"Not bad. We got a good haul."
"As expected of the rich families. They've got more Mana Stones than us."
"All combined, we got 638 Tier-5 Mana stones. Let's split it in half." Rudrean smiled as he said to Rhodin and Trisha. "We wouldn't have finished them off this easily without you."
"Haha, then we won't stand in the ceremony." Rhodin laughed.
Rudrean handed over 319 stones to them.
"Well, I guess we can buy some good stuff in the upcoming auction with this increase in wealth." Aelira grinned. "These fools must have kept these Tier-5 stones for the auction as well."
"Now they are ours." Isalyn smiled.
"Since we are here, we might as well join the expedition secretly." Trisha smiled. "We'll help in case things go bad. Otherwise, we'll just observe."
…
The hours passed.
Lyra emerged from her crafting spot a little before the expedition was due to depart, her cat ears flicking with the small satisfaction she only ever showed when a project went right.
"Done," she said.
