As I stood outside the room, I couldn't help staring at the door that had been closed behind .
As I stood there, I really didn't know what to do.
After all, eting the count and hoping that I would be able to borrow so of his n was my final resort.
There was the option of using that money to hire rcenaries in the city, but the mont that I did that and the count found it, it would be considered hostility towards the count. And there wasn't any noble that I was close to in the city that I could borrow n from either…
So now I was just stuck here with nothing to do.
The most logical plan now was to leave this place since I had already achieved what I wanted to achieve by buying the food and supplies, but there was a part of that didn't want to leave.
After all, there was the side quest that I wanted to finish.
I didn't know what kind of things I would face in the future, but there was nothing wrong with getting more items from the system in preparation. As long as I had these items, I would surely have an easier ti.
That was the faith that I had in the system that my saviour gave .
But there was nothing that I could do as I was just standing there in front of that door.
So with a heavy heart, I turned to leave.
This ti, the servants and the guards didn't seem to care about as they watched go. The only way that they would do anything was if I suddenly stopped and didn't leave.
As I was walking out, I couldn't help thinking about all the different things that I could do. However, I wasn't really able to think of a single good idea that didn't have so kind of consequence attached to it.
It seed that unless I risked my life or the people I cared about, I wouldn't be able to do anything.
So my heart hung heavy in my chest.
That is until I suddenly heard a voice that said, "Pst, over here."
I was still in the count's manor when I heard this voice and I couldn't help looking around.
However, there wasn't a single person who was currently in this empty corridor with . All I could see was the terrible art that the count hung up in this hall.
So I couldn't help knitting my brows before walking forward again.
But then that voice said once more, "Not that way, co with ."
This ti, there was also sothing that hit in the back of the head.
I turned around to see where it ca from, but once again, I wasn't able to see a single thing.
It was as if there was a ghost that was playing around with , taunting .
If it really was a ghost, I wouldn't be surprised since I was sure that there were plenty of innocent people who had been hard by that pig count.
But in the end, there was sothing that caught my attention.
It was a few rocks on the ground that ford an arrow that was pointing in a certain direction. This was placed right in front of , as if it was leading to a certain place.
Seeing this, I couldn't help revealing a bitter look on my face that was filled with a bit of disbelief.
I couldn't help wondering if soone was really using this kind of thod to lead sowhere.
But there was no denying that this thing was on the ground in front of .
So with a heavy sigh, I decided to head in the direction of this arrow.
I turned around and started moving in the opposite direction that I had been going. If there had been any guards around, they definitely would have forced to leave.
Luckily for , the guards didn't show any interest in .
It was as if they weren't afraid that I would do anything.
Following this arrow, I soon arrived at the end of the corridor where there was a fork that was waiting for . I had walked past the set of stairs that I had co down from and had reached the end of the corridor.
As I was looking around, I found that there was another arrow made of stones that was waiting for .
So I took that fork that the arrow was pointing in and followed it until…I found another arrow that was pointing at one of the doors in this hallway.
I looked at this door for a bit before opening it and peeking in.
I found that this was a simple kitchen, but there was no one in this kitchen right now.
At the back of the kitchen, there was a door that had another arrow in front of it.
When I went out this door, I found that I was outside. However, this place was on the side of the manor that was still inside of the fence, so it wasn't as if I could leave from this place.
On the ground, there was another arrow pointing in a certain direction.
I couldn't help revealing a bitter smile when I saw this.
No matter how I looked at it, it was like being sent on a wild goose chase.
But for so reason, I couldn't help feeling a bit excited by this.
This was like a real adventure.
Following the arrow, I was led to a gap in the fence that I had to duck through and then I made my way through the city following the arrows that had been left.
Eventually, I was led to a place that didn't seem like it was very safe…
There were people who had dangerous looks that were walking around this place.
But I didn't have to wander this place for long before I reached a house that had an arrow in front of it.
This arrow was pointing for to enter this house.
