Karlo pondered his own question, but he hadn't found an answer at Sherry's.
Unable to sit still, he returned to visit Uncle Pan two days later.
Ever since the sisters had become Transcendents, Pan had mostly been in a semi-retired state—whenever Karlo and Cherie visited him, they would bring along large and small bags full of various foods and daily necessities, which were more than the solitary old dwarf could consume. When Karlo arrived this time, Pan couldn't help but feel a headache seeing another pile of items she had brought. He scolded Karlo playfully and then cooked a dwarf beef stew. While they were eating, Karlo brought up the question that had been bothering him for the past few days.
Pan remained silent for a long while and then said, "I've been a Scavenger for thirty years now, and I've known several rounds of teammates before you girls. You probably haven't heard their stories, have you?"
Karlo shook his head: "Uncle, you don't usually talk about these things."
