The Witch Hunter System

Linetta couldn ’t be sure if their aunty commissioned people to assassinate them on the road to the capital.

It was just a blind guess that they couldn ’t confirm.

However, if the wagon thief party had been a group of assassins, they would have caught up to them in the underground cave if they were truly their targets.

After all, their abandoned wagons near the streams were enough tracks to prove that they had taken refuge in their underground shelter. Despite that, the thief party took a wagon with the most valuable carcasses and went ahead.

However, suppose the thief party was assassins. In that case, they could have deemed it unfavorable to assassinate their target in the underground cave.

After all, there was only one entrance.

Furthermore, the unfavorable positioning would easily expose their presence before they could come close to their targets with stealth.

Whichever is the case, Linetta could only stay vigilant until she reached the capital. The only person she could trust was her sister, Lilias, and Vaan.

The person had taught her very valuable lessons that it was hard for her not to put her trust in him. Vaan was someone she could depend on.

”Vaan, can we talk for a bit? ”

”Of course, my Lady. ”

Shortly after, Linetta had a quiet conversation with Vaan regarding her concerns about assassins and her route to the capital.

Moving forward, the escort group reached the northern up of the Blackmoon Region unexpectedly smoothly.

Although they encountered a few Rank 1 and Rank 2 Dark Hellhounds on the road, it was a small issue dealing with such beasts in small numbers.

Linetta had been eager to test the attack power of her earth magic-imbued black spears. However, she ended up leaving all the Rank 2 Dark Hellhounds to Captain Rhys under Vaan ’s recommendation.
