The tentacle monster mentioned by Dox is undoubtedly the Wicked Woman.
Upon hearing Dox's address, the Wicked Woman raised her brows, casting a fierce glare.
However, before the Wicked Woman could utter a word, the Gray Merchant held her back. He gave her a look, signaling her to restrain herself.
Immediately after, the Gray Merchant looked at Dox, "If the previous battle caused the Red Sword Wizard to misunderstand my companion, I apologize on her behalf."
Dox responded sourly, "I'm not as petty as she is. Her injuries are obvious to everyone. Inside the Sunlight Sanctuary, her restoration cost far more than everyone else combined. Naturally, her price is higher than others, but that's not unfair treatment—it's a fair trade."
The Gray Merchant pondered for a moment, recalling Angel's earlier mention about the diminishing effects of the Sunlight Sanctuary, and came to a conclusion.
