268 An Advanced Village

The next day.

Noel and Anna were riding horse side by side, going to their first mission which was aligned with their final destination. 

The soil was muddy and there were even some puddles in their path.

"The rain was quite big yesterday." Noel furrowed his eyebrows, recalling Shale's lesson.

"Indeed." Anna nodded. "The worst will be the winter, the season after this. The temperature is going to drop even further."

"Yeah. In just one month." Noel agreed and thought for a moment. "I guess we have to walk through the snow to reach our new post." 

"Yes. The problem is… Since we're going to the Demon Relief Squad, the jobs will become harsher." 

"Indeed. I still remember that we start the training right after the winter ends. So, we have never faced this problem. I guess it's going to be troublesome soon. There will be many people dying as well."
