Slaier returned to the Temple of Lies, immediately summoning Wally.
The sound of footsteps approached from outside the hall, and the spokesman of lies pushed the door open and hurriedly stopped in front of Slaier. He raised his hands high, fell to his knees with a thud, and bowed to kiss the tip of Slaier's shoes.
"Ah... resourceful Slaier, please spare me!"
As Wally spoke, he diligently kissed the shoe tip, his voice filled with regret,
"I let someone escape, it's my negligence, I've failed the trust of a great Divine!"
Upon hearing Slaier wanted to see him, the clever boy immediately guessed something—Slaier had discovered someone had escaped.
The boy didn't know who had leaked the news, or if Slaier had some way to verify the head count. In any case, Wally immediately thought of a strategy.
