Ali, in truth, did not know the race of Gick, a fact that remained uncertain even within the hallowed confines of the "Hall of Truth."

"Your observation is quite meticulous, noticing so much in such a short span. You're not just any ordinary adventurer, are you? Your disguise even fooled me, which means I've indeed miscalculated," Gick noted with a hint of respect.

"If you wish to uncover the whole truth, you'll have to kill me. Otherwise, those secrets will never be fully revealed."

Gick extended his right index finger, placing it vertically between his eyes.
"A complete, Orc United Empire-era Mana Research Institute Ruins!"
The revelation of a complete set of ruins!
Ali stood frozen, shaken by the profound truth hidden behind those words.
