"Too quiet?"

Shortly after Aeliana heard Vaan's words, her playful expression vanished, replaced by a solemn look. Hester's tired gaze also sharpened.

"Sir Vahn is right. It's too quiet," Hester agreed with Vaan's statement before she added, "Our arrival should have brought a few curious eyes over to investigate."

"Take a look at the gate. There aren't any guards either," Astoria pointed out.

Up ahead, the stone gate was opened.

The guards were nowhere to be seen, and neither were the sentries that were supposed to be stationed on the stone walls.

In fact, there wasn't a single soul in sight; the town appeared desolate and abandoned.

But unlike Sunpeak Town, which looked in poor condition, Misty Leaf Town was in good condition. Its stone walls were clean and without a crack—at least none were within sight around the southern gate.
