There were no bards singing vulgar, suggestive little tunes, nor were there seductive waitresses in scanty attire. In Hot Springs Village's tavern, there were only a group of villagers and farmers who didn't want to go home early and sleep with their nagging wives, a somewhat knowledgeable tavern owner, and a blacksmith who told stories.
"Why was the Nordic man the first to discover the hot springs?" a villager asked, "Why not Knight Armand? I thought the knight was the most formidable person in your team."
"Although I don't want to admit it, that Nordic man is far more formidable than the knight." Duluke said, "He kills monsters with ease, just like eating or drinking. Few demon bats survive more than one strike from him. He's an elite adventurer, and I heard he's been in and out of the Foggy Forest many times, yes, that mysterious forest that swallows up thousands of people every year. An adventurer who repeatedly survives that place must be special."
