After the trio had finished their business and left, Henry noticed a peculiar individual not far away, staring at him with a smile.
Instructing Stove and his companion to wait, Henry approached the stranger alone. There was an unusual aura about this person, as if he had been waiting for Henry.
"You must be the awakener named Hitel," the man said as Henry approached.
"And you are?" Henry inquired.
"I'm Sarawood," the stranger revealed.
"Sarawood? The deity from the council who oversees finances? What brings you here?"
Henry's mind raced to the recent incident where the stone creature had collapsed unexpectedly; it seemed likely that Sarawood had intervened.
What could his purpose be?
Wearing a smile, Sarawood said something unexpected: "Hitel, I have something for you."
