After heading north along the river for a while, I saw a wide bridge spanning it.
And beyond it, there was a structure that looked like a walled city, enclosed by something like a fence.
As I got closer to the bridge, I saw a man dressed like a soldier standing on the western bank. Noticing Koai, he took a few steps closer, looking at her face.
“Oh, a late straggler?”
The man spoke to Koai in a friendly tone. However, Koai didn't understand the meaning of his words and remained silent.
“Well, whatever. If you’re not that mage they’re talking about, you’d better get over here quickly.”
The man, in a very human way, stared at Koai's face, but he didn't seem to have any intention of blocking the bridge. Koai crossed the bridge and set foot into the County of Tabris.
“Coming to escape this late... were you hiding in the forest or the mountains? Well, anyway, you should rest a bit in the town.”
“I see.”
Koai replied with few words and walked past the man.
