Chapter 579: Swears

The brothers just stood there in front of the Village Center, not quite sure where to go. 

"Hey, new hires!" They turned to see a few people greeting them. They were a pair of an old man and an old woman with baskets hanging at their backs. The bags were filled with wood and stones—resources to sell in the Village center. 

They unconsciously stepped away as if they were blocking the door (they weren't, not really) but the old man and woman just stood next to them in the end. 

"You two seem a little pale," the old man said after a while, concerned, and then looked around. "Where's Clutch and the others anyway? They're usually the first to greet newly summoned people…" 

"Silly old man, everyone is busy preparing for the war," she said. "Well, we are too," she said, patting the resources they managed to carry—doing what they could for the territory.
