Matthew and Bran arrived at their destination, the Irons’ home somewhere in the outskirts of Northern Omni. After paying for the carriage and thanking the driver, Matthew and Bran headed toward the house that was a bit further up the dirt road that was surrounded by vegetable fields such as broccoli, cabbages, and parsnips.

There were farmers in the field who greeted Bran as they passed by and Bran replied in a similar manner. Most of them were actually fairly young. Matthew, on the other hand, only got curious and cautious stares. If they knew who Matthew was, it was only natural for them to be so.

“They’re not very friendly with any figure of authority. Please ignore them.” Bran told him.

“I don’t mind it. Anything else you can tell me about them?”
