The discussion of the Elders continued. However, there were two people who weren't saying anything. One was Ulesis, who was still in shock. The second was her father. However, even though her father was silent and expressionless, there was something akin to a smile on the corner of his lips that was barely noticeable.
"We won't be entering the Shadow Garden this time." In the end, the Stein Family Head finally spoke, surprising everyone.
"What are you saying? How can we give up so easily?!" The First Elder asked, taken aback.
"Just as I said. We don't have a powerful shadow mage. So entering now would only mean the death of our people. So we will give up on the search this time. Not like they can find it anyway," the Family Head explained.
"You... How can you even think that?! You should've been even angrier?! Why do you look so calm instead?! Have you become silly with anger?"
