A few hours before
Just after arriving at the Manor, Aldrich had two hours to spare before the first arrival of guests. Two hours weren't much for the task he had in his mind, but there was a way to congest it within that time.
Aldrich hastily went to a spacious room and ordered Trifon to not let anyone come near. He sent a trace of Mana in the FIR and took out the Mana Cores he had got from his expedition into El Cid's Dungeon. With a gesture of his hand, the two Viscount Mana Cores hovered in the air in front of him. The most important task right now was to let Sha out of Mask's influence.
But at the first glance, there were many things wrong with Aldrich's decision.
Even though Aldrich had an outline of the Rumok, a duration of fewer than two hours wasn't nearly enough to carve a Baron-Ranked Rumok. The second issue was even bigger and serious.
