Sebastian set out for the Serpentfolk tribe without much preparation, as it was, after all, the closest potential ally to the Elf tribe.
To ensure success in persuading the Serpentfolk, Sebastian, in addition to bringing Luna, was accompanied by a priest from the temple.
This temple priest elaborated on the state of the Serpentfolk tribe as they traveled.
"Our dealings with the Serpentfolk haven't been extensive," began the priest.
"All we know is that they worship an unnamed deity from the Void. Their chieftain appears to be a very powerful magus of the Serpentfolk."
As the priest shared insights about the Serpentfolk chieftain, Sebastian attentively committed every piece of information to memory.
By the time they reached the Serpentfolk territory, the priest had finished briefing them on the basic situation of the tribe.
