Initially, Roger had planned to choose the Shadow Gate fragment held by Black Soul.
The Silver Manuscript in the hands of the Paladin was indeed precious, and perhaps for the real Mr. Mist, that item was essential.
But Roger was not Mr. Mist after all.
Hunter's Cabin was situated in the Shadow World, and if he obtained that fragment of the Shadow Gate, it was very likely that Roger could use the Shadow World around the cabin as a springboard to explore more extensive areas.
Yet, in an instant, another issue came to his mind.
The abandoned Shadow Gate at the Lietta family estate might not be a secret, and this seemingly casual choice might expose certain information about himself.
If that were the case, Roger would rather settle for second best.
At least he could hand over the Silver Manuscript to Hunter's Cabin.
But now, the more he thought about it, everything seemed to be a conspiracy.
The Paladin had produced a Silver Manuscript containing a complete small world.
