"This wasn't supposed to happen, Ned."
Instead of training for the day, Roy favored Ned to help Otik and the rest of the humans to read the symbols on the Gate.
His training went smooth, or much better since Ned had been using both his mana and energy to infuse the broken Butterfly. Giving the broken sword an aura as though could cut to anything it touches.
As for the Gate, Ned was 70% complete with the help of the others. Ned wondered if the Gate was functioning even though it was decades untouched. But it seemed like he won't be there to see when it happens.
Ned bent, checking the other symbols. Aside from its weird patterns, and swirls, and circles, the rest Ned couldn't read. That must be why Kon Sas Koron needed Gogmurch since before he was captured, the old goblin general was doing some of the reading on the Gate.
The three humans stood behind Ned, trying to etch to their minds everything Ned has been doing on the Gate.
