She is the eldest daughter of the Tall family from the far north. All of us were together earlier, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye, and we can’t seem to find her no matter how hard we search.”

“Did you encounter something similar too, Old Mr. Seizon?” Jared asked, to which Renault nodded.

“We started out with more than ten men. Now that a few of them have mysteriously vanished, we’re the only ones left.”
