A young man with thick eyebrows, also clad in knight armor, had kindled a bonfire under a large tree.
The tree's canopy was vast, its leaves broad and dense, offering excellent protection from the rain. Even the sporadic drops that fell were quickly sizzled away by the bonfire.
However, Rein had no intention of approaching, not because he was afraid but because he had no interest in dealing with strangers whose backgrounds were unknown to him.
Thus, Rein decided to ride on for a while before finding a place where he could rest alone.
Seemingly hearing the sound of hooves, the thick-eyebrowed knight looked up, saw Rein's solo rider with two horses attire, his face brightened, and he stood up to greet him, "Hey, I'm a knight heading to Rosby City for the knighthood examination. Judging by your attire, you must be too, right?"
The other's enthusiastic expression and frank introduction momentarily stunned Rein.
