Chapter 48: To the Norse Kingdom!
"Accept Quest,"
"Cassandra, you should be the one to deliver the news to Noel, he'll only believe it if it's you, so please and I'm sorry," Pythia said with a sad smile.
"....Alright,"
"Now then Night, I assume you'll tell your friends what they need to know, as for what to do, get stronger, strength is the only thing that can help you but know this, strength doesn't just mean "you" getting stronger,"
"Thank you,"
Upon leaving the garden, Night met with the group and filled them in on what happened. The room was slightly dull as Mocha was quite perplexed, he didn't know what to do but as if Night could hear his thoughts, he said,
"Get stronger, that is all I can tell you,",
"Then until next time," he said a he turned around to leave.
Noctis that was in Aurora's hand followed Night and proceeded to rest on his head once again.
After he entered the outskirts of Vraun, Night called out Shade and asked him to keep watch.

"Woah, how do I learn magic? and what are these "Phantom" and "Legacy Trials? I need to learn how to become a smith as well as an artisan? and 10,000 people? that's.... a little too much no? besides, where am I possibly going to find so many people?.....*sigh* let's start with whatever's close by I guess? to the Norse Kingdom, it is! " Night said
The Norse Kingdom was comparatively closer than the Imperial Kingdom, and they were rumoured to be quite skilled at Smithing, of course, the Dwarves were the real masters of Smithing, they were even expert artisans but for now, the Norse were the best option.
The Norse weren't exactly a peaceful race but they kept to themselves, however, with the Imperial Kingdom and its policy to invade and acquire all land, the Norse didn't have much of a choice but to be aggressive, both the kingdoms were equally strong, the Imperial Kingdom specialized in strategic warfare whereas the Norse focused more on brute-force, however, that didn't mean the Imperial army did not have anyone strong nor did it mean the Norse were all brawn no brain, it was just that each Kingdom had their specialities.
The only possible obstacle for Night was crossing Tokihiko, not only was the climate horribly extreme but the mobs there were demons but that didn't stop Night, of course, even he would have trouble dealing with demons, especially with almost no gear but he was curious to see what kind of mobs did his Master deal with.
The demons were a vicious and brutal race, they inhabited the Underworld and it was said that when demons are spotted somewhere in a large number then it meant that, there was an opening to the Underworld situated there.
The Underworld, one of the endgame locations in Genesis, was a region the public wasn't aware of, at least not yet, according to the general public, Genesis was only two continents with a large water body between those continents.
The Underworld wasn't primarily inhabited by demons, in fact, the majority of the Underworld were humans.
Tartarus, Elysian Fields, the Fields of Mourning as well as Asphodel Meadows were the 4 divisions of the Underworld.
Tartarus was the region where majority of the worst transgressors and demonkin and monsters existed, so to say Tokihiko was a dangerous place wasn't an exaggeration, since there was a good possibility that there was an opening that led people to the Underworld
or if their luck was bad enough.... Tartarus.
