Listening to Minos' questions, that Spiritual Sage of the Eastern Empire was not surprised that someone like this young man understood his motivations so well.
But what good would it do to talk to Minos about what his group was pursuing? This young man could indeed search more efficiently for anything in the northern region than his group, given the fact that he was from the area.
However, the limitations for Minos' forces to find the item he was after would not be any less than his. So this man did not know whether or not it was worth trying to talk to this young man.
Minos then suggested. "If you need to find something, we can make a deal. As long as you go back where you came from, my people will search in secret for whatever it is."
Still, that man stayed silent and said nothing.
After a moment of silence, Minos asked. "Tell me one thing. How far will you or your group go to support Abe?"
