The village isn’t small, with roughly a hundred households.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers mainly make a living by farming the fertile lands by the stream and raising a type of cold-resistant, wool-producing goat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss recalled the village’s information while slowly guiding his chocobo along the countryside road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village’s condition seemed decent; although the wooden fence had some damage, there were no signs of large-scale destruction and repair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old man with graying hair, accompanied by several strong young adults, stood at the village entrance, likely informed by the shepherd boy they encountered earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you the ones sent by the Adventurer’s Guild?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man noticed the neatly worn badges of the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Village Chief.
