. I rejected their demands.”
”First I've heard of that.”
”Because I never brought it up. Those people have picked up reports of me receiving Eda-dono's

”I see. Got it.”
Seeing a user of
known as <Healing Hand of Herb Saint> seemingly establishing a healthy relationship and making frequent visits to Wazrof, it's only natural for some people to mistake that they could likely negotiate for sessions of

However, Manfrey rejected every single one of those demands.
Yet that would hold no persuasive power if the head of the family alone would receive the grace of

”Members of Wazrof who treated Korona-dono like a disposable medicine jar had mostly died off by now. It is nigh time for our house to let itself be freed of
.”
The next day, a priest, messenger of the temple head, paid a visit to ask an audience with Lecan.
Lecan went to see that messenger. Accompanied by the House Aide of Wazrof, Fujisur.
The priest wished to see Eda in person, but Lecan wouldn't allow it.
The priest congratulated Lecan's engagement with Eda and handed over a gift. A pedestal made of silver in the shape of the holy tree adorned with God Yuminos's holy seal with a jewel on top, which the priest referred as God Yuminos's Holy Orb.
The priest incessantly encouraged for Eda to pay the temple a visit.
However, Lecan told the messenger that they have no interest in Yuminos Temple so they won't make a visitation, and they won't go see the temple head unless the temple head enumerates what they want from Eda.
Lecan also spoke that they were currently pressed for time, and cut the session short.
The priest seemed to have given up trying to see Eda in person and asked Lecan to come visit the temple head at the temple if they have time before leaving.
Their armor was done in four days time as scheduled, fit surprisingly snugly when Lecan and Julius gave a try. They were also surprised at how swiftly it could be put on so long as they follow the procedure. Mashajain's craftsmen are truly on a whole other level.
But Eda wasn't fond of the dragon leather armor. She said because it was heavy, but Lecan surmised that it's probably an issue with its looks. Queen Spider's armor has this gorgeous vivid blue luster. Contrary to that, the Petitfire Dragon's armor is dark brown-colored with a somber feel to it, which isn't to Eda's fancy.
”Well, you're free to keep your old armor on. But there will come times when you need to put on the dragon leather armor.”
”Un. I know.”
They have neither the Queen Spider armor nor the Petitfire Dragon armor on them when they're traveling to begin with. It's only equipped when they're in a dungeon.
Lecan got to listen to all kinds of anecdotes from an individual who's been researching <Descenders>.
Lecan thought that the Founder King of Zaka Kingdom might have been a <Descender>, but since both the Founder King's father and mother are related to Wazrof House, his lineage is crystal clear. He can't possibly be a <Descender>.
He laughed when he found out one of the individuals suspected to be a <Descender> was Mazara Wedepasha. Zoltan's name didn't come up. Among the still living adventurers, three of them are suspected to be <Descenders>. As one of them is active at Egis, they might eventually meet.
The researcher threw a lot of questions at Lecan.
Lecan wasn't gonna give any answer to questions pertaining his abilities.
”Never attempt to pry on adventurer's abilities and equipment. That is a matter of life and death to me.”
Thus he gave a warning. He would readily replied to questions about all other subjects though. Things like how the people there live their lives, how the countries work and such.
On the 25th of month six, Lecan, Eda and Julius left Mashajain.
They were planning to head straight to Palcimo at first.
But they had a change of plan along the way.
