A Journey

After a couple of days of preparation, Eric set off with the group of mercenaries and decided to show an alchemist coming along with him.

Eric made sure to leave one of the cultivators in the store and had ordered it to make sure that no one including the employees steal anything when Eric wasn't there.

There was also a large supply of pills and equipment that Eric left behind that should be out on the shelves when they got sold.

With the experience of the mercenaries and their constant travel between the two cities, there was no problem with finding which paths they needed to take.

They rarely met with any dangerous monsters but even then, they were all normal monsters that the mercenaries could take care of by themselves.

With nothing interesting happening and 15 days later, they stopped at a small town between the two cities.

They decided to stay for the night at one of the inns instead of having to sleep in the forest.

The next day as they were leaving, a person from a small group of people came up to ask if they were going to the city of Leby.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"You probably shouldn't go there now. The City lord is choosing an heir right now and his sons and daughters are fighting for the position. In the past, it used to be ok but now it has gotten to the point where powerful people are secretly getting killed and there are weak people like us who can accidentally get killed."

As Eric gave the person a gold coin, he responded, "All right thank you for the information."
