It paid off

The forest that we arrived in was called the Wynshall Woods.

This was a forest that was in the north of the kingdom, a place that was considered quite remote, which was why this was the final location that we came to.

This was the furthest place from our starting position in the capital after all, so this was the last place that we arrived in.

Before this, we had already cleared out most of the places that had increased monster activity and stuck around to make sure that the monsters didn't swarm the surrounding villages.

The funny thing was that each of these places was also in a forest.

It seemed that it was just natural for monsters to gather in a forest, or was it because the ones that planted these dark crystals just chose to put them in a forest?

Maybe there was something special about forests that helped monsters gather more easily?
