If he said he wasn't moved, it wouldn't be realistic. The thought of the potential existence of an ancient magic spell set a fire in Nian Bing's heart. He nodded, saying, "Let me discuss it with my friends."
Karlo unhooked a leather pouch from his waist, took a drink, and said, "You're all welcome to join. I trust your friends."
He was highly impressed with Nian Bing, who had helped forge an alliance between his Bing Yue Mercenary Group and the Bing Yue Mage Guild. Overnight, they had leapt from being the strongest mercenary group in the Bing Yue Empire to one of the most dominating mercenary groups on the entire continent. Nian Bing had played a significant role in this alliance, and Karlo had always wanted to repay him. Despite the danger of this mission, Karlo figured they were already powerful enough. Inviting Nian Bing was an opportunity to reward him and also to win him over. Long Zhi had hinted in secret talks with Karlo that Nian Bing was being lined up as his successor.
