Gauss's team came to the riverside.
Outside the small town, there was no human activity anymore.
Apart from the information about demon beasts causing harm that the Raven Squad was gathering, the increasingly cold weather also forced civilians to stay within the settlement.
A thin layer of frost covered the ground, likely left behind after last night's temperature drop.
"Come out, Hephaestus!"

Sure enough, upon its appearance, the surrounding temperature quietly rose by several degrees.
A natural "little sun," indeed.

Aaliyah and a few others quietly moved a few steps closer to Hephaestus.
