53 Chapter 50: Journey To Aste; Horsing Around

Before we head off for Aste with a large carriage fitted with a soft new mattress, a luxurious carpet- a piece of it at least- and the pillows, as well as duvet, a four days' worth of packed food; mostly fried meats, and my pouch of gold even heavier than before, I thought it wise to have Anselm scout the remaining camps as well as the scene of the ones we cleared.

Anselm is proud of such a cautious initiative of course but at the same time feels apprehensive about the undertaking, he says he still feels that staff piercing through him.

I can understand this much, but alas, the threat of the Bull General remains real and present with every passing moment. And it's even more frightening given the discoveries we make with the little cursory glance over the camps.
