'So, what then?' Eldrian asked as he also received a system message.
[The second stage of the dungeon has been completed]
[Due to the nature of completion of the second stage, the reward will be renegotiated]
Following this notification came one about the hidden quest.
[Hidden Quest first stage complete]
[Find and save Vivian]
[Next stage: Return to the army to complete the quest.]
Eldrian did not read the notification right away, rather he focused on what Zamia and Agamemas were saying.
'You show talent, but you clearly have gotten no real training. You were never in an elven settlement, so this does make some sense. Humans also have that stupid mentor system, did you accept any mentors?' Agamemas asked.
Wondering if it had been wrong to do so, Eldrian admitted that he had. 'Yes, two in fact. One for blacksmithing and another for fighting.'
Hello:
This was quite difficult to write. I constantly had a tear in my eye as I wrote it. I felt this pain too, to a lesser degree, but I hope it helped me write the scene better.
I hope I managed to properly convey his struggle and that it did not feel contrived. That it made sense and not like a silly breakdown.
