Chapter 185: Bee Wary
Tarwantrad grew some trees, bushes, and vines into a simple barracks that blended with the forest for the wardens. She ordered her monsters and assistants to provide furnishings and supplies while the wardens continued to monitor the nexus. Soon, Wardmaster Varilold returned with more wardens carrying crates and barrels filled with all the supplies necessary for powerful and lasting wards. The wardmaster got to work as soon as she arrived, having already spoken with Tarwantrad on how the wards would interact with her dungeon. Tarwantrad, however, still had something to discuss with her.
“Wardmaster, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you.”
Tarwantrad waited for the woman to nod at her, without bothering to look up from the ward formation she was inscribing right in the middle of a patch of flowers.
“I wish to pass through the door and speak with the dungeon master on the other side. He seems friendly, but we had only just met when the loremaster summoned me back. If we wish to keep the door open, we will need to ensure the other side is in agreement.”
The wardmaster just waved her off.
“Yes, I agree, you don’t need to convince me girl. Go ahead and figure it out. We’ll likely need to bring the master into the Compact eventually anyways.”
Tarwantrad smiled.
“Thank you, wardmaster. I’ll head over there right away. Please inform one of my monsters if you need me.”
The wardmaster grunted and continued focusing on her work. Tarwantrad walked off with a smile, humming a light tune as she made for the nexus door.
