effects.
But is it really necessary for a mage to do this? It shouldn't be that difficult to cast a stealth spell on herself, right?
Why hold another person's hand and do something that's inconvenient to do?
So their relationship had unknowingly progressed to this point?
Alina was lost in thought when she suddenly asked, "Would you merge with her?"
Upon hearing this question, Rhodes was taken aback. "Can I merge with her?"
He hadn't really thought about this issue in detail.
Because the system has never issued a notification that new material has been found.
However—the verification obtained from the previous encounter with Aphrodite was that no new combination materials could be detected in the combined state.
But if he could really merge with Milan, and if he could unlock her mage class—
Thinking of Milan's convenient and effective cleaning magic, Rod couldn't help but feel longing.
Wouldn't he be able to use all those amazing magic spells?
I need to find some time to ask her.
Deeply inspired, Rhodes said with emotion, "Thank you, Alina."
"?"
As their thoughts raced, Rod and Milan had already climbed onto the grain silo and were peering through the ventilation shaft to observe the situation inside.
Rod poked his head in slightly and saw a dilapidated cart in the center of the spacious granary, with a huge wooden cage on it.
The cages were mostly filled with young adults, with only a few scattered children, both boys and girls, huddled in their cages with empty eyes, looking utterly hopeless.
Although they each had different injuries, their hands and feet were mostly intact, and they did not seem to have suffered much.
Rhodes's brow furrowed instantly.
Something's not right. When goblins catch their prey, they almost always toy with it, torture it, and then tear it apart and eat it on the spot.
Even if there is a need to reproduce, their limbs will be broken off immediately and brought back to the nest; they will never be locked up and left there intact.
