Forest Visit
After Butler Mendez left to participate in the game, Wallace stood for a moment, lost in thought. He needed Mendez to grow stronger, to be ready for the influx of Viscounts who might bring trouble to Toraz town.
The game would hone Mendez's skills, preparing him for any challenges that might come their way.
Despite his confidence in Mendez, Wallace felt a nagging uncertainty about his Iron Buffalo.
It was powerful, but the sheer number of adventurers and the allure of the system-produced fries and water bottles meant an influx of visitors, and possibly trouble, was inevitable.
With this in mind, Wallace decided to inspect the back of Toraz town, where reports of neutral beasts had been circulating.
The back of the town was quieter, a stark contrast to the bustling central plaza.
The atmosphere here was more subdued, but the presence of gate guards was a constant reminder of the potential dangers lurking beyond the town's borders.
