Elsa and Tilian turned their heads only to see a burly man walking over with a few others.
"Do we really need your permission for whatever we're doing?" Tilian asked with a smile in reply.
"Am I seeing that you're conducting a private knowledge trade?" The burly man, whose race was unknown, had his entire body inlaid with plate armor covered in scars, looking quite ferocious.
"And what does that have to do with you?" Tilian still asked with a smile.
"Hey, kid, I know you, an Undead life form. Recently you've been lucky, entering the descending Heavenly Kingdom a few times. But did you know, here, all knowledge gained is supposed to go up for public auction, and this private trading of knowledge is a serious crime," said the burly man as he suddenly broke into a grin.
"And then?" Tilian remained unmoved.
