The Agents of the Brotherhood watched the newcomers with wary expressions.
Despite Krummor's assurance, their hands remained firmly on their weapons and spell components, ready to act at the slightest sign of hostility.
And their caution deepened when they sensed the faint aura of the arriving group.
Every one of them was a powerful Mana Vortex Magus!
And the one leading them, the blue-eyed youth, subtly radiated an even greater aura of danger. Not quite at the level of a Mana Core Magus, but not far either.
The realization made the tension in the air grow heavier, especially considering these men were deep inside enemy territory.
Edward, however, had a relatively flippant attitude at meeting this group. He didn't feel wary. If anything, his blue eyes displayed bright curiosity.
He first glanced at the dwarf, then he scanned the faces of the other men.
"So this is the secret order he and Old Man Berger are a part of," Edward murmured with fascination.
