Seraphina was spooked by the rumors though she didn't feel like backing down for even a moment due to her strong determination to save her realm. She knew that they would need money to stay for at least a couple more days, and the only way to earn enough money to pay their rent and for their food was by joining this group of adventurers.
Of course, Viktor and Seraphina could simply go on a mission alone, but for that first, they would have to register themselves as adventurers, and after some time-consuming procedures, they can only start off with low-level missions. By that time, they would have no place to stay.
However, since Brono and his friends vouched for the two, they were able to tag along without much issues.
But Viktor knew that things didn't go smoothly for no reason.
The group of six soon entered the Blackmere forest as the sunlight began to dim due to how dense the forest was, with the trees blocking most of the sunlight.
