When the three of them walked out of the auction center, a figure suddenly came approaching them and caught Emery off guard.
It was a humanoid life form that at first glance appeared to be made of wood and roots. Emery could also see a greenish glow radiating out from its inside, reminding him of the flame of a lantern.
At first, Emery thought of it as a summon that someone had conjured, Its gestures, however, looked just like a human and made him rethink his assumption.
As soon as the figure stopped in front of the old man, it swiftly bowed its body in a respectful manner. Seeing this, the old man had a soft smile on his face and spoke to it in a gentle tone.
"Ah, yes.. Alba, we will be having guests today. You may go home first, tell the others"
Any guess what Emery will learn/get from this visit?
