"It's really safe… He's gone."
"Right… This mission is basically a failure."
"What a pity…"
The Copper and Iron Ranks looked broken as their morale was shattered. It just didn't feel right seeing how their Caravan's most prized item was taken away from them.
But Mr. Shrubs… he was strangely calm even after the item was actually stolen.
He straightened his cloak, brushed snow from his shoulders, and gave orders to the escort and adventurers. He didn't even look said or frightened anymore.
"Recover the mage's body! Quickly! We must honor his sacrifice. His family will be compensated generously."
Nara and the others wryly smiled after hearing this.
'He thinks Rayven is dead… At least he's not planning to just leave him here.' They thought.
Still, Shrubs wasn't finished.
"Do not waste time mourning. The cargo is gone, but we will continue. The Guild will not blame us if we report that a Tier 5 Archmage intervened. That is beyond mortal defense."
