Corbin Crowley caught a glimpse of their bewildered expressions, snorted dismissively, and didn't bother keeping them in suspense. He briefly explained the process of discovering The Salt Lake, then outlined the salt refining method Luna Sutton had described.
"Mm, just come with me and you'll see. I'll take you over to have a look."
With that, he bent down to grab the wild boar on the ground and prepared to leave.

Finn Arcanus snapped out of it, looked at Corbin, and his expression grew complicated. "Ironclaw... he stayed at the cliff."
