Chapter 281: Declaration of Challenge

Shortly after the dragon lord directed his attention to Vaan's group, everyone tensed up.

"Your group has nothing to worry about. You are not criminals but guests of our land. As such, you won't be judged like these black witches. On the contrary, you are free to stay for as long as you like," Lord Narvim promised before adding, "However, we need to wipe your memories when you decide to leave."

"Our memories, huh? In other words, you want to keep news of your dragon tribe's existence from spreading, Your Excellency," Vaan stated before saying, "It's a pity for those who make it here after much troubles and trials."

"If you don't want your memories wiped, you can prove you are worthy of keeping them by overcoming the second stage in the Trial by Fire, Human," Lord Narvim casually stated.
