Eluard was taken aback when he realized who the old man was.
'Isn't that… Elder Flock?'
The old man appeared to be overjoyed. This piqued Eluard's interest who was about to present himself in front of the archmage.
"Dartex surely have done the demonic creatures a great favor. Their meticulous plans are really something, eh?"
Elder Flock calmly massaged his long white beard, unaware of Eluard's presence on the sides.
"I wouldn't have stumbled upon this discovery was it not for the rumor about the divine frost dragon's sudden aggression."
"Hmm… now, how do I deal with this, huh? Eh?"
Footsteps were heard behind Elder Flock. When he turned around, he was surprised to see a familiar figure he hadn't expected to see in this desolate frozen landscape.
"It is my greatest honor to meet you once again, the disciple of the great master of magic, Mr. Kai.", Elder Flock bowed in sincerity.
