Mountain of the Blighted

...

Izroth and Sychia took their leave from the lodgings. Since the Thousand Blossom Maiden finished stabilizing her mana, they could move without being hindered. Not to mention, their time in the Secret Realm was limited. Therefore, every minute was precious.

'It looks like getting any information about the Mountain of the Blighted is out of the question.'

From the time he arrived until now, the villagers were still hidden underground and showed no signs of coming up to the surface.

While Izroth would not have too much trouble finding the concealed entrance to the underground area, it would take some time. Also, there was no guarantee that the villagers or peddlers were willing to talk.

'There's no point wasting time on something that may yield no results. We will just have to go in blind. Though I must admit, it is far from ideal.'

At the moment, Izroth had to deal with an S-ranked and SS-ranked quest simultaneously.
