Everyone in the surrounding lands knew the way to Dark Valley. All they had to do was travel in the general direction of Europa, and they would arrive at the forbidden zone. After all, it was a large stretch of land that divided the two continents.
But there were several reasons why Adam had asked Hisashi, and also why he was willing to pay for such information.
The area between Mount Hoshigane and the Dark Valley was patrolled by Magi of different factions and local militia. The stout tavern owner would definitely know which routes could be used to avoid inspection.
Bandits, beasts, and even corrupted terrain made the journey treacherous. Adam was more than willing to pay for the safest routes possible, not just the location. No one knew what exactly he'd have to face once he set foot inside the forbidden zone.
Above all else, he wanted to avoid attention and get to his destination as soon as possible. He hoped that Hisashi could also provide him with supplies.
