Amidst a jungle outside the small village.
A few people, who were wearing tight attire and dressed like adventurers, were looking on silently at the scene of the Pitch-dark Shield adventurer team arriving at the village's entrance.
"Have we confirmed our target?"
The leader was an adventurer wearing a Taoist robe and was currently attentively staring at a crystal ball in his hands.
"We can confirm that the other party is within the village!"
Two warriors at the side instantly bowed.
Their body's disposition was astute and capable but was incompatible with that of adventurers; instead, it seemed to belong to the military.
"That's alright then. Has the nearby giant wolf been captured?"
The old sorcerer continued to ask.
"It's been captured. It's a Flame Wolf and has swallowed at least three people. It was restrained with our magic skills."
