Ren, Valdel, and Lara had started their journey towards the Holy Kingdom. On this trip, Valdel didn't bring Zwei and Nika, as he told them that they needed to stay in Varzon to protect his family. At this time many powerful people were protecting the family members of the three so that the event that happened last time would never repeat itself.
The journey towards the Divine City of the Holy Kingdom was pretty uneventful well compared to what they were used to. There were some monsters and a lot of bandits which were mostly demi-humans, but with everyone's current strength none of those poses any threat to them. To make it even remotely challenging, the three would only go one at a time with a handicap.
