After returning to the mansion, as Victor was on his way to Mari Dundragon's laboratory, Frugeon crossed his path in a corridor.

"Good evening, guard," Victor replied.

"Good evening, Victor." Frugeon greeted. "You've been gone since this morning. Are you still picking up orders from the Association? If you like, I can introduce you to people who pay better for direct work."

"I appreciate the gesture, but I prefer to work with the Association. Anyway, I didn't go hunting today. I was looking for an herb that Mari asked me for."

"An herb? So you went to the city market..."

"Not really. I went to the Lura Forest."

"What? But that forest..."

"I know. It's a very strange forest. Fortunately, I managed to find the herb and get out before nightfall. By the way, have you ever heard of guardians in this forest?"
