Chapter 580: Lotus Root Juice

For a few minutes, the ruins were quiet as the last of the trial takers left. Then a portal opened back to Bruse Temple, and one of the clerics came through to take the children of the Divine Beast Nation home.

She waved at Remi from across the ruins, then began the task of making sure nobody forgot anything, so they could be returned home in one trip.

Then a portal opened and Council Head Arnold, the Troll that led the Newbon Council, came through.

"Merchant Karl, I have come to collect the kids. Thank you for your efforts so far." He greeted them.

"Not a problem at all. I was asked to remain here for the time being, and I couldn't really refuse." 

"Is there anything entertaining coming up in the next few minutes? I could put off my return." Arnold suggested.
