Grey quickly lost interest in the conversation between the girl and the idiot. As he was waiting for the time of the mission start, villagers started to fill up the little space between the last few houses of the village and the small wooden platform. It seemed like not all villagers had gone to take care of their normal lives. No wonder, in a small village like this, this must be about the most exciting thing that happens except for the disappearances themselves. Surely at least some of them would take the time to view the ‘spectacle’. Grey didn’t regret his concealment spell one bit. Being stared at by these unknowing country bumpkins wasn’t very pleasant.<br/>Exactly on time, when about twenty villagers had gathered, it suddenly turned quiet. At first it wasn’t really clear what the reason was. That is until an old man climbed on the low platform. The old man was pretty short and had a long beard. Next to him the lady of the Adventure Guild looked very tall. She stepped on the platform after the old man. Even with the platform, the old man didn’t reach the height of the villagers standing before the platform.<br/>Grey mixed in with the villagers and gradually lifted his concealment spell. It seemed like the mission would finally start and in that case it would probably be better to not be hidden. He kept his hood up. Although everyone’s eyes were on the old man and nobody was paying any attention to him.
