Chapitre 172: Cave Exploration

That night, Johan and Aoi sat at a corner table in a bustling tavern. Despite the laughter and lively chatter filling the air, they focused on gathering as much information as possible about the kingdom of Drawken and its inner politics. As they ate, Johan subtly eavesdropped on conversations around them, while Aoi seemed more absorbed in her meal.

Amidst the surrounding conversations, Johan picked up on a rumor that piqued his interest. People were talking about an important official in Drawken who was once highly respected and trusted by the king in the area of technological development. But after a major experiment failed, his reputation and personality changed drastically. Now, he was known as someone who acted recklessly and often caused trouble in the region.
