The beasts on the first floor, even though they were isedfor travelling were not as good as those in the upper floor.
The higher one went, the better the quality of the beast, they were stronger, more resilient, and faster.
However, the fees to use these beasts alsp skyrocketed the higher one went up. Moreover, some mounts could not be granted for transport just like that without the permission of the guild leader.
Both Jerouch and the mounts attendants had left the first floor, after Jerouch tied up the travelers present on the floor with vines.
There was one traveller excluded, though, who was being dragged by Jerouch as they climbed up.
On reaching the second to the last floor, the mounts attendants stopped, his legs trembling as though they would give in at any moment.
