Question marks appeared above Rai's head, completely Rai did not understand what this Man was saying.
Join this old man group? Whatdoes thatmean?
“Why silence, son? Do you want to join or not?“ This old man asked Rai again.
Rai remained motionless, not answering some of the questions the man had thrown, he looked with a puzzled look.
“No, she already has a group,” chirps Lara who suddenly appears beside Rai.
Lara's eyes were so sharp that she looked at the face of this bearded man.
Seeing this cynical look, the old man's eyes slightly trembled and gasped in shock at a glance.
The surprised expression that appeared in the blink of an eye on the fierce face The old man was caught by Rai's eyes, and this made Rai even more confused.
“OK, then,” reply This old man quickly. “I'm not forcing you to join.“
Rai was getting weird to see the behavior of this cruel-faced old man.
Why doesn't this old man force himself anymore?
“Forget the problem earlier. By the way, why did you guys come here?“ This old man asked with a face that still looked sinister even though he no longer had an angry feeling.
“We are here just want to pass,” said Rai who recovered from his confusion. He decided to put aside his thoughts regarding the strange event that had just happened.
This old man did not immediately reply, but squinted at Rai and Lara as if examining the two of them.
“Lewat? Don't you guys know what place this region is?“
“No!“ Lara and Rai answered almost simultaneously.
“I tell you, this place is a place that includes being in my territory which means you have stepped on my territory.“
“Then?“ Rai asked while tightening his grip on the spear.
Rai's movements were noticed by this Man, it seemed that this old man had a strong fighting instinct.
However, the bearded man was still staring at Rai calmly as if he did not know about it.
“You have to pay to get through this region safely,”
Hearing these words, Rai fell silent to contemplate thinking about this. However, while he was thinking, his hand was nudged by Lara, and Rai turned to his left side to look at Lara.
Immediately, Lara gestured in agreement with how to nod her head.
Rai looked again at this old man who was waiting for his answer, and he decided to agree to pay a fee to enter this region.
“Pay with what?“ asked Rai calmly.
“Cow meat 5 kilograms. If you cannot pay, you are welcome to leave here,“ replied this old man lightly.
It turned out that the payment was only meat, he thought more than that, without saying much, Rai immediately obeyed the old man's orders.
“Oke.“ Rai moved his bag forward and took out a few pieces of beef that they had both stored. “This, take.“
This old man took out a cloth from one of the pockets in his trousers and wrapped all the meat given by Rai.
“With this you can enter into this region safely,” said this old man with a slightly happy heart.
This man's hand tote the piece of meat that had been wrapped in cloth in such a way as to tip the groceries.
After the old man said like that, he suddenly extended his right hand towards Rai and said, “Introduce my name Wallace Boress, I am the Captain of the Seven.“ Ratcrow group
Rai did not shake hands with this old man and only mentioned his name, “I Rai.“
Seeing Rai like this, Lara followed to not shake hands with this cruel old man, and said her name briefly, “I Lara Lin.“
It seemed like Lara Lin was starting to follow Rai's cold demeanor.
This old man named Wallace did not heed the disrespectful actions of Rai and Lara, turning his body towards the forest.
“Follow me!“ said Wallace without seeing those behind, “don't forget to take care of your cat, otherwise don't blame me if I kill him.“
Upon hearing Wallace's cold words, Rai's anger was about to peak, but he was immediately pacified by Lara by patting her on the shoulder and looking into her eyes fixedly.
Highlight Lara's eyes were so strong that Rai's angry emotions were quickly assuaged.
After calming down, Rai told Kuro to return to kitten mode and sit on his broad shoulders, and then the three of them walked in Wallace's footsteps.
Rai's eyes continued to pay attention to Wallace's movements and around, he still could not believe that the two of them with Kuro could be safe here.
The premise is that if there is a group in an area, other people who step on the area will not be safe because they are suspected of making mistakes.
Although they said that nothing was done, arriving there was not necessarily in accordance with what was said before.
Given that the Rai team was only three that were not human, they must have been easily suppressed by this group mentioned by Wallace.
Bad prejudices predominate in Rai's mind so that he puts a high enough vigilance, his spear weapon is still held in his right hand and never removed.
A few minutes after they walked, Rai and Lara were finally able to see a settlement crowded by people.
Rai calculated roughly, there were roughly a hundred people living in this settlement. More men than women, about 70% are men.
Not only adults, here there are some small children who uphill teenagers. They are all on the move like residents in a village.
The shape of this place is like a village, but with a very close living place and limited by the wood that is plugged into the ground and tied by a rope from wood to other wood, the other wood, looks like a rope fence.
They use royong to plant crops, make shelter from makeshift materials, hunt, and guard residential areas.
They were well organized, and it turned out that all of this was led by Wallace Boress, this bald man.
“Welcome to Ratcrow Seven headquarters. You can stay here for a while or leave this base immediately,” Wallace suddenly told Rai and Lara.
The three of them stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden house, Wallace suddenly invited them to chat.
“Ratcrow Seven?“ Rai just found out there is a group named like this.
Wallace nodded and replied, “Yes, this group led by me, they are all here with the same goal, which is to survive the ferociousness of monsters in this world.“
Rai looked around, many people were looking at Rai who was wearing a mask and also Lara. It seems they are curious about the sudden visit of Rai and Lara.
“You two said you just wanted to miss? Where do you want to go?“
Seen-see This old man did not want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point of trouble, his words were exactly at what was in question.
“Mopulu City, is it close from here?“ Lara asked Wallace first.
“Mopulu? Close enough, about 10 kilometers from here,” replied Wallace lightly.
Hearing this, Rai's mouth twitched slightly, the distance of 10 kilometers according to Wallace was close, even though the distance along it was very far, let alone traveled by walking.
Wallace walked toward a man with a mustache with skin as brown as Wallace's. “Save this in warehouse.“
The meat wrapped in cloth was handed over to the man.
“Good! Ready to do!“ The man replied and walked towards the bamboo hut.
After seeing this man go to save the meat he was given, Wallace turned his gaze to Rai and Lara again, and he said, “If you guys want to go there, please, you better go in the morning today, the weather is now in the winter, the rainfall is high so that the pedestrian path is not so hot.“
Lara turned her head towards Rai after hearing Wallace's suggestion.
Seeing this, Rai turned his head and raised his right eyebrow unconsciously.
“If you don't leave now, the dry season is coming and the track will be hot, maybe you can't go with such hot environmental temperature conditions,” Wallace added to reassure Lara and Rai.
What is said by Wallace is true as well, after Rai thought again is true, the weather in the mountain area is always cloudy and rainy, making the road wet and cold.
Just when Rai wanted to open his mouth to ask, the sound of something loud rang out in the ears of the three of them.
Yoke! Yoke! Yoke!
The sound of bamboo knocking rang out loud until the people here could hear it.
Wallace's relaxed face spoke when he heard this and he said quickly, “Unfortunately you guys can't leave now, something dangerous is coming to this headquarters.“
After saying that, Wallace rushed towards the entrance of the base that Rai and Lara had passed earlier.
Knowing the thing that was going on, Rai murmured a little, “It looks like it's a dangerous warning sound.“
“How are we now, Rai? Are we going to help people here or?“
“We'd better help, I don't feel any hostility from them,” Rai said firmly.
“Emm .. alright.“ Lara nodded in agreement with Rai's choice.
Then they quickly ran after Wallace towards the entrance of this base.
