When Axel heard the news, he immediately became worried.
"You are traveling that far alone?"
Before Lana could even reassure him, Axel had already taken action.
Without hesitation, he hired several Exoray to escort her.
Lana naturally knew what that meant.
These Exoray were far more powerful than her. Otherwise, her uncle would never dare to deploy them casually.
Among them was an Exoray who could completely conceal their presence, blending into the surroundings like a shadow.
Another specialized in defensive barriers capable of blocking ghostly energy.
One of them was an extremely formidable thunder-type user.
There were several others as well.
A celestial master who specialized in dealing with resentful ghosts and a priest who could purify curses and wandering spirits.
Altogether, three vehicles were arranged for the journey toward Hedge City.
Three vehicles.
Yet the only actual passenger was Lana.
What made Lana's heart ache slightly was the cost of this escort.
