Chapter 589: 403
They soon arrived at their destination.
Seagull Travel Agency" was not large, even slightly smaller than the restaurant they had just visited, with a sign that bore the name and an icon of a white seagull spreading its wings.
As they pushed open the door, the first thing that greeted them was a large white seagull specimen hanging on the wall, with the owner standing behind the front desk, engaged in a spirited discussion with several people.
Aside from the group of five students, there was also a couple and three men wearing duckbill caps and dark jackets.
The owner looked very young, even quite young… only about sixteen or seventeen years old, a girl with golden twin ponytails, but her demeanor was quite mature.
"Believe me, you won't find a second agency in Olivares Town with this price!"
The owner confidently slapped the price book in front of her.
The three men didn't seem to object and quickly took out three Gold Pounds, placing them on the front desk. The couple, who also looked wealthy, paid the guide fees without hesitation.
However, the five students were still bargaining, but ultimately could not withstand the young female owner's assertiveness, and ended up paying one Gold Pound per head. Yet, seeing the painful expressions on the students' faces, one could tell that this money was mostly their last resort savings.
The owner with golden twin ponytails smiled broadly as she counted the Gold Coins, then looked up towards the door once more.
Her eyes moved from the cow and the bespectacled young man to Chen Lun, her eyes brightened.
"Oh, business is really good today... Welcome, welcome, gentlemen. Are you interested in a trip to Kellettville Forest? Only one Gold Pound, guaranteed to let you sightsee worth your money's view, you might even bring back some special souvenirs!"
Chen Lun stepped forward, pretending to examine the interior decoration of the travel agency; his gaze swept over old photos and cheap souvenirs while he spoke:
"What's your travel route like? Just a general tour around? Or deep inside the forest..."
"Of course, we won't go too deep. The innermost parts of Kellettville Forest are very dangerous, even the bravest local hunters only circle around the outskirts..."
The owner with golden ponytails raised an eyebrow.
"However, if you have special requests, I can consider them, but I also need to take responsibility for your safety, so the guide from our travel agency will primarily lead."
Chen Lun glanced at her.
"I don't need your travel agency's constant accompaniment, but when we reach a point where we can't go any deeper, I need you to guide us in the right direction... My destination is the Augusta Mountains."
"What are you going to do there? It's dangerous!"
The owner with golden ponytails scrutinized Chen Lun and Noah, even the cow behind them.
"Fifty Gold Pounds."
Chen Lun said flatly.
The female owner stopped questioning, chuckled, and slapped the desk:
"Okay!"
Chen Lun immediately took out fifty Gold Coins from the panel, put them in a small money bag, and handed it over.
The owner's eyes sparkled, and she pocketed the money bag and slipped into the back room. Before going in, she asked everyone to wait a moment, indicating that the guide would arrive soon.
About ten minutes later.
The door to the back room opened again, and a girl in a bright outfit, wearing a pink beret, and carrying a backpack walked out.
"Let's go, we're setting off!"
The crowd looked at the guide with strange expressions, dazzled by the pair of golden twin ponytails.
The husband in the couple hesitated and then asked:
"Aren't you the owner here?"
"Ah? I forgot to introduce myself... My name is Lutina Castillo. I'm the guide for Seagull Travel Agency... and part-time owner."
The blonde twin-ponytailed girl straightened her beret and chuckled.
