Chapter 174: Heading South

Talila sat in the Vassia City's adventurer guild when she began hearing rumors about a boy who had decimated hundreds of church knights and attacked the Duke's castle.

Intrigued, she inquired around and discovered that it was the same boy she had encountered before. Talila wondered how he was faring and had been longing to see him again.

At that moment, Cecelia and Radyn took a seat across from her. The group's cleric, Cecelia, looked at Talila and spoke, "Well, Tali, we'll be embarking on a significant trade mission to the Land of Mediterra, visiting the Solaris and Lunaris Empires."

Talila's face lit up with a smile upon hearing her friends' words. She couldn't wait to depart from the Avalon Empire.

It was widely known that the specter of war loomed ominously on the horizon, threatening to engulf the empire from all sides.

This apprehension had prompted the imperial army to ramp up its recruitment efforts two years ago.
