Reymon let out a slow breath and nodded once.
"Well…. If you support us, you will become their enemy sooner or later. Are you sure you want that?"
Aksai chuckled lightly, as if he found the idea amusing.
"I can't hide forever. I have already become a Core Formation Lord, so I must take risks. Besides, even if I do nothing, the corrupted druids will still blame Sharang for the changes here.
"You will draw danger no matter what. Strong people from their side may notice, but they can't enter Sharang themselves. They will send others to act for them. At such a time, you will be a useful piece for me to move even during my absence."
He said this without shame, almost like it was plain logic.
Reymon gave a dry, humorless chuckle.
"So you want me to use you as a pawn to learn more about the corrupted druids? I… should have expected something like this."
He stared at the wine cup again, unsure whether to feel grateful or afraid.
