Kars didn't dare to look up, the scales on the back of his neck trembling with fear. He said, "Yes, they... they were salvaged from the mountain flood... the corpses of Wild Beasts and Beastmen..."
"Beastman corpses?" Evangeline raised an eyebrow.
'The Blackwater Tribe really is a lawless place. They'll do anything, not even sparing the bodies of other Beastmen.'
"It... it was my subordinates. They didn't know any better. They were starving..." Kars replied cautiously.
Nix gently set Evangeline down on a pile of bones in the swamp, pressing the serrated vine umbrella he was holding into her palm. He then turned to Kars and said in a low voice, "Bring me the plague-ridden corpse."
Kars didn't dare to delay. With a wave of his hand, two Beastmen carried over a corpse wrapped in reeds.
