Did Geralt hesitate?
He did, but his gaze still fell upon the silent camp. After a moment, he asked in a low voice, "If this is a trap and these are bait, then where is the danger?"
Upon hearing this, Lance knew Geralt had agreed to the action; otherwise, he wouldn't have pursued the question.
"Hahaha~" Lance couldn't help but laugh, his face brimming with confidence.
Geralt and the others looked at Lance, puzzled. How could he laugh at a time like this?
"I laugh because…" Lance began, then paused, suddenly realizing his intended words might be inauspicious. He quickly changed tack, "You're mostly right. But these aren't bait—they're sacrifices."
"Hmm?" Geralt and the others didn't quite understand, their confusion evident.
"All those people are gathered in that clearing. Don't you find that strange?" Lance raised his hand, pointing. "Because that's where a ritual is taking place."
