In the lord's estate, Vaan was found fiddling with his spoils from his battle with the Assembly of Silent Night's forces.
A-rank Witch Hunters and S-rank Witch Hunters had a lot of good stuff. Their equipment and weapons were mostly Rank 4, but there were some Rank 5 exceptions.
Although Vaan couldn't tell if such high-quality gears were the norm outside the seven witch kingdoms, he could at least tell they had better standards than the Kingdom of Black Rose.
Nevertheless, he wouldn't learn much about the Assembly of Silent Night until Astarot extracted the information from the prisoners.
Vaan disassembled the equipment one by one and studied them, acquiring glimpses of forging knowledge used in their making.
"You did pretty well restraining yourself," Vaan casually commented after Aeliana returned to the lord's estate, fully aware of the situation outside with his Omni-Sense. "You didn't kill them."
