Strange creatures that aren't human?
Upon hearing Freg's warning, Ronald wasn't too surprised.
After all, he had prepared to deal with various troubles before setting off on this journey, so receiving such news was just another expected problem.
Reflecting on his past experiences, when had he ever gone on an expedition without encountering trouble?
"Can you describe the situation with these strange creatures in detail?"
Ronald continued to inquire.
Freg straightforwardly continued to explain:
"I discovered those things three days ago."
"After crossing this mountain, there's a rift to the west, which is where these things have gathered temporarily below. These creatures have varying appearances, but you can roughly see a few major group classifications, and there's also a noticeable magic fluctuation among them."
"If I had to make an analogy..."
"It's like a bunch of summoned beings suddenly lost their master's control and gathered in this godforsaken place."
