"Do I get equipment for this mission or in exchange for my services?" Nalrond asked.

"Yes." Faluel's words brought a smile to his face. "If you find it while on the job. As I said multiple times, you are not my apprentice and magical materials don't grow on trees."

"Are you really giving me equipment only to not look bad in an Awakened measuring contest?" Protector was flabbergasted.
