Bab 639: DCXXXIX. The Investigation

After walking a few meters slowly away and approaching the farm, something caught the Xis' attention.

"Arf! Arf, arf!" 

The new little dog from Dag's adoptive family began to bark compulsively, stopping at the door and warning everyone present that an unwanted guest was approaching with a suspicious air.

"Arf! Arf!" the little dog continued, until, to the sound of his barking, it joined that of heavy steps on the wooden floor of the house.

*Screeck* The door was opened wide, and Eirik, still half-sleepy, looked outside the house with a confused air.

As the little watchdog continued to bark at the stranger, the mighty lumberjack's gaze fell on that strange figure, particularly on his black robe, which covered every part of his body, including his head.

"Hey! Did you get lost? Who are you? What are you doing in front of my farm in the middle of the night?" Eirik yelled while other footsteps were heard coming from his shoulders.
