Episode 50: The Journey to Eriene
Venus and his crew continued their exploration of Sea Salt City, their minds filled with the grim stories they had heard. As they made their way through the city's dark alleys, they stumbled upon a shabby inn where they took a brief rest, discussing their next moves. The city's corruption weighed heavily on them, and they knew their journey to Eriene would be fraught with challenges.
Eventually, they found themselves at a bustling square where a man with a horse and carriage was offering rides to nearby villages. The man, a rough-looking character with a stubble beard and weathered face, approached them. "Need a lift to Eriene Village?" he asked. "It'll be 5,000 L$."
With little hesitation, Venus agreed and paid the fee. The crew climbed aboard the rickety carriage, and the journey began. The landscape outside grew more desolate as they traveled, the atmosphere thick with foreboding.
Midway through their trip, a group of bandits ambushed them. The crew sprang into action, fighting off the attackers with skill and precision. After a fierce battle, they managed to repel the bandits. The grateful carriage driver thanked them profusely, and they continued on their way, arriving at the outskirts of Eriene Village.
