'Snow Cloud Peak' glanced at the Halfling priest twice, and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue... Mobi is just foolish, does he really want to know why this Alchemist didn't choose Manks?
Anyone with a bit of self-awareness wouldn't want to volunteer for that, right?
He hoped to deduce from Ellie's words whether this unknown Xieke was someone sent by Queen Amelia.
That queen would definitely send someone... If there's a fight at the doorstep, one would get nervous, not to mention this is a brawl happening in her own backyard.
But the timing of the arrival is different.
Especially, if no one has appeared yet and they're waiting for someone possibly sent by the Queen, they need to be more on guard.
That would prove she is absolutely a hard-liner and might try to pull the rug from under their feet after they fight the vampire.
