Chapter 37: The Doctor’s Praise

Shard still met in the same treatment room, and compared to the lady he encountered last night on the third floor of the club, Shard had a considerable amount of trust in Dr. Schneider. Thus, he laid out everything that had happened last night without believing there was any detail that needed to be hidden.

Of course, this included matters related to the "Box of Darkness"; only that Shard obscured the conditions under which the box's containment failed.

Upon hearing about the initial loss of control over the relic, Dr. Schneider stood up in surprise and began pacing the room; halfway through, as Shard mentioned the Sage-Level "Relic," the doctor stood still, covering his forehead. When he heard about the "Silver-Eyed One's" mad idea, he groaned openly:

"Such a madman, I had known before that the 'Blood of Mercury' was in the New World, trying to use its unique minerals for alchemy. I never expected it would actually come to Tobesk."
