263 The Mysterious Warlock

-----

The projections we saw of that overly creepy guy really got us good. We were all rather surprised, and we even stopped eating as a result! However, we swiftly went back to normal as we discussed things pragmatically.

"An apprentice from the Luminous Kingdom's Greatest Magician?" The Gnome Chief wondered.

"And apparently, he's also some sort of Warlock that has formed a contract with the Demon King of Miasma. He's doing as he was told, to destroy this forest…" Said Titania.

"He was formidable but he still ran away, he's pretty pathetic." Said Titan. "But maybe there's a reason behind why he didn't prioritized attacking Lily and getting into the village…"

"Maybe he's looking for something else?" I wondered. "After all if he wanted to destroy this forest, why not go for the surface? He simply continued moving underground…"

"Hmmm…" Titania began to think, as if she might had figured out something.
