Chapter 412: Preparation

Before leaving White Rock Castle, Ned went to navigate a series of hallways and intersections until he found what he was looking for—kitchen. The kitchen was heavily detached from the main hall of the castle and Ned had to walk in a long pathway cemented with glossy white stones. 

There, he asked for whatever food the guild had to offer him. Ned took bread cut into thin slices and spread which he made into a sandwich. He then asked the chef if he could have some of the lemonade he had before. The chef, a silver rank hunter, was confused at first but then seeing that Ned was a hunter (not officially, yet), he gave Ned the freedom to choose. Ned was given a leather backpack to store the sandwiches and a couple of bottled lemonade. The ration wasn't enough, but he hoped that the candidates who watched over him when he was unconscious would appreciate it.
