Chapter 32: Baron
"Hey there..." Ethan’s eyes lit up as he heard LoS_Blackblade’s introduction, and he greeted them with a smile. "You guys are from Legion of Shadows? Perfect! I’m completely lost in this godforsaken place. I’m trying to get to Silver Horn City—mind showing me the way?"
"Silver Horn City?"
LoS_Blackblade was momentarily stunned but quickly nodded. "Yeah, no problem... Silver Horn City is directly south of Sunfire Basin. If we move carefully, we should get there in two or three days."
"Two or three days? That long?" Ethan frowned.
It had already taken him two days to get here, so the return trip would take just as long. If heading to Silver Horn City meant another six or seven days round trip, he wasn’t sure he had that kind of time to spare.
But his reaction made LoS_Blackblade and the others tense up.
"Valkarion, we’re on the outskirts of Sylvanwood right now. This place is crawling with high-tier wild units—it’s dangerous! If we want to get out safely, we have to be extremely cautious..."
The one speaking was LoS_Starlily, the only woman in the five-person squad. She was a strikingly beautiful and mature young woman, and her voice carried a note of concern. She was worried Ethan might insist on forcing their way through.
Ethan had an 8-Tier Silver Pegasus Knight, so he had nothing to fear—but they weren’t so lucky. Given how dangerous the outskirts of Sylvanwood were, charging through recklessly would be nothing short of suicide.
"Relax, I’m not going to force you into anything. I’m just in a bit of a hurry..." Ethan reassured them before asking, "What about flying out?"
"Flying?"
