Sein got the actual location of his best friend in Frieren anime episode 16
Episode 16 began with Frieren and her party arriving at a village in the Klar region to meet her long-time friend, Voll the Dwarf. The Elven mage noted how Voll had been protecting the village for nearly 400 years.
Though initially appearing senile, Old Man Voll warmly greeted Frieren and her party before encouraging them to enjoy their stay. The rest of the episode followed Frieren's group as they took on different tasks from the villagers while having no other plans.

In that instance, a villager disclosed to Fern that Voll was lonely, as he had no one to converse with. When the Elven Mage inquired why he continued to protect the village for so long, Voll mentioned that he was fulfilling a promise to his human wife.
Frieren and Voll's intimate conversation rekindled memories of their illustrious past, bolstering their determination. After bidding farewell, the group pressed on with their travels and reached Rohr Road. Sein persistently pursued leads on his long-lost best friend, questioning the locals about his location.
