"This heat is truly extreme." Noel sighed while walking in the desert.
"We are about to reach the first destination, Master." Dimitri pointed forward. "According to the map, the city should be in sight within the next few minutes."

During the night, the cold was chilling enough to kill them in their sleep if they came without any preparation.
To think the people in this kingdom could withstand such harsh conditions, Dimitri and Noel were impressed.

"Dimitri. Is that?" Noel pointed at the smoke while frowning.
