"360 Gold Coin... The ticket isn't cheap right now. Is there a special reason for traveling to the Western Continent?" the ticket officer asked routinely.
"Our miss is seeking refuge with relatives. You know how chaotic it is here on the Eastern Continent..." The old butler continued with a formulaic smile, answering the question fluently. As he spoke, he pulled out the money and handed the prepared bills to the ticket officer.
Even though he had seen a lot, he was still shocked by the price of the ticket. He had expected it to be expensive, but not this expensive...
The reason he gave was quite common: rich people are now finding all sorts of ways to head to the Western Continent. As long as they have no criminal backgrounds like murder or robbery, they'd be completely safe once they got there.
The ticket officer nodded in understanding. He had seen too many people displaced by war, so he had no doubts about the old butler's words.
