Chapter 92.3 - The Second Year at the Academy - Another Craftsman (3)
I explore the forest where the scent of spring wafts through.
During this season, gathering materials is easy.
While searching for signs of orcs, I picked leaves of Seron grass and young Lanim grass.
As I dig up the roots of Nilcabu grass, I finally spot the orc footprints with an upward glance.
I stop and observe from up close. They're old, at least a week old.
I look around, but there are no signs of battle. The footprints headed toward the grasslands.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.
Small goblins might venture there, but big orcs avoid the open plains.
I didn't know the forest had a break in it.
Clearly, they're newcomers.
There's no use chasing after them.
Their tracks are fading, and they're probably already defeated.
I find goblin footprints too. It seems they've returned.
If goblins increase steadily, they'll approach the original balance.
Even if orcs are stronger, their breeding power is incredible when they gather in numbers.
I'm not thrilled about them increasing, but for now, I'll reduce the orcs and give them a push.
After about an hour of exploration, I somehow managed to find fresh orc footprints.
There are five to 6 of them.
Smaller footprints got mixed in, so there might be young ones too.
If they're females, there's a high chance they're forming a settlement.
I should deal with them promptly.
I activate [Night Seeker] and start tracking."
