Standing at the entrance of the cave was Grandpa Stumps and a few gnomes.
But at the same time, they didn't take down the barrier that was around the cave.
As well, there was no way that this large cave only had these few gnomes in it in the first place.
So it was clear that they still didn't completely trust him.
Or rather, it was better to say that they didn't completely trust us.
It was hard to blame these gnomes for being distrusting when they were surrounded by humans like this. This was all after they had been attacked by the corruption energy and the strange creatures.
So it wasn't strange that they were a bit cautious.
Seeing me walk over, Grandpa Stumps waved at me to come and talk to the gnome that was beside him.
The gnome also noticed this and narrowed his eyes to look at me.
But I didn't panic as I walked over to stand in front of the barrier.
