Amberser's Shapeshifting was very proficient, not only perfect in appearance but also identical in voice when speaking.
But impersonating a stranger ultimately required time to practice, and in his haste, Amberser had forgotten the basic persona of Monger Greyriver.
Due to its poverty and remoteness, the Fury Tide Kingdom had few talents, and Monger Greyriver's high-level Magic Scrolls for his sea voyages all had to be prepared by these Court Magicians.
Having just lost an embarrassingly one-sided battle against the Silent Night Pirate Group, it made no logical sense for him now to declare that he had cleverly lured the leader of the pirate band to come alone.
Although these three Court Magicians were merely workers, the war could very likely involve them. Hearing the commotion outside, could a common Legendary figure cause that? This level of combat had exceeded expectations, and Monger Greyriver's vague explanations were unsettling. Who could be at ease?
