122 Shouldn't friends help each other?

Back in the Blacksmith Hall, Marcus had already received the news that Krune returned. So he was expecting him to drop by sooner or later. Soon, an attendant contacted him to tell that Krune had arrived. Marcus then dropped what he was doing and went out to receive him.

"So you finally came, you made me wait a lot, no?"

Krune just laughed and gave some excuse.

"It was a sudden mission of the guild, sorry for that.

Marcus just brushed this information aside, though.

"Alright, forget that. Come in and show me the Hexagonal Shields. I want you to tell me how they did during the gathering and if there was any problem."

Krune nodded and went inside with Marcus. He then took all the shields out and gave them for him to check.
