Kristin poured Ivita a glass of boiled water, then put on her own tanned dragon leather, and said to Ivita, "So, you're hiring me to help you go to the Alsace graveyard to place a stone that you've enchanted with spatial magic?"
"Then what was the point of making such a fuss about hiring those sneaks?"
Ivita spoke straightforwardly, "They're just a distraction. You're my trump card. Everyone knows that those assassins are unlikely to complete the mission, and I don't trust them much. If they can help me get the grave soil, I have a way to use it to trace back to the Ancestral Spirit, but the Alsace Kingdom basically knows that I intend to create the Soul of Darkness, so they've been on guard against the graveyard for a long time."
"Therefore, I need a surprise element. I need your help, Kristin."
