"Ten days?"
Although Shard was slightly surprised by the timeline proposed by Sister Delphine, he still nodded:
"No problem, we just need to wait for the priest to make a move, and then the council finds Maria Edwards so we can plan to land on the island. Currently, the result of my negotiation with the Witch Council is to stop that Diviner and let Laster Edwards and the former tomb robber conduct the ceremony to become The Chosen One."
The nun did not answer immediately, yet Shard distinctly felt the eyes behind the silver mithril eyepatch were "watching" him:
"Hero of the Flame, you should understand who is truly suitable for this position. Since they left with Grandma, they are already prepared."
"..."
Shard lowered his gaze:
"I know they want to help me. But precisely because of this, I can't let them... Moreover, the second candidate is not dead, it's not their turn yet. Are we to kill Durut Giles prematurely?"
