Other than these two, the others couldn't sit still as well. When night fell, their Fifth Great Realm representatives came to inform Rachel: "Tomorrow morning, if Lord Algernon hasn't returned, we plan to act independently and leave Copper Gorge."
There was no room for discussion, they were just telling Rachel: we've decided to do this.
Emma Scott's evaluation of this was: "A bunch of self-righteous idiots."
Just as it was getting light, Owen Bertram returned. The elder dragged his injured body over to him: "Lord, you've finally returned, I knew you were a man of your word and wouldn't...abandon us before teaching us all the secrets of the Mechanical Techniques."
The elder almost let the wrong words slip out.
Owen Bertram smiled indifferently: "Can't wait any longer, can you? Let's set out and leave this place as soon as possible."
Then he swept his gaze over the outsiders, and Rachel got the hint, reporting in a low voice: "They originally planned to leave on their own."
