Wallace walked through the bustling town of Toraz, his thoughts focused on the future and the new opportunities he was creating.
Myarsten remained perched on his shoulder, while the Iron Buffalo trotted beside him, attracting curious glances from townspeople and adventurers alike.
The Mana Knights maintained their formation around him, vigilant and respectful.
As they made their way through the crowd, a commotion ahead caught Wallace's attention. A group of Mana Knights, surrounding a rotund man with a jovial expression, were making their way towards him. The man's face lit up with recognition when he spotted Wallace, and he quickened his pace, his round belly bouncing with each step.
"Excuse me! Excuse me!" the man called out, waving his hand to get Wallace's attention. The Mana Knights parted to allow the man through, and he finally stood before Wallace, slightly out of breath but beaming with excitement.
