Merlin sighed as he swiped the quest ay, and he began h the forest, towards the road

As he breached the treeline, he noticed a large group further down the road, they seeate, but still had a fair walk to go Merlin saw several bows, so he assuer expedition teams that were ers seemed heavily wounded, at least from what he could tell from this distance

Merlinto wait for the expedition tea, he noticed that he seeroup It was likely that the group hoped to rest at Acacesiu, only to find that the town had been looted and abandoned due to not yet receiving athem

Merlin entered the city once roups seemed to have dissipated by noith only a couple curious observers nearby paying any attention to him, albeit only briefly

Heand took a direct path towards theaway at theyou need" Merlin said as he walked into the rooralove onto the table, and as he did so, he received a notification telling him his quest was co stock II", rewards have been delivered」

"Thank you!" Tuli said as she quickly ran to grab a couple jars to store everything "You've been a great help"

"You're very welcome" Merlin smiled "Oh, I saw another expedition tea any minute now"

"Oh, they're early" Tuli ot more supplies to treat them with"

"Fortunately they didn't look that wounded, mostly tired" Merlin reassured her, "But that was only froot to take off" Merlin said, "I'd love to stick around and help, but I've got sos to take care of"

"Not a problem" Tuli said, "Take care, and thank you for all the help!"

Merlin walked out of the roo for Callisto to fulfil his promise, but he couldn't seem to find her He made his way over to the front desk and asked if the person sitting at it knehere she went, and apparently she went into the forest alone to blow off stea that was apparently common as of late with her

Merlin instead , where he saw a sh the crowd after seeing the group they were there to see, it was the rangers he saw earlier on the road

The croas rather negative, but not as negative as both tih ainst Callisto, or there was just a widespread hatred for her But besides Baron Doolmet, Merlin couldn't quite understand why anyone would have anything against her

Merlin wandered through the city, stopping at an interesting looking ruin For all intents and purposes, it was nothing but a freestanding arched stone-brick door fraht Merlin's attention, besides the fact that there was clearly no signs of a building previously being attached to it, was the strange almost Greek-like runes inscribed within the stone above the door frame

"What mysteries lie within these old stones" An old mans voice could suddenly be heard

Merlin turned around to see a short grey-haired old e The old man sloandered closer until he was stood beside Merlin

"Do you find interest in these old stones?" The man wondered out loud

"I do" Merlin nodded He was trying his hardest to hide the overwhel approached by an NPC in regards to the ruins

"An isters respect their ancestors nowadays" The man seemed pleased, but then his face quickly shi+fted to sadness "All they do is coet in the way of construction"

"What a stupid way of thinking" Merlin replied "This city is a treasure trove of history, they'd be fools to tear this all down"

The man's smile returned to his face when he saw Merlin's enthusiasm
