"How long do I have to guard the village on my own?" Ardent whined. While he did not technically does it alone, Ardent had to handle the tougher threats.
Normally, it is divided between the three 2nd Circle Mages. However, with him being the only one left, Ardent have to do the job of three people at once.
"When will they get back?" he grumbled. The distance between Cruom City and Slurom Village is about 5 days travel time. In a single trip, and not including the return trip.
Plus, trying to get a meeting with the city lord of Cruom City will take some time as well. Frankly, Ardent did not expect them to return in 2 weeks, the fastest. The longest would probably be a month or so.
It did not stop him from whining though. Which he believe he has the right to.
"Well, time to get back to work."
Let it be known, despite him whining, Ardent will do his job the best he can.
