Splitting our force.
Yeah. Of course! It wasn't like we were consisted of weaklings. Even Zarfa, who looked like she couldn't contribute anything but money and brain, knew how to kill someone with a hand fan--something her mother told her to learn because a successful merchant's life was always bound to be targeted.
Now that I thought about it, we actually never fight full force, together. During the mercenary attack, I handled them with the Hero alone. In the ruin, we split our force. Of course, going to the ruin or dungeon alone was never recommended, because anything might happen. But even then...just splitting into two groups would help a lot.
"Unfortunately, I don't think we can split into more than two," Zarfa said. "Not because we lack manpower, but...I don't think anyone other than you and Jin would be able to tell whether or not the relic is legit."
