Azer took his leave and tried to recall all the men who went with them. He listed the names of the men on a piece of paper. He remembered Richaem was with them, but he deliberately did not include his name on the list.
'He's still too young to be regarded as a man. Besides, fewer people simply means there are more rewards for each of us.'

"Gentlemen, you're here!"
"Greetings, Dark Magic Lord," the men uttered in unison.
"Please line up and each of you must touch the orb."
