Bab 450: Mad Man Meant For Greatness

"Hey, what are you still doing here?" Josef called out as he spotted a flickering shadow lurking near the iron meteorite mines, illuminated by a dim oil lamp. "It's time for bed!" 

Night had fallen, and most of the workers were already planning on turning in for the night. King Atticus had pulled out his men from the area and sent them back to the palace; Josef heard the other workers say that his wife got into some nasty shit with some escaped convict and he had to go back, but he was of the opinion that King Atticus went back because he got enough iron meteorites.

Men like King Atticus wouldn't stop until they reached their goals.

This meant that this shadow belonged to either a Xahan miner or some stupid knight who refused to go back, thinking he could make away with his own stash of iron meteorites when no one was looking.
