No one said much for a few seconds, as Osikae had completely shut down the mood.
"Hmm... bandits have been rising you say?" Lyrian questioned on hearing this.
"Precisely. I know since I've been dealing with them quite a lot. Even when Zyon and I were out in that beast-hunting duo mission, we had to fight off many hoards of woodby bandits. However, they are getting stronger in prowess and strength, since they have more of a platform now. Everything is beginning to heat up around Veridrake... its not a good sign for things to come. I'm sure there will be many bandits on our trial... and strong ones at that. No woodby bandits would camp out between the path of Jambaal and Hogolsworth."
"I see... I guess it will be some good training then." Lyrian said with a serious face.
Everyone else, who was getting slightly nervous at Osikae's words, looked at Lyrian as if he were some sort of comedian.
