Capítulo 545: En Route Altear

After leaving the western gates of Smargdas, Zero and Truen took their time to stop by multiple towns along the way. The outskirts of Smargdas near Altear wasn't doing too well. Most of the people here were farmers. Zero noticed that many farmers preferred to rear animals instead of growing crops because the soil wasn't as good but there were many pastures. This made Zero curious how the farmers got the other essentials they needed.
