...
Matthew turned his gaze westward upon hearing the voice.
Only to see a group of beings in bright red robes suddenly appearing over the horizon.
The composition of this group was quite diverse, with fairy-like creatures making up more than half, followed by astral humans, dwarves, various orcs... and even demons and evil spirits!
Matthew took note.
The robes these people wore were very similar to those of the Little Stream group he had encountered earlier.
The difference was.
Their red robes did not have the golden trims like those of Little Stream.
Perhaps this signified a difference in level.
They were all priests or followers of the Mad Second Hand Temple.
Matthew made this judgment in his mind.
The way these Second Hand followers moved forward was also quite peculiar; they weren't flying, nor were they walking, but instead moving like birds do on the ground—
Hopping.
Except that their hopping was incredibly large in scale, almost like blinking.
Soon enough.
