Payne's Friend

Whistle.

A man dressed in Assassin garb and hiding in a tree heard the whistle from a distance.

The Assassin vanished in thin air and jump to the ground and hide behind the bushes.

On the narrow road, a caravan traverses the mountains.

The caravan is led by a damaged luxurious stagecoach obviously owned by a noble or a rich family. In front of the carriage are several knights.

Behind the stagecoach are several carriages and carts.

In a single glance, aside from the damage apparent in the stagecoach, the knights in the front are on their edge and the people in the middle of the caravan have a lost look on their faces. Their clothing is tattered and full of dirt.

"Are you sure?"

Minerva repeated the question to the Hero in front of him.

The Hero is one of the scouts in their many hidden outposts in the wilderness.

"Yes. I believed Mr. Okabe can vouch for them. He certainly knows them."
