248: Future plans

"I will go to great lengths to craft an exceptional armor for her using the materials you've provided. The armor will be capable of not just breaking bones but also delivering fatal blows!"

Gruul made this promise to his master.

Crafting items would consume his life force, but for the sake of meeting Val's expectations, he was willing to do it. 

"I am looking forward to it," Val replied to Gruul, and then asked, "How much time do you think you'll need to finish it?"

"Give me just a few hours, and I'll have it ready for you," Gruul answered him before turning his attention to preparing the armor.

Val watched Gruul for a moment as the latter got to work before shifting his gaze away.
