A Dove's Invitation

Genrick was hesitant at first, but Arthur managed to coax him word by word into talking. However, he never asked who his employer was because Arthur already knew it was the temple using a mercenary for a risk-free operation.

After some inquisitions, Arthur learned of this scout's story. He was an Awakener working for a major guild before the Battle of Avarice, but the changes in Kera and increasing difficulty of clearing dungeons made the guild's branch close. This left him without a job except hunting in the wilderness or working in reconstruction.

Genrick then became a private investigator, willing to spy or infiltrate inside Kera for a meager sum of money. When Arthur heard what he gets paid, he found it insulting given the risk of losing his life. It made him furious.
