Capítulo 141: "Find me a bug, John"

Tim and Ortana were paired with eighteen other volunteers, so they didn't exactly feel alone here. They even met a couple of Degranus Goblins, which was a very interesting encounter, as they claimed that they've been paid stupid amounts of gold to come, and volunteer here! This was absolutely believable, so they didn't even bother questioning it, as gold was oftentimes a good motivator, even if it was paired with desperation.

The twenty total volunteers were escorted by ten guards. The latter were very skilled, and although they held the title of city guards formally, they were actually nothing less than competent, journeymen battle mages! Heavy armor coated their skin, and offensive magic circled their palms, so they were made to deal with such hostile situations! The volunteers were as safe as they could be under the current circumstances.
