Red Boots [3]

Ralph never thought he would enjoy running a bar, but as it turned out, it was quite a profitable venture. Not only did he make a decent income from alcohol sales, but he also found that the drunken tongues of patrons were excellent sources of information.

When Alger was assigned to the southern forest border near Kaldar Gate as part of the Second Division of the Imperial Army, he left Ralph with a simple yet crucial task: collect and report all circulating information in Selene City, the capital of Lukewarp, and most importantly, any developments within the Magnolia Empire. Ralph was to be Alger's eyes and ears while he was stationed far from the capital, ensuring no vital intelligence slipped past him.
