Chapter 31: A different weapon

"What does it say, Matt?" Alice asked quickly when she saw Matt frown while reading one of the scrolls.

She still didn't learn the ancient language perfectly, so while she could read some things, there wasn't much of it.

That's why she would need Matt's help to know exactly what it said.

Matt nodded a little, "They seem to be sending messages to each other. It's possible that the cave was always in the hands of the devourers, and that's why they had that information. Maybe the dragon was being slowly wounded by them so that the herb we got could absorb its corpse. According to this, the devourers seem to be preparing for something big." Matt replied.

Both girls frowned as they heard this.

"It seems that the devourers have become more greedy lately. Even though they have much of the world to themselves, they still want more." Alice replied slightly angrily.
