Chapter 194:
Although Murphy spoke smoothly, telling Grayman not to feel any psychological pressure, after the children who were satisfied with touring the Blood Vulture Halls with Sister Jules returned to the camp, the young men from the civil engineering department were still under immense pressure.
Even though he repeatedly persuaded himself that these were just NPCs woven from lines of code, and he was merely undertaking a career-oriented quest, even if he failed, it wouldn’t have any real impact.
However, it’s easy to deceive others but extremely difficult to deceive oneself.
Especially since Grayman’s personality was inherently more responsible and sensitive.
Just the thought of his plan going awry and causing casualties in the soon-to-be-rebuilt Crimson Citadel during winter made his heart sink.
Therefore, when he returned to his tent office, he was completely dejected under the psychological strain.
This change was keenly perceived by his assistant who brought him a cup of tea.
The assistant assigned to Grayman was a pair of sisters born into a merchant family in the city. They were supposed to live a life of luxury, but the Astral Realm disaster destroyed everything. Fortunately, their mother was still alive.
Indeed, these two young ladies were the daughters of Blanche Palen Fedo, the lady who had been appointed as the Logistics Commander under the Count of Kadman.
