With that, the Village Chief nodded and rose from his seat as he walked toward the door, leading Asher toward the houses of the kidnapped villagers, his steps steady and assured despite his blindness, as though the layout of the village existed vividly within his mind.
"The Adventurer Guild team that came to investigate, how many were they?" Asher asked as he walked, his tone casual yet deliberate, as though the question held more weight than it initially appeared.
The Village Chief, who was walking beside Asher as though he were not blind at all, asked calmly, "Which one?"
Asher arched an eyebrow in confusion. "What do you mean by which one?" he asked, a faint crease forming between his brows.
"Three different teams looked into the kidnapping issue, and they all vanished, so which team are you asking about?" the Village Chief replied in the same composed tone, as though stating something ordinary rather than alarming.
