The Four Branches of War

...

Two hours passed by quickly as the Mystical Realm Palace had already re-opened. Since Izroth had completed his preparations, he spent the remaining time with Aurora and caught up with her on her plans for the Mystical Realm Palace. Even though Izroth insisted that she could handle things in the way she wanted, Aurora still maintained that it was best that he stay up-to-date about his own business.

As for what to do with the craftsmen Izroth hired for the Mystical Realm Palace, Aurora deemed that their monthly salary was too high—even when compared to the players from top guilds. However, she chose not to touch this for two reasons.

The first was that Izroth had already promised them said salary. If he went back on his word, it would worsen his reputation and that of the Mystical Realm Palace. This would make it extremely challenging to hire skilled craftsmen in the future.
