Chapter 50: The paladin's quest

Lydia stared at Jack, "People have been disappearing at night in the western village of Oakedge. We need someone to investigate."

Jack stared at her, "That's the guards' job, right?"

Lydia shook her face, "We lost them all. About twenty people disappeared without a trace."

Jack froze in place, "If it's severe, can't you find someone else to do it?"

"We tried to contact Alcott, but his wife kicked us out, saying he doesn't need problems." Lydia shook her head.

"The quest seems too big for me to investigate alone. You better drop a quest at the guild, and we might take it." Jack said, finishing his breakfast.

Thud! Thud! "Jack, is there a problem?" Arad and Aella walked down to see Lydia. They immediately assumed she was here for trouble.

"Cheif, she seems to have an interesting quest. Countless people disappeared at night in the western village of oakedge. She wants us to investigate." Jack said, pointing with his thumb at Lydia.
