"What do you say?" Azure Dragon asked Chesces right after they left.
"If there's indeed a guild backing, we need to find more about them before going into the next round of negotiations. While it's true that the rumours suggest to a mysterious 'Cloud guild', it's quite possible that the Silver Cloud store's backers are a super guild, after all, training an expert blacksmith like the Cloudsmith isn't something an average guild could pull off. If it's a super guild or the main force of a first tier guild, I'm pretty sure that holding a successful negotiation would be one the last of our worries."
Azure Dragon frowned.
