บท 707: The Gambit Against Voraxa      

"Either way, your life is already at stake the moment you let us enter here. Whether you eat the meat or not, Voraxa will kill you. Am I not right?" Ren challenged, his words hanging in the air like a sobering truth. 

The villagers, caught in the moral quandary of their own making, exchanged uneasy glances as the weight of their choices bore down on them. 

The once-unquestionable authority of the elder now faced scrutiny, and the town square became a battleground of conflicting interests and impending doom.

Morgrimm sighed heavily, the weight of the situation evident in the lines etched on his weathered face. "We shouldn't have let you in if we had known that you killed a Giant Purple Worm. But you saved Nori," he admitted, a mix of regret and frustration in his voice. "We were ecstatic at the thought of having meat after so many years. But when Nori told us about it, we were horrified at what's about to come."
