The Land Of Thorns
Behind the explosion part 4

‘Ugh, the smell of alcohol, sweat, animal oil as well as this foul smell. The smell of this room is really disgusting.’

Thought the contactless Ludi immediately smelled the smell of the room when he just entered the room.

It's in that storage shed. Ludi looked at the floor so dirty, in a room that was not too wide it was seen a lot of piles of barrels and wooden boxes that were piled around the irregular walls in the room, seeing it makes this place look so cramped not to mention with a table and chair in the middle of the room that looks messy.

The more into the room Ludi saw the table was full of piles of cards that were messy, the card looks wet with bottles - bottles of drinks around it that look spilled it..

‘It's been a pleasure of their lives, are they that smart to play stra-karte, it's a pity they stopped in the middle of the game when we ambushed them.’

Ludi thought back when he saw the cards - the middle card was divided into each side of the table, and saw various images of different characters on the card.

It was a fairly common card game on the continent of Blume, a tactical game that relies on strategy and is combined with a role-playing game like chess which is only lighter than chess strategy because the game relies on luck, the better the role in the more number of cards obtained.

Turning his gaze away from it, Ludi seemed to try to open the stacked wooden box.

When opening the box, Ludi quickly stepped back while pushing himself away. The stench was more and more clearly smelled by him and it came from an urn the same size as the food bowl in the shop, and around him was a dry straw that seemed to protect the small urn.

The exposed part of the urn looks like it is tightly sealed using animal skin that is fastened as a cover. Ludi took the jar and slowly opened it, making the smell even more pungent. The stench was like the smell coming from natural gas and the fishy smell like an egg, which of course Ludi did not know about it.

Inside the urn, Ludi saw a black liquid that looked so thick, it was a ter liquid that seemed to be mixed with various materials that Ludi was unaware of, but there was one thing Ludi knew from the thick black liquid that he looked familiar with when he was in the forest. This liquid is flammable.

‘Don't tell me those wooden boxes contain all these things.’

Ludi quickly put away the jar and box that had been opened, then returned to open the other box, making Ludi look surprised to see another box that he opened containing the same thing in it.

‘What are they keeping this much here for?’

Ludi's gawking-looking mind opened his eyes so wide looking at the wooden boxes around him. Then he was seen laughing looking back at the table behind him.

“Attacking this place will be easy if one of them drops a torch near the pile of this wooden box.”

Edgar muttered to himself as he chuckled at the thought of the incident.

Braak!

The gliding sound from the open door made Ludi shrug his shoulders.

“You are right Ludi! We have to do something to help uncle!”

“Can you more slowly open the door. There's no one here, don't surprise like that.”

“What is wrong? Why?”

The mercenary looked at Ludi in surprise, which then made Ludi just sigh.

“No - nothing, you just slightly ruined my entertainment. I've found something that might be useful to warm you up. Under that hail, ter works better than animal oil for making fire.”

Ludi took the urn from the wooden box she had just opened earlier and showed the tightly sealed jar to her.

“That's great, then did you find something to stop Marlo?”

“I'm still looking for it, I hope to find something I can use as a trap ... oh, check this ter I haven't tried to revive it with fire.”

Ludi looked around the room and in saying that Ludi threw the urn he held at the person suddenly. Making him who received the urn seem unprepared to catch.

The urn that was not perfectly caught tiu repeatedly bounced apart from the mercenary's hands, he further stepped back adjusting his position following the urn, he said, until he fell to see the jar soar into the street and broke out spilling liquid inside.

Bffw!

The sound of fire coming from the urn when it broke out on the road, it was burning so quickly that it burned every single liquid that was spilled. They both looked so surprised to see it. Moreover, Ludi who was seen gulping down his saliva and started sweating so much, this room seemed even more terrifying to him.

“It's terrible! How did the fire come to light so quickly? Do you want to burn everything out Ludi?”

He turned towards Ludi looking ascertained, and he saw Ludi who was distancing himself from the wooden box nearby. Ludi currently looked frightened.

“Hah? I don't know that either, I don't even see any flames igniting the liquid. But I think we found something terrible.”

The fire seemed to still burn perfectly under the rain and made Ludi turn his gaze, he looked closely at the fire that was being repeatedly swayed by the wind.

“We will bring this thing, I'm sure it can stop Marlo.”

“Did you find an idea?”

“I'm not too sure, but I hope it will work. Help me bring this thing!”
