Chapter 39: Preparing to leave
"That quest was pretty boring, to be honest."
"Yeah, I agree."
Kai and Gwen returned to the guild to turn in their quest for their payment. After getting their money, they sat at a table that was right next to the quest board and looked at it for the past hour.
No quest caught their attention. Here and there, they took on a small request that they completed within an hour or two, as they still needed to earn money. But even after all of that, there was no fun, no adventure. Everything was just...boring.
"Maybe we need to be a higher rank to get all the good quests?" Kai thought
Gwen shook her head. "No, it’s the town."
"What do you mean?"
"While we’re in a good town for hunting, adventuring, trading, and so on, this town is still relatively closed off. Compared to the other cities up north, this area is equivalent to arid land if we’re comparing it to farming."
Kai caught on to what she was saying.
"So we need to find fertile soil."
"Exactly. And the way to do that is to go up north. We’re south, the last town before the border, not including some villages. So the trading and adventuring scene here is limited compared to the more popular cities and towns, or even the places that are simply closer to trade routes and civilization."
