While Frieren and her companions stop in the citadel of Heiß, Stark offers Fern to go on an appointment, in the tone of the joke. And against all expectations, the young girl accepts. On the advice of the elf, who does not know much about it, the warrior therefore takes his friend around the city, which allows them to get a little closer. After this welcome break, the three adventurers go back on the roads and arrive at the high-plateau of the North, an extremely dangerous area where both tough monsters and twisted demons spread out.
