It had been ten days since Mike's three squads infiltrated Nibra City, and each had achieved commendable success.
Ed and Ophrola's squad had hit it off with the people from House of the Hawk.
Todd had followed Marcus and taken up residence at the Grey Swan Tavern.
Lavan's squad successfully moved into the "Self-Sufficient" grocery store situated at the street corner.
This was a storefront Abram had lent them to live in.
Only after moving in did they realize this wasn't a traditional blacksmith shop—although Abram was a Forging Master, he disdained crafting those cumbersome weapons and was instead engrossed in designing small and exquisite items.
For instance, gardener's pliers and shears, an Enchanter's pen holder, an Alchemist's scale, and so on.
Even the lantern cores commonly seen in Makala—a complicated metal base design, Abram could handcraft them.
