�This child, On, can control the fog.�

�What a rare power.�

Litana thought about the fog covering Oorim and let out her admiration.

�It is. I learned about this place while traveling out from my territory. I read in an ancient text that this place was controlled by the fog.�

Litana turned her gaze from On to look back at Cale. She sensed elegance in his actions and tone the longer she spent with him. He was definitely at least a noble.

�That was why I headed to this place with this child.�

Cale�s eyes started to sparkle by the fire. Litana and her subordinates could see it as well. Cale�s calm yet passionate voice filled the cave.

�We came here because we thought that we could use our power to give hope to the people who lost their way, as well as their family members who are desperately waiting for them.�

� �That wasn�t it.

Raon was mumbling to himself while On was just quietly wagging her tail.

Cale had a tiny smile on his face after seeing Litana�s gaze starting to change.

�Thankfully, I was right. We were able to see the path once On controlled the fog.�

He quickly explained the secret of the fog. He explained how it could make someone hallucinate and cause mana disturbance as well.

�I see.�

Litana couldn�t hide the bitterness in her heart.

�The legend� it probably does not exist.�

If it was fog and mana disturbance, the legend about the dragon causing this was definitely a lie. Disappointment filled Litana and her subordinates� faces. However, at the same time, Litana thought it may be for the better.

It was a much better situation now than when she was debating whether she had to set this forest on fire.

�Then is it possible for us to ask you to guide us to the exit when you are leaving tomorrow?�

�Of course. We have to help each other in times of need.�

Litana�s gaze became more gentle and warm toward Cale. He was as good of a person as he looked. She probably felt that odd aura around him because he was such a good person.

Cale then had a disappointed look on his face as he looked toward him.

�I�m sorry. I�m sure you had a desperate wish as well.�

�That is okay. There is nothing I can do about it. I am just glad that I do not need to set the forest on fire.� JrNovels.com
