Silvery and five disciples came back with huge collections form the hunt.
She went ahead and thanked the elders for helping them in that terrible mourning time. after pleasantries, she smilingly entered the now more wide and comfortable base. It has been twenty days since the original Zhi Ru left.
As if she saw things through walls, she went directly to a vacating room and knocked. A sigh came from inside, followed by Hilda's tired voice.
Smirking silvery entered.
Hilda was sprawled on the ground with a countless bottle of liquor strewn about. "After our first talk, you took an amount of food and booze and isolated yourself here, I let you, because I know it's a lot to ask. But the time is up, the real Zhi Rui will show up anytime now. I need an answer."
With bleary, half-open eyelids Hilda asked: "Can you tell me, what are the options again?" Her breath stunk of alcohol but Silvery did not mind.
