The four adventurers stepped into the inn. A few people turned to look at them, but unlike the wary glances Eccar and his group had received earlier, Jan's team was greeted with warm looks — even with clear respect. Their reputation was well established, not just in this city but across the entire kingdom. Their faces were known as those of powerful individuals who had completed more difficult quests than anyone else.
They were also famous for rescuing people trapped in the forest — whether ordinary townsfolk or fellow adventurers — and returning them safely to their families. That had earned them widespread recognition and goodwill.
Seeing Jan and his party members, the innkeeper beamed, clearly pleased that such a well-known group had entered his establishment.
"Welcome! It's not often you visit here. Is there something I can help you with?" the innkeeper asked.
