A warm welcome
To thank you for the help you gave to his relative, The King ordered his military advisors to arrange a tour for you of the archipelago on which the best royal soldiers are being trained. A royal guide boarded the Excelsior and lead you to a heavily fortified chain of islands, located on the fringes of the Kingdom.
“I do hope everyone here was informed about our arrival.” - said one of the mods, watching the island below. - “It looks like every single weapon down there is aimed straight at us.”
Indeed, walls and towers that surrounded the island were bristling with cannons and ballistae and many of them were following every movement of the flying ship.
“Don’t worry” - said the royal guide. - “No one will fire at us without the order. Do you see this purple smoke? This is our landing site.”
When the Excelsior landed and you left the ship, you were met by a welcoming party of a few soldiers led by a small man in a large black wide-brim hat with a red feather.
“Hello!” - said Orowa - “We’re the adventurers you were undoubtedly notified about. We’re here to see your training facilities.”
The small man looked at you for a few seconds with a passive expression on his face. Then he snorted:
“Adventurers?! You look like you’ve spent your entire life picking up herbs around the Mayor’s house! Are you sure your adventures included fighting warlocks and bandits? I say it’s more likely that the only warlock you’ve ever fought was a scarecrow in a black cloak!”
“Hey, wait a second...” - the ghost said indignantly.
“Silence! I don’t give tours of my beloved training grounds to just anybody! If you want to see them, you’ll have to prove that you’re not afraid of hard work! Are you up to the challenge? Or are you afraid of getting your pretty hands dirty? Perhaps I should arrange a tour of our Spring Parks instead?!”
Who is this man?
You can hire him in the Tavern (the name of his rank/profession starts with M).
