After exiting the room where the Ghost Child resided, Stephan and the girl continued through the castle. Sometimes, there were some noises but they didn't matter anymore since anything ghost-like would see him friendly. The girl was surprised at how the ghosts didn't attack them. For now, he had to get that weapon since it was left there by Aurora; it should be something good for the future.
He noticed that he needed 3K experience points to advance a level so getting as many quests as he could from the castle should be worth it; it would make him reach the end of the second phase faster. The quest of the Ghost Child gave him 700 experience points and the merchant quest would give him 350 experience points since it was considered easier.
He also needed a mount. Travelling on foot was energy-consuming and if there was a sudden ambush, it would be a problem for him if he was tired. He returned the dagger to the inventory once he went downstairs.
