"We just walked this road!"
Upon hearing this, Aaron immediately became alert.
However, the others did not take it seriously.
Aesop, leaning against the hood of the car, lazily said:
"Henderson, you must be exhausted. We've been walking this road for hours without a single fork in the road. How could we possibly have gotten past this point!"
"I can drive the carriage too," Hall said, "though I can only keep it moving forward, but it will give you a rest."
But Henderson shook his head and said:
"I'm not tired, but I misjudged things. Hmm, I shouldn't have been thinking like that."
Bailey joked, "It must be Reagan's shouting that disturbed Henderson, making him so distracted that he had delusions."
"You heartless bastards!" Reagan jumped up and yelled, "I've lost my beloved treasure for your amusement!"
Instead of being grateful, you made fun of me!
Hall said, "Alright, Bailey, Reagan, keep it to yourself."
At this point, the car finally quieted down.
Aaron, on the other hand, carefully observed the situation on the road.
He suddenly said, "I remember, for several hours in a row, we didn't encounter any pedestrians or carriages. Is this normal?"
Aaron had spent his entire life in the library and rarely left the house, so he lacked confidence in the current situation.
Upon hearing this, Aesop, who always wore a smile, gradually lost his smile:
"That's not very common. Generally speaking, you should run into some people every half hour."
"That's not all!" Henderson couldn't help but turn his head.
"Not only were there no people, but we didn't encounter a single house, not even half an acre of farmland, and we didn't see any signs of human habitation!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't feel like I've walked this road before! It seems exactly the same!"
"That is indeed strange," Bailey said. "Half a day is enough time for us to pass two castles in the kingdom, and it's impossible that we wouldn't see a single manor or inn along the way!"
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became heavy.
On the contrary, Reagan, who had just lost his beloved possession, tried to lighten the mood:
"Relax. In this world, even dwarfs exist, so what's a shortage of desolate, uninhabited roads?"
Aaron started from O'Brien Bay and has now arrived at Freak Hills.
A huge mountain ridge blocks the way to the north.
Crossing ridges or basins would be too time-consuming, so the vehicle planned to go through the Kofman Gorge.
This road is the only way to reach the Kofman Gorge.
If even this road can be considered a wild road, then there are hardly any roads in the kingdom that can be considered main roads.
But the tense atmosphere didn't last long; everyone except Aaron quickly forgot about the strangeness.
Hall began to sing, and the bard played the lyre for him.
Everyone started laughing and chatting again, but the wax figure under the mask had a blank expression.
The vehicle continued driving forward for quite some time.
Just then, Aaron suddenly noticed something.
He immediately pointed in that direction: "What's that?"
Everyone looked over.
It was a dark object, like the remains of something burned.
Reagan's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"Oh! That's my baby!"
At that moment, Henderson pulled the horse back and stopped the car.
Reagan jumped out of the car and walked toward the black object with comical steps.
He picked up the remains, tears welling in his eyes, and sadly told his friends:
"My baby! It's completely broken!"
However, even Pele had no intention of making fun of Reagan at this moment.
His face was ashen: "Just now, we saw Reagan throw a burning bench into the back of the car. If this was Reagan's bench, doesn't that mean an eerie atmosphere is spreading through the ranks?"
Henderson exclaimed excitedly, "I told you so! I've walked this path before! And now you see, I really have!"
Hall, however, asked suspiciously, "Henderson, could it be that you secretly turned around and brought us back here to save face?"
Henderson glared at Hall: "You were all sitting in the car. If I turned around, wouldn't you have noticed?"
No one can refute the fact that Henderson is telling the truth.
Ethan recoiled in horror: "Doesn't this mean that we're moving forward, but we're actually going back in time?"
Only then did Reagan realize the seriousness of the problem, and he stopped making any noise, quietly putting away the burnt bench.
Pele looked at Aaron: "Mr. Juan, is this some kind of magic trick of yours as well?"
"This has nothing to do with me," at least it wasn't Aaron's doing.
At this moment, Aaron was certain that they had been trapped in some kind of space.
Or perhaps, it's time.
In short, what is affecting them cannot be anything ordinary; extraordinary power is flowing around them.
Aaron, however, did not believe it was entirely a coincidence.
If this area were to devour any passersby, then it's impossible that only Aaron and his group were here.
At the very least, there should be some remains of a household or an abandoned carriage.
However, there was nothing on the road; it was so clean that it looked like an ordinary road that pedestrians would simply pass by.
Therefore, there is reason to suspect that this strange phenomenon is only meant to devour them.
If someone did this intentionally, what was their purpose?
Aaron didn't think that someone with such extraordinary power would specifically target a few homeless entertainers.
If he were to be targeted, Aaron felt that he should be targeted as well.
He is a transcendent being, an extraordinary individual, and also a perfumer.
Although he didn't have a perfume bottle on him at the moment, his entire body was a product of the perfumer's abilities.
Even Aesop could smell the fragrance on him, let alone perfumers who are sensitive to scents.
Or perhaps, the target of Aaron's actions is not a specific person, but the entire region itself.
It detected Aaron's peculiarity, or the special blend of spices flowing within him, and thus imprisoned them here.
In any case, if they don't try to escape, they will likely die in this area.
This ability cannot be without weaknesses; since it has an entrance, it must also have an exit.
But staying put won't solve the problem.
If he doesn't know the principle, he has to keep trying and making mistakes.
Trial and error, trial and error; you have to try to make mistakes.
Aaron said to the group, "Staying here is pointless. Let's get in the car and move forward a bit more!"
Upon hearing this, everyone agreed to Aaron's proposal.
Bailey walked up to Reagan: "Where's your bench?"
"In my arms."
"Give it to me!"
Reagan was reluctant, but he still handed it over.
Pele threw it directly into the middle of the road.
Aaron immediately understood that he wanted to use the stool as a marker.
The carriage continued its journey.
The atmosphere in the car was extremely tense, and the only way to liven things up was to try and keep it light.
A while later, the bench reappeared in front of them.
Aaron frowned; he couldn't let this go on by himself.
He then suggested, "Let's turn around and try going in the opposite direction this time."
Aaron hadn't expected to encounter such trouble so soon after stepping out the door.
As the person in the mirror says, perfumers never have peace.
