Chapter 237: Restoring the Vault
Krobus nodded repeatedly without saying a word, but from his exaggerated expression, it was clear he was both pleased and touched.
“Alright, I need to run. I still have lunch plans, and showing up reeking like the sewer will definitely get me dirty looks. You should also keep a low profile—this recent price hike on Void Essence isn’t doing your kind any favors.”
Before leaving, Leon didn’t forget to remind Krobus.
“Mm, no problem,” Krobus replied with a nod. But after hesitating for a moment, he stopped Leon.
“What is it?” Leon asked, puzzled at the shadowy figure blocking his path.
“You get along well with the Merfolk, don’t you?” Krobus asked in return.
“My relationship with them is… average. But I do have friends among the Merfolk,” Leon explained.
“Then I want you to pass a message to your friend. The Shadow People won’t just sit and wait for death. This bounty has led to many of us being attacked. The priests of the council plan to use assassinations to pressure the Merfolk into rescinding this targeted bounty, and they’re already preparing to act.”
Krobus’ expression was deadly serious.
