In front of the entrance to the village, there were two guards standing guard. One of them is a muscular man in armor with a helm on his face, and the other one is a woman with a sword on her hip. Both of them wore a cloak on top of their armor to cover their upper body.
"Welcome to this village of ours~" The muscular guard said with a big grin.
"We are the village's protectors. My name is Cai. You must be travelers, right? What brings you to the Redania Empire?"
"We are... traveling merchants," Lyan answered as he removed his hood, and revealed himself.
"Ohh! A merchant! Welcome! And those at back... They're unconscious!?" The guard exclaimed in surprise because of the sight of thirty people getting carried by people with cloaks and hoods.
