Chapter 71: Katalan XI

A man greeted, drawing the attention of Adelle, Leriat, and Ervian. He towered over them, his age evident in the lines on his face, but his smile radiated with warmth and friendliness.

He continued, "especially this lovely young lady with white hair. I've never seen any of you before."

Adelle's cheeks flushed at the compliment, her white hair shining under the sunlight. "Hello and thank you," she replied graciously, slightly taken aback by the man's remark. "We've just arrived here yesterday."

"My, my, I was right. Oh right, and where are my manners? My name is Darwin," the man introduced himself with a playful tone.

"Nice to meet you all, and the skinny guy behind me is Heindler."

Adelle and Leriat's gaze shifted to the person mentioned who stood behind Darwin. Heindler had a lean and agile build, with a bow slung across his back. He offered a friendly wave, his smile adding to the welcoming atmosphere.
