Beginning of infiltration

Before starting the discussion, the group ordered beers from the waitress, except that Betty doesn't like beer but prefers wine more.

"Well, now that we understand the uncertainties we can begin. First I introduce myself, my name is Jack, and I am in the service of the person who is collaborating with Miss Brige. I cannot reveal the name for now but I am sure you would understand in what particular situation we are in. we meet. " Jack looked Asteri in his eyes and the boy saw that his irises were hazel.

"Of course we understand, but I hope you can trust us in the future." Asteri didn't care about this lack of trust.

"This will depend on you, but if you have been sent by Miss Brige I am very confident of you and so is of the person who sends me. And obviously going unnoticed in the Doulon nation is the first step, we can only give the means to succeed. ... "it was evident that it would not be easy to cross the nations.

"It was obvious, if the rebellion had the ability to do certain things effortlessly, they wouldn't need the guild's help." Asteri knew that the rebels of the new kingdom of Doulon were in a negative state, and if they continue like this it would be the end for them.

"I'm glad you understand the current situation. Now that we understand, I'll have to tell you how to proceed. Currently, the rebellion only has nearly 1/3 of the nation and that territory is south of Doulon. But to reach our cities we will have to go through the border, which unfortunately is manned by the current ruler of Doulon, obviously there are no lines of soldiers or a long wall to cover the borders but, it is still heavily manned by surveillance patrols If you cross the main road you will find yourself in the border towns of the kingdom of Doulon, you will then go through the identification of the guards stationed there, but knowing that the two kingdoms are not on good terms, they will not welcome you with open arms. " Jack explains a passage.

"This is one way ... there are others, right?" Asteri knew that what Jack explained is not the only way to get through.

"That's right, the other way is to sneak through the forests until you reach our cities. Of course you will have a good chance of meeting Terata and also be careful not to attract the patrols on guard. If you can survive and go unnoticed, no one will know who you are and what are you doing." Jack reveals their other possibility.

"Both risky but not impossible. I would opt for the second choice, what do you girls think?" Asteri reflects on the options and asks for the opinions of the two women.

"I agree with you that they are both risky but they don't worry me much. I too vote for the latter." Allatu agrees with Asteri.

"Ditto for me too, so at least I don't have to go through humans." Betty responds too, although the second part of what she says whispers to her.

"Okay then we have a choice, now is the time to talk about what you should do with the mission that has been entrusted to you. As you read in the letter you have to find the kidnapped girl, we have leads and they lead to a den of slavers. near a city located in the center of the country. It will be up to you to choose whether you want to go first, and check if it is really there, or reach our territory first. But I warn you, the city that is near their lair is a city enemy ... then you will be alone. " Jack reports to the group where they would like to start the search.

"We will decide what to do when the time comes. You told us your territory is south of Doulon but there is no specific place where we will meet?" Asteri wanted a point of reference to escort the girl in question.

"Our meeting point is the city of Dowfist, I'll mark it on the map. Ah! That's another thing." Jack puts his hand in his other pocket and from there he pulls out a round white medallion, in the center there was a small opaque pearl, as if it were empty. "This medallion will help you in your search for this girl, when you are at least fifty meters from her she will start flashing with a golden light." Jack explains how the object works.

"Very comfortable. This girl is certainly a very important person, of course I could imagine that she was not just a normal peasant but also having such an object is definitely a prominent person." Asteri takes the medallion that Jack gives him.

"You don't know how important it is, but you will know everything in due course, you just have to be patient." Jack gave a small smile.

"Of course, that's certainly not a problem. So, if we're done discussing, I wanted to ask you if there is any possibility of knowing the person who sent you when we have completed the mission?" Asteri wanted to meet Jack's manager.

"No problem, but only at the end of the mission, only if you are worthy of our trust." Jack didn't care about Asteri's request, as long as everything went smoothly.

"Perfect! That just makes me more determined to complete the mission. But now that we're done, don't you think it would be sad if we parted so quickly? How about having a few more mugs of beer with friends?" Asteri proposed to Jack.

"Mhhh why not, I won't have to leave right away. A few more beers don't hurt." Jack was happy with the request. "But only if you offer."

"Ahaha of course, after all it was me who made the offer." Asteri didn't mind spending a little more gold on another person.
