The man that emerged from the mist widened his eyes when he saw Rex and the others.
He looks surprised upon seeing Rex and the others, but his eyes then fall to the huge sack that is glowing with red light.
Rex looks at the man and realized that it's an old man,
The wrinkle on the old man's face can be seen clearly, his posture is not that great anymore, and upon closer look, the old man is wearing thin clothes.
'A civilian?', Rex thought with a frown.
"Ah! You must be the ones that volunteer to get the Vermillion Flowers", the old man said with a smile, his grateful feeling can be seen through his genuine smile.
Hearing this, Adhara steps forward and replied, "Yes, we're on our way to deliver this"
As she said that, Edward opened the glowing sack making the old man's eyes sparkle in shock, "So many... With this much, the village will not be short on the flowers for a while"
