Chapter: 482
Beacrox and Hans made eye contact and Beacrox started to frown. Hans kept his mouth shut and handed his umbrella over to Cale. However, Cale did not have a reason to take that umbrella from him.
�We can share mine.�
Rosalyn�s umbrella started to cover Cale as well.
�Thank you very much. Let�s go.�
Cale just briefly thanked Rosalyn before turning away from the entrance to the Path of No Return. The rest of Cale�s group followed him while the villagers at the entrance observed Cale�s group for a bit before looking back toward the forest.
�Hans.�
�Yes, young master-nim.�
�Go find an inn. Although there are a lot of inns, I�m sure there aren�t any really good ones, so just find a decent one.�
Hoik Village had a lot of inns compared to its size. However, all of these inns were very shabby since the people coming here to look for their loved ones didn�t have much money.
�Just why is it that everybody enters that Oorim?�
Cale sat down in the first floor restaurant of the inn they picked before he answered Choi Han�s question.
�For hope.�
�Hope?�
�There is a legend about the Path of No Return.�
Even though it was infamous for no one ever coming back, people still went into it every so often. It didn�t matter if the old man tried to stop them like he did with Cale�s group earlier.
�Supposedly, a dragon lives in the Path of No Return.�
� What the hell are you talking about, human? There are no dragons here. The only dragon around you is me!
Raon, who had been quiet, suddenly shouted into Cale�s mind.
Cale knew that there were no dragons here. He was someone who had read the novel.
�That Dragon will grant the wish of the human who find his lair. Whether that wish is to become rich, cure an incurable illness, or even make someone have a happy life. It will grant any wish.�
� A Dragon cannot do that. Dragons are great and mighty, but we are not gods! What nonsense!
Raon�s complaints were the truth. However, such legends had a tendency to shake the minds of the desperate.
�That legend is what draws people in.�
Cale could see a rare frown on Choi Han�s face. Choi Han probably did not like it. With his personality, seeing the atmosphere of this village, as well as people like the old man from earlier, it probably made him sad. JrNovels.com
