“Eh?”
The hunters from the Shadow Patrol stared at Ihan as if to ask what he was talking about.
Ihan quickly changed his words. “It’s nothing. More importantly, the Sea Serpent—what’s the situation?”
The Shadow Patrol hunters explained what had happened.
Ever since Professor Uregleom’s party had found traces of the Sea Serpent, the sailors and the Shadow Patrol hunters had been keeping a close eye on its movements.
A monster that size could cause enormous damage to the city if it moved recklessly.
If it came close to the harbor, they had to take it down before it approached.
If it started thrashing near the docks, dozens of ships could be—
“But it looks like it’s getting closer,” one of them said.
“Damn.”
“Eh?”
“It’s nothing. So… is it confirmed that it’s approaching?”
Ihan fought to keep a sigh down.
Now that things had come to this, they needed to call Professor Boladi, notify the harbor and evacuate people, then summon the city guard.
He could handle most things, but he really didn’t want to summon Professor Boladi.
“It’s not certain yet. We have to watch its movements a bit more…”
“We still need to prepare.”
A skilled hunter finishes all preparations before the hunt begins.
