Trash of the Count's Family

Chapter 169: Perhaps (4)

“That is crazy.”

Cale received the large wine glass from the young man.

He was currently at the closest village to the Lake of Despair.

This was the only small inn and restaurant in this village. The owner's grandson shook his hand frantically after hearing Rosalyn ask about the Lake of Despair.

“It might be okay in another season, but saying that you will go there in January is just asking to die.”

“Is that so? I guess people do go during the other seasons?”

Cale took a sip of the alcohol before quickly stopping.

The alcohol was warm. It was also pretty strong.

‘I asked for weak alcohol.’

This was the weakest alcohol they had but it already felt like his neck and stomach were burning.

Human, is alcohol tasty? Why do you keep drinking even though you are frowning?

Cale turned his gaze toward the empty chair. Although it looked empty, the invisible Raon was currently sitting there. Cale looked around before sternly starting to speak.

“No.”

A six-year-old drinking alcohol? That was not allowed, even if he was a Dragon.

What if Raon got drunk and blew up a mountain or something? That would be a giant disaster.

-…Alright.

Cale ignored Raon's disappointed voice. He then focused on Rosalyn's conversation with the man instead.

Currently, Cale's group had all dyed their hair the common brown color with magic. Of course, the Whales Paseton and Archie were wearing robes due to their stunning appearances.

“Mm, there are people who try to go during the spring or summer.”

The owner’s grandson lightly shook his shoulders.

This was one of the Five Forbidden Regions.

The courageous people did try to get there.

However, the results were never good. The man peeked over at his grandmother who was sitting by the fireplace before continuing to speak.

“The people who ran away after seeing the snowstorm managed to survive, however, only half of those who went into the snowstorm managed to survive.”

“But half of that group did survive.”

Choi Han interjected into the conversation.

The man shook his head.

“The ones who returned alive were all severely poisoned. They went blind soon after they returned.”

Blindness.

Cale had heard that the poison in the snowstorm made people grow weaker while going blind and losing their sense of direction.

Cale thought about this fact and started to think.

‘This is actually a cruel world if you think about it.’

The Desert of Death spewed out dead mana while the Lake of Despair had a poisonous snowstorm.

This world also had many scary existences outside of turmoil between people for power. There were many strong and cruel beings throughout this world, such as Beast people or races with the darkness affinity.

‘But that is why the monsters can't do anything.’

They all prevented the monsters from running wild. This led to the regions with monsters being very small. Of course, Cale did not care as he had no plans to meet with monsters.

The owner's grandson cautiously warned them as if he was worried about their first guests in a while.

“Anyway, please carefully think about it if you plan to go there. It is a very scary place.”

“Sully.”

The grandson stopped talking after hearing his grandmother, who had not said anything until now, call out his name. The inn owner looked toward the fire and started to speak.

“There is something I've felt as I watched people head to the Lake of Despair.”

The old woman's shadow seemed to fill up the walls that looked to be as old as her.

She had lived here since she was young. She ended up marrying a man who was an adventurer and the two of them had built this inn together.

They then had a daughter and watched her get married and give birth to her grandson.

The old woman turned her head.

She made eye contact with Cale.

“None of them listen.”

None of the people heading to the lake ever listened.
