Robert hurriedly explained, fearing that Herag might cut him down with a sword on a whim.
Although he was a Great Knight, he had witnessed Wizards in action more than once.
He had no means to counter those eerie spells and could only allow Wizards to have their way.
Robert never considered counterattacking a Wizard; he only thought about how to survive if Herag made a move against him.
Herag carefully analyzed what he said, sensing that Robert wasn't lying, yet he felt there was something amiss that he couldn't quite pinpoint.
"You said you were trapped in a house, which one?" Herag questioned.
Robert glanced around, recognizing the nearby house for a moment, then said, "It's this house."
Herag turned to look; it was also a three-story building, with no lights on inside.
He stepped back a few paces, distancing himself from the house.
"Did you hear footsteps behind me?" Herag retreated a few more steps, and the footsteps followed.
