Bab 76: Saying Goodbye to Hugh

Toz decided to leave early in the morning after their mini-barbeque. Hugh had recovered enough that as long as not another Rat King showed up, he would be fine.

Hugh sent him off with a smile. Despite the way Toz had gone about doing things when dealing with Hugh, there seemed to be pretty significant goodwill directed toward Toz from him. Toz suspected that it was because of the Rat King's corpse and only because of that.

To Hugh, Toz was pretty fresh off of his mother's lap and was new to the business of dealing with materials and resources that were acquired from exploring. Since that was the case, even if Toz was capable and knew that the Rat King was valuable, he wouldn't know exactly how valuable a corpse as intact as it could be, was. Hugh, however, could quickly realize from the information he had gotten from the messenger that had told him about the Scorched Earth Rats and the Scorched Earth Rat King that he had practically been handed a fortune.
