Chapter 67: Vern's mark

The frown on Rufina's forehead still hasn't faded at all. It seems that she's still completely curious about why the blacksmith is going to that place. Hearing Rufina's words, this lake definitely must have only been reserved for the souls of fairies who have passed away. Strange, but why is the blacksmith desperate to go there? What exactly is he doing?

"I'm sorry I wish to take you to the lake, but it seems that the current conditions don't allow me to leave here." Rufina sighed, a frustrated look on her face. "Unfortunately, I must continue to monitor the movements of the barian fairies and not let them know of our existence."

"Yes, we understand Rufina. Your current task is far more important than this one." Ellette patted Rufina's shoulder lightly. "All of Malana's villagers need you here."

Rufina slowly nodded her head. "Yes, that's true. But, you can't go there alone. I will have one of my best guards take you to the lake."
