Since Fran didn't consider the spy from the Noble Temple to be of much importance, Adrian kept his head down in the laboratory, working on his box.
He had already told Hensley that he wanted to follow Miller's Legend on a voyage to the deep sea and asked for Miller's permission.
Miller's Legend was always willing to do such favors with a mere gesture of his hand.
Moreover, the Deep Sea Demigods always liked to provide passage certificates to those they traded with. Since Adrian dared to go, he certainly had one.
Even for a legend, the deep sea was very dangerous, as sea monsters acted on a whim.
The same day he spoke with Hensley, Miller's Legend contacted Adrian directly, granting him permission in a very friendly tone.
Adrian looked at the box in his hands and, following Hill's advice, the more splendid the better, glittering with gold, bright in color, and the best if it could reflect light under the sun.
