Chương 248: Change of Plans

Unsurprisingly, the five were left at a loss for words thanks to Valyr's response. After all, according to what they knew and what they were told, everyone that was informed of their candidacy to the Four Pillars' Inheritance agreed without hesitation. Heck, even being invited to the Imperial Production Guild alone was enough for them to unhesitatingly agree on what the other side had to say.

With that in mind, it took a while for Valyr's words to register within the minds of the five, with Madeline being the first to pose the question that started to linger within the group's minds. "Why decline?" 

"As I've just said, I appreciate the offer." In response to the question, Valyr bitterly smiled. "However, I have no choice but to decline for now since I still have something to do within this city."

"Does it have something to do with the smithy we're currently in?" asked Braum as he gave Valyr a curious glance.
