"Don't be so eager to leave, my friend. There's something I need to ask you."
The voice came from behind, and Herag turned to see the same few people he had noticed earlier.
Bawei said expressionlessly, "Who are you?"
Herag replied, "I'm a formal member of Serlandir, here on a mission."
"Someone from Serlandir?" Bawei was somewhat surprised and continued, "A lone mission? What kind of mission would a Liquidation Wizard be assigned in a polluted zone?"
Bawei instinctively didn't believe him. He's a veteran of the polluted zone, and has never heard of any faction sending a Liquidation Wizard on a mission there.
The kid obviously wasn't being honest, he was just giving a roundabout answer.
Herag replied, "It's confidential, so I'm unable to answer."
Bawei asked, "You say you're from Serlandir, but how do I know you're not just saying that? Show me your Talisman Stone to prove your identity. Otherwise, I'll have to treat you as an Abyssal Cultist."
