The Transmigrated Novelist

Master Troy, his young disciple, and the accompanying soldiers were walking slowly, and checking the way in the East direction, but Master Troy seemed like he didn't have any intention of searching.

More than that, he seemed like he was certain that this direction was the wrong direction towards their goal, and that he didn't care much.

The disciple by his side didn't seem to bother much either, as it was only the soldiers behind that seemed to be combing the area once again from the start.

Roy was quite surprised by the attitude of the duo, as he couldn't help but think that these guys were certain of the direction of the location of the Green Horn Snakes lair.

But how!?

They had arrived here just a few hours ago, so shouldn't it be impossible for them to understand something like that?

Well, there were two possible thoughts in Roy's mind. First, they had a cheat ability or skill that gave them the security to find what they wanted.

Second, they had some kind of treasure that would be able to do the same thing. Either way, it seemed like as long as he stayed by these guys' side he would be able to have a look at the lair.

The other soldiers seemed to have understood that there was something wrong, or suspicious as well, but none of them seem to dare and express their thoughts.

They had neither the standing, nor the strength to be able to resist even the sneeze of the two guys in charge of them, so they could only do their duty dutifully with their heads lowered.

Just as Roy had thought the first day went by without any hitch, or problem since the area was already clean of all the weak beasts, and animals.

When the light started fading away, that Young Master beside Master Troy said with a natural and detached voice,

"Master is tired from the long journey so we will return earlier to the camp, you can keep searching for two more hours and then return!"

With that said, the Master-disciple duo didn't seem to care about the opinion of Roy and the other soldiers as they turned around and slowly made their way back to the camp.

The faces of the soldiers turned ashen as they didn't expect the two of them to do something like this, but none of them dared to rebut that order.

They were all scared of the existence that was Master Troy, a Rank 5 Mage wasn't something that they could dare to mess with.

It was only more than half an hour after the Master-disciple duo had left the place, that the soldiers finally started voicing their complaints, and unwillingness.

"These guys are supposed to be great Masters but in fact, they are just old trash!"

"Right, right! Making us work and endanger ourselves while they go and rest with beauties in their tents!"

The captains of the teams wanted to rebuke these guys for their words, but the truth was that they kind of felt the same.

It seemed like the reinforcements they had so happily waited for were nothing more than some kind of poisonous bubble, causing more harm than good.

At this moment though Roy didn't seem to join the crowd, as he was looking at his surroundings more carefully, and in high alert.

He couldn't help but feel like something was wrong with this place, but he couldn't exactly point his finger towards what.

From the moment he had arrived in this world he had been paying more and more attention to his instincts as a Warrior, and now he felt that there was something wrong.

But no matter how much he looked around or paid attention to his surroundings he couldn't find anything that didn't make sense.

As he was thinking about this, he suddenly felt like two evil eyes were piercing through the darkness, and reaching his position, and looking at him with clear killing intent.

Roy felt like his body was frozen at that moment, but he didn't dare to show any sign of retaliation against the pressure that covered his body.

He was stuck in the air, as even time seemed to stop at that point, and he was turned into a live statue. The pressure lingered around him for a few seconds, but it finally dissipated, as if it had lost interest in him.

The moment that the pressure was gone, Roy started breathing air like crazy, like he hadn't been breathing for a long time.

Seeing and hearing his reactions everyone around him started laughing out loud, as they thought that he was since they were left there alone, as one even said,

"Hhahah~! Kid, I thought that you were some kind of talented soldier who would grow in life, but it seems like I have been extremely wrong.

You are still nothing more than a kid! Hahahha~!"

His laughter was followed by the laughing sounds of the other soldiers in there, as even the captain that seemed to trust him before was looking at him with a complicated look.

He had never seen Roy act like that, so it was a bit weird, even when he was fighting the Rank 2 beasts alone he seemed always composed and determined in his actions.

He couldn't understand why he was acting like this at the moment, so he couldn't help but ask,

"Kid, what is wrong with you!? I don't think you are the type to get scared first in this place!"

"I have a really bad feeling about this! Why would they leave us alone in this forest to continue searching, when they returned.

I don't think that they want to play and mock us! What's the point of a tiger mocking the ants."

"You mean!?"

"To pull the big fish, one needs to place a small fish as the bait at the tip. With the current situation at the moment, who can be totally sure that were aren't that small fish?"

The captain looked at Roy with a surprised and startled expression, but the more he thought the more he found it plausible.

But as he was falling deeper into his thoughts, Roy's voice sounded again as he said,

"Well this is just my thought, and I have no evidence to back it up. So, you can take it as the mumbling of a coward. But I for myself, prefer to be better safe, than sorry!"

With those words, Roy stopped speaking totally, as he started retrieving his breath, and calm, while keeping all his senses on alert.

He still didn't understand from where this uneasiness he felt came from, but after that episode of earlier now he was fully assured that there was something wrong.

Still, they didn't need to continue for long, as 2 hours were passed rather quickly, so they all started making their way back to the camp.

Now it was the time for all the teams to return back, and they were curious to know if the other directions had made any progress.

Different from all other soldiers though, Roy stood behind and didn't enter the camp. Since he was still unsure of what was going on, he decided to continue searching around.

Only when you knew yourself, and your enemy will one be undefeated in battles. Right now, he had an idea about the enemy, but knew nothing of him, and even less of his trap and ability.

Right now he didn't even understand why his instincts were alarming him. Not to mention that he was extremely weaker than his opponent.

The greatest ability in his arsenal was that he was a Rank 3 Acidic Mage, and his Rank 1 Poison Mage, but against a Rank 5 Mage, those two were useless.

With those thoughts in his mind, he quickly started going around the camp looking for more possible clues.

It was impossible for the mastermind to be targeting just these few unworthy soldiers, it was completely meaningless.

Meaning that there was a greater target, and the greatest target that came into Roy's head was the other Masters and Young Nobles.

With those thoughts in his mind, he started looking around, when he suddenly witnessed a scene that he might have never thought of at first.

Beside the riverbed there were a few clothes folded, and set in order, and there was clearly a dress below, with the undergarments of a lady on top.

He had seen the same dress earlier today, but those undergarments were truly a surprise even for him.

Normally the undergarments in this world were just pure white, especially for the high society people, and their cut was almost the same.

But this pair of undergarments was different from the usual ones, or different from those in the memories of the nerd and his 'Master' and were extremely close to those in his original memories.

This pair was black and was adorned with laces, while the crotch area seemed to be thinner than those normal ones.

Roy couldn't believe his eyes, he would have never thought that the iron beauty he had seen earlier in the day would wear something like this.

Talk about a lucky encounter! At that moment he couldn't help but think that perhaps this was that legendary lucky pervert incident that happened in anime and novels.

But as soon as he thought that he wanted to erase that thought because once this incident happened, the luck factor seemed to be completely dispersed and it would be followed by disaster.

Just as he thought like that, a voice broke the silence of the night, and startled him,

"Who dares to peep on this Aunty here!?"
