Facing the words of her tribe members, she nodded her head,
"Let's have the tribe rest here for today. We will continue our journey early tomorrow morning, and stop only when we reach Sunset Valley... Have you contacted the Dragon-men of the West Branch Tribe and East Branch Tribe?"
The two Dragon-men exchanged a glance, both finding it difficult to speak. After a pause, one of them replied with great effort,
"They... refuse to get involved. They say humans will not go to the East and West because there are no gold mines or anything else that humans desire there..."
Upon hearing this, Rafael smiled slightly, not in anger but with a hint of mocking,
"Yes, humans won't go now, but Rafael will get to the East and West Branch Tribe before the humans do. I will pull out the heads of those stubborn fools and show their people what they have in their brains... Go now, take rest. We will set off again in the morning."
"...Yes."
