Leon ignored Loriel's concern. The wolf girl might just be heading in the same direction—no reason to make assumptions. He pushed open the heavy wooden doors and entered the Adventurer's Guild building with Seraphine and Loriel flanking him.
The moment they crossed the threshold, the murmurs and gossip that had been barely concealed erupted throughout the hall.
Their appearance was too distinctive to miss. Every eye in the room tracked their movement.
"Aren't they the ones who claimed to be from Solaris?" one adventurer whispered loudly to his companion.
"Yeah, I heard about that. Complete nonsense, obviously," another replied with a snort.
"Still, did you see them? That silver-haired guy looks strong."
The conversations buzzed around them like angry wasps, but Leon paid them no attention. He'd expected this reaction.
Sylphia entered right after them, slipping through the doors before they could close. She heard the gossip too, and her ears perked up at the mention of Solaris.
