The middle-aged man was overjoyed upon hearing the Dragon Spirit mention that it was his first time venturing out, his eyes filled with shock and joy.
Great, they were saved. This was someone from the Hidden Clan!
"Are you out here for training?"
The Dragon Spirit nodded, showing no signs of nervousness or deceit.
Upon hearing this, the others' eyes brightened immediately, feeling as if fate had not abandoned them.
"As long as you can help us, we will do our best to fulfill any request you have."
The Dragon Spirit glanced at the people, considering that although this was a remote town, they wanted peace for so many years.
In other places, people had to rely on deceit to complete tasks, but here, they were able to retain their last bit of integrity.
If there was no one "in the court," such a remote town would likely have become a hub of corruption long ago.
Of course, this was assuming what these people said was true.
