Gold Making

Right after understanding what I needed to do next, I went back to Pero, who was still busy managing his small merchant stand. I didn't want to simply disappear without leaving any explanation behind, especially after everything he had done for me during our journey, so I decided to tell him about my plans.

Thankfully, Pero understood my intentions without trying to stop me. He even gave me some food for the journey, insisting that I would need something to eat if I intended to spend several days away from the settlement. I thanked him before gathering my belongings and preparing to leave.

I passed through another gate on the opposite side of Triandum, one that led directly toward the mountain I had been told about earlier. During my preparations, I had learned that the mountain was called Decium, a name that apparently meant Decaying Mountain.
