One week later…
Shye arrived at the familiar gates of Nookbury City.
It had been several months since he last saw Shirley, and he sure missed her a lot.
The thought of seeing her again naturally brought an excited smile to his face.
Queuing to enter the city, Shye retrieved his Balkrow City token and adventurer license, and as he did so, he inevitably caught wind of some slightly unnerving rumors from a party of adventurers who were preparing to embark on a quest at the adventurers' lobby in front of the main gate.
"Sigh…I really want to back out on this quest…"
"Me too…the Messedin Advanced Adventurer Zone is just too dangerous right now…"
"If not for the party leader being keen on going on a solo quest to earn money for the treatment of his child with a severe illness, I wouldn't have gone."
"Sigh…Indeed. I'm sure my conscience wouldn't allow me to sleep soundly at night if something happens to him so I decided to go."
