Staring at the girl in front of them who claimed to be the princess of the Spirit Rat Tribe, everyone was taken aback.
The girl was very short, or at least, on the surface, she appeared to be about the same height as a dwarf, perhaps even shorter. Her figure wasn't robust like a dwarf's either. She was extremely slender. Honestly, in Duanmu Huai's view, this girl looked more like a walking Barbie doll...
"We are just a group of travelers."
Duanmu Huai stepped forward to face Melfy, gauging her intently. Frankly, Melfy seemed even smaller in front of him, hardly bigger than a figurine.
"Then, I ask that you please leave this place."
Despite feeling somewhat unsettled by Duanmu Huai's presence, Melfy took a deep breath and stared back at him stoically.
"This is Cursed land, anyone who enters it will become ensnared by the curse."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.
"If it's not too much trouble, would you mind explaining further?"
"...… Sure."
