Ben was a professional and a member of the first tier of the Thieves Guild.
He had seen, tasted, and played with a wide range of experiences, so much so that second- and third-tier nobles wouldn't dare to challenge him.
Having frequented the underworld of the Western Continent for many years, he had seen all sorts of peculiar items, cultural treasures, ancient Curse Artifacts, genuine relics from the Ancient Era to treasures forged by contemporary Divine Craftsmen, including the Fierce Sun Halberds of the former generals of the Winter Country and Leviathan, the Sword of the legendary Demon Hunters and even the fabled Junlin Sword during a transaction.
He had kidnapped a variety of rare intelligent species for ransom before, including young Behemoths, Druids, and Forest Elves.
But he had never seen a scene like this one before.
