Taking Advantage of a Mistake

Deep into the evening, Arkas and his group finally successfully arrived at the Spider Valley.

After putting down the bags he was carrying, Arkas took in a deep breath of air, then told the black robed merchant beside him, "Sir Wanu, the sky is getting darker. Why not let us rest nearby for the night, then search the surroundings to see if there are any steel mines tomorrow?"

"That's good, look, there's a small hill up in front. We can stay there for the night!" Looking at the small hill not far away, the black robed merchant by the name of Wanu heaved a sigh of relief.

Under Goode's orders, he and another one of his colleagues had disguised themselves as merchants and headed deep into the Terras Forest, acting as bait together with Arkas and the rest. According to his prior arrangement with Goode, he was to rest at the small hill in front after they closed in on the Spider Valley.
