Master and Servant (Part 1)
"Have you found anything interesting?" Acala asked with a smug grin on his face.
"Only the Warp Gate. Aside from that, just empty caves and lots of dirt." Lith lied, dusting his shoulders. "No trace of the undead either."
"Well, it seems it's up to me saving the day, huh? It took me a bit of luck, but I found Odi writings engraved on the walls."
"You can read them?" Lith opened wide his eyes for an instant, feigning surprise and ignorance.
"Of course I can. Sort of. After hearing about the Kulah incident, I thought that not everyone can be so lucky to have Professors by their side when they stumble upon ancient ruins.
"I researched the Odi a bit before resuming duty since they gave even the great Ranger Verhen a hard time." Acala mistook Lith's grimace for envy, while it was his usual glare.
'He knows about the Odi. How surprisingly convenient.' Lith thought while a few pieces fell into place.
