When Melita left, she had also taken away the ring left behind by the evil cult follower. As a way to thank Gawain's help in returning this ring on this transaction, Melita represented the Mithril Vault and gave a promise:
In the future, as long as there were any discovery of Eternal Stone Slate's shards on the outside or any similar 'inhuman artifacts', they would prioritize informing Gawain.
To Gawain, this promise was far more valuable than the ring.
However, a certain half-elf didn't seem to think the same way. Amber laid down on Gawain's table, planting her face on the surface of the table, and flipped over like a salted fish while muttering, "A single glance and I know that thing is very expensive… And it is taken away just like that… Not even for a single copper coin… The people from the Mithril Vault are simply misers… Furthermore, they even had a meal before leaving…"
