The ride to Verten was rather uneventful as Alice simply spent the time sleeping on the boat.
Once she arrived, she could see that the town was rather deserted for a coastal town with only a few ships surrounding the docks. The people that live here seem dispirited, lumbering around like lifeless zombies.
Furrowing her brows, Alice hopped off the boat and wandered around the place.
No matter who she talked to, all of their responses were lacklustre and they didn't find anything wrong with it. Meanwhile, the people who sailed into this town were just as confused as Alice but they went about their day, thinking this was probably just how it's always been.
In the end, Alice decided to sit atop the tallest building for now.
During the time she spent around asking for some information, she managed to get the directions to Cradle Orphanage but the person who told her warned her about the dangers.
