"This is the place I spotted them," said Brad after leading them into the forest.

"Hmm… We've been heading north this whole time… Now that I think about it, where are the locations of the other villages? Are they north of your village?" Noel asked.

"Yes. Is there something wrong with it?" Brad tilted his head in confusion.

"I see. In other words, the bandits have been attacking you from the north, eliminating one village after another."

"Ah. So, that's how the village chief knows we will be targeted soon." Brad gasped.

The literacy skill for a commoner was very low, so it was understandable that he wasn't aware of this.

However, for Noel, this was just a common sense. This was the discrepancy between nobles and commoners, especially the ones from the village.

"Anyway, is there something in the north? I mean, like an important and huge place that can be used to host the bandits?" Noel asked again, inciting his train of thought.

'He really does ask for the cooperation of everyone. Just by asking this question, the hunter will feel that he's become a part of the group. This way, he will feel great if we manage to eliminate the bandits. I see, this is how Noel becomes a part of them and treats them sincerely..

'If Noel just asked for the data and where they came from, he would be able to figure this out easily. Yet, he asked the hunter's cooperation.' thought Anna, assessing Noel's every single action.

"I think there is one important place." Brad nodded in agreement while pointing at the north. "If I'm not wrong, there used to be a mine in that area. It stopped a decade ago."
