Tons of warriors, adventurers and mercenaries had made a home in the northern city, so most of their trade was focused around them. From what he had heard, there were even rumors that the ex-local guild, Lamia Scale, was one that valued physical strength and prowess mostly above magical proficiency. Proof of this was the fact that Noel came from the very same city. For the entirety of his stay in Fiore, Kenzo had yet to meet someone as strong as his black haired guildmate. After hearing he was traveling to Orchidia to take a quest, Noel told Kenzo that he used to belong to Lamia Scale before joining Advent World with Finn. As he saw a martial arts academy while the thought crossed his mind, it was more than obvious.
Either way, the rarity of Orchidia didn’t end with their fixation of value physical work and non-magic use. Instead, it came from the looks of the actual city itself. It seemed as if a forest had invaded the town and taken control of the place as if it had been abandoned. Trees grew in weird spots through the streets. Most of the paved cobblestone road had been taken over by a thick layer of moss that grew also in the walls. Vines and tall grass grew in the walls and sidewalks. In other words, it was as if the administrators of the time simply didn’t care. After asking around, he noticed that indeed they didn’t. Even if people liked and appreciated them. It was evident for the townsfolk that the Muramasa family didn’t give a shit over what happened outside of their palace. For that reason, most of the law and order of Orchidia was entrusted to private investigators, some which were renowned and revered in the streets.
It was in this matter where Kenzo had committed a mistake. After hearing there was an impressive investigator, the merc decided that it would be a great opportunity to collect information if he took a request from him. Finding one in the quest board, the blue haired male was eager to meet with this famous fella. What he found instead, was a dude named Dex Miller. Ever since he got in an incident ten years ago, he had believed he was a real detective. In reality, he was simply an odd goofball. Since Kenzo hadn’t considered the fact that there might be more than one detective, he didn’t read the name of his employer when he accepted the quest. Now, he was stuck with the guy for the remainder of the day.
