"Attention, passengers. We will soon be arriving at Silent Forest Stop One. Please prepare to disembark."
A gentle announcement echoed through the airship.
Allen opened his eyes, their deep blue depths perfectly clear.
He gazed out the window at an endless sea of green forest.
Sunlight pierced the thin clouds, spilling across the canopy and creating a shimmering golden wave.
A faint, shimmering mist drifted through the trees, making the ancient forest feel tranquil and mysterious.
This was the Silent Forest.
It was one of the Seven Towers Alliance's most famous sites for ecological research and Magic Potion ingredient collection, as well as the home to countless Low-Level Magical Beasts and Magic Plants.
Yet, hidden beneath this seemingly tranquil beauty was deadly peril.
The airship slowly descended onto a platform built from massive logs. A Defense Array was inscribed around its perimeter, ensuring the area's safety.
The four of them disembarked one by one.
