Wiping his flintlock, Raymond smiled at his new companion who had 'repented' and 'turned to good' under 'persuasion.'
Although they no longer had bodies and could only exist as ghosts, for these knights of the queen, this was nothing of significance.
The living are governed by the Queen.
And so are the dead.
What pleased Raymond the most was that he had obtained several important pieces of information from these new comrades.
Among them, the most delightful for Raymond was that outside Hans Port, there lay hidden a small arsenal capable of arming a hundred people.
It was full of new weapons developed by the New Federation.
Even heavy weapons were not in short supply.
"Captain Raymond, I need to leave now,"
"The Commander has already sent orders."
"And…"
"I'm really sorry about before."
Gulate, now an undead who had directly become a mid-level Evil Spirit, bowed slightly to Raymond with a heavy expression of apology.
"No need for apologies."
"It's all in the past."
