Chapter 1457: Cousin Liaroa
The Alterrans left the two toolmakers with an invitation, letting them think about it, until the day they’d leave. They did not forget to say, of course, that they’re looking into other toolmakers too.
This was a classic way to entice people into making rushed decisions. As long as the offer was tempting, it’d make it more likely for them to accept.
Of course, even if their offer didn’t appear completely trustworthy, the Alterrans were confident these people wouldn’t regret taking their offers—and that showed in the way they talked and how they handled themselves.
Well, wise men did say: The best salespeople are the ones who are 100% convinced of what they are selling!
…
Meanwhile, at the hotel, the siblings really couldn’t sit still. Well, Veronica couldn’t, but her brother couldn’t leave her roaming around on her own, so he joined her.
To protect their identity as associates of Alterra, they simply didn’t work so obviously with Sean and the others. They looked more like two tourists from Towns wanting to know more about Cities. This was completely normal and nothing suspicious at all.
What they found out more about was the ‘end’ of the Golds, which was still a pretty hot topic. As long as it was not discussed in a tone rebellious or questioning of the lord, the Golds were apparently fine to discuss.
They could hear a bit of pity in their tones—especially when referring to the mess that came after—but no one dared voice it out loud.
Another news was that their target Toolmaker Kalfene had been kicked out! They knew Sean and the others went to him, and it increased the chances of a successful recruitment. Now all they had to do was to extract them safely while keeping their destination a secret.
According to the instructions, the ideal scenario was to keep ‘everything under the radar’, whatever a radar was.
