Chapter 169: Sword Practice (Part 1)
"So he wants to send us inside the Legacy Domain to plunder it for him," Adyr said, lifting an eyebrow as he summed up what he’d just heard.
"That’s right," Malrik replied. "And don’t worry, you won’t go alone if you accept. I’ll be joining you as a Rank 2 representative of Velari and the Astra Path. Of course, other kingdoms will send their own Path practitioners too. It’s going to get a bit crowded in there, but all we have to do is pick up a few valuable things and get out.
