Cloudveil City,
At the city gate,
A group of guards stood idly at their posts, spears resting against their shoulders as they passed the time with casual chatter.
Then, one of them suddenly lowered his voice.
"Hey... have you noticed? Lately, there's been a lot of wealthy individuals coming in from the Fen Dynasty."
"Yeah, I noticed it too," another replied then frowning. "But it's strange. There aren't any major events happening in the city right now."
The guards exchanged puzzled looks.
These past few days, there had been a sudden surge of people arriving from the Fen Dynasty.
They couldn't help but wonder what could possibly make so many individuals travel such a long distance just to reach Cloudveil City.
After all, the nearest border between their region and the Fen Dynasty took at least a week of travel.
Could something big happening that they didn't know about?
Just then, one of the guards noticed two figures approaching.
