"Is this your first time coming to Ashen Cradle," Insa asked, trying to strike up a conversation with Nero, seeing he had no interest in doing so.
Nero was busy examining the map of the area they were headed to and hearing Insa's inquiry, he raised his head and nodded in confirmation.
"So, do you have friends with whom you plan to explore, or do you plan to join a random party to explore," Insa asked, and after taking a moment to think, Nero answered honestly.
"I plan to join some adventurer teams but also explore alone since my main purpose is to gain battle experience," Nero answered, keeping it vague but telling the truth.
"I see that you have a detailed map of the second ring, but it is not fully up-to-date, so if you want, I can mark smaller beast lairs and other areas that should be avoided," Insa said, and finding no reason to deny, he happily accepted her help.
"If you don't mind, Please," Nero said before taking out a pen and handing her the map.
