Lucien returned to Lootwell soon afterward.
Before allowing the Alloykins to meet the Lithrens, there was one person he needed to speak with first.
Riri.
As the recognized leader of the Lithrens, she had the right to decide how her people would receive them.
Lucien found her in the main chapel of Lootwell's western territory.
The building was busy.
Outsiders filled the open halls, studying the available Quests.
Most of the current tasks were simple.
They required participants to transfer energy into one of Lucien's Covenant items.
Once the Grace System confirmed that the assigned amount had been provided, the reward would be deposited directly into the participant's storage artifact.
There was no need to wait for an administrator.
No one could falsely claim completion.
The system handled everything.
Lucien passed through the crowd without attracting too much attention at first.
