"In all honesty, I have already delayed the expedition about as long as I could while waiting for you both to return. The other Grand Masters of the guild have been berating me to quicken my pace recruiting people, and even the leader of the guild has been less inclined to allow me more extensions as of late. It would be best if you could both be ready to depart in two days' time." Valerius said.

'Will two days be enough?' Marcus thought.
