Shanzo and Malique made it back to the city. They were worse for wear but they were happy.
"We going to be rich."
Malique said as they wanted to go to the guild and sell the core that they had stolen. Before they could do that, they met up Alina who they knew would scold them for going out of the city without her, and she did just that.
They went to the inn as she forced them to wash up.
As soon as they returned, she had a bad feeling. At Nojia's place, two people were by the door. They were wearing black armor that covered them from head to toe. They instantly knew they were powerful when they saw them. Laureate thought one of them was the one they saw leaping from the castle the night before.
Alina stepped forward and made the others wait for her outside. Inside the place was some kind of dangerous aura exuding from it. She assured them that she would be fine and left them. She walked in after the two who were outside let her in.
