Escaping From Imminent Eternal Suffering!
After extracting all the information the stall owner possessed, Quinlan's quest progress reached 9/10. Only one more clue, and his quest would end!
Before leaving the stall owner, he even offered Quinlan his wallet and an antique-looking talisman. From the awkward smile on his face, it's probably a "bribe" to save his own hide. Having no reason to refuse the gift, he took both and placed them in his newly acquired storage pouch.
After that, Quinlan tried to ask the owners of other stalls, but he didn't get any new information. After three hours of asking around, he was still stuck at the 9/10 quest progress.
"I wonder where the last bit of information is..." he muttered with a sigh.
Just as Quinlan was walking along the middle of the road, looking around the stalls curiously, a familiar presence suddenly hovered over him.
"...!"
The overbearing presence, as if making him unable to breathe... It was something he couldn't forget!
