Nathan's next destination was a city located not far from the Blacksmith Guild. Unfortunately, it was not a major city, so it didn't have a teleportation circle. Hence, Nathan had no choice but to fly there directly.
Ryan might have realized this and given those items to protect Nathan since his task was important for the world.
Of course, Nidhogg was the one carrying him on his back.
"Why am I the only one having to do all this?" Complained Nidhogg, considering Jinwu could also do this. Besides, Nidhogg was rather lazy, so Nathan could understand his complaint.
"Hahaha. Don't worry. I'm thinking about changing my fifth familiar."
"Hmm? Aren't you thinking about choosing either the Celestial Fox, Tenko, or that eight-headed snake, Yamata-no-orochi?" Nidhogg frowned.
