Once all preparations were complete, Gauss and his companion waited a few more days in Gray Rock Town.
The waiting period gradually brought colder weather.
The snow grew heavier.
Finally, amid their eager anticipation, they received the final gathering notice from the Adventurer's Guild.
On the main avenue of Gray Rock Town.
Passersby stayed off the streets, clearing the main road for the Bronze Adventurers preparing to leave the town.
Town residents curiously leaned out their windows, observing the crowd below.
Usually rare to see, Bronze Adventurers were now a common sight.
Occasionally, a child seeing such a departing scene for the first time would shout excitedly.
Bronze Adventurers grouped in twos and threes, preparing to board the carriage compartments.
Some Bronze Adventurers chose to ride their own mounts.
On the street side, Gauss glanced towards the front of the procession, led by the head of the Gray Rock Town Adventurer's Guild, Abelhard.
