At the same time, inside the Shelter Lord's office, Arnold sat behind a plain wooden desk while several reports rested before him.
The room was quiet, and unlike the noisy halls outside, only the sound of paper shifting filled the space. Arnold's expression remained strict as he read the file again, but his thoughts were still on the white-haired boy with the strange summons.
According to the information gathered, the boy was the son of a grave keeper who lived near the outskirts of Stoneheart City. He had no record of formal combat training, no known guild backing, no military education, and no known sponsor before entering the Ascension Mountain.
The report made one thing clear.
He was good at burying people.
