章 307: Dealing with the Aftermath (3)

Leon and Eli were startled by Zale's voice. 

In their minds, they were actually thankful that Zale did not choose to just enter their cabin unannounced rather than knocking at their main door, or else… they would be caught in an awkward situation.

"Let's go and meet him…" Leon whispered and led Eli into the entrance. 

Eli had a hunch as to what was the reason why Zale went to visit them unannounced, that was to retrieve the grimoire. But she actually wondered, coming to retrieve the mysteriously dangerous relic, why did the guardians only send one to retrieve it?

"Greetings, Esteemed Guardian Zale…" They both greeted Zale who was standing in front of their doorstep pouting like an aggrieved child.

"Hmph… good you came fast!!! Now, now… give me the thing…" Zale's eyes shined excitedly as he saw the couple coming out to greet him. He held out his slender, yet muscular tanned hand and gestured to Eli to give him something.
