The adventurer seemed genuinely duped by him, rubbing his hands with a shy smile on his face, yet his hearty voice had a hint of flattery.
"Haha, I believe you! The mages of the Academic State are renowned across the Aus Continent. If you need more of these shiny things, we can collaborate long-term. By the way, my name is Osa! May I ask your esteemed name?"
Long-term collaboration?
Kemidir smiled slightly, feeling amused by this rough adventurer's "arrogance," but his face remained appreciative.
He nodded elegantly and proactively extended his hand.
"Of course we can. I am Kemidir, an assistant at the Tower of Great Sage."
Upon hearing the words "Tower of Great Sage," the awe on Osa's face grew even deeper.
Kemidir greatly enjoyed that look, generously inviting Osa to sit down and ordering him an expensive mug of ale, then casually moved to the main topic.
